The dealer sold me engine oil filter #87415600, but New Holland's website says #86546618 or 86546618DS (not sure of the difference, or what DS means). So I was thinking the new number replaces the old one, but can't be sure. This filter is considerably smaller than the one on the tractor, which...

I've noticed that my oil appears to be "coffee with creamer color". I believe it is water. When I drain the oil I'll put some in a clear jar and let it sit to see if it separates into oil and water to make sure. I will change oil & filter but am concerned with the fluid remaining in the lines...

Thanks to JC and everyone else that has responded to my previous posts during my purchase of a 1710. Now I have it home and have been using it for about 3 days now. I have several concerns and questions. I'm all about preventative maintenance, so I plan on changing the fluids this weekend...

I figured I should start this over in the Owning forum now rather than the buying forum. JC, hope you get this, but here's a new one. I am reading the FO-44 for tranny filter and oil change on page 94. In the second column it specifies different models and where to find the filter. For the...

I figured I would start a new thread since it is a different topic. JC sent me a picture of where to change the oil in the injector pump. Mine is not the same. I have the fill plug, but the drain plug and fill level plug, or screws, do not exist. There is an area in the housing that looks...

I recently bought a Ford 1710. I found an owners manual for sale for around $30.00 plus shipping would be around $35. Would the operators manual be worth getting? Or does anybody know where I can download a PDF version. I could not locate anything at the New Holland website?

Hello all, Could use some help diagnosing my beloved little 1710. It starting running funky a few months back. For a while, it was very intermittent, and I assumed a bad tank of diesel. But it's gotten worse, and right now, can't be moved. Basically, it acts like it's starved for fuel. I've...

In trying to avoid the big bucks on a new tractor I have come across a 4wd 850 that looks pretty good. Can't seem to find out much about the series and tractordata.com shows only 22 pto hp which seems low. Also found a 1710, one of which we have in the family and I am more familiar with. The...

The PTO on my 1710 does not disconnect when the clutch is depressed. I got the tractor used and don't know if it has a dual action clutch, but no matter the adjustments I can not get the PTO to stop turning except to release the engagement lever. The transmission shifts fine, even from forward...

I recently purchased an '84 Ford 1710 4X4 (1600 hours) which appears, at the least, to need a clutch, i.e., it barely pulls itself forward or backward. My question is whether this tractor has a double or a single clutch and what sort of expense may be involved in having it repaired. I do not...
