I did look on the NH and Messick's website for the 2 dipsticks. Looks like the longer dipstick says it has been superceded with the shorter one. My other reference does indeed say 19 Qts. Guess I transposed or read wrong when posting earlier. Guess I will just have to figure a happy medium and...

Well, I put the old filter back on to eliminate a new defective filter, didn't make a difference. Put new filter back on. Took rubber hose off that connects the ridged tube from top of pump to lower ridged tube, used a soup can full of fluid and put it over the ridged tube from top of pump...

I went out and removed plug. Oil came out, put plug back in while oil coming out. Tried it but no change. How long should should you run motor to check for operation? I have been doing it for between 1-2 minutes. Went back out to the shop and looked at the can. It says Ford 134D compatible...

Heck I was thinking of putting the old filter back in. I know it worked and it was the only thing changed except the oil. Before changing the oil, if I had the handle up, the box blade would be all the way up before the engine started. I don't really know if this indicates anything, but this why...

I do have the spin on filter. I used a Wix 51736. As far as I know the O-Ring is installed properly. It just fits in a groove. Here is a pic of the oil ans the side of tractor. You can see the spin on filter at the rear of the footrest. Now you got me wondering about the oil, but it was...

I thought I had it figured out but at least I think I found a problem. According to NH website the dipstick length changed on the 1510 from 9.13" to 7.68" beginning with SN UH0026. My serial number is UH00728 so I believe it should be the shorter one. I checked and it has the longer one. Maybe...

Is there anything unique about changing the hydraulic fluid in a 1510? Seemed pretty straight forward to me but something is not right. The tractor was working fine yesterday, but decided it was time to change the fluid. Drain oil from all 4 drain plugs, 2 on tranny and 2 on differential. Let it...

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...

I just purchased a Ford 1510 tractor which appears to e in real good shape. ( I hope so anyway) Have been reading the forums for a while to get some tipds on what to look for etc. Naturally the tractor came with no user manual or any other literature for that matter, SO I will be looking for...
