Sorry to hear of your loss, Jim. Something most guys don't consider is some sort of grief counseling. I found it to be most helpful.

A lot has happened in 3 years, good to see you alive and kicking. Nice remodel

First post Sept 2009, typical newbie question: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/how-mush-does-my-tractor-weigh.153043/

Turn tire inside out and use microfiber cloth to lightly drag across the inside of the tire(now facing out). I have had trouble finding small pieces of tire wire stuck in the bike tire with fingers. You can also put mark on tire at valve stem then find leak in tube to help search for cause of flat.

Don that does not look like a flag

Tractor is a '79 model 1700 Ford, 4wd with old 5 ft finish mower and 6 ft scrapping blade. 1400 hours runs good stored outside so the appearance is so-so at best. Has 770 front loader and 5 ft bucket.

I saw this walking to the back of the house and had camera in hand. Wished he would have posed better :D

You did not mention the seat switch, have you checked it? (Seems like most equipment of that vintage clutch and seat switches, if not clutch then a brake switch).

I was looking at the owner's manual for my '79 Ford 1700 and one of the items was bench testing of injectors every 600 hours. Does this need to be done and if who would do it?

'79 Ford 1700. My shop manual says to set them cold with engine off. Owners manual says to check the clearance with engine idling, both give the same clearance. Which is correct? And if I should do it with engine idling, anything I should know before shoving a feeler gauge in?

I would talk to the dealer as to how much he wants to review the 1717H. He should be be able to review what he recommends and how much to bring the tractor up to snuff. What you did not say if there is anything wrong currently with it. What is prompting replacing it? I have a '97 1616H w/ ~500...

A thread I started in photo section has disappeared with no explanation :confused2: will there be one?

A friend in SW. Missouri asked for some help replacing some parts on his 515 sickle mower. Apparently the parts are no longer available and I need some measurements or drawings to fabricate replacements. Can any help me or tell me where to get drawings ? (Will post part numbers later)

I am working on a '89 RX75. I have a parts book but not the manual. I have 3 springs that I have to replace but not sure where they go. The parts book shows where one side goes but not the other. One spring goes on the parking brake lever, one spring goes to the brake rod, and the last hooks up...

Two pics are resident critters, that last ones are transient

The assembly instructions assume no assembly has been done to the loader

I can only go by the manual title

My daughter is looking for a mower for about 2 ac. Can get a good deal on this mower new. 3k is max budget and she does not have a good mechanic handy. Anyone know who or where built? Has 26 hp Platinum Briggs, any horror stories? Thanks in advance for your responces:)

1979 Ford 1700 4WD. Last time I used it, the freeze plug between the glow plugs blew out. I bought a new set of freeze plugs, replaced the missing plug using hitack sealer during installation and about 1/16 of the land showing. I let the tractor sit 3 hours so sealant could set up. Replaced...

I need to buy a new trailer to haul my '79 1700 w/ 770 FEL and was curious as to about how much it weighs?
