well Gents, i was not sure about aluminum in the casting. Ya'll know that I have Ford1700 and always thought my rear housing is cast steel/Iron. I did walk to the barn and put a magnet to my rear axle. It sure sticks real good. Now, I wondered what should 1210 any different.

Aha, I thought t was Cast Steel, did you do the magnet test? it does not appear to be structural which is good. Atleast you have plan B , but I think you will be fine with welding one plate or just externally patching the hole.

Welding is good choice but yet I will cover the hole like I said in the earlier post to seal the hole and then get a thick peice of rectangular ductile iron plate and cover the whole area and passed 1" in all directions and weld it up. My choice is MIG but might need to heat the area and clean...

Sorry to see this. Glad tha ypu dpn't have the vertical crack. it for use has some effect on structural integrity of the housing but probably not a huge one as it is hole in the middle where the casting in thinnest. If it were my rig, I would look for used replacement axle that would be easy or...

Lift pumps are used when the gravity supply to the inlet of injector pump is not achieved. Do you have a suction pick up tube in your tank? of this was commercially done on fuel tank system (I.e , engine generator and such ) then there would be a suction check valve at the pick up line to avoid...

Not clear with your question, "bored" to me means a hole drilled or machined to a piece of metal. The PTO shaft has splined. No hole is bored at the end or across. it is machined that an spring loaded button keeps the implement pto shaft from sliding out. I think simplest way to extend would be...

Yes, I was saying if voltage is cut off for host of different reasons then it shuts off the solenid valve due to spring action. The open in theh circuit can happen when the solenoid gets hot also. Again, my link was a suggestion so you would know what the solenoid looks like. Banging on it is...

I think your 1920 has engine shut off solenoid. Does the engine shuts off right away when you turn the ignition key to off position? that solenoid is normally closed by action of spring internally. 12 volts with the key in on position activates the solenoid for the fuel to be pumped from...

I also down loaded your fuel tank and other component parts.

Inlet fitting can never be on top of a tank unless it has a submersible type pump. That happens in a car fuel tank.Fuel pump is high pressure and sits in the tank and pumps all the way to the injectors. On old carburated type engine the the fuel pump ran off of crankshaft or internal engine...

Thanks, I got a full detail archive of all my rigs and just and about anything I have done to them.

Those line are unused fuel from the fuel injector. it is not gravity and has a slight positive fresh back to the tank. Those rubber lines can't hold much pressure at all.Your fuel tank is atmospheric. You do not have a pump in the tank if that's what you are asking. start from injector and you...

Solenoid valves on tractor and automotive usually are 12 volts and can easily be activated by a small 12 volt battery or borrwing12 volts somewhere from the tractor. Solenoids are normally open and close. If they operate then they will click and you hear a plunger move against a small spring...

Yes , Of course. That is what I meant.I have to re-check. There is nothing you can add to the tank to solve all the built up to nothing. Chemical make the crap to coalesce in to a mass to be cleaned up and also loosen up stuff to be scraped off. what I suggested by vacuuming is the simplest and...

It is pretty strange. I don't think you have issue with filter per se. Why don't you get small container to collect fuel, shut the fuel valve off, remove the hose on the discharge of of the bowl and invert the hose in the container. Then open the valve to see if you get a good and steady fuel...

You realize this thread is a bit stale since 2016 but info given is yet valid. You have done all the right things. Next , you need to removes all the buit up in the radiator fins from both side as much as you can. I would use a plastic bristle brush and brush the surface in direction of the fins...

Nice, good to hear ..... as the one of my very old dear colleague used to tell me, Patience Grasshopper !! whipper snapper you!! :)

Ok. On the inlet to the filter you do have a shut off valve. Once you shut it off you have a very lil diesel in the line. Remember you will have to bleed the air out any way. I the remote chance you do not have the shut off valve then you can pinch it with a lil vise grip. I out a cardboard...

Can you snap a photo to show the problems you have with fitment? is it possible to remove the fuel hoses from top fixture of sediment bowl? if so , may be you can put it together away from tractor and mount it on as one assembly along with hooking up the fuel lines.

Good , hopefully it is a permanent fix.

I think the reason is to have a filter that does not easily plug up and have a long life. The filter bowl is also called "sediment bowl". It lets sand or other heavier particle tend to swirl around and settle to the bottom so the higher portion of the verticallyplaced filter is less prone to...

If head gasket is damaged due to overheating, allowing coolant to get in to combustion chamber then white smoke is tell tale sign. Check to see if you see evidence of coolant in oil or droplets of oil in the coolant by removing the cap off and inspect. make sure tractor is off and cold.

looks real good. It would be hard to realize the natue of the damage looking at the pic. you basically encapsulated it real well and still can change the light bulbs too.

Funny you said that as in mine when I tried to change the filter noticed a rubber o-ring on the bottom of the bowl to raise the filter a bit higher to have top sealed against the o-ring I showed on my picture. I used a stainless steel spring from a pop-up sprinkler head. The dia of the spring i...

