Front-End Loader Loader for Ford 1700

[kinglouie63]

I have a great little Ford 1700 tractor and I want to put a loader on it. Other than the OEM 770 a&b (which seem hard to come by) does anybody know of other mfgrs. & models that will fit my little gem? I am in western NY If you actually have one for sale please speak up. Thanks in advance.

My guess is you are going to have to buy a new loader. Here is a company that makes great loaders. Use the search to find what you need.

Koyker Manufacturing - Loaders

I have a Westendorf on my 1900. There are plenty of manufactures that make loaders that will fit. You can find a used on off a different tractor and contact the Mfg. to see if they have brackets for that loader for the 1700. Do you have power steering?

No I don't have power steering, I have rather dry land so I really haven't had any steering issues. I have read of power steering upgrades thou.

I looked at koykers web site and they dont list a model for the 1700, only the 1710. Do you know if it's the same attachment> thanks for the reply.

What I am getting at is, with a FEL and a bucket of dirt you are going to have a lot of weight on the front end making it hard to steer with out PS.

You can add the FEL without adding PS, but you might be a bit dissatisfied with the way it operates/performs after doing it. Imho, power steering is almost a req't to make tight turns with a loader bucket full of material.

You can call Koyker to Confirm but I think it's the same loader, the ones we put on the tractor did not have power steering either, this is a small loader so you may be OK

The sticker shock for the loader may get you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
