Ford 841

Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The Ford 841 is part of the 801 Powermaster Series, built from 1957 to 1961, suggesting its utility in a range of farming tasks. Respected for its durability and versatility, the 841 is considered an asset for small to medium farming operations. In contrast to its 4x4 counterparts, this model sports a 4x2 chassis configuration indicating two-wheel drive simplicity suitable for general use rather than specialized or heavy-duty tasks. It possesses a manual steering and transmission system, which, while lacking in specific gear data, promises a classic and mechanical farming experience. The Ford 841 is equipped with a liquid-cooled gasoline engine rated at 62 horsepower, powerful for its era. The induction is naturally aspirated with the engine running on a four-cylinder setup, typical of many utility tractors of the time. With a Category 3 rear hitch, the 841 is capable of handling a variety of implements suitable for this category, from plows to mowers. For the operator, the 841 features an open station type, a common design that allows for a broad field of vision and ease of access. The specific details on the tractor's PTO, brakes, tires, dimensions, and hydraulics remain unspecified and would likely vary based on modifications and configurations available at the time or adaptions made by owners throughout the tractor's life.