Spring on the bottom actually pushes up the filter and seals against the top filter assembly body. The purpose is that there is no filter by pass from inlet to outlet. The inner inlet of the filter needs to be tight against the black o-ring.

exactly, below some info I cataloged for my rig many years ago, Let's say Kansas is 800 feet above sea level with atmospheric pressure of 14.1 rather than 14.7 psia At sea level and 14.7 psi atmospheric water boils at 212 deg F 7 psi radiator cap=14.1+7= 21.1 and water boils at temp of...

Looks great. where did you get the axle? seems new oem, right?

In the past I have used a piece of HF welding apron (Suede Leather) and cut two disks , punched a hole in the middle and used it as a friction washer, and as Johny Cash would say, "It didn't cost me a dime",😁 It does work real good.

Totally agree with what you say. Chinese manufacture everything for anyone. what matters the specs they are given and negotiated price. They can make a wrench out of pot metal of best SS or Chrom vanadium. One might be $1 and the better one might be $10. just look at a prime example apple and...

That is perfectly correct as 9 out of 10, at least American cars I owned needed diode trio to rectify the current. it was so easy to change and as long as the bearings were good then diode costed about $3.50. I doubt it is that low price now. By the way did a quick search and O'Reilly sells it...

I have a bit of issues with Chinese made stuff but pretty much whatever you buy most likely is re-branded stuff but yet same origin. I would never buy a Chinese tractor but components I would buy. Just an example I lost a compressor for Honda Vehicle. The OEM Honda was $1500 and some change. I...

How about $105 (US)...

before anything else make sure your radiator is not plugged with derbies reducing heat transfer. I brush mine dry with nylon bristle brush. I then use leaf blower to blow the dust off from both side of radiator if you can and at the end use garden hose and high pressure spout (not pressure...

What reservoir ? perhaps your tractor hydraulics/transmission?

Actually there is a seal/diaphram in the sender unit that is exposed to oil and oil pressure. if there is a tear in the rubber could allow some oil and crap inside the sender unit. That's what happened with mine. Mine did not flicker but randomly would stay open or closed.

You're welcome and agreed. Good luck and keep us posted, very curious now.

Here ya go. Oil pressure sender unit is on the right side next to the oil dip stick. a close up. Temp sending unit is on the left side on top left corner below the oil filler cap. That's just for your future reference.

I hope that's a cure. It is a very educated guess and cheapest to tackle among other possibilities.

Yup, everything will be costly to figure out for sure. $27 might be wasted but to me that's a cheap gamble. Again, reading a pressure with external analog gauge is doable and sender can be bench tested. internal engine issue leading to low pressure requires a tear down and that is doable and...

It is pretty dang strange but there is always a reason for things. We can't always find it right away but we can eliminate possibilities one by one. Changing the oil and full up to dip stick should have not negative effect going up / down or side ways. The oil pump is gear driven and it might...

Howdy JP, The answer is yes but the light serves two distinct purposes. 1- it is a switch that is always on (making contacts against an internal spring) so when you put the key and turn on the ignition (not start position) then it verifies the electrical circuit is intact. That is a very...

Ok. I have seen clusters that were actually a back plate to mount several gauges. Have you seen the back of your cluster? those were mainly a lot older tractors and yours is a bit new in tractor world.

That's a good thing. Infra red Thermometer is what I used to measure my rig. My worry is that possibility of a hose bursting going thru vegetation and losing antifreeze and not be able to see before it is too late. I am sure cluster is expensive but for my peace of mind I would mount somewhere...

My gauge was not bad so I did not dork with it. Is your temp gauge independent or is ir part of a cluster. If I were you for sure would just some cheap automotive gauge ( they are all resistivity type) and mount it somewhere withing the sight. it would be a bad day to crack tractor head due to...

Did you test the gauge? what resistance in ohms do you get from the sender to the block. What resistance do you get when the engine is warm. Compare and contrast. You can also simply take the gauge off and put it in boiling water and then in Ice-water bath to see what resistance you read. if the...

I use the same method, if you are right above the T-post and pull straight out then it would not bend. If you pull sideways then yes It would bend the T-post usually low closer to the round. Just need to be careful to avoid bending the T-post. Having a helper works real well to avoid getting on...

Whatever work, it is a simple switch and fabbig bracket is not a big deal. There are some parts that are interchangeable. I was able to modify, fabbed new bracket and install a kubota L-175 steering column in my busted one. Transplant still works and my Ford 1700 has not rejected it yet:)

https://kansascity.craigslist.org/grd/d/leeton-parting-out-ford-1700-tractor/7500779053.html Might contact folks above to see if they can help you.

it is $99 from NH website and they have it available. https://www.mycnhistore.com/us/en/newhollandag/category/electrical/switches/switches/switch/p/SBA385200340 $85 below https://spare.avspart.com/spare/new.holland/sba385200340/ Messicks got it fro the same price as NH. Now , if it were...

Those are the pics I shared many moons ago on my 1700. On mine clutch safety is external. Detent balls are larger the hole from top hence you cannot pick them up by magnets. you will need to take the cover off. If you are careful you can take it off without damaging the gasket below. Pics below...

I did not make a thread about it but did have bunch information but it is all scattered. I will add it here with pics , it is pretty self explanatory; Pic above shows the whole pump. You see two Philips head screws of the same size. The bottom is oil drain and top one is level hole, meaning as...

