    Ford 1920 will not go into gear

    14 mm was what fit the bolt head and lock nut but the access holes are too small and not lined up with the bolt heads nor the lock nuts. I have given up on attempting to adjust the bolts in that I was unable to loosen them even though I managed to get a wrench onto the bolt head. If the...

    Ford 1710 Rear Remote Valve

    Looks good. Appears there would only be about 3 inches of clearance below your plate to the top of the brake housing on both my 1720 and 1920. Here are two files of an exploded dwg of the OEM valve showing the fittings, etc. and a parts listing. Maybe you already have this info.

    Who Makes a Trouble-Free 60" Diesel Zero-Turn?

    Not only John Deere. Needed a glow plug for a Ford 1900 tractor. Went to the dealership and they wanted $40. Kid at the parts counter said it would be cheaper at a parts store. Parts store had one for me the next day for $6.50 and it was same brand as dealer's.

It may be hard to justify the approx $100 cost for a HV4945 plate. Probably would be wise to...

    Ford 1710 Rear Remote Valve

    How is the design etc. coming for the 1720 rear remote adapter plate? Have been investigating rear remotes for my ford 1720 and new holland 1920. Talked to a tractor dismantler in Penn who has several ford 1720s 1920s 2120s etc. They said the OEM valves for all 3 models were the same except...
