Good Evening all, Here's a new one to me and I'd thought I'd run it past you guys for your input. I recently acquired another 1959 841 S with an elenco 4 wheel
drive system. This is the first 800 series to cover that I've ever seen with no plug to fill the hydraulic system. My other 841, 861, 860 and 4000, all have the
plug just below the seat making it a pain to fill. I know that parts get swapped on these all the time, but this one has me curious. The 2 coats of paint 1 red
and 1 blue, seem consistent all over the tractor. It's stamped 841, it has the 3 point lever on the side along with the draft/position control lever shaft( the
lever is missing). All the 3 point arms and linkages are there along with the PTO shaft, and they show plenty of usage. So its not likely the rear half was
swapped out from an 821. Was wondering if the 821 or 831 top cover didn't come with a fill port? The top cover looks a bit different than my other fords, more
flat on top, not the angle on the side where the fill port is. Take a look and let me know your thoughts. Thanks