Yes, I know I had some thread or post many years ago and went over it. I will search to see if I can find to send a link. if I am not able to find I can go over it easy with pics here. it is pretty simple procedure.

Success at last eh! put it in your bucket list to change or at least inspect the injector pump oil. it does a lot of good for 2 oz of oil.

Flip side of is also very true, good maintenance, upkeep and this lil Diesel engines do ast a long time. I still have around %90 of clutch plate thickness left on my F-1700 and my rig is 43 years old. what I always tell my boys, watch the oil and temp and you'll be much better off. I have...

So I believe I'm catching on; (thanks guys!). In my pic here, am I correct that the entirety of the device shown is the INJECTOR and the red arrows are pointing to the "back plate" Yes, that is correct. that, if removed, I'd see/expose the governor? Yes You need to change the oil in your...

for sure and the key is right at the injector and long enough to get all the air out. Now here with 1700, you got only two injectors to deal with.

it is passed my bed time but watching Barcelona-Real Madrid Now. but, quickly here, Governor is internal to the injector, you cannot see it from outside. if you take the back plat eof the injector then you can see if.it is directly attache to a can shaft that rotates. the lobes on the cam shaft...

have you ever changed oil in the injector pump. If governor centrifugal weight is binding it would not allow engine to rev up. We have several thread that I have pics and description of injector oil replacement. injector pump takes only 2 oz of oil ,same as the crankcase ford 134, it has a drain...

On 1700 cleanable screen is for hydraulic only and it does not have any pressure gauge or idiot light. Spin on filter is for the engine oil and obviously crankcase oil and hydraulic oil are totally separate. The issue with OP and his problem is with crankcase oil. All the posters accurately...

TC30 does have a fuel shut off solenoid. Check the voltage to it and report.There is an electrical connection to the solenoid. That shuts the flow to fuel pump. Diesel does not have ignition so in order to kill the engine you would need to shut the fuel flow off. I am assuming that you would...

several things could cause it. 1- Your oil sender unit is defective or close being defective. Sender is a normally closed switch by action of an internal spring. Upon start up, it maintains a closed circuit hence oil light pressure illuminating. As soon as pump start pumping oil, then the oil...

Jay, Does your tach work? How high can you raise your rpm if it works. I hardly ever need to go over 2100 rpm for all my brush hogging even tilling. At 2450 engine RPm you are getting 540 pto rpm.

Jay, Make sure fuel cap is venting. it does have a hole on the bottom of the cap that let the tank breath. You can remove the hose from tank in to your filter assembly with the valve closed. Get a cup under the fuel line and open the valve. You should have a steady flow. if you don't then you...

Most fuel caps are vented that I have seen. Loosen the cap a bit to allow air in. Secure a portion of cap with a duct tape so you would not lose the cap. The purpose is to allow the tank to be atmospherically vented. See if that makes a difference.

Nice, glad she is up and running!

What are you using ( Voltage source) to jump, using the jumper cable? another battery, car or truck? You can put a ground a bit closer to the starter if you have some good bare metal. Not all jumper cables are equal based on the wire gauge, lengths and type of grippers on the end. With battery...

I start with battery and bad ground like the other gents mentioned. Normal needle on temp gauge should be on max high. As soon the key is put in pre-heat or ignition then then needle goes all the way to cold. That is the indication of part of the circuit is okay. The oil pressure light should...

sounds good. I hope you can find right axle without it breaking the back. Good luck.

Michael, Winch is a great idea. I do have a 12 volt , one tone HF winch that I use ti lift the deer up my home made boom pole. You might want to do it today as they have %20 coupon for today. I will attache it to this posting. you might consider a beefier one if the price is good. PS. Even...

So sorry to see this Michael, I think this is an stress crack that was brewing for a long time till it manifested itself like this. Not having under-mount (sub-mount) support for the loader to tie the front axle back to the rear axle could be a contributor with major culprit being 3 point...

What parts are you looking for? it is difficult to check compatibility without much research and taking some chance.

I have changed my manual steering column due to broken internal piece. Sourcing NH would have been exceedingly expensive over $1000. I ended up matching up a kubota L-175 knock off from india, brand new for $200 and some change. Had to fab support bracket but bolt hole pattern matched. I had it...

Most likely it might be fuel restriction. I would get a cup, shut of the fuel valve on the tank, take the rubber fuel hose to filter, point end of the hose in the cup and open the valve. See if you get a nice and steady stream. if good then I would concentrate with fuel filter bowl and it's...

Howdy, I hope you realized that this thread is 12 years stale. Our dear Jinman is no longer with us but his advise will always stay fresh and good. I have had both NH-134 and also equal to it from TSC and had no issue with my rig in the last 18 years. TSC brand that they had in the past was...

I guess your question is answered by other gentlemen. You need to have your transmission in low range and not floor the HST pedal. With gear transmission you would select a lower gear and range and push the accelerator to maintain speed selected without stalling out. Even with gear transmission...

Do You have Hydro-static transmission or geared driven transmission? if geared , it might be clutch friction disk or release fork is riding on pressure plate fingers causing clutch disk slippage.

