Trying to see if anyone has knowledge on a diesel engine that would fit(bolt right up or adapter) to a ford 850? I know alot of old tractors had diesel gas or lp versions but dont think the fird 850 did but also know there are some of those "well if you take this engine and do this or that it'll fit"

A Ford 4 cylinder diesel 144 cu. in. engine was introduced in 1958 and used in the 601 and 701 series of tractors. The 4 cylinder diesel 172 cu. in. engine was introduced at the same time and was fitted to 801 and 901 series Fords. Either would be a direct bolt up for you.

From what I remember when researching a replacement engine for my 961, the 4 cylinder engines from the 800 and 900 cannot be replaced by the newer 3 cylinder 3000 and 4000 engines.
