Ford 861
Hi all,

Just a quick note to say hi. I'm half owner of a 1958 Ford Powermaster 861. We use it to manage food plots upstate in Susquehanna county. We've replaced the two front tires and rims, reconditioned the hydraulic pump, rebuilt the carb and repaired a few other things as well as gave it a fair piaint job to protect it. Now we're dealing with a PTO that won't engage. Our first step is going to be to pull the pto shaft to see if it's damaged or twisted. I'm still amazed that a 6-volt four cyl. starts every spring with nothing more than a fully charged battery after sitting thru the winter in a barn. Look forward to visiting the sight often. Bob

Blenob,

Welcome to TBN!

The 861 is a strong tractor - 60HP - enjoy the forum and we look forward to seeing you often. What town are your food plots in Susqhanna Co? I am from PA originally.

Belnod.

Nice - bordering the state game lands I see - lots of open (and hilly) land in that area.

Have they done any gas/oil fracking in the area? When I was in Wellsboro earlier this year there were rigs all over the landscape.

They haven't started the drilling yet but have several pad sites in the area and are doing the clearing work to run the pipelines. Hills aren't too bad in our area...nothing the quads can't handle dragging out deer.