That drain hole is also called a weep hole. It is a good thing to have. I think your issue was the rain, specially being on a trailer and driving at higher speed that the tractor drives. I would just keep and eye on it, put cardboard under the tractor and watch new drippage if any. Turning...

did you check the radiator, upper and lower hoses? Brown and bit reddish suggest rust and rust happens where there is moisture and metal to oxidize. Rain water can seep in the starter if the rig is kept outside and it could bring some of buildup dirt and rust from the the inside the rotor...

I am sure someone can do it and you need to take the tractor and in your case the panel itself to them. if you do, I don't believe they will particularly do anything else much different that what I proposed. You also need to consider the rest of the pane that is "not chewed up" is not peel-able...

I think you would split the difference equally to both ends of cut shaft. let's say implement is higher or lower due to terrain or tractor pto shaft elevation higher or lower due to the same. Remember is the shaft is not cut short enough and you have a heavy implment like a tiller and if you...

I think the foam is just to protect electrical board from shorting out as the solder joint are exposed. I don't think there is any maintenance access required to the back of the board. I think, I would just clean out all the loose stuff, and smear a thin layer of 100% silicon that would stay...

any pics? was the existing foam permanently affixed or need access behind the foam. What panel? any pics. if it is just to fill a void and no further access needed thane expanding foam in a can can fill the void, it can be somewhat troweled to approximate geometry needed.

Have not done that particular job, If I were to do it on my ford 1700 then I would back it up the "gorilla ramp" I have that I use to change oil, I leave the tractor in gear, emergency brake engaged and chock both front wheels and then start the work on removing PTO final shaft retaining ...

The OP is MIA for now. Hope he chimes in with a bit more info so we all can help him. I love my MX foor all the reasons you said, and having naturally aspirated was one thing that I wanted. Yup, electrical /mechanical all very simple and CATII 3 point lift is great, just wished it had the...

You could certainly could drive a semi through it. Op needs to elaborate a bit more so we can be more helpful. By the way, how do you like your MX-4700? not a whole bunch of it around in comparison to 5100.

There is a rate of drop of 3-point knob , usually in front of the operator with rabbit and turtle marked on. If it is all way shut in the direction of turtle then the 3 point would not go down.

I don't believe extra oil can help in any appreciable way. As long as the pump inlet is flooded, by 1 inch or 5 inch makes no difference because pump flow is the same and should be able to run without cavitation (sucking air and oil at the same time). Now if you pump faster than what is returned...

Yes , I do have all pictures from all the work I have done and they are readily available as I need them. That is not just tractor stuff, any project I have done, at work or otherwise is also cataloged and backed up also.

Below is what you will find out. you cannot see the inside of diffy from there.

If you are talking the top differential case where the seat is then on this model you do not need to do that for inspection of the seal of lift piston or rock shaft. They can be done from the front taking off the lift cylinder head. Tapered surface (conical in my case) mates with the seat to...

It is just odd, if it sucked air externally from the strainer housing where it connect to the banjo , then it shoud also seep out some when the tractor is off. Like i said it on my old thread, my pump selas and backer looked good then but my problem eneded being shaft seal. The thing is if it...

Good pictures. I did go to NH website and looked at parts breakdown for the relief device. It is exactly the same as the picture you have. Mine was pre-1979 and is adjustable as the pics show. Yours use shims to add pressure by increasing the spring stiffness. what is a bit curious is the groove...

There is a check ball and spring(check valve, on way flow) in the lift piston head. That would trap oil back in the lift cylinder. The only way 3 point arms drops is either check valve is not holding, lift piston seal is leaking or installed incorrectly or if lift spool valve is leaking...

Ok. Sounds good. When I talked about discharge pipe , by no means I was talking about a leak at all. That discharge pipe goes to a pressure regulator. Pumps makes pressure there against a spring. It does have a by-pass to tank or diffy in form of a pressure pop-off . if for whatever reason the...

I am glad you bought your place then. I was in one of my in-law's place where you could sneeze and wake up the neighbors and they bought their place close to 1 million in Irvine. That is just way too confining for me. I can't even fit my tool boxes in his garage.. forget about tractor and stuff...

Howdy, Yup, Cali was good, Plenty of sun and traffic. Hard to afford real estate, yikes. I would not use any stop leak in any form or fashion as it will end up doing more harm than anything good. Let's figure out why you are not getting pressure first. 1- curious , how you can raise your...

I just visited my old post again. At that time, i used a picture posting website that was free. They changed their policies and asking for $$. My account got cancelled and all the pics were lost at the hosting site. I do however have all the pics and can re-post as needed. Just let me know what...

Howdy, I am out of town and don't have good access to my stuff. You have done all things right and in right order. It might be your pump or shaft seal. Pump can be taken off non-destructively for inspection. You might have internal blockage or something else wrong with pump. if the gears and...

I purposely devised perhaps a slicker way. I call it operation "VacuSuck"😁 tool. it does real well to clean diesel fuel tank or empty out oil in in 4 wheeler rear drive as I can not break drain plug from the bottom without striping the threads. Pics are self explanatory. Shop Vac stays clean...

Nice ,Like I suspected. probbaly you are good for another 10-15 years. I only did it once in 15 years.

Ok. That's good. I would turn off the fuel valve, remove the short hose at the filter bowl assembly, get a small jar under the end of rubber hose and open the fuel valve. See if you get good steady stream of fuel. On my 1700, I was low on fuel, the inlet in the tank sits 1/8 higher than the tank...

