ford 1900

The tachometer on my Ford 1900 has failed and I am looking for a replacement. The original part (SBA385450180) does not seem to be available anywhere. Is there an alternate tachometer that can be installed in a Ford 1900?

How do I come up with a price for my tractor? I have looked to see if I can find a comparable and cant find another like it.

So I've been looking for a replacement temp gage for my 1900, It's stuck on hot. Hasn't worked for a long time. I've called a few places and they say the ones they have are also stuck on hot. The last place I called had a dozen most on hot, a couple in the middle and one at C or cold. I'm having...

Hi. I noticed my engine oil was dropping quite quickly (about 1-2 quarts/hour!) and it wasnt burning/ engine was good- even compression was great. Couldn't figure out where my engine oil was going ! Until I saw it coming out of the transmission shifters!! Somehow my engine oil is getting...

I have a Ford 1900 tractor that I purchased used several years ago. The owners manual and a shop manual both say that the oil in the injector pump should be changed every 200 hours. The pictures of the pump in the manuals look like mine and show a drain plug and a level plug. On my tractor...

First alternator lasted 35 years, second 2 years. Dash now shows red light(alt) when cranked. On this unit when running, it will still run with key turned off(alt light off). So, is it ok to run with key in off position, guess it not charging, but doesn’t take much to crank. Shut fuel lever...

Hey guys, had an unfortunate mishap on Friday, so need a new transmission full cap with dipstick and would like to change to detention balls while I am at it. Could anybody help out with a part number for the filler cap and decent balls? thanks in advance! Michael

I got this 1900 as a project, was very excited to work on it as it is 4x4 and has a cab, and I recently got my hands on a 1700 with a loader (and a really nice hood etc) that I was going to put on my 1900. It all started with the previous owner thought one of the injectors was bad. He replaced...

Ok looking for rear tires for my ford tractor the size that is ob it know are 13.6x16 and are turf tires. I have looked online and cant seem to find that size in a regular aggressive tractor tire. Im i just looking in the wrong place. I could goto a tractor dealer that close by but i thought...

Hello All .... my glow plug indicator melted immediately when I turned the key to the left to warm the plugs. Can anyone tell me why this happened? I did purchase a new indicator coil but I知 afraid it will melt the new one. Thanks

My buddy has been looking for tractors, he's too cheap to buy new or even newer even though he easily could afford it. He's looking at a 83 1900 diesel 4x4. From picture it looks in good shape, aftermarket loader looks like a bush hog and comes with some sort of back blade not sure of the...

Hi Guys, I recently bought a 1981 Ford 1900. The power steering and three point hitch were not working; the seller said most likely a clogged screen. So I drained the hydraulic oil. It looked terrible. Milky light brown in color, it reminded me of Thanksgiving gravy. I pulled the hydraulic...

Hello, Let me say I know little about hydraulics, so I am looking for help in diagnosing a problem I am having with my 86 Ford 1900. The issue is the loader has little lifting power. I can load the bucket when raised with dirt by shovel and it holds the load. There is a slow drop in the bucket...

Apparently this is a common problem, but I'm still at a loss to solve it. I use the glow plugs, the crank the engine. The engine starts about 10-15 seconds, runs for 20 or 30 seconds and powers down. I've put in new fuel; new filter; bled the filter and pump; removed, checked, and replaced...

I am getting ready to change out the hydraulic filter in my tractor. I have noticed that the fluid is milky white which i know means water has gotten into the system. What i would like to ask is, can i drain the fluid and then pour diesel fuel in to clean out the trans area before putting all...

Hi, My dad just picked up a Ford F1900 Compact tractor and is adding a frontend loader. It looks like the previous owner removed a portion of the hydraulic manifold and we don't see anything called out in the service manual to help me identify what it should look like. (right side of tractor...

I'm in need of a water pump for 1900. Local NH dealer wants $880 for a rebuilt pump. I don't think so. Looking online it's hard to tell who's actually in Canada due to .com in the web address. Anyone have a good source for Canadian parts source, or at least a good source stateside?

The manual calls for servicing the fuel injection every 200 hours by draining and filling 5oz of engine oil. The manual shows a drain and level plug, however mine does not have (never had) actual tapped holes and screws. Is there no need to service? or another way? how to check? Thanks! pic...

Hi, I am noticing an increase in large (0.1mm-1.0mm) black soot particles under normal use. Before I start worrying about expensive fuel injection, any advice on how to diagnose and fix? I'm between seasons right now and plan to give her a general service including cleaning the air filter...

I crossed the jumper cables on the battery by accident and now the battery light flashes when started (running). Tractor will start and run fine, and so far, no sign of not charging after using it for several hours over the last week. This is anecdotal since I don't know how to test it. What...

