A few months ago I posted questions about an old JD "B" model out in a field a farmer's widow was going to donate to me. Well..... Son-In-Law got wind and now it is his. Oh Well.....

Anyway, my neighbor, who is a widow herself, wants me and another fellow to plow up and reseed her yard. After the conversation about waiting until this fall, she insists that we do it now. Here's the question:
She has a JD 850 (I think) Diesel. This looks to be a compact utility tractor with HP somewhere in the 20's. (Looks to me like a lawnmower on steriods - BIG turf tires, etc.) It has a belly mower on it currently. After I plow up and roto-till the yard with my 4000 Ford, we would like to use her's to drag it smooth and put a 3 point spreader on. Can we use the PTO for the spreader with the mowing deck still attached? In other words, is there a front and rear PTO, or some method of easily disengaging the mowing deck to operate the spreader?

All advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tommy D.

Tommy, You will have to look at the tractor and see what type of PTO drive it is has. The tractor could be front PTO driven with an electric clutch or rear PTO driven off the rear PTO shaft. The 850 tractor could be set up either way. If it has the front electric clutch you are in luck, because the rear PTO will be available to use. If you have the rear type you are S.O.L. The rear drive uses a gearbox that slides right on the rear PTO shaft and can be a pisser to get off. Plus all the mounting brackets that will be in the way, it probably wont be worth the effort. The rear PTO is not a live power either on these models and there is no overrunning clutch. So when you step on the clutch to stop the tractor you will also clutch the power to the PTO shaft. Hope this will help you , good luck. Dave

No front electro-magnetic PTO option on the 850. It was available on the 650 and 750 models. The 850 has a continuous running PTO and you CAN stop and go without disengaging it. Been using mine since it was new for mowing, 5' box blading, tilling, pulling a one row Covington planter, cultivating, and even bush-hogging with a 6' Bush-hog Squealer. Grew up on a '53 Farmall Cub with a Woods belly mower for lawn mowing, so I knew better than to get the belly mower for that 850 when I bought it. Went with the rear mount JD 261 instead. Great little landscaper!!!

tommy the 850 should have a rear pto only with a really weak overrunning clutch and a gear box for the mower that is a bear to get off (had to torch the one on my 78 850 and by new) better use the ford and save yourself a lot of problems
