Ford 1700 and Ford 1710 parts machines - now what?

Sorry, never saw the reply to this old thread until just now. The old girls were sold quite quickly to eager buyers. Good luck in your parts search. I've found the xx10 series Fords to be difficult to find.

How/where did you end up selling? Whole units as is, part by part as is, or cleaned-up parts? Craig's list or other? I may be in same situation soon with similar. Thanks.

Ended up selling each tractor with its loader. Sold locally on craigslist. Got tons of calls from all over the region. I'm sure I could have made more by parting them out, but I didn't want to spend the time and end up with unused parts at the end. When selling anything, I recommend many pictures and a good, honest description. The guy who bought the 1710 got it running despite the fact that the engine was under an oak tree under leaves when I bought it. Good luck.
