ford 1510

Hey guys, first post. I've been googling and searching this for months and I'm still at a loss, so finally decided to just pose the question outright and see what folks more knowledgeable/experienced than me have for suggestions. Basically I have the two tractors mentioned, and need to get rid...

My Dad has decided to down size and basically get rid of everything he didn't have to have, and I got because no one else wanted it a 1986 Ford 1510 in pretty sad shape. I may not restore it to it's former glory but I will restore it to working condition.

1510 ford 3 point only raises when the loader is raised and then settles. The diverted valve is set to the correct position. I'm almost positive there's something up with the 3 point control valve, anyone had experience with this?

I have a Ford 1510 that will start and run for 5 minutes before overheating and blowing white smoke. After it cools down it will repeat the process. Any ideas on what my issue with the tractor is and how to remedy it? Thanks!

I need a new thermostat housing for my 1984 Ford 1510, but am having trouble finding a replacement. Even online searches haven't been much help. Is anyone aware of a workaround for this? Maybe a different housing that will work or some sort of convertor? Thanks.

Hi, I have a 1986 Ford 1510 tractor and the right brake pedal just pushes to the floor with no resistance and no braking. I figure that it's one (or more) of the springs have broken, but I'm in the middle of getting my house ready to move and I don't have time to dig into it. Plus, I have it...

Hi all - I have Ford 1510 small utility tractor. My dilemma: Front hydraulics work fine, the rear 3 point raising and lowering stopped functioning. Previously when the 3 point was in the upper most position, it would draw power from the engine and bog it down. I'd have to lower it slightly...

edit: Ignore this... fiddled with the filter making sure it was fully seated and everything screwed back together. Been putting this off for too long. The fuel filter for my 1510 is slightly too long for the bowl, just enough that I can't get the threads to engage. I can tell the filter that is...

This is the first time I have dealt with Hydraulics so please bear with me. I've owned this 1510 with FEL, 4x4 and Power Steering for about a year now. While cleaning out a steer pen with the FEL my brother noticed the hydraulic pump leaking against the engine block. You can see in the picture...

Hi Everyone, I have a 1983 Ford 1510 (3 Cyl Diesel) that won't start after a long winter of not being used. It turns over a couple of times and then clicks. I took the battery in to get it tested (1 year old) and they said it was in great shape. The battery cable that connects to the...

The 3point lift cylinder has a new seal. The arms will raise with no load but once you put a load on, it won't raise. The pump is strong cause it will raise my loader. I get pressure back to the 3point lever, but no lift. Anyone have any experience with this and can point me in the right direction.

I have a 1986 Ford 1510 4x4 with FEL and a 5' bush hog. I mowed about 4 acres of smooth pasture grass over two and a half hours with no issues as usual. I crossed a shallow ditch and about 30 minutes later the engine slowly reved down and died. When I popped the hood there was a lot of grass...

I am looking for a replacement rim, SBA 336101101 which is a 16-12 rim. Used on a rear Ford 1510, with turf tires. Thanks for any leads. I really don't want to try to repair this rim.

The front axle on my 4wd 1510 has started leaking. It is the seal on the final drive gearbox. It leaves about a quarter size drip mark after parking it overnight. I have also noticed the front axle pressurizes as if there is no vent. I have looked all over the axle and have not found one...

My Ford 1510 has started spitting/leaking oil out of the exhaust pipe. It uses over a quart of oil per tank of fuel. I mildly restored this tractor a few months ago. I bought it with a bad injection pump, so it didn稚 run right. Now that it is running I知 finding this oil issue. It is more...

Bought a used 1986 Ford 1510 with loader that is having a low power/rpm issue. It has a hard time starting even after a prolonged glow plug cycle. It does not like to idle, and can only reach about 2200 rpm. Max no load rpm is supposed to be 3000 rpm. It drives fine, but when under load it...

Hi again, I have a 1983 Ford 1510 3 cyl diesel. What should I do before putting it in my outbuilding for the winter? I have no heat in there so it will get pretty cold in Northern Michigan.

I just bought a Ford 1510 with Allied 180 loader, but have not been able to find any information on this loader. Having never had a loader before I would like a manual to help with removal and installation of the loader. It appears the kick stand braces are missing also, so I need to source...

I just purchased a Ford 1510 with 4 wheel drive. I have all the manuals and have read through most of them. When I pull the 4 wheel drive lever to the right side under seat, it feels like it engages the 4 wheel drive but the rear tires spin when loader is under load and the front tires do not...

I've had my 1510 about 4 years now. One of the more consistent issues has been the O rings in the fuel pump. I order the specific, correct O rings, but it seems I'm replacing them every 10-12 months. Has anyone swapped the mechanical pump for an electric? How much pressure does the factory pump...

I just purchased my first tractor. A Ford 1510 with a pto driven mower. It is in wonderful shape. I have the operator's manual and have gone through it page by page. I am wondering if the experts on this forum could start me down the right path of ownership. What is the first thing that I...

I am a new owner of a 1986 Ford 1510 4x4 with 770B FEL. My question is: while running tractor with scraper blade attached in raised position, if I raise or lower the loader, the rear blade falls to the ground. Is this normal or do I need to address the hydraulics?

I am having problems with the hydraulic system on my ford 1510. History of what I have done. Tractor was parked for several years I started it up, the loader and 3 point was lifting very sporadic, and was unusable. I took the loader off, 3 point still doesnt work. I change the fluid (no...

