I have a couple of questions in other threads about my new to me Ford 1600, thought I'd start a dedicated thread vs. hijacking other threads. My 1600 has unknown hours, has a loader, and at this point I believe everything on it except the proof meter and the horn actually work! I'll use this thread to ask the experts for advice as I navigate fixing this tractor up for use maintaining my 8 acres. First, some pictures......
The existing proofmeter is toast. I found a replacement one based on advice from another post, just $70. The last picture below is the new proofmeter I bought. The only rustthrough is at thebase of the left fender. Ugly butI don't think it's hurting anything just yet.
My plans are to fix the leaking spools in the loader joysticks, fix a leaking bucket cylinder, then do all the need fluid and filter changes.
Where can I find kits to rebuild the loader joystick spools and the loader cylinder that are leaking (posted in the other thread already, sorry, no more duplicate threads from me going forward)
