Well the 641 and 2000 are right at the same horse power at 31HP and the 841 is a little bigger at 44HP. Nether the 641 or 841 will have live PTO and the 2000 might depending on the tranny. All of them are good tractors but depending on what your cutting etc the bigger 841 might be better then the smaller 641 or 2000. A lot depends on what your doing and how much of it your doing

Thanks. I can buy a fully restored 1958 641 for $4,800.00 or a fully restored 1970 3 cylinder 2000 for $5,800.00. This will be my first tractor, so any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I'd be looking at the 3cyl 2000.. check tranny options.. and check if it was a 'dupont' restoration.. or if they really did some repair and parts replacement.

SKF,
If there's one thing I've learned by reading these forums for the past few years it's that "Restored" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. It means anything from pressure washing a greasy tractor and spraying it with a dozen cans of spray paint or it might mean that the owner meticulously took it all apart and made every effort to make the tractor and all it's internal componants NEW.

That said, if it were me I would go for the 2000 before the 641. I have two of those 3 cyl tractors and think they are the best machines Ford ever built. Tha price isn't too bad if the tractor isn't too high of hours, has power steering, good to excellent tires, the 8 speed tranny with Live PTO and maybe is a diesel.
If it doesn't have those features I would still take the 2000 over the 641 but I'd try very hard to get him to come down $1000 or so.
For a first (or last)tractor it would be an excellent choice.
Jerry

As I said below, live pto would be more important to me than pretty paint - which is often all that 'fully restored' means.

Your prices are in the middle of the road there - can't believe there was much mechanial repairs done to 'fully restore' them? You can spend a little less & fix up the known problems of a working, unrestored tractor & have a good machine; or you can spend about double to get something that really is mechanically restored. I guess I'm kinda skeptical of something at that price being anything other that repainted to cover up the problems.... ;) Would be ok price for an average working tractor, but if the seller is pushing 'fully restored' then I get real nervious on what the game is - feel they bought a lemon cheap, threw paint at it, & pawn it off on folks.....

Just me perhaps.
