Looking at buying a Ford 1920 a few hours away and the owner told me when he was going over it he noticed a rattle in the rear PTO. He sent me a video which unfortunately I can’t post but it is just that… a metal rattle. The shaft spins fine. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with it, does it...

I have a Ford 1920 that I primarily use to bush hog with. The PTO clutch has never worked well and after I purchased a Ditch Bank Flail mower for it the clutch failed causing a stripped upper PTO shaft. This part was not available from For/New Holland or anybody else for that matter. Ford /New...

Hi, I am totally new to tractors. Just got a 1989 Ford Model 1920 Saturday to clean up woods and overgrowth. Didn't know it was dogged/pinned and think that's how I popped a line. Brother helped me replace it and said: "Top it off" (hydraulic fluid). The dipstick doesn't give a lot of detail...

I've been reading the recent (and older) threads about 1920's with tire and/or rim problems, but I can't seem to find answers to my questions. One day I went to use the tractor and noticed a big puddle in the barn, I realized it came from the tire, I didn't change the valve core for a couple...

I've seen plenty of posts where the clutch will not disengage and cannot shift PTO in without grinding or can not get it out of gear. My problem is like clutch is disengaged. Have no problem shifting into PTO even without depressing Clutch pedal. The pto does not turn after releasing clutch...

So a previous owner chewed up the tires on my Ford 1920 pretty bad by not tightening the adjustments on the three point and allowing an implement to swing in to the tires as the arms are very marginal on length with the big tire option my tractor is equipped with. So started looking around and...

I picked up a mid 90's Ford 1920 4 x 4 from a person who just needed it out of the yard. When I picked it up it started and ran fine or so I thought. Literally just loaded it on the trailer. When I got it home I took it around the block and it lacked power. I changed the fuel filter, checked...

Hello - my husband and I have about 55 acres of hilly pasture in VA that we don't live on full time. Our ideal tractor is out of the budget right now, and the grass is getting tall, so I figured we might just look for a "lawn mower" in the interim. We looked at a 1920 from a private seller and...

I would like to remove the steering wheel from my Ford 1920. I DO NOT want to damage the wheel, as I will be reinstalling it. My reason for removal is that it will save me $175 in ferry costs, by keeping my overall height for transport to just under 7'. I will also remove...

I have a 1988 Ford 1920 that I had refurbished in 2015. It had 1050 hours then, and has 1063 now. I decided to have a new (aftermarket) clutch installed, because I had an idea that the loader had been used a lot. The tractor has never spent a night outside, since I have owned it, and it had the...

Hey everyone, We just picked up our first tractor almost 2 weeks ago from a fella in TN. He included a 5' bush hog that is quite stout. He customized the bush hog and made it with thicker, more durable steel which is nice but unbelievably heavy. He said he had it looked and at and that the...

Hey guys, quick question here. So my dad and I picked up a Ford 1920 and I noticed it seemed like it was leaking something. At first the guy said it was just the lube and grease that he had just put on it, said the engine was probably just melting it. It has since then been leaking nonstop and...

I have a 1988 Ford 1920 that does not have a hydraulic remote, and I would very much like to have one. I understand that there is a "Hydraulic Adapter Plate" available for the Ford 1920. Is that what I need so that I can plumb in a remote valve? Where does that adapter plate attach? I...

I have hyd. fluid coming from the cylinder that facilitates the power steering. I'm assuming it can be rebuilt. I'm also assuming this job requires tools and skill that I do not possess. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should send this for repair and how much it might cost?

After owning my 1920 for a few years, I have run into a lot of cases where a set of forks would be very handy. Moving large rocks, unloading heavy "finds" out of the back of the truck (a boiler, various tools, etc), and even moving the large dog house I built come to mind. I looked into SSQA...

I was brush cutting today with a Ford 1920 and I noticed that the 3PH arms were getting jumpy and slow when I was raising them. I checked the fluid level and added a gallon of hydraulic fluid but that seemed to have no effect. I do not have a front loader. By the end of the day it 3ph was...

I sold a tractor that had pressure coming out around number three injection at the head. Sounded like a exhaust leak. The buyer purchased anyway. What would that be? Thanks

I picked up a Ford model 1920 2WD w/o a loader. It is in pretty bad shape so I am going to spend some time fixing it up. One problem is all the turnbuckles are rusted and I broke one trying to loosen it up. I am hoping tractor supply has some. The engine starts smoothly and runs strong but there...

Can I change the control valve on the loader to a cheaper brand, such as Prince? NH wants $1200 and a double spool Prince, single lever, is around $300. Also, is the control valve open or closed center. I can weld and change the bracket so it will fit, but thought someone might have some...

I hope some of the 1920 experts in this group will be able to provide some assistance. Over the last two years I have noticed that my coolant level goes down slightly and I have had to add small amounts. The amounts have been increasing. I have found no leaks but have noticed white smoke from...

I just picked up a 1920 at a state auction. It has 2 issues, first, it will not start when the key is turned, but with the key on, I can jump the solenoid coil to the positive battery cable and it fires right up. Turning the key off, shuts the tractor off okay. I'm thinking it is a safety switch...

I have a neighbor that is a widow and she takes care of a small campground by herself. I try and help her out as much as I can. She has a 1920 Ford and needs the fluids changed. The Engine oil change is a no brainer but since I have never owned a Ford tractor I need to know what kind of hydro...

Switching a Ford backhoe between our 2120 and 1920 - the 2120 was "plumbed" for the backhoe from the dealer and avoided using the rear remotes....can anyone help with "plumbing" in the male hydraulic hoses to the 1920 - without using the remotes. The supply line should be easy enough, but where...

Hi Folks, I have a Ford 1920. The Clutch PEDAL will not move. I know how to free a stuck pressure plate to disk, but this is not the case. The pedal itself will not travel. I am guessing the fingers on the pressure plate may be rusted or something, but cannot tell. Any ideas would be...

OK...I had way too much hydro fluid in my Ford 1920. It was that way when I bought it. It also had water in the hydro system so I decided to drain the system, change out the filter and refill to the CORRECT level. I did all of that then started the tractor up and no hydraulics...not even the...

I am looking at buying another New Holland tractor. I was curious about the NH 1920. I have read rave reviews about them on this forum and I have owned the little brother to this tractor (1520). I had the 1520 years ago and it was just a bit underpowered for me on the pto (18hp) as the...

I am (maybe!) fixing this unit for a church. It moves but just barely (engine is OK) and the bucket moves bt has no "oomph" (e.g. it wont lift the front end off the ground). The hydraulic fluid (the reservoir is the transmission case) was contaminated with water, so we replaced the fluid and...

The power steering cylinder was leaking on my 1920. I replaced theo rings and stopped the leak but now it feels like there is an air pocket in there. It doesn't turn very well and actually feels like it moves on its own. I tried to bleed air out of it from the end of the cylinder but don't know...

I have a Ford 1920 model 2wd with 2300 hours. Last week while running a rototiller I stopped for a minute to get a drink and when I went to engage the PTO, all it would do was grind. I checked the hydraulic fluid and it was at the bottom of the mark, so I added some. The PTO engaged after...

Having never dealt with any Ford tractors, I have graduated up to a 1920. It has a loader with the typical joystick control, presumably open center. There is one male hydraulic outlet on the rear of the tractor. I'm assuming this is coming directly off the same hyd. as the three point. My...
