I'm away from the farm and found out that the loader is leaking from the bucket curl hoses. Messics shows two types, but on the way home in a few days I can pick them up at a hydraulic supply. Lengths I have but can someone tell me the female fittings needed on both ends since I'm not there?

When operating my new to me 1920 loader when I drop the bucket there is a squeal, typical of a restriction orifice or a blockage issue. My 1710 doesn't do this at all. For other current or prior owners of the 1920 with a 7308 loader, is this normal? Any loader issues in the past just as a FYI?

Hey guys, Just picked this up and going through it before it goes to real work. I've got the owners, parts, and sevice manuals from Vermeer, but there really is nothing in the manuals about the Perkins turbo motor. Did Vermeer provide a separate manual for it? I'd like to go through changing...

Both are about the same power, but what are the differences between these two? Coming from a 1710 so trying to compare. Thanks.

So yesterday I was getting a new front tire installed on my 1710 front rim at the local Kubota dealer (the nearest New Holland dealer is 60mins away). So the guy mounting the tire is asking what I have and comes back that he used to work for the local New Holland dealer that closed years ago...

I haven't heard much about them here, but was wondering how well they are holding up and if they are a good field / farm tractor. Would be using with a FEL, BH and well as a rototiller. The other one I'm looking at is a gear drive TC-40.

Thought I'd throw up a picture of my little Ford 1710 with the 48" grapple and a Long pin-on to QA plate . This is as much as the little 1710's hydraulics can lift. Most of the old Christmas tree clearing was done with my Allis HD-9B dozer, but there were a few stragglers where using the...

I feel dumb asking this but I'm 40 miles away from the farm. Can anyone tell me the type of quick connects used on the 770B FEL to the 1710? Thanks.

Looks like I'm going to have to look elsewhere then Gator for a grapple on my 1710 that doesn't have a quickplate. I contacted them the other day and one person told me to get pictures and dimensions for the bucket pins, then today I got a second email stating they don't have anything that will...

I've not run my 1710 for a few weeks and went to use it today but the hydraulics were not working well. History Usually no problem with it, but one winter I did have an issue where the hydraulics would not work below freezing until the tractor warmed up, which I attributed to water inclusion...

I've tried looking but maybe I'm alphabet challenged. Could someone explain the differences between TC40, -A, -D, -DA, or whatever else there may be out there?

I'm up to 1600 hours on the 1710 and thinking it might be time to think about injectors. If I remember, the manual talks about having them gone over at 800 hrs intervals. Never done. I've rebuilt injectors for other diesel long ago and checked the pricing just for plungers and nozzles and...

Folks, I was looking for some hydraulic fluid specs for the different 5 gal pails that I have in my shed. Specifically since I ran out of 134 for my Ford 1710 while completing a change out. I ended up leaving the tractor low as none of the pails really has a good description of the specs that...

The hoses on my old ARPS backhoe are in need of replacement. I did this once before about 15 years ago or so. The biggest issue I run into is the outer covering just gets rotted from being in the sun as the hoe is always stored outside the shed. Any recommendations for the best version of...

Guys, I picked up a Tisco (Woods) kit to install a rear remote on my Ford 1710 and it includes their HV-4010 valve. They did not include any instructions on how to plumb this in and I'm new to these types of valves. You want to know how to retrofit an ABS brake system into a vehicle, I'm your...

Guys, I have a Vermeer TS-20 3pt tree spade that will fit on my '84 1710, but it does not have self contained hydraulics like my BH does. I did pick up a rear remote kit ($300-$400) by an accessory company a few years ago that I never completed. It has an adapter plate that goes between a...
