I purchased a Ford 1210 from another member of TBN, who was gifted it from a good neighbor. I bought it sight un-seen, and paid what I figured was a fair price, all things considered. THIS IS NOT A RANT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER! I expected issues, and one that I am not prepared for, is the...

I changed the filter in the sediment bowl, and it wouldn't start. Cleaned the old filter and it started right up--go figure. Had to fiddle with the shut-off valve on the sediment bowl, it started instantly, then died. Now it won't start, but it wants to--it is definitely getting fuel from the...

I have bad teeth on both the ring and pinion gear on the front differential on my Ford 1210 tractor. SBA322050420 is no longer stocked by New Holland and I cannot find a used set. Q: Is the same Gear & Pinion gear set (SBA322050420) used on the Ford 1110 tractor?

The original muffler on my 1210 became clogged at about 1000 hours (about 1500 hours ago). A correct replacement cost several hundred $$ at the time, and it appears that today they are not even listed. I have since used a generic replacement which is just a straight pipe with some insulation...

Hey guys for years my neighbor has been interested in getting rid of his Ford tractor. So I do not think it has ran in the better part of a decade. He recently told me that it was free to me if I wanted to have it. I have posted elsewhere and got a lot of mixed feedback. I have never owned a...

Hi I have an old Ford 1210. A while back, for no real reason I can see, it just refused to start. It turns over, glow plugs heat up, it has fuel, it just wont fire up. What really confuses me is that it worked one day (aside from a hydraulic issue which I trust is irrelevant) but then the next...

Hi guys, I have a ford 1210, I pulled the injector pump today and noticed that one of the plunger/rollers was laying against the cam. Turns out one of the locking tabs on the backer plate broke off allowing the plunger/roller to come out when I removed the pump. I put it back how I "thought" it...

The diff lock on my 1210 has not worked for a couple years. I am sure the reason is that I engaged it (stomped on it) several times when it was going too fast. This summer the tractor was in the shop for other repairs, and I asked them to fix the lock while they had it. The repair was noted on...

I have 1985 Ford 1210 4x4 hydro and since owning it for the last 2 1/2 years there has been a rattle in the clutch area of the tractor at idle speed.

This is a two part question. The first is; How much does an inoperative PTO , rear and mid-mount, diminish the value of a tractor that runs well, the Ford BH works well and the FEL works well? It seems that the backhoe has not been off in years,. The person I bought it from said he had never...
