Yeah I think a operators manual would be a good buy. The tractor did come with a manual for a lot of ford models including the 1700. To be honest it's not a easy manual to understand. I'm not experienced with mechanical stuff, but the owners manual for my old 1975 Ford F-250 was way easier to understand. Maybe there is a more appropriate manual for my machine and conducting preventive maintenance.
yes I agree, not being a tractor expert the operator's manual really was helpful, the repair manual is pretty deep and kinda hard for me too. But I still wanted the repair also just in case.

Hey Charlie, seem's like you will not regret your buy, I just bought my 1710 4x4 FEL 1-2-17 I HUGELEY advise spending the money on a operater manual (really helps) and repair manual-----you will kick yourself wanting answers for what seem's like dumb question's-they are not dumb if you (& me) never owned a tractor before, I paid more than double what you did, but I'm likeing mine real well, GOOG LUCKView attachment 500888



That's a great looking tractor. Yeah the FEL add a bit to the price tag. I'd love to have one at some point down the road for my tractor.

Bigdog did your tractor come with the operators manual or did you have to go buy one? If you did buy one where did you get it?

Charlie I bought both off ebay-I want paper books for garage when I need something, the operators manual was only like $14. delivered ? Really helpful-about a lot of question's I had, good just looking thru it and I was impressed whoever put it together. the repair manual is pricey-$80-90 ??
But my thinking is one thing it helps me do it paid for itself easy....
