Thank you.

You did a really nice job on this I have a row crop just like this one It runs pretty good but I could probably do like what you're doing to yours You know given it a make over😎

Great job. I was hoping when you finish this project you could post a video of cost and hours spent.

Cost wouldn't be an issue but hours spent, who knows. Sometimes I spend all day working on stuff and other times I can't do stuff for weeks. Had to wait 3 weeks to sandblast the power steering pump and lift arms due to rain here lately.

So much time on it you can’t really keep count I’m guessing

Appreciate you posting. I have 172 engine in my 861 diesel. It runs very good. A little blue smoke out the tailpipe, which makes me wonder if my calves need adjusting. I set them at about 0.016” cold. Any advice? Thx. 😊

Blue smoke is oil burning. A tiny bit is normal. Excessive smoke can be rings/piston bore or injector seals. Valve seals dont really do much on these engines which is where the small amount of blue can come from. Usually get some gray smoke when revving. If you set the valves cold I'd go closer to 0.014" since everything expands with heat.

Great video, just curious, where did you get the exhaust elbow with bracket? I’m trying to put a 4000 row crop together and need one.

My fuel filter "housing" i guess you would call it is leaking literally everywhere from places on the bottom and the little brass nut on top. Any idea where i could pick up a new one or is there some seals in mine i could fix?

There are some seals on the brass fittings from what I can remember. Probably just some o-rings. The main seals are on the filter. As for the housing I don't know of any new ones so you'd have to locate a good used one.

Where to buy hose from filter to pump I need one thanks ???????

I get parts from all over the place. Just8ns, yesterdays tractors, steiner tractor, and ebay to name a few. Love the 801 series diesels. Have an 861-D that I redid 10 years ago. Runs like a champ.

Working on sheet metal right now. Have one hood side ready for paint and other is blasted and in epoxy primer. With growing season here it really slows my progress. Same reason videos are slow coming out right now.

Beautiful Tractor by the way. do you know where to get replacement parts for the fuel line system that goes inside the valve cover assembly? mine is leaking in that area. I have a 1961 Ford 641 D I think it is the 144 engine. Thanks,
