My 1983 Ford 1200 (4 x 4, 2 cylinder model) has a front-end loader and a counterweight on the rear 3-point linkage. With the quadrant control in the locked upper position (continuous pumping), the Hydraulic arms, which used to stay up, now keep dropping. When the bucket control lever is pulled...

Because I cant do anything right the first time I have to split the tractor again. Of course I put new oil in it. Is there any way to do this without draining all the oil back out?

Hi all, Just bought a nice used little 1980 Ford 1200 tractor. I have two questions on the mwfd.One can you engage with the tractor moving as long as you are not spinning? Is it alright to let the mwfd engaged as long as you are not on paved or concrete surfaces? I ask the second question...

Hi all, new to the forum:) I have a 1981 1200 Ford 4x4 tractor. It has a 16 HP diesel motor. It is a great little workhorse, but lately I have started having issues with it stalling, mainly going forward up hill under load. I thought maybe the fuel tank was getting low (the fuel supply line...

I'm going to try swinging by this estate auction on Sat (it's very close) and couldn't help but notice how clean the Ford 1200 (second picture down) looks. I don't really need it, but if it's a crazy good deal.... What do you think the reasonable high-low range is for this? ESTATE AUCTION

Hello all, I'm looking at a Ford 1200 with 4wd with FEL and 3 pt mower. It seems to run well and has new rear tires. The price is $2400.00. It has about 1100 hours on it. Not looking for heavy use, It seems like a reasonable deal. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Where is the Central (Diff Housing) Oil Filler Plug? (and the Level Plug, if they are not the same) - can't find it in the Parts Book.

Recent purchase - complete with Front End Loader - Have checked all oils etc except - can't find the Bung and/or check plug for the front Differential - can anyone help? I have the Shop Manual, but even that doesn't show one. As it has a wee oil leak, (New "O" ring needed, I think) the Oil...

can someone tell me if a 768A loader will fit the 1200? or what the difference might be between the 768 and 768A? thanks

I am looking to get a set of Turf tires on a seperate set of rims, currently have R1's on. Just wondering what other rims may fit ( 1210, 1220 ? ) keeping in mind the tire ratio as the tractor is 4x4. My garden tractor for mowing may be on its last legs and I am thinking of getting a finishing...

I need to replace the radiator (I'm told the original is unrepairable) and cannot find an aftermarket unit. I've contacted several F/NH dealers and have gotten conflicting answers on the availability. They all seem to agree that the cost is just under $1,000, which is close to robbery IMO. I...

I have a Ford 1200 (model year 1980) and understand it was built by Shibaura. Would anyone know what the model designation would be in the Shibaura line? I need to replace the radiator and F/NH wants close to $1,000 (if the radiator is even available) and I can't seem to find an aftermarket...

I have a Ford 1200 tractor. Lately the lift arms have been creeping up on their own. It seems like it might be related to cold weather, but I'm not sure about that. In a few minutes the arms will lift to the full up position from the full down position. What causes that? What's the repair...