I have a Ford 1900, bought new in 1982. The last two times I used it I have some coolant dripping from the radiator overflow. Left about a 6 inch diameter puddle on the drive. I replaced the radiator cap with one matched up from Autozone after the first indecent and it did it again. The temp...

I just bought a 1981 Ford 1900 tractor. I did a full service. I drained the hydraulic oil where the filter is, the rear diff plug, and the transmission plug, then I cleaned the filter which surprising wasn't that bad. I also did engine oil and fuel filter. Well the first day everything worked...

Hello, I have an 81-82 Ford 1900 that is new to me as are tractors. I have been working through doing all the scheduled maintenance and having fun learning. One thing I noticed is I can lift the front with the loader if I rotate the bucket, but if I raise the bucket a try using the loader...

I'm going to look at the tractor tomorrow, it has 186 hours on the rebuilt engine, owner says everything works, but the glass on the gauges needs to be replaced thanks to their kids. He's owned it a few years and has kept up the maintenance, it has some dings but is mechanically sound. I'll be...

Hi again, Posted this in the "general" forum with no answers so I will try here also. Can anyone tell me what the part does on top of the tank, in the middle. Its like a hings type thing....Has it something to do with the hood? Like where the hood will rest on? Should there be rubber beneath? I...

Hi, Replacing all oils, filters (or cleaning them). Does anyone remember if there is a seal to replace when you change the diesel filter. I bought my filter from Ford here in Sweden, but no seal supplied. When I dismounted the plastic sup no seal "fell" down. But if I feel with my finger on the...

My manual has a blurry picture of the drain bolt, but I can't find it. Can anyone send me a better photo or description?

I had posted over on the Parts and Repairs forum a couple of weeks back but thought I might find some more info here as well. The problem started with the tractor not turning over. It started in the morning fine, turned it off to hook up an implement, and then nothing. Found our local repair...

First some history. I have a Ford 1900 tractor that I've owned for about 20 years. Every now and then when you turned the key, it would just click. You'd try several more times and it would go. Sometimes, it would be stubborn and not go at all. At some point, I don't know why, but it tried...

Here comes another tractor story. My now 82 year old neighbor "Horace" jumped and only got a few bumps. The tractor did not do as well. That was 6 years ago. He just gave it to me on the condition that I keep up his drive way. :cool2: Free Tractor, right? $2000 later... Steering wheel hood...

Hi all, This is my first post. I just bought a Ford 1900 last August. Seems like a sturdy workhorse (1200 hours) but one thing I've noticed is parts are hard to come by and expensive. I've so far had to replace the front tires and buy a ROPS for it. Now I'm looking for a new muffler. All the...

Does anyone have pictures and or dimensions of the 4wd drive shaft on a ford 1900? I plan on buying the two couplings and making my own shaft. I also found these couplings at surplus center for a lot less money and wondering if they would work?

Less than 50 hours of running time have gone by since I cleaned the filter and changed the oil. The hydraulics worked fine. Now it is down to no action when just the machine is just started.

Hi, I recently purchased a ford 1900 for snow removal because my neither of my other tractors have a cab. The previous owner replaced the 2 front turf tires with r4 tires. To me, it appears the tractor doesn't sit right (front looks high) and I don't believe he has installed the correct tire...

Anyone know what thread pattern the hydraulic/tranny oil dipstick uses on a Ford 1900? The previous owner used a pipe fitting to replace it, and the threads do not match. Not even close actually, the fitting doesn't even thread in. I have the old dipstick, which I can still use to check the...

I have a Ford 1900 4x4 with a loader. I have noticed recently it does not seem to pull in the upper gears( 3rd or 4th). It seems the longer the tractor runs the worse the condition gets. I thought it might be a brake sticking. That was checked out and I did have a very rusty and very dust filled...

Just completed a rebuild of a Ford 1900 (3 cylinder Shibaura diesel). Upon startup I have very low oil pressure. About 4 psi at high idle. I took the tractor back apart and checked the pickup tube, pressure releif valve, and everything else I could think of. I determined it must be the oil...

Nothing has ever been done to the hydraulic system on my tractor since new, and I am now experiencing a problem when I go to lower the 3-point hitch. When I do this, the release pressure moves to positive pressure in the rams for the loader bucket. How can this happen?

I just bought a Ford 1900 2wd with a loader. The tractor is tight and runs great so far. The only issue I have is when I hooked to the bush hog and attempt to engage the pto it grinds like nobodys business. This is done with the tractor at an idle, clutch depressed and transmission in neutral...

So i went to use the brush hog the other day and the only way to get it to engage is to turn the tractor off engage the pto and turn on the tractor. If i try to engage it while the tractor is running (clutch pressed down) all i get is some grinding sound. I read someplace about adjusting the...

Neither has noteworthy...
