Hello John in LA, Before the availablity of the 2000/4000 series Light Duty Industrials in Dec. 1960 the 820's and the 821's were generally quoted in the Ford literautre as the light industrials . In the 100 series most 820's were 5 speed tractors but some were 4 speed, all had no 3 point and most had no pto unless it had a Backhoe with a pto driven pump like a Sherman , Pippin or similar brand . These did not have the Heavy Duty axle support(only first design standard support available), center beam or spindles or even the heavier front wheels . A 10 inch heavy duty clutch could be ordered seperately . When the 01 series came out in 57 it was the same as the 100 series but in 1958 Ford came out with the Heavy Duty Front Axle option which was the new heavy duty axle support(second design of support), heavy duty axle center beam, and the heavy duty spindles with the larger diameter lower bushing and bearing where they break most often, the 10 inch heavy duty clutch was also included in this package as was the wider front wheels . In 1959 the 811 tractors(with or without pto) with an S.O.S. were added to the lineup . This option was still available after the 2000/4000 tractors(fixed width axle with the heaviest and 3rd design support built, and very few 811's or 821's were built after the 2000/4000 Industrials) came out and continued until 1965. In July of 1964 this option was $58.00(with 6.50x16 multi rib tires) more on a 2000 All Purpose and $79.00(with 7.50x16 multi rib tires) more on a 4000 All Purpose tractor. A Sherman Combo ordered at the same time was $196.00, Power Steering was $159.00, Lights were $29.00, and a Swinging Drawbar was $22.00. A 4000 A.P. gas 4 speed tractor was $2,864.00 and a 4000 A.P. gas S.O.S. was $3,303.00. Thanks Tony [Reply]   [Send Email]
