I recently bought a 1983 Ford 1510 tractor (my first tractor). While doing a search on the internet I find that there was a Service Bulletin concerning an issue with connecting rods within a certain serial number range on the 1983 models. Mine falls in the year and serial number range of the bulletin. I am curious if there was any way to tell if this tractor has been repaired. Does Ford / New Holland have records that can be searched to determine if indeed it has been serviced under the bulletin. The tractor seems to run fine, but was wanting to find this out to maybe prevent a time bomb type of thing. If a rod was to break then of course it would be more costly to repair. Any thoughts?
Looking for other owners of the 1510 tractor that can share some photos of their tractor with me. I am trying to figure out how the Hydraulic Manifold mounts. The block located in front of the right step plate. Mine is just hanging there being supported buy the hydraulic lines. Would be nice to see a picture of one mounted and / or the bracket .
Also would like to see some close up photos of the ROPS assembly and the way it mounts.
I am also in need of a Owners manual to assist in locating the service points and fluid drainage locations and capacities. Does anyone have one in PDF fomat?
Is a 5 foot box blade suitable for this tractor? Considering a Countyline brand form Tractor Supply.
Thanks in advance
Mike
