tractor vibrating



Hi guys, a few weeks ago I cracked the clutch casing on my 1983 Ford 1710 compact tractor. A welder came over and welded the clutch casing, re-installed the front loader and re-connected the hydraulic lines, tried the tractor and everything working fine, decided the hook up the rear snowbblower no hydraulic on blower all manual, once the blower was raised using the 3pt hitch the tractor began to vibrate quite a lot, lowered the snowbblower vibration stops, seems like if you use the 3pt hitch that's when the vibration starts, snowblower not engaged, hydraulic fluid top up. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

First thing i would check is to confirm that you have all the lines connected correctly. I would presume so but... that is one thing that was definitely worked on.

Does the vibration stop when the 3pt hitch stops moving? i.e. blower raised half way

Does the 3 point hitch lower smoothly once raised or does it also jump or jerk going down?

I think all the hydraulic lines are correctly installed, if not the front end loader would not operate like it did, the only time the vibration stops is when blower is on the ground, the blower raises and lowers like it always done, no jerking motion, my thoughts maybe air in hydraulics for 3pt hitch

Once raised or in position the air should have little or no effect when the 3 pt is stationary. If the 3 pt has position control and their is air in the system or a spool is hanging up from a piece of dirt dislodged by removing and installing the lines this could cause the 3 pt to hunt. I.e. drift down a little, jerk back up, drift down, jerk back up.

Is that what is happening?

Please post your results on this problem. My Ford 1900 has been doing the same thing for a long time, and I've not taken anything apart. Exact same symptoms. Just out of the blue it started.

Is there a hydraulic filter screen on or near the pump that can be cleaned ??? My ford 1300 had one that was partialy clogged that caused problems like this.

Try it with the pto shaft removed. If it is bottoming out in the raised position it can put a lot of pressure on the gear train and clutch.

Good afternoon everyone, started the tractor raised the snowblower and once again started to vibrate when in the top position, started to raise and lower the blower and also went past my highest raised position and magically stopped vibrating, lowered again and raised started to vibrate went past the stop position to maximum height and vibration stopped, tried many times after and no more vibration yahoo knock on wood (this case steel), maybe was dirt, thanks to everyone trying to help, hope I can return the favour

Rickv3,
Glad to hear it is working. Could have been dirt or air, either way let's not try to fix what isn't broke..

lucky us we got another 6' of snow last night, used snowblower and did not vibrate at all, problem solved, thanks again to everyone
