Don: Not to be too picky, but the 861 designation indicates that the tractor is equipedwith the 5-speed transmission. An 801 series with the selecto-speed must be an 871 or something. I currently have an 861, but we had one with the selecto-speed on the farm when I was a kid. The transmission gave us no problems even though it recieved lots of abuse from three teenagers. Good Tractor, good luck.
: I don't really know that much about it but from what I've been told, I gather the Selectomatic was a great option so long as it was properly maintained. Problem is, most weren't properly maintained. Sounds like you may have gotten one of the ones that was.

: As far as the 861 itself is concerned, everyone I've talked says it's a great tractor.

: : I have a nice 861 Ford with Selectomatic. The tractor is great for mowing, moving snow, etc. Why am I told this tractor is not desirable? Has the selectomatic been a severe problem or just getting a bumb rap?
