Ford 1910 Parts Help

[tjl1098r]

Hello,

I recently acquired a property and the previous owner left a 1986 Ford 1910. The tractor is in fantastic condition but unfortunately, it is missing the engine oil dipstick. I have searched all over the internet to try and find the OEM dipstick or a universal dipstick that would fit this tractor but I haven't had any luck. I spoke with the local New Holland dealer who apparently has one in stock but they are asking $69 for it. I am hoping to find a cheaper option. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Sorry, I am located in Washington state.

I would try some of the tractor junk yards.
Most are located in the Midwest or South.
A few phone calls should locate one.

Try Weaver's Compact Tractors in PA. I have a 1920 Ford that they were the only onea that had one part I needed and I got a used fuel tank from them since mine was badly rusted. Good people fast shipping.

If the OP decides to buy from Messick's he should request USPS shipping.
They ship UPS unless you ask, and UPS is crazy expensive compared with USPS.

I was lucky enough to find a used dipstick at Worthington Ag Parts in MN. They were extremely helpful and even took the time to go hunting through their lot. As to fried1765's point, the shipping (through UPS) was double the cost of the part. I will remember to ask for USPS the next time I need something shipped. I appreciate everyone's help!

Have you looked at the dipstick for the 1720? Part number SBA198416270. It looks very similar and lists for about $10.

Have you considered getting a cheap dipstick for a car and then just cutting it to size?
I have a 1986 Ford 1710. The dip stick is only about 6 inches long.
The Dorman 917-390 Engine Oil Dipstick might fit if it is cut down and it's only about $12.
