A complete 1210 to look at

[rooftrussman]

Is there any body in the Washington DC area that has a complete Ford 1210 from around 1986 that I could look at? The one I have runs pretty well and has a Ford FEL and a Ford BH but is missing lots of pieces (3 pt hitch, parking brake, some lights, other minor things that don't seem to matter for what I use it for) but might be nice to get some parts from Ebay etc. in case I want to use it for other things. I've got manuals of various sorts but nothing like looking at the real thing. Even a posted picture from around the 3 pt hitch area would be a help. I'm making some progress but could use some help. Thanks

Anthing in particular you'd like me to focus on? Klaus

I'm at work so this is just a crop of a picture I had. My FEL is a Woods so I won't be able to help you there.

That picture is a help. I'm going to get a better idea what I need to really know about this weekend. I'll let you know. Thanks a lot.

I have a 1210 also,that I'm working on
My project this month is to try and get some ROPs mounted on it.
....Its getting scary on these hills
I'd really like to see some close up images of the factory mounting plate,
and exactly where it attaches
I can fab. a facsimile......the OEM is NLA.....And mount a Mahindra bar to it

Also a pic of the original suframe mount for the backhoe would be nice too.
....if anyone has one?


Has anyone used the backhoe on a 1210 with ROPs....is it possible?
thanks Y'all

The 1210 I have has a frame mounted backhoe made by Ford or at least has the Ford name on it. I can't imagine a ROPS that wouldn't get in the way. My 1210 has lots of things that don't appear to be original and lots of original things that aren't there at all. It seems to run well but has had lots of modifications. I did find a 1210 on Ebay that had lots of good pictures but did not have a ROPS, no BH and no FEL. Be interesting to see what it sells for.

My FEL (ford 78something) has a pice of steel tube about 1.5"OD welded onto the upright, right nxt to the hydraulic controls....seems to be factory
Does anybody know what its for?
