1710 Ford

[jeff77indy]

I am loking at purchasing a CUT. I went to look at a 1630 FWA yestrday but it had been sold. I dealer has a 1710 FWA coming in next week with less than 1000 hours a loader and a 5 ft bushhog for some where less than $10,000.
My question to the board is does the 1710 have independent pto, and how is the transmission set up, all I can find is it is 12 and 3.
Also if it has no rear svc can parts still be obtained to put one on if it is possible to install one.
What I would really like to find is the a 1920 FWA and loader.
Thanks

It may have live PTO depending on transmission option. The power steering is hydraulic assist, not hydrostatic, and won't be as effortless. However, they are good sturdy tractors. Not a 1920 though, for many reasons. Price a rear remote valve from the selling dealer BEFORE you buy the tractor. That may be a dealbreaker.

The rear remote is just some thing I'd like to have but not an have to have item.
The independent pto is an other matter though.
What transmission options were avaiable? Like I posted earlier all I can find is 12 and 4. Which I believe wuold be a gear transmission, three speeds and four ranges.
Thanks.