Your fuel tank s atmospherically vented. It might be as simple as fuel cap air relief passage is plugged. Simply try to keep the fuel cap a bit lose to allow air in so fuel tank would be vented and injector pump is not fighting against the vacuum. just use a piece of duct tape to make sure not...

Good, Just messaged you on what you asked.

Do you still have the problem? for me, my 1700 is always barned but even in real cold weather the key for me is to run glow plug at least between 20-25 second and then have a strong battery. The strong start is a huge factor in initial combustion before you get bunch of un-burned fuel in the...

Yup, as easy as "cream pie" to be exact.😁 Ford 1000 series just need a bit of TLC and give it all back with robust work.

yes , absolutely. it is not difficult. Just for abundance of caution, do take the negative post off of the battery and set it aside wrapped with a shop rag. The nut you see on the alt is the one for adjustment and tightening. There should be another on the opposite side attached to the block...

Good , as you know how you tighten the belt then reversing the procedure is loosening the belt. Loosen it enough where you can take the old belt off of Alt pulley and the crankshaft pulley and the water pump. You will have to go around the fan and shroud to take off and or put the new belt on...

Any pics? on my 1700 nothing needs to be removed. You just loosen a nut that holds the alternator tight to support bracket and then there is a pivot bolt that you have to loosen. Once they are loose you can move the alternator in respect to pivot point till the belt is loose. Remove and replace...

If it all fails to source OEM like ,then I would look at the , circuting of the header, copper pipe dia, inlet /outlet dia, # of rows, fin spacing and area of the oem radiator and then try to source anything that resemble the specs. As far as mounting one can always rig up some metal support...

Anything that can remind you of your grandpa or grandma is priceless. I am in the same boat and cherish the memory of my gransdparents as long as I am alive.

Yup, actually 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300 and 1500 are all 2 cylinder engine. I love my 1700,it just sips diesel and it is so simple to work on. it is my go to tractor unless I need loader work, picking up hay bails and heavy duty stuff like that.

1700 is actually 2 cylinder engine tractor. Not a Johnny popper, just wondered if they had a name for Ford/Shibaura 2 cylinder engine!

Agreed. Did the same a few months ago. While changing the filter the bowl just developed a hairline crack as it was the original 40 yr old oem bowl and started leaking. Below is the link for what I bought. Why bleed it twice and have a chance of screwing up the injector nut...

So basically what you are saying is that it should crank much faster, right? The video was with 3 good batteries hooked up. The battery I have is a semi truck cranking battery, i think its a 27. When the battery was new, it still cranked just about as fast. Sure, the battery had a lot more...

First of all make sure don't use any Clorox in any form or fashion as a remedy,😃 1- See if you get voltage to glow plug. See if glow plug is open by getting resistance of against the block. it should read about 1.5 ohm and not infinity. Does the glow plug indicator glows red? 2- May be but...

That is very true, so that's why in the first place we need to be careful not allow air in the system. I say that but I am guilty of it too. I was mowing the ditch in fron it of my property , my diesel was about less than 1/4 of tank full and I insisted to finish the job before I returned to the...

Brian, When it gets super cold here I go between 20 to 25 second and make sure the glow plug indicator (resistance wire) glows red nice and bright before I started. Last week I had a bit of issue starting as my battery was near the self destruct date (3 yr battery and god forbid if it should...

Did you bleed air out of the both injector? black smoke might be indication of flooding diesel in the combustion chamber due to lack of atomization of fuel coming out of injector. white smoke can be indication of antifreeze being sucked in from a busted head gasket in to combustion chamber. Your...

1700 has oil bath filter and really hard for it to get plugged up.

Brian, So it does crank? There is an small inspection hand hole on the right side of the clutch housing so if you remove the rubber cover , shine a light inside and have someone crank you should see flywheel turning. This is just to verify that starter is good. When you bled the air out of the...

Make sure yu can good contact at the glow plugs. Take the metal bar that connect both glow plugs, use a sand paper to clean all contacts. Make sure you have good voltage there. Your glow plugs might be duds. It is difficult to see if it warms up without removing a glow plugs. I would go beyond...

Few more pics. This is inside of a 40+ yr old tractor. Gears looks almost brand new. i did not need to do beyond removal of cover and work beyond that might need a split.

I do not think tractor split is needed but transmission cover can be removed non-destructively to expose detent balls and spring. It was the case for my 1700. JC,

I have added a few diagrams to a thread on top of the NH forum page. Should have posted here. Please refer to below link. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/ford-1715-stuck-in-gear.252044/

Attached you can find mechanical illustration of front and rear transmission case for your rig. it is a bit different from 1700 with range selector and gear selector arm. There is detent balls that keep the shifter rod in place. someting is jammed between the detent ball and spring. Might be a...

The cure is the same. Checking it is non-destructive and can only help. Take a few pics of the shifter area to see if your rig (1715) is the same or not. Tomorrow I can go to NH website and look at the 1715 shifter and transmission diagram to see where the detent ball is and will advise. PS...

If pump is overhauled and seal changed correctly and you continue having damaged seal then for sure you need to look at you Pressure relief setting, it might be set too high. it appears your pump is either dead heading or trying to maintain more pressure than it rated PSI. not familiar with your...

