Hi Fellas,
Yep, it's been awhile since I've been here. But I know this is the place to come looking for some expert guidance for my FORD 1720, a 1989 4X4 with FEL.
I have owned this tractor approximately 5 years and have put about 120 hours on it since then. It ran fine then and still runs ok now. When I first got it, I changed the spin-on hydraulic filter located on right side of the transmission, (Figure 50 in Operator's Manual) but not the fluid. Now I would like to change out the hydraulic fluid (finally) and the same filter again. But I have some questions:
My I&T Ford Shop Manual talks about many different tractor models and indicates "If equipped with double disc clutch....or If equipped with single disc clutch...." How can I tell what this tractor has? What difference does it make anyway?
-- The Operator's Manual only indicates the above hydraulic filter. Besides the one filter, does this tractor have any other hydraulic filters, screens or recommended 'stuff' that isn't mentioned but you fellas would recommend I should change when I change out the hydraulic fluid?
Thanks in advance for your advise, opinions and help, Guys!! :thumbsup:
