I found a front end loader for an 8n Ford. Will it fit my 850 Ford?
Thanks!

Depending on the loader model I'd be leary as to using it for any heavy duty lifting or digging. The 8-n is a bit lighter then the newer tractor and didn't have as much oil capacity unless it is a front pump system. ....

With almost all 'antique' tractors the problem is the front axle, these machines were not designed with a FEL in place and so they were not built as ruggedly as you would want with the extra loads created by the FEL.
Making it fit & work is not impossible, with a little re-configuring it will work, but again, the front axle will be an issue.
If you want to keep the 'original' appearance of the tractor you might want to look into a rear loader instead.
Best of luck. ....
