Not really, If l didn't plug in the heater and just used the glow plugs it would take a little bit of cranking to get it going just like yours. If l had the heater plugged in you really notice the difference how quick it turns over

Like that Ford 1700 movie, l have a ford 1700 with issues starting in cold weather also.l installed a inline heater which helps alot.

Yes it is, getting it back on today

Hey JC, all went well today after a couple of cranks it turned right over, boy it sounds nice thanks for your advice on this post and many previous ones

Will give it a shot, let you know how things turn out

Thank you for the info, l just turned them in tight, l have it all back together and will try it tomorrow. Will let you know how it goes. My service manual is pretty bland. I removed the front end loader to remove the engine, My manual doesn't say but how do l get the hydraulic pump primed...

Thanks JC , is that the bolt torque that screws into the block or the nut torque

Is there a spec for the head bolt that goes into the block on the 1700. I know the nuts get torqued to 107 lbs but what about the bolts into the head.

Thanks Jerry, my cylinder head should be back today. I'll try before I put it back on

Hey thanks for the info, would always think during the summer months it cause alot more heat build up

Good to know, do you use any attachments with it

I never liked the battery placement on mine ,right in front of the radiator, you think you would want a free flow of air across the whole thing

Thanks what did you do to prevent overheating issues, l know it's something to watch for on this model with cracks in the head

Sure thanks , some people that have the 1700 never seem to have issues, me on the other hand, I'll have a degree in diesel mechanics when lm done with her

JC you helped me with posts before thanks, do you still have your ford 1700

It was on the up stroke

Just hoping fuel injector pump rebuild don't affect the timing

Hopefully finishing up a rebuild on my ford 1700. All timing marks are right on. Had fuel injector rebuilt also. Before l put the head on l wanted to see when the fuel is injected to the cylinder.While turning the crank l could see fuel popping out of the pump fittings where the fuel line is...

Thanks JC, cleaning up the engine block gasket area and waiting to get the head back soon l hope, Thank God we have had minimal snow this year so l didn't need the tractor. Will send updates when I get it back

Good afternoon, had my head sent out to be welded due to cracks around the combustion chamber. looked real nice when I got it back . I installed it with the service manual so it should be right. Also added two new exhaust valves because the old ones were badly pitted. Had all valves reground...

Installed new head due to cracks, installed in cold temp,just my luck. The install went great, got the motor warmed up with a torpedo heater. Started up for about 30 seconds and stopped, let it sit a a bit and tried again. Ran a lot longer after it warmed up but seemed to lose power. I let it...

Good morning l sure hope everyone is doing well, l own a Ford 1700 that takes 15w40 shell Rotella, that's what the previous owner did also. Would it hurt to use Shell 10w30 synthetic blend instead just to help with starting in cooler weather. Tractor haS about 3000 hrs but was rebuilt with 2000 hrs

Any easy way to check injection pump timing on the ford 1700. Found some good info on here but can anyone explain how to open up a thumbnails to see the picture on this site

Hello, getting cooped up at home and making work for myself. Decide to do some p.ms on the Ford 1700. Anyone know what is a good compression number for the cylinders. I tested them and they are at 390 psi. Reason being l get a little anti freeze coming out at times in the overflow when the...

Hello, since we are stuck at home trying not to catch the coronavirus decided to do some pm work on the 1700. In the process had to remove the hydraulic pump to get at the fuel injector pump. Now once everything is put back together cant get the hydraulics to operate at all. I do have a manual...

Hello, l own a Ford 1700 tractor, nice tractor but its eating glow plugs. I get about 4 uses out of them and they burned out. All electrical is good and ignition switch checks out. Would there be a possibility of something inside the head that's worn l am using l believe the correct plugs...

Use tractor and starting to notice when going up a very slight upgrade or pushing snow tractor tires crawl to a stop in 2and3rd gear. I dont notice the engine working harder. This tractor was like a tank before. Would push alot of snow and not stop. Is the clutch going bad or slipping. Any way...

I bought my ford 1700 last year. I'm starting to think the battery is undersized. Its the size of a car battery but the battery stand is way bigger. Seems when l use the glow plugs at first it weakens the battery were it doesn't crank very fast. Does anyone have an idea of what size battery l...

Hello From snowy Green bay. Having issues with glow plugs burning out after a couple of starts. I did some looking around and l have about 9to10 volts going to the plugs when turning the key to the left. The indicator glows red. Question 1. Is it ok to leave a battery charger on the battery when...
