Just purchase a Ford 1600 and when placing in gear (Drive or Reverse) it seems to be slipping or skipping. Could the wrong oil been used or is it more of a gear issue? It doesn't matter if it's in low or high gear.

The pto disengages without depressing the clutch. Slight hand pressure or even a bungee keep it in place. I'd rather fix it and do it right. Internet searches have led be to a detent spring and ball.Can I access these from the top covers or does this require an extensive job? I will leave well...

My ford 1600 currently just has a straight pipe on it. I want to put on an actual muffler. When I search online I only come up with a muffler that does not have enough distance from the mounting plate to the bend to clear the hood. The ford 1700 mufflers have more than enough distance. Would...

I bought a used 1600 4wd and was wondering if anyone had a wiring diagram. The tractor runs great, but the key won't shut off the engine when turned to the off position. The headlights or rear lights don't work either. It will heat the glow plugs with the key, it just won't shut the engine...

I have a couple of questions in other threads about my new to me Ford 1600, thought I'd start a dedicated thread vs. hijacking other threads. My 1600 has unknown hours, has a loader, and at this point I believe everything on it except the proof meter and the horn actually work! I'll use this...

I've got an old Ford 1600, and I found one of those cheap chinese loaders to put on it. After some research, I have determined that the loader I bought has an open spool power beyond single stick control valve, and I've figured out which is the high pressure inlet from pump, which is the power...

Thanks for the welcome. I hope to get a lot of good hints on taking care of a tractor that has seen little TLC over the years since my dad bought it new in 1978. I have found it is VERY hard to find parts, so I have to use my imagination. I hope to be on often. --Barry

I have a Ford 1600, and have purchased a set of engineering specs to build a custom loader. I am having trouble identifiying where to tap into the hydraulics when I attach the loader. Judging by the NewHolland/Ford website exploded parts drawings, there may be some sort of adapter block that...