I have a 1510 that I believe has a bad neutral safety switch. I'm looking for a recommendation on how to best access this switch since it appears to be inside the transmission housing. Thanks in advance

The old beast had a hemorrhoid when mowing some clover by the lawn. Mowing with the deck a little off the ground, and it must be that a bump of the deck pushed the pin holding the connecting rod into fatal fracture mode. The cast cover (that the seat is attached to) has been removed, and...

So I was recently having problems with my 3 point hitch on my ford 1510. It was not working at all, or very erratically. Changed fluid and filter with correct parts. Took out the speed control knob assembly for the 3 point, and changed the seal on the large cylinder behind that knob. The old...

My 1510 seat has seen better days. A couple of years ago I installed a new seat and cushion, but the underlying assembly has been getting rickety as tolerances pound out, and parts fail. Early, after getting the tractor, I found that I needed to lower the seat, so that it wouldn't slam to the...

Will a 1510 handle a 72" finish mower? Thanks

I am going to go ahead and add a temperature gauge to my 1510. I would like to keep the idiot light operational as well. Is there another location on the motor where I can add the sending unit for this gauge and leave my idiot light in place? Any help from the gurus on this site is greatly...

Looking for a complete loader. 770A or 770B or new one that fits.

Does anyone out there know where I might find a used or salvage ROPS for my 1510? It did not come with one but I would sure like to have it there. Thanks, Gary

I recently changed the pto seal on an 86 ford 1510. When I removed the seal the entire pto shaft and bearing came out as well. When I re-installed it the pto will only engage when I lift the lever up and hold it in place. Could some linkage have come loose. If so how do I fix it.

I recently had to replace a lower line and decided to changed the hydraulic fluid in my Ford 1510. I put 19 quarts of fluid in as recommended by others on this forum and my data. However it did not register on the dipstick. So I added the remaining quart left in the 5 gallon bucket and it...

We just bought a Ford 1510 diesel 4x4 and none of the lights work. My husband is a good mechanic, but just needs some guidance on where to start. He checked the fuses and they're all good. If any of the lights worked we would start with headlights or a switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased a Ford 1510 Tractor a few weeks ago and everything is going good except for the hydraulics lift. When I raise the back everything is ok. However if I lower it some and stop the hydraulic system strains to keep it at that level. It will drop just a bit and then raise back to that...

I have to replace a hydraulic line on my 1510 and thought that I would change the fluid while I am at it. I found tractor hydraulic & transmission fluid at NAPA that is rated for New Holland/ford M2C 134 A, B, C. I know that it uses Ford 134 rated fluid. Will this work? It is NAPA 85-475

Ok, I feel dumb asking but......here goes. I just bought a ford 1510 and am getting to know her. There is a petal on the right side under the seat, directly behind the brake petal. Can someone tell me what it does. I brush hogged with the tractor last week and just noticed the petal...

Finally got my tractor delivered Saturday. She's a mid 80's Ford 1510 (bucket, Woods 6300 backhoe & york rake) Trying to trace an electrical issue. I've got not lights at all. I've checked and cleaned the fuse box. Now I'm trying to figure out how the dash assembly comes off. Any...

I want to put a temperature gauge on my 1510. I don't trust the idiot light. Does anyone know where to find one that will mount on the tractor externally. There is no place (hole) in the dash for a temp gauge so it will have to be mounted on top. Thanks, Gary

I have recently come into owner ship of my grandfather's tractor. It has been pretty much sitting up since he passed away in 2007. At some point the exhaust rusted off and water entered the engine. The engine will not turn over. I'm trying to find out if it would be better to part this tractor...

OK finally got hydro sorted out & installed new (used) pump.. (I was having problems with intermittent 3pt hitch not working.) I am using a 30 inch 3pt scoop on a Ford 1510. 3pt has lots of power, goes up & down etc. However when it hits as high as it can go it bogs the engine down a few...

Used my tractor a couple of weeks ago and parked it and last week I went out on that side of the shop and found a large wet spot. The fuel line was leaking as it went into the fuel filter. I had known that the fuel lines needed to be changed so I went to Auto Zone and got the line and had to go...

The exhaust manifold on my Ford 1510 has developed a hole, near the middle. The opening is 6 or 7 mm at the largest dimension. What are my options for repair? Thanks.

My Ford 1510 will not start cold even in summer. 1 hour on the block heater and everything seems normal. The battery and cranking power appear to be adequate after the block heater warm-up, but cranking is way too slow when the engine is cold. Any ideas? Also I tried pull-starting the tractor...

I spent yesterday afternoon hauling dirt from the downhill corner of a field to a spot about 1200 feet away, a bucket at a time. I also had an old Ford disc mounted on the rear, and as I passed selected areas, I was hitting those areas with the disc. Near the end of the afternoon, I had to do...

Well OK, one is about the tractor and the other is about my finish mower. First, the tractor. One of my headlights is dim while the other is bright.

My 1510 has a broken lead on the sensor for the engine temperature idiot light. It failed about 3 months into owning the tractor, and I keep thinking about fixing it. Meanwhile I plan to install lights on the tractor, and while these are LED lights, and will likely burn less power than their...

I'm new to tractor ownership and I just got a Ford 1510 4WD tractor. I'm usng it on a farm near Philadelphia, PA. After 1 hour of use it started spraying hydraulic fluid from just below what I think is the hydraulic pump. The previous owner said he had to replace an O-Ring in the area. Where...
