Whats a Ford 1520 worth with loader & finish mower?

A 1520 with 833 hours, and loader, is listed for $10,500.

$6K tops around here. No location, no condition, no pictures then no worth.

I just sold a 91 or 90 1520 with woods loader and land pride rototiller. Loader 4 y.o. lightly used. Tractor 1100 hrs. looked like new. Rototiller used 3 times, for $10k, delivered. The guy has had it all summer and is still happy with the deal.

Your $10k sale would seem to be a lot more representative of the market than the.... "$6K tops around here"

"representative of the market". Maybe your market. Depends on the market area--Just like real estate. And Pre-Summer is always better for the seller. All the farmer wannabes are gearing up to mow their lawns.

They say "everything is bigger in Texas" so I suppose a little used Ford 1520 there, has a value approaching that of a used wheelbarrow.

In our area used non-grey market compact tractor 4x4 Diesel with front loader will be sold in no time at all.

It's been sellers market for a long time for used tractors like that.

Three of my neighbors bought new JD compact tractors last year.

Can you share?

 

[Aquabird]

Are you talking about the 1993 Ford 1520 or my 1991 1520 that I sold?
I am not good at loading pics, and the shot is not really close, but probably could if it is mine you wanted to see?

Here is my next door neighbors new about $27,000 - 28,000 or so JD 2038R tractor:






It's pretty nice, but seems to have very complicated electronics and at that kind of price I will just keep my 1986 Ford 1310

Thanks.

I am making a deal with my brother on my dads 1990 1520. It has 5' mid mower and peco grass system with 8 hp briggs. Only 600 lawn hrs . Clean,clean clean. Giving him $6k for it. Lot cleaner than stuff for sale going for $9k and more.

Hi All, I did an in-frame rebuild last year on my Ford 1310. Now just 50 hrs later I have a blown head gasket. I have the manual and followed the procedures and specs, but in review I noticed that as stated in the manual, head bolt torque specs for the 1310 (Shibaura S753 engine) are only 35 ft lbs!! how can this be true?? also noted that the 1300 and the 1500 both need 110-114 ft lbs. 35 ft lbs just seems so low for a diesel engine, could this be a typo? It is stated as 35 ft lbs on both pages 5 and 26 of the official factory manual (which covers models 1100 through 1700).

Hi,
I replaced my Ford 1310 cylinder head gasket back in 2006 and it's been fine ever since.
No leaks.
I did use Permatex spray-on (copper colored) dressing similar to this:

Permatex® Copper Spray-A-Gasket® Hi-Temp Sealant

Fast-drying, metallic copper sealant helps dissipate heat, prevents gasket burnout and improves heat transfer. Fills minor surface irregularities. Seals instantly. Fills hot spots and surface imperfections. Temperature range -50°F to 500°F (-45°C to 260°C); resists all types of automotive...

My "Ford OEM 1310 - 1510 - 1710 - 1710 Offset Tractors Repair Manual" cylinder head bolt torque spec's are: 32.5 - 36.2 lbs.- ft. (my aftermarket manual specs 35 lbs. - ft.).
The above torques are for lubricated bolts!

According to the manual the "piston height above face of block" needs to be measured, since there are three different thickness cylinder head gaskets available for this particular engine.

I followed the manual

It's still a fine compact tractor and I use it regularly.
