If i'm not mistaken, the 801 is a series of tractors. Mine happens to be the 861, which many people refer to as an 801 series. I have been very pleased with the tractor. It has the 4 cylinder diesel, 5 speed. plenty of power. Pulls the 6ft hvy duty woods cutter. It is very easy to maintenance. I have the pre-heater for easy starting. It is a good tractor because there was so many sold, parts are easy to come by. It is a good 38 to 40hp. I just wish I had the power steering. Its fine with an implement, but when backing up to one, it can be a little tough. I got this one several years ago through some trading, so I dont know the value. I would imagine somewhere around 3000 to 3500 with the imps. Bare probably around 25 to 2800. Mine was overhauled and has been painted.
