The 801 Workmaster was a later, bigger model than an 8N, and it was available with a factory diesel. The early "N" series of tractors were built according to Henry Ford's idea of one model being good enough for everyone.....and it worked for a model T, but by the time the early to mid fifties came around farmers were clamoring for options...

So Ford revamped the lineup with the three digit series. For the first time, Ford offered a selection of tractors, rather than just one.

Now that I think about it, I believe the 8-900 series were called Powermasters, while the 5-6-700 series were Workmasters.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
