I am not able to find any compression specs for the 1710. On the 20 series (1720-1920) they call for 475 psi + or - 50 psi. These are different design motors, but this is an example. The valve lash specs are .008 cold. You could try cylinder leak down test to narrow things down.

I will check the compression specifications in my manuals later today and post that information. As Roadworthy mentioned, what voltage is present at the glow plugs. Check when in preheat and starting positions. Check the resistance of each glow plug. Does the glow plug indicator glow when you...

Pine?

The majority of the oak that I will usually come across is between 14" and 24" with the occasional ones pushing over that. Probably about 10 percent would exceed 24" and I am not using the saw daily. Just clearing my property and using for firewood.

I am looking for feedback on 362, 462, or 500. I will be using a 25" bar or possibly a larger second bar? Using it for dropping oak and pine varying from 8" to 30". Then using saw for bucking and firewood. Currently using 250 and 291, that is not enough for the bigger jobs but will still be...

That part is just a pivot point. The part behind that is a solid piece of metal, that is part of the front axle assembly. If I remember, there are power steering lines attached to the frame above the pivot point. Could it be leaking from the front harmonic balancer seal? I would recommend...

On the WIX site, I came up with 51208 for the hydraulic filter. It didn't specify what transmission is used in this model. Note: I just looked that number up, they say it is used on the 1910 also. That is not correct. I would take the filter to your local Napa dealer to confirm.

If it does have a two stage clutch, the PTO clutch is possible rusted together and stuck. One possible way to free up the clutch is to attach a brush hog and run it in high grass with the clutch depressed. You would have to engage the PTO before starting the tractor, safety switches would have...

How are the splines of the shaft and pinion? When replacing the new coupler, clean the mating shaft and coat with a quality antiseize material. Some even seal both ends of the coupler with silicone caulk to prevent any moisture from entering.

Does it crank at all? Put a voltmeter between ground and the stater and see what voltage you get when crank it over. Check condition of both battery cables and the connection points.

I would remove the drivshaft and inspect the front coupler, drive shaft and pinion shaft.

Where are you located? Pennsylvania has a few scrap yards for these tractors. Getting harder to find, but worth a few calls.

Try contacting ( pumpserviceguysc), he is a injection pump specialist. Does your glow plug indicator glow after about 10 seconds of turning the key to the preheat position? All of my 10 series tractors, even if it is warm out, require a preheat to start. As other have mentioned, the...

There isn't a lift pump on that model. As for the starting on those models, you have to always use the glow plugs. Check the resistance of the glow plugs and make sure they are getting power. If I remember correctly, there isn't a oil overflow line connected to that injection pump. Could the...

It is most likely operator error. With slightly mis matched or worn tires, the 4 wd lever is hard to disengage. If you put it in neutral or reverse direction, the lever will move freely. Some people just slam the lever down with their foot. This is probably what happened to yours.
