Thanks for the response.

The TC30 appears to be quite a bit bigger than the Ford 1210. Nice tractor. :thumbsup:

Appreciate the info on that site. Will take a look at it. One can never know too much about these little beasts.
Be safe out there. Thanks again. :drink:

Anyone else?

I have one of its bigger brothers a 1920.

Cool, I keep thinking that someday my 1210 will grow up.

 

[Creamer]

I have what i would call a cousin to the 1210 but the 1310 and 1510 are its brothers. There more differences when you get to the 1210 and 1910 - still a lot of similarities.

 

[blackrams]

OK, here's another question, does anyone have a Ford 768 loader? If so, what's the difference between the 768a and the 768b?

I'd really like to get one of these but, haven't figured out the difference between the two versions. I assume one has greater capacity.

Sorry - I have a 770B loader.

Just noticed this. Yes, I have a 1210. I bought it used back around '92 and had it ever since. It replaced a Cub 154 LoBoy. In 2002 I bought a B7500, and that was replaced in 2012 by an L3200. I planned to sell the old Ford when I got the first Kubota but it's hard to part with the scrappy little tractor. Never had a loader for it, but have used a 5' Caroni RFM quite a bit. Also used a 3-point dirt scoop quite a bit (before having the Kubotas w' FEL's). Used a single shank subsoiler to loosen up the soil to bury rain leaders. Just a few days ago I had the homemade leaf blower whirring away on it. Now it's time to put the scraper blade on it and take it to the church for the winter.

Yep, I've used a pond scoop and several other implements bush hogs, finish mowers, tillers, spray rigs, booms, ect....... But I have no idea what a Caroni RFM is............

Edited: Thinking some kind of Rotating Flail Mower?

Caroni is a manufacturer and RFM = Rear Finish Mower.

Agri Supply sells Caroni now. Back around 1992 when I bought my deck, a local Central Tractor store was selling them. The Caroni was a lot of bang for the buck.

Here's a shot from the evening the L3200 was delivered. The 1210 has the deck hooked up. It was a chance to get a "family" picture of all three.

Nice, I'm envious.

Unfortunately, I don't have the storage space for that many tractors, if I did I'd own many more attachments/implements for my 1210.

So, I decided to add a lean to onto my shop. Hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

I already have the 1210 and a 702a front blade, a 3 pt. box blade, a 3 pt. grader blade, Woods RM59 3 pt. finish mower, a home built platform and boom. Had a bush hog and a sprayer unit for it but, let them go to someone else that needed it more than I did.

While I don't expect to ever find everything I want for my 1210, I'm still keeping my eyes and ears open. One never knows it one doesn't ask.

Here's a list of the attachments I'd like to find (just in case someone has one sitting around in their way).

All are original Ford implements. Kind of like that Tonka Toy set I had as a kid, I want the entire set.

768 Loader, a or b version
105a Tiller
757a backhoe
715a snow blower

If anyone has any of these laying around gathering dust or rusting, I'd be interested in adopting them and providing them with a good loving home.

Me neither. The B7500 was sold when the L3200 arrived. The poor Ford spends its life outside.

Since it seems that your Ford is a neglected child.....
I will volunteer to adopt it.
I already have 3 of it's older(?)sisters.
Everybody lives inside!

Dang!! Beat me to it!!

Just saw this thread. I don't have a 1210, just a plain 1200 but it has the 768 loader that came with it when I got it. Don't know anything about an A or B, but just now looking at TractorData.com under attachments for the 1200 they list a 40" and a 48" wide bucket, same for the 1210. All the specs are the same except the 1210 lists an A and a B. So I guess I have the B since mine is 48" wide. Only attachment I have is a Independent Manufacturing rear blade. Same HP for both seems but I've only got 2 cylinders and yours is 3, but with 4.5 more c.i.!

I sure appreciate your concern and willingness to help out but I just put the rear scraper blade on it this morning. We had an inch or so of snow overnight and it wasn't fluffy enough to get with the leaf blower. Not enough accumulation for the Kubota (FEL & PTO blower). It may have melted on its own by evening, but a quick couple passes exposed the blacktop to make it more certain. Seemed like a good opportunity to get the Ford ready to spend the rest of the winter at the church. Checked and topped of and ready now. For the past few winters we have been doing our own snow removal. It's less than 2 miles away, so the Ford stays there and I drive the Kubota in when needed.

Which church?
Do you leave the key in it, and leave it outside there?
