I recently purchased a ford 1700 with a 5' rotary to cut my 4 acres. After reading many great posts on changing things on the 1700 and studying the pictures (thanks JC) My question is what should i be absolutely replacing/changing right now before i start its use on my property. Its got about 1450 hours on it and mechanically it seems sound, Unk on its last maintenance or how often it was done. It has a wiring issue that im not sure if i should mess with now or not since it was running and starting fine when i brought it home. Right now im changing all the fluids/filters, cleaning the trans/hyd screen, flushing the radiator, changing the upper and lower hoses, belt (thanks to the advance auto skus) etc. Anything that im missing that i should do while ive still got it in the garage? $ is limited as ive got a new member to the family but want to make sure that when i do take this out back its not going to die out there. Thanks for any help.
