Their should be a model number with the serial number below it. May have to scrape paint off a little to see it. It is a 800 series, but that doesn't tell these guys what model it is. It is possibly a 860 with a two stage clutch, with problems with the one of the stages, but these guys on this site will need that info to help you.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Does it have a 4 speed trans with transmission driven PTO and single stage clutch- 840? -or- Does it have a 5 speed trans with transmission driven PTO and single stage clutch- 850? -or- Does it have a 5 speed trans with Live PTO and dual stage clutch- 860?   [Reply]   [No Email]

If the clutch is soft and the tractor won't move then I say you're looking at a clutch replacement which means you will have to split the tractor between the engine and transmission. Jim.UT replaced the clutch in his 850 a year or so ago and he took many pictures of the job. Maybe he still has them and he can provide you with a link to them.   [Reply]   [No Email]
