ford 1700 clutch problem

Noknees45 · Dec 9, 2009

JC- the clutch disck looks like new, plenty of life left (I'm replacing anyway).

Got the clutch kit (clutch, pressure plate, both bearings) from auction site for 181.00, including shipping. And they are throwing in the alignment tool for me. Good deal. Now I hope that it's all the right stuff....sizes etc. That's the only glitch. From the description/pics, I am confident it will be the right stuff. Oh, I also found and IT book and bought that too.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Not to hijack, but by IT do you people mean like this manual?
I&T Shop Manual Ford 1120 1220 1320 1520 1720 1920 2120 - eBay (item 250434827629 end time Dec-26-09 07:54:20 PST)
I'm looking for one but don't want to get one that isn't detailed enough So I assume that the IT is the one to seek?It says that int he ad but, of course they wouldn't say otherwise LOL
Oh is it fine to have so many models in one book or should I look for one that has my specific model?

That's correct, but if you want IT manual that covers Ford 1700 then it is FO-44.

Yea, thats the manual I bought. Its lacking, but gives you some info. I wouldnt count on it for major rebuilds and in depth repairs. Its still a good reference guide to have around though. TB

thanks
JC I dont have tthe 1700 anymore but it was a PERFECT tractor to me..
Just found this one does it seem more detailed, thus the price.?

the I&T manuals are good basic maintenance manuals.. I wouldn't want to rely upon one for a top to bottom rebuild.. but for maintenance and many repairs.. they are a good cheap option. I've also found that level of detail varies greatly among the I&T line.. for instance.. the ford N FO-4 manual is very detailed.. could probably easilly do a rebuild with only it and the parts catalog.. however.. jump up one model to the NAA, and the FO-19 manual is pretty much just a phamplet that hits the high points.. has about 1/4 of the detail of the fo-4 manual.. go figure. ditto on other colors.. the allis chalmers manual I have for my 'G' cover like 5 other models, and doesn't hit in very much detail on each model.. just general stuff..

Just for visual reference. Below is actual OEM NH clutch plate for Ford-1700.

For my 1900 I first bought the manuals from Jensales. They were ok but not as detailed as I wanted . I searched the auction sites and found a origional Ford service manual and spent about 3x what I spent on the Jensales manual and it was identical. I was disapointed the Ford manual wasn't more detailed.

Hooked thanks for the post. when i search the ford I see in () they say It manual so it sound like its the same as the expensive one on ebay. I have to request a special price for the one for 4 WD.
But looks like a good resource.
Jensales Manuals Original Technical, Operators and Service Manuals, and Parts Catalogs for combines, tractors, balers, and farm implements.
Again OP thanks for letting me do the short High jack of your thread..

I bought the IT FO-44 manual- 30.00 plus 5 shipping.

JC- Yup, that plate looks exactly like the one that came out. Not getting the parts until middle of next week, so install won't be until next weekend. I have been doing some other minor stuff while it's apart.

Any suggestions of things I could/should do while I have it split in half??

Thanks-
