My brothers neighbor has a ford 1710 with 770fel in a barn. It has a 3 cyl japanese engine (NIKI?) with 480 hrs(diesel) and has a standard trans. The tractor still has the original battery. He paid 8,000 5 years ago. The owner has no additional info and my brother has heard this style/year of tractor has had engine problems? He said this is what he heard and I have know basis to believe this. The tractor supposedly ran fine last year. He has used this tractor to pull a 5' blade and run a 5' bush hog

My questions are:
1. What horse is this?
2. What track history have any of you heard or experienced?
3. What would be a good price?

I appreciate any and all comments!!!!
