Does your area have limitations on how close the structures can be together? Not, you build one a couple inches taller than the other and have the eaves overlapped by a couple inches. One sheds water onto the other which would have a gutter. As far as concrete or dry pack it depends on your...

Slight update. A friend who is a mobile tractor and truck mechanic told me to add extra fluid and run it more with the filler open. I tried that and shined a light in the filler hole. the case was full of foaming fluid cycling back in. At this point I guess I need to do the pump. I found...

I have browsed here off and on over the years when I have been looking for specific information and finally signed up to ask for advice on an elusive problem I'm having with my Ford 1700. I am an agriculture mechanics teacher from rural Central California. I am also a reserve firefighter and...

Has anyone used Periparts before? They are supposedly in the US and they have a seal kit for about $50 cheaper than I can find it anywhere else. That said, something about their website combined with the fact I see no mention of them in forums and such makes me question them. Scammer or...

Thank you for saving me the time. I sure hope you already had these pictures Handy and are not pulling your tractor apart as we discussed this to show me.

I already had the cylinder out and replaced the piston seal. I'm talking about the horizontal plate right in front of that that would be between your knees. I'm thinking that would give me a view of the strainer / filter. Thank you. I understand the concept of how a gear pump works but I was...

My oil originally was nowhere near as gunky as yours. It basically just had moisture in it. I'm still baffled as to why it would have worked fine until I changed the fluids and the filter. I will check the filter but as I think about it logically you are absolutely right that it should be...

The bulk of the oil and there is 134 fluid I got from the local New Holland dealership. It was 4 years ago and I do not have the original bucket and jug I bought but I am positive it was Ford 134. I did top it the other day with about 3/4 of a gallon of Tractor Supply UTF which says it is Ford...

Quick update. I let the tractor run for about 45 minutes at roughly half throttle with the draft lever in the down position. I was hoping that if there was air in the system, it would give it a chance to flush itself out. I did not open up the port to see the condition of the fluid again but I...

I am attaching pictures of my relief valve and check valve. I disassembled them again to make sure that they were put in correctly and all the seals looked good. They're not many o-rings or seals in them but those that are there look good to me. The only question I have is with the relief valve...

I put the pump back on today and got it seemingly primed. The hydraulics seemed even weaker than before. I would have to lift the hydraulic arms for the Piston to move and then they would stay up and lifted position. I pulled the gauge off of the test port and the oil barely trickled out at half...

I will put the pump back on Monday. I did not put witness marks on but I do know that I got him back where they came from. I was very methodical and how I laid everything out. One of my students who has been doing some of the work for me has a friend that apparently specializes in this vintage...

I bought my property of 2011 at the absolute bottom of the market. If it were not for that, and there is no way I would be able to afford it today. It appraised recently for three and a half times what we paid for it. First of all, thank you so much for your for your help. I kept moving forward...

Good job. I have not been that impressed with the quality of Big Tex. I have repaired four or five of them with my students over the years. These are all heavier than one you have but every single one of them has had weds that have come off the metal. Not broken or ripped but just separated due...

Thank you for your replies. I hope you had a safe trip in California. That is where I am. Since my last post I pulled the relief valve assembly and everything looked like it should based on the manual. I drained the fluid thinking maybe there was still sludge in there that had clogged the...

Also, what is the difference between these two pumps? 307001-3300 and SBA340450240 The second number is most commonly seen as the pump for this tractor but listings for the first number also say they fit the tractor and can be found for about half the price. The pictures of them look the same.

I bought a Ford 1700 with around 850 hours about ten years ago. About four years ago the water pump went out on me. I replaced it and decided to do a top to bottom service on it. I found that the hydraulic fluid was very sludgy and looked like some moisture had gotten in it. I pulled the...
