The tractor is in good condition, it's 2 WD, has a 2 cyl Jap diesel, not sure the make or HP, it has big turf tires, just needs a battery.
What should I know about this machine? not familiar with fords, is it a sellable tractor? should be worth $2,000. shouldn't it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks |
If it only needs battery, it is good shape and accurate hour meter, then It is a great bargain. Look it it up in the tractorhouse website below... you can not find a beat up 1700 for that price.

My local Ford was trying to sell a
4wd with lots of hours and locked up engine for 3k. LOL. I bought mine for $3100 with 900 hrs and in a good shape. It is a great little tractor and parts so far were readily available and not too expensive. I ended up going thru the whole hydraulic system including, New
hyd fluid, new lift piston seal, new
hyd pump overhaul kit, bunch or o-rings and gaskets, engine oil and filter and few other misc. parts for about $200 total.. How could you beat that?
You have got yourself a deal if the tractor does not have a major issue hidden somewhere. post a picture of it if you can. I think the price is a bit suspect.. make sure the tractor is not lame.
