Need Ford 1200 front differential

Kenfranklinl · May 4, 2016

Hi everyone, I broke my front diff on my 1980 ford 1200. Does anyone know were I can fine a replacement or the internal parts?

Thanks, Ken

You will probably have to go with salvage parts.

Hi Darryl, thanks for the information. My local ford dealer could not get me the parts but I called " All States Ag parts" as you suggested and was able to find a used differential in MO. Should have it here midweek and I can get the old girl back together and finish loaming my back yard and put in a sprinkler system. I turned 61 this year and having a small tractor for me is a must. I have been looking at the new compact tractors (Kabota B25D) but 20k after insurance and taxes is a tough pill to take so I will have to keep wrenching on the 1200.

Thanks again, Ken

You are more than welcome. I too feel a small tractor is a must and agree with you on new machines.....It gets really hard for me to justify a new machine when the only real advantage comes down to little more than aesthetics.
