ford-new holland 1720

Hi All, I'm trying to gauge interest on people looking to add a rear remove valve(s) to the 1720. I've been making a kit for the 1710 (see picture) but have come across a few people looking for a kit for the 1720. This would be a replacement for part number SBA340002301, which I think is NLA...

I am currently in the process of performing an overhaul on the dual clutch on my 1997 Ford/New Holland 1720. The reason for the overhaul is because the transmission clutch engagement point was just at the end of the throw of the pedal so I assumed that the clutch was worn (I did adjust it...

I have a1995 Ford 1720. On the rear wheel shaft I have a lot of fluid leaking out. I purchased Part #10, ball bearing seal, off the parts diagram below. I have removed the 4 bolts out of part#9 and have that cover free from the main body of the axle case where it spins on the shaft. I assumed...

I have power steering fluid leaking from the top of the steering column on my 1995 Ford/New Holland 1720. I pulled apart the steering shaft and assembly and it looks like the spacer(s), rubber ring/seal, and bearing all have some wear and I will replace those. However, is it correct that the...

I have a New Holland 1720 with FEL, no complaints, has been a excellent problem free tractor. I ran on to what I thought was a great deal on a B3030, 750 hours. The enclosed cab with heat and AC was a great motivator. Question is will the Kubota do ever the NH did. NH seems to be built a...

NH 1720 mfg in 1995 Please excuse any poor terminology as I'm not too tractor savvy. NH parts catalog show option to add single remote from cylinder head on hydraulic lift housing where a plug currently is. Here is what the page heading looks like:1720 3 CYL COMPACT TRACTOR 20 SERIES...

I have a 1991ish 1720 Ford New Holland with clutch problems. I'm trying to determine if my 1720 has a double or a single clutch. I cannot determine by engaging the clutch as the clutch will not release (acts like pedal is pushed all the time like perhaps the throw out bearing slipped through...

Hello guy's, I have a 2000 New Holland 1720 4x4 with 32 actual hours on it. This tractor has set in the machine shed all its life. I have put on about an average of a little over two hours a year on it.It has the 12x12 shuttle shift on it which has always been real stiff to shift from forward to...

I have a newer 1720. It has to be in neutral and clutch pushed down to start. Tonight I got a call that it would not start. Went out and checked. No power to ignition. Lights will not go on.... Do have beeping when e-brake is disengaged so I know the battery has charge. I think it may be fuse. I...

This may be a dumb question, but is there any need to prime the hydraulics after a oil and filter change? I've done it before and it wasn't neccesary, but last night after the oil and filter change the hydraulics wouldn't come back on line. I did find the oil filter was the wrong spin on and may...

Buying a NH/Ford 1720 4x4 that needs a loader. Any recommendations on brand? Will be used for light farm work, moving compost, etc. No 1 ton pallets or anything excessive. Anyone think there's a #7108 loader NIB hiding in a dealer's dungeon out there? Thanks! I've enjoyed reading reviews for...

I was using a 3 point hitch mower deck on the lawn in 4-wheel drive. Parts of the lawn are steep which is why I needed the extra traction. I heard a popping noise and suddenly the front wheels were being pushed along by the rear wheels. I lifted the front wheels off of the ground with the front...

Problem: New Holland 1720 will not start. The engine turns over. Used jumper cables connected to my truck and it did not help. The indicator for the glow plugs on the instrument panel does not light (light bulb is okay). Disconnected the bus bar to the glow plugs and checked the ohms on each...

Hello, looking to pick your brains for a minute. I've been wanting to get a set of turfs and rims for my '95 4wd 1720. The manual calls for 28-8.50-14s on the front and 13.6-16s at the rear. I haven't had any luck finding a full set anywhere near me. Evidently they used the same rear tire/rim...

My battery croaked out on my tractor after 29 months... The battery that was in it was a 30H series... Exide Commercial from Tractor Supply... The new 30H series only has a 12 month replacement warranty where-as the old 30H was rated at 18 months replacement and 24 month pro rated... They have a...