Wow , nice . This a deluxe one. Very difficult to do A/C but heat shuld be easy. Even without a heat is an improvement.

Perhaps one more thing to look at as far as longevity of the rear axle and the 3 point. Most of the 40ish HP tractor come with cat-1 3 point and a an axle matching that. My MX-4700 comes with cat-2, 3 point and a lot beefier axle in comparison to a mid 40ish kubota (L series) with cat-1 and not...

I can easily pick up a 5x6 with a proper ballast. My need is very occasional. I pick bale up with a 2 in 1 pallet fork that has bale spear that I can take off and put back on very easily. Like others say I do it nice and slow and during transport I keep the bale as low as I can. On road I can...

I think that OEM mechanical hr meter is calibrated to register 1 hr @ rated 450 PTO rpm. I hardly ever run my rig at 450 pto rpm or 2400 engine rpm unless I need it, so it will take me more seat time than one hr for the hr meter to reflect 1 hr. While in college I had an issue with my...

Partially synchronized at least in my kubota means 3rd and 4th are fully synchronized meaning shifting on fly at any range, turtle or rabbit. My 1st and second gear at any range is non-synchronized, meaning full stop and then shift gear clutching first. Partial synchronized does not mean "...

Oil and temp to watch and the rest is basic consumable. My 1700 has 1300 hrs in 40 yrs so it is not worked too much. Saying that, you can screw an engine in 1/2 hr brand new. Avoiding oil loss and not overheating is the key along with hyd oil maintenance for a long life. I have seen a 1700 with...

I personally think one should never grab the pto shaft after tractor is turned off and pto is still spinning and more so when the tractor is on with pto off. I perhaps use a long 2x4 and touch the pto from the side if I want to experiment. I hook implement on with tractor off always, many folks...

Nice , slow soft heat is the best for this application. Glad it worked out.

Nice. I like your adaptation of the wrench just to fit your application. Even superman would not be able to see that rubber disc without a bit of dissection, good work. I have also in the past made unique tools to fit just one application for my own equipment.

just thinking out-loud here, you certainly do not want to apply direct heat to soften the plastic. I would probably wrap the joint with thick shop rag or towel well and tie is with some jute twine or something and pour some boiling water over the towel and let the hard plastic soak up some warm...

Awesome Geo, glad to hear that and she does look good. I wondered if that is 1980 or 1981 model. Noticed a bracket next to the steering rod. is that a loader bracket? She'll serve you well, great lil working mule!!:)

You are welcome. My manual is plane Jane IT-FO44. The manufacturer's WSM would be much better like I have for my kubota. There is no instruction on how to prime the pump as there is not a fitting on the suction side that you can open and fill the pump inlet and pipe. If the pump has a good oil...

My manual does not say it very clearly,but I think it must be for the 6 nuts @ 111-115 ft-lbs. The studs are screwed in tight, does not say what torque for them but once you cinch down on the nuts it keeps the studs in tension even if they are not very tight. it is difficult to grab the studs...

Good , it is like going to Dr. By the time you get there you feel fine and think what am I here anyway!

I am not familiar with you rig but overall air pressure differential sensors work on a manometer (water or electronic) principle. The sensor would have two ports( tubes). One is placed before and one after the filter. Now as the filter loads up (gets dirty and plugged up) the sensor sees...

I use all the attachment in my signature with the exception of the dirt scoop since I have a loader tractor for the last 9 years. All my implement is sized to match my Ford 1700.

Refer to post #11. I have cleand and flushed block and radiator. I have an overflow for my radiator than I can watch very easily. Tractor is always parked in the barn, so if I have a leak I know. I do have a habit of constantly keep an eye on analog temp gauge, prefer them over idiot light any...

You would think that, but at the same time many makes and models have it there for ease of access and plus where else could they put it ? on a bigger rig they might have more option. I actually other than middle of summer put a 8x8 or 12x12 piece of cardboard between the radiator and the screen...

I have had some minor issues with mine, but they were all wear and tear and age related stuff plus some very basic routine. I try to learn as much as I could to avoid overheating, engine lubrication and injector pump issues. Make sure you have 2 oz of the same engine oil in your injector pump as...

sure , yes I do, No plan to ever part with it if I have a say in it.:D Can dig up parts in the manual on how to fine tune the pump if you would like.

I have not done that particular job. Can post the timing procedure later tomorrow. The injector repair should not affect the timing. it should be timed with cam shaft and crank shaft gears on the tractor . If you put witness make on gear location against the cover and other gears on disassembly...

I didn't try to clean it out--but should have. I have done a thorough cleaning of it not long ago. I am using the recommended oil--tractor hydraulic transmission oil recommended for Ford M2C 134-A. I did try to see if there was a viscosity difference between the used oil and the new oil by...

Good deal. You are good to go for a long time now. Thanks for the heads up, it is always good to see or hear about the final result.

This is perplexing saying the least. it seems the pump is having a hard time maintaining the prime. This is either suction restriction or pump gear to case not in tolerance causing slippage (oil) with banjo removed at the screen you should have a stronger release of oil. That could be if your...

