    Hello, sir. Very nice descriptive video! I’m gonna be a bit picky, though. The front emblem is wrong. That would be on a Jubilee or NAA from the years 1953-1954. Second, (I know you mentioned it) the decals are wrong. It should say ford 631 Workmaster. The paint job is wrong, as well. It should be all red except the fenders and wheel rims, which should be a light grey. Your lift arms are swaying over too much. You should check that out. If you have an implement, it will sway too much and it’ll be a loud bangy ride. Stabilizer bar(s) would help this, but they still shouldn’t be swaying like that naturally. To fix the tachometer all you need to do is purchase a cable and attach it to the gauge and the other end to the hydraulic pump (I believe it screws on.) Just an FYI, the original headlights would be a halogen type, with sphere-like light housings. Next time you change the oil, I recommend using Napa Gold or other high-quality filters unlike FRAM. If you’ve seen the RUclips videos on it, you’ll know they’re bad. Once again, I’m being very picky, but that’s a great tractor for small homesteads. Great find!

    Loved your video! Yes, the workmaster is the 601 series and the powermaster is the 801 series. I have the owners manual that covers the 801 and 601 series. It says the 641 is a 4 speed, has the proof meter, hydraulic system, 3 point linkage, 540 RPM power take off, lights, and swinging draw bar. This was standard equipment. Fuel tank; 13 gallons. Cooling system; 15 quarts. Crankcase; 5 quarts. Transmission; 6 quarts. Hydraulic reservoir; 8 quarts. Rear axle; 8 quarts. Engine size for 601; 134 cu. inches. Doesn’t give the horse power.
    I have an 841-D which is a 1962 powermaster diesel. It looks very similar to yours. I’ve had it about 2 months and have put about 14 hours on it. I had to replace the starter motor, but it was surprisingly easy and cheap to do it myself, $104. delivered. I need to get a seat like yours as the original seat is very too comfortable and feels like I could fall off easily. At 75, that’s not something I want to do. It seemed kind of hard to drive but after a couple hours I got used to it. My 91 year old neighbor across the street drives a 1953 For 8N he bought when it was only a couple years old. He mows a couple acres. It made me decide to look at the old tractors because if he can do it, I should be able to, lol. I really like mine now, but at the beginning I thought what have I done buying this old tractor, even though it looks almost new. I’ve always loved old cars, and now I love old tractors, lol. I have 22 acres, but was always a city boy my whole life until 2 years ago.

      Thank you for the nice reply sir. I love the older stuff as well , especially for the reasonable initial cost, and the availability of parts for these. Tim

    Doesn't that one have the live pto with the 2 position clutch? Shouldn't need the over run clutch.

      Good morning. Found them on Amazon. Search for round LED pod lights and something should come up for you. I put another yellow set of those on my old International 140 tractor as well, on 1 of my other videos. Good luck with your search, and thanks for the reply......Tim

      It is a 631 sir. It's stamped on the plate and it was an available option on it.
