:welcome: to TBN! Sounds like you found the right forum to learn more about your Ford 1700 compact tractor. There are several members on here that know small diesels inside and out, they are a wealth of information for sure. I have some experience around Diesels however i haven't gotten deep into one, I attempted a rebuild project but my lack of the proper tools and no one with experience to guide me left it unfinished and i eventually sold it as a project. Glad to have you part of the forum! :thumbsup:

Welcome, I can only do routine maintenance, but there are a lot of mechanically knowledgeable TBN members; Soundguy knows a lot about Fords as do others.

Good luck
