- '49 8n, '52 8N, '61 Allis Chalmers D12 with FEL, '07 Montana R 4944 with FEL, Ford 1310 with FEL
Recently picked up a fairly well preserved 1310 4x4 with 770A FEL - 760 hours
To create a baseline I’ve been, greasing zerks, changing fluids, adjusting the clutch, trying to take slop out of the steering, getting the lights working etc.
Haven’t figured out how to clean the hydraulic filter yet.
Tractor runs strong and no leaks.
3 of 4 original Bridgestone tires still holding air despite looking horrible.
The service manual in files has been very helpful along with a member Arto who has owned the same model since 1997.
Sadly I failed to take a before picture but the grill was crunched and a couple dents in the hood. I removed the grill and used a piece of 1/2” plywood to straighten out the fins. I’m quite proud of how it came out. I also hit the dents from the inside with a rubber mallet and they are much better too.