Yup, that's exactly how I do it and try to never be in a hurry with my tractor. On top of that I always use the lightest shear pin I can buy from TSC by the lbs. Much easier to change a busted shear pin than the alternative. Overall, wet clutches for engagement beats dry clutch in longevity and...

Just to add to what everyone said. My Ford 1700 does have , transmission driven PTO on Not Live with an internal overrunning clutch. The PTO can only run if tractor is in motion or if the PTO lever is engaged, gear in neutral, clutch pedal depressed and tractor turned on and once I let the...

Mr. tobacco chewer, I think you are new to this site and posting in a forum. When you quote someone then you have something to say. Did you miss that? There is a file attached to this post. That is the brake system parts breakdown for your tractor. Click on it and it will open open up the...

Let me know if you need help posting the picture or review the document I attached to my previous post.

Hello, can you post a few pics and elaborate more. I m just guessing here , but there might be an oil seal when the shaft enters rear axle housing. I will look at NH website later on. Open the attachment , #29 is the brake assembly , it does not show where the brake rod comes in to rear axle on...

Awsome, way to go and be safe!

Nice progress Jay, don't let anyone borrow your tractor so they would not be confused on manipulating the joystick or two sticks in your case. Owners manual calls for NH-134 on all including front axle. My kubota aslo uses the very same hyd oil for the front differential and final drive...

Hmm , a bit strange. Flow in case of gpm or even electrical always take path of least resitance. I think what happened was increasing the pressure caused fee back on other circuit or some intenal leak in the loader spool feeding a different circuit. I think you have to draw a flow chart and look...

Good , I think you are gaining on it. As long as it works and now you are well aware of the limitation. If 1600 psi picks up your heaviest 3 point load then there is no reason to exceed it. Remember lift piston has a relief on the piston head which is a good thing when you hit a bump or...

Ok. I see. overall you have to have the relief after the pump. Saying that if the loader valve has a relief that is set about or lower than the main relief i Think it is okay specially when that relief over pressure is routed back to the tank. Power steering require less flow so 1/4" probably...

Jay, I say guten tight would be good as far as torque. I did look at the manual I had and it did not list torque rating for the banjo.The banjos are pretty stout and can take good amount of torque. I think it will be difficult to find a torque requirement as I do not have Factory manual. What...

There is a hold down bracket with 8 fasteners. Need to take the bracket off to remove the light. installation is the reverse of the removal. That's what I did when I replace one of the bulbs. TSC doe have the exact dia light. if you lost the bracket, then it is pretty easy to make one from a...

He was such a stand up guy. I really miss him. I had a pleasure of communicating with him on several occasions during my Kubota purchase. He really liked the deal I made with local Kubota dealer to be there when they put my rig together in exchange of some Venison chili and few French bread...

Hello, Welcome to TBN Blue. You might look at the post dates of previous threads. This is an old thread, but Mr. Jinman has passed away many years ago and is not available to steer you in the right direction. It is best for you to start a new thread and explain your issue to the extent you can...

indeed. It is very important how the operator engages the clutch. Ford 1700 has a rubber inspection handhole on the side of clutch housing that one can remove for inspection. Due to shape of the pressure plate you can see the thickness of the clutch disk. My 40 yr old Ford 1700 has the original...

Yes, Now I see it. Had to go to OP's pics again. I see anytime the engine is turning, obviously the flywheel is turning along with pressure plate that is fixed to flywheel and pressure plate coupled to the outer spline. That's interesting, I kind of second guessed myself but my Kubota's flywheel...

Ok . That's good to know. I did not check with NH website. I was going based on my Kubota and the WSM for my model. I think when I ge a chance will go to NH site just out of curiosity later on. Thx.

Thanks for correction . May be it is different in NH. I have my Kubota's WSM and it corroborates with my statement. Please look at the schematic below and give me your opinion. The flywheel on my Kubota is geared and it appears to couple with inner pto shaft.

Just re-read your #10 post. I think you said it in reverse. 1- The inner shaft , smaller diameter with smaller # of gear teeth is actually your PTO drive shaft. It couples with your flywheel gear. Through a counter shaft that torque is sent to clutch pack. Clutch pack is normally not engaged...

That's good to know Rick. That is pretty much what I have used in our vehicles brake for the last 20 Years. I am almost sure , my 40 yr old Ford has asbestos as it is original oem stuff. Do you know?

Yup, awesome. I kept looking at the clutch pack and pressure plate and could not see it clearly. Noticed the spline on the friction plate matched the outer spline and not the inner. Independent pto , specially with the hydraulically activated wet clutch like you have is the best set up. My...

Excellent Pictures. I think what has happened is due to mis adjustment of free play (too far rather too close) when you clutch all the way it could not separate friction disk from surface of the flywheel and the pressure plate cleanly and as a result it kept spinning parts (flywheel and...

you might re read what I said. I said exactly what you are saying. I only said if the clutch free play is not adjusted correctly and throw out bearing is constantly riding on the pressure plate fingers then the noise is constant and that is a fact if the bearing is bad.

Unfortunately that's is most probable reason. Do yo have issue with traction? clutch disk slipping? Have you ever done clutch pedal adjustment? if the release bearing consonantly touching the finger it would wear out the beaing/fingers but the noise would be constant. if your case clutching...

