HOW TO RESTORE AN ANTIQUE TRACTOR / BUDGET TRACTOR RESTORATION

Here we do a budget restoration on a Ford 861 Powermaster Diesel tractor. We will clean paint and replace a few parts and get this build out the door. Paints used were Nason Ful-Cryl enamel and Magic brand from Tractor Supply Company. We sprayed them with a Devilbiss GPG spraygun with a 1.6 tip. Several replacement parts came from Steiner Tractor. We were able to find the decals on Ebay. These are some of the most popular tractors for today's homesteads.

I grew up on a 881. My uncle had the first 4000 with the 5 speed like this. The 801 diesel was a powerful tractor. We used it raising tobacco,soybeans and rising beef. Besides a Farmall Cub to cultivate with this was all we needed.

Nice job, I'm doing the same thing to a 1952 8n with a Funk conversion 6 cylinder and Sherman step up & step down transmission. Thank you for the video, it will help me out with my project.

[@genuinejake9851]

Thank you and you are welcome! Good luck!

Radiator should be black and air cleaner gray.

[@genuinejake9851]

I wondered about that. I looked at lots of pictures and finally just went for it.

[@theholeinthewater9452]

@@genuinejake9851 No harm done, its only paint.

[@majorpayne608]

I thought air cleaner is installed under the hood?

[@markdice2500]

Air cleaner is external and gray. Tube from it to intake is body color.

[@swampmonster123]

How much does a job like this cost to have done?

[@genuinejake9851]

Thats tough to answer. With product prices at all time highs and climbing the largest cost can be materials at times. I would just say in the $2000 range for a ballpark

[@robertrockwell7581]

the more I watch these videos the less I like Steiner tractor. always seems somebody gets a part that does not fir right or something is not included in a kit they order. and I have watched quite a number of these videos where that has happened in almost all of them. they should get their act together.

[@genuinejake9851]

Well.... I will say this. In all of my projects which range from trucks to tractors to motorcycles, there are always minor to major issues with reproduction parts. Steiner to my "limited " knowledge doesn't manufacture parts but only sells them. I can say their service was outstanding and I would definitely recommend them.

[@andyrobinson339]

Me too...I have restored around 10 JD 2 cylinder tractors and have never had a mistake on my Steiner orders that was not my fault!
