I am considering purchasing a 861 Ford from a private collection.
The price seems workable. Question is can I remove the Dearborn front end loader from the 8N and attach it to the 861? Are they close to the same size? Questioned the owner of the 861 asking if the shifting mechanism was in good condition. In research I have done it seems to hint the shifter from 3rd to reverse may be a problem. Any and all info is appreciated.