Do you mean clutch release bearing? the input shaft going through transmission case does have a bearing (ball bearing ) and then an oil seal. I think your issue is with the release bearing thhat is mounted on release fork to push the clutch pressure plate in to release the friction disk from...

Great stuff, JC. Love the vacuum adaptation - I'll do just that. Forgive me, brother, but what the heck is a "diffy"? Differntial? You are welcome. yes sir, it is differential housing. Notice the hole I put on the handle of the jug. The reaso is the suction of shop vac would not suck the...

Wowsers, glad you brought this stuff up. I keep saying "Hydro" short for "Hydraulic lines" & such. I don't know if it has a hydro static transmission. How can I tell. (Never been much of a tranny guy). If you have gear shifters then you ain't got hydro transmission. My rigg is a geared but...

Good. Give us some specs on your rig. You use the term "Hydro", do yo mean hydro static transmission? My 1700 has oil filled drum air filter. My 1700 is 1979 and you have a newer one but are you sure you have paper media air filter? I would make sure my loader bucket is all the way back...

That's so funny jay, many years ago I helped out a guy about 2 hrs from KC and he was so appreciative. I told him over the weekend I am driving my son to college about 1 hr from his place. He sent me message that, he'll have a cold 6-pack ready for me if I stop by. Told him that I don't drink...

Here Ya go Jay, Wix 5152 is right filter for 1700. It will set you back just under $8 and it is a really good quality. Fram PH2825 is also compatible, for around $6 from Wally World. Not as good a quality like Wix but ain't so bad in a pinch if you change oil regularly. I do mine every 50 hrs...

he block between the old relief valve and the cover is configured so the oil can enter the 3-point control valve from one of it's ports. So oil from pump goes to the built-in relief valve on the loader valve. The oil leaves the loader valve through the new relief valve and goes to the power...

I like it on principal (y). How are you going to mount and plumb it? I wondered if you can remove the guts out of your relief device, plug the relief to the tank on the relief valve and then plumb the relief of this device to return to diffy using the square top plug on the diffy cover as...

Ok. Looks good. One thing is if the oil leaks by at the relif, and if the rate of leakage is less that the pump GPM, then some flow would be available for 3-point. At what pressure? it would be just a guess unless you measure it. It is a great idea to be situationally aware of what's going on...

I have set those movable resting places. Everything is fine with the 3-point if the lever is not put into the upper notch. Good, I lowered the upper notch just a tad , or enough when I put the lever there the relief would not chatter. It clearly identifies limit without me worrying about it...

Yup . Agreed. You must have the main relief to work to protect all. Now, you do have max 3-point height lever stop (adjustable). I have adjusted that notch bracket thing just short of highest point. You can move the max rest up and down. Have you messed with that? You can adjust the high and...

Please post the pic as I a really am interested to see. it sound goods. I use my tractor relatively hard but due to price and availability ofn part I try my best not to abuse it as I don't intend to part with it anytime soon. keep us posted.

That's good. Pump was a major headache. No , I'm good. I like challenges like this. I wonder if a salvage relief valve can be sourced. I'll check a bit. So far so good. keep us up to date. I found it. it was sold for $85. They are very proud of their parts, kind of pricey. They have whole bunch...

I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood. The seat does have a conical hole for the poppet to fit into. Ok Good. That makes sense. I think my loader connection must block that plug in the photos above. Are you looking at the clutch through that hole? Is there a release bearing grease zerk? I was...

Maybe the wallowed-out hole would allow oil to go around the seat or push it and the seat back into the spring with excessive pressure. I don't think the wallowed-out hole ever contacts the poppet. That seat has a tapered hole the fits the poppet--both of which are still in good condition. That...

I was able to cut both the power steering and the loader out of the system, and the pressure did not move off of zero and the 3-point did not move. Ok. we hold the assumption that pump is pumping and making pressure. The only route that oil has is to the relief device. Two things can happen...

https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-businesses/heavy-duty-lubricants/products/mobil-delvac-1300-super-15w-40/ I checked the oil that you used. This is clearly not hydraulic oil meeting Ford 134. Did you actually use this oil in your transmission/hyd? I hope you did not as again this is an...

yup. going back to passing that dang kidney stone eh! I think that's a good possibility after all the work our friend has done.

This afternoon, when started it seemed to work fine--maybe a little slow and jerky. But then it practially stopped working. I wanted to check the pressure and adjust the relief valve. My book has the following test. I guess I spoke too soon eh! as you know from my pics I do not have loader on...

Awsome, success at last. The OEM pump is well designed.Make sure use good oil. what I suggested works well. I have a suspicion that your screen may be not as clean. Floor of diffy really need to be vacuumed as I suggested. First time I did my hyd, i opened the bottom bolt and nothing came out...

Ok that sound good. At this point anythng gained would be a positive. my shaft seal also had a snap ring and was easy to take it. Obviously my shaft seal was bad but not sure on yours. Make sure to take some 1000 grit emery cloth and withh a bit of oil try to smooth out some of the rough...

Yup, in my line of work I always advise our techs to watch for release of stored energy, potential or kinetic and like you said with kidos around sticking their lil noses where it does not belong. When you resolve the pump, take the tractor outside and with the hose fitting lose see if you can...