I have searched high and low for the answer to this, which my local dealer had no interest in answering since I was not buying any parts and will therefore never buy parts from them, but: Are the rear rims between the 1320 and 1720 late 80's early 90's tractors interchangeable? I have someone...

Anyone have a color-coded wiring diagram for the alternator on a 1720? I discovered I don't have a warning light for the alternator. In my investigation it turns out that 2 wires in the wire bundle within inches of the alternator aren't terminated. A white red striped with brown spots wire that...

not sure year, but i think its a 1989, 4x4. my stepdad needs to know it the rear axle housings are interchangable. for what ever reason he wants to swap the right side with the left side. also how will this, if at all, affect the rear brake set-up? thanks in advance.

I have a New Holland 1720 with the shuttle shift. Always been a great little tractor. TOday I went to use it and it was stuck in 1st gear. (Not the shuttle shifter, the main gear selector to the left of the operators seat) Its always been easy to shift and I use the tractor on a regular basis...

Hello, I need to replace the rear axle seal on my 1720. From the parts breakdown, it looks like I need to remove the wheel shaft case, remove the nut from the end of the axle, pull the axle out, replace the seal then put everything back together. Does this sound about right? Are there any...

I've finally come down to getting a cab on my tractor. I've priced new tractors and I'm better off to get a cab. Besides that my 1720 is my pefect tractor after the cab. It's better to be warm in the winter and brush hog what I have later in the summer night. I mostly use my tractor in the...

What would a fair price be for the above tractor with 700 hours, unknown brand FEL, Rhino mower (unk size), box scraper (unk size). It is in fair condition. Seller is saying just spent a little over $1,000 on it fixing it up. When asked how, they advised changing fluids, etc. Late 80's...

Can anyone tell me if the 1720 and 1920 share the same frame? More specifically are the roll bars from these two tractors identical? I need to replace the roll-bar on my 1920, and I have located a used one from a parted-out 1720. I'd like to make sure it will work before I pay almost 100 bucks...

I have a '98 1720 and would like to add rear remotes to it for top-n-tilt. I called my local NH dealer and he says NH no longer sells a kit for the 1720 through whole goods. Does anybody know if a kit for a tc30, tc29 or tc33 could be made to work?

Any advice on buying a new NH TC30 or a used NH 1720? The 1720 is 2wd with 375 hours, asking price $6,000 with blade. Looks very clean. Are there any compelling reasons to go with the new TC30 over the used 1720? I'm trying to decide if it is worth the extra $4,000 to $5,000 for the new...

Can anyone give me advice on the reputation and loader work performance on the Kubota L2350 and or the New Holland 1720 tractors. Is 1100 hours 1996 asking for trouble as I fear?I am getting opposite opinions from dealers that actually carry both lines despiet the larger HP of the 1720 @ 27 HP...

I'm new on board to this impressive group and need to ask for advice on a 1998 NH 1720. Has anyone any expereince with this model or it's strength with a loader to haul clay.rock and manure for most of it's jobs? I realize a bigger compact would help overall. Though I would prefer a TC 35 or 40...

Just wondering if $8950.00 would be a reasonable price for a 1998 New Holland 1720 4 WD with 325 hours? Looking at possibly purchasing this tractor.

I had a rear remote hyd added to my used 1720 when I bought it. How do I use a single-acting cylinder on it without over/underloading the pump? --->Paul

Hi to all the experts here - I'm throwing myself on your mercy. I've owned my 1998 NH 1720 w/FEL and BH for about 40 running hours (it has 650 hours). I changed the fluid(s) and filters when I bought it. Now (30 running hours afer fluid change) I'm noticing several erratic behaviors; 1) When I...

My neighbor has an NH 1720 and his floor mats are cracking. He wants to replace the 3 of them but says the NH dealer wants 30 bucks a piece for them. Anyone know of any place that has them cheaper? Thanks, Chris
