Daniel, you haven't lived till you drop the wrench in a bucket full of oil and have to reach in and get the wrench out, you where lucky and dropped it in a empty bucket. Love you Chanel, i am 18 and have 4 old tractors from the 50s one is a old ford a 861 power master witha 5 speed its a 1954.
I feel like you got better deals down there. Up here in pennsylvania I bet someone would try getting 1500 for it as it set seized up. Its made in japan by shibaura. I worked on a smaller one before, seemed built good.
Globeglider: If you shift it to a high gear and pull it and pop the clutch after ya'll put a little oil in the cylinders. Like the injectors pulled out or glow plugs if it has them. Put hydraulic oil or transmission fluid in the cylinders. Don't be too rough by jamming it in gear after you get going. Just have it in 4th gear before starting. And if it doesn't turn over then try reverse while pulling it forwards. Not too fast or ya'll may break your transmission.
I have now got her running. It was a mess. It had run dry of oil. The bearings were melted to the crank! I did a backyard journal polish and put in new bearings. Rebuilt the diesel pump and put in new injectors. All seems good now.@@PaulHigginbothamSr
Great longer video. I get why you might want to keep her but fix the basics and give it a lick of paint. Those appear to be selling north of $4000. Either way, very cool. Moar please!
Ford Powah lol. heck ya man, what a great find and luckily easy fix. wouldnt mind seeing another one of these Will it start vids from ya. make sure u fix the missing bolt up front
Great job getting running again. I have two of these. No need to take off with rpms that high. There should have been a foot throttle control on the rh side step plate. I see it's missing as is the lh step plate. Did you bend the rh lift arm? Any way...there are supposed to be springs on the inner sides of each arm to keep them from swinging back and forth. ..notice the welded on loops. You can pick them up at Lowe's. Not the original key...it should be smaller and covered in hard plastic. Who cares right...lol. I just did a restoration on one, it was in real good shape to start with. We gave 3700 for it. I wouldn't waste time painting it. It's a beater. There is no air filter to look up. It's an oil bath, you take it apart, clean out the sludge in the bottom and fill with oil...the base is marked with an oil line. Oil filter size is okay, larger one is still available. Finding parts for them is a pain and rather expensive. Throw any type of can over the exhaust when not in use....or put on a rain cap. I definitely would have paid 500 just for salvage.
Man thinks for the info, there's a lever on the left side if your sitting on the tractor, on the side of the transmission it seems to like the the clutch engaged befor it moves feels like it has 2 positions down and up, couldn't figure what it does, I ordered the lift seal because of it randomly working, is aw46 ok to use for the transmission or what's best
Use a good tractor fluid for the hydraulics, I use Mobil delvac Tractor fluid. Or the new holland tractor fluid. Don’t use that super cheap j20 junk from the tractor store
Great deal you had👍 One word of warning coming from a tractor man, cut the rpm down when turning, you can flip them in a heartbeat on roughish ground 🤔🤔🥴🥴
@@DannysCam 3000. It's a 1967. I think it's running on 2 cylinders at this point - it might be a broken lifter (hopefully), or it might be something further down (I hope not). trying to finish the cabin without it, but the plan is to eventually clean it up and fix it. good tractor.
I had a 1710...with a loader backhoe that I bought for $4k. I used it a couple years and sold it for $7k. Pre covid. You better add some trans/hydraulic oil asap before driving any more. That should get the 3 pt lift operating. And lubing up the trans.
I've got a 1700. Water pumps won't last too long. I use up one about every 500 hours. Otherwise, not much to go wrong once you get it running. It is a oil bath air filter. they make great rake tractors for small rakes, run finish mowers and 5' bush cutters, even 6' and I work mine with a finish mower for the ditches around the farm. Garden tilling, anything an 8N could do, these tractors can do.
It was probably just hydrolocked. You should have tried to spin the engine as soon as you got the injectors out before you did anything else. I would love to get a tractor like that.
I have my grandfather original ford 1700 tractor still. Great machine only issue right now is the lift won’t go up. Pump is fine I think it is something in the value system
Great save on a bargain-priced little tractor. Can't imagine buying one in the same shape for 500 dollars here. Word of advice from someone who has worked with tractors all his life: Throttle back before starting off. Only use as much throttle as you need to get moving. Driving like that is dangerous and will result in clutch or transmission failure.
Hint, a tractor engine is not made to be run wide open, you're going to ruin that engine, after you've done fixed it. Try to keep your RPMs below 12 billion
Can’t beat that deal with a stick!! 😂 I bought a little Case International tractor that was real similar to yours. A little newer and a box blade and rotary mower that came with it for $1,970. Kept it about 4 years and sold it for $3,500. I’m afraid I gave it away at that price, guy couldn’t write me a check fast enough when I told him how much.
Good morning! I just watched your videos on the Ford 1900 $500 tractor. Just curious, what did you ever do with that ole' girl? I would have enjoyed more videos with it. I have one almost identical. Russ-
I told my self it probably was gonna be yard art I never had so much luck with a stuck engine makes me want to seek out other stuck engines and try vinegar
I got a 1600 with the apperantly a gost of a cylinder head bc mine was crack along in the valves someone's trying to work on it now bc someone keeps buying all the cylinder heads for the 2 cylinder diesel
If it will not turn with the starter ,quit trying ! You will break a rod or worse break crankshaft! Pull the injectors and then try turning it over. If that doesn't work you will have to pull head and see if you can see what is wrong! If all looks OK then it is time to pull oil pan and see what crank case looks like, if all looks good might be in drive line!
@@DannysCam yeah, my brother has had 1 of those FORDS for years. Bought it for $200. Sat in a Hart Co KY field for years. Did some wrench turnin & still has it running a small bush hog with it. Some folks just don’t want to mess with them and-or have more $$$ than sense, IMO.
Really interesting…nothing more satisfying than getting something old and broken down running again. Great video 👍
I drove a 1900 just like this in the 80s when I worked for a park district. It was a good little tractor. Very reliable.
What attatchment did you use the most
such a great deal on a good little tractor.. glad it worked out for you and thanks for taking us along for the ride
I'm gonna use her one day she's fun to drive

I love them old tractors alot of the engineering was better in my opinion,
My dad still has one of these and uses it all the time for bush-hogging. Great old tractors. Good job it, Danny!

Great job, Daniel! You are amazing 👏
Thanks for making this video. I've just picked up a Ford 3000 for $500. Said to be seized. You've given me lots of direction to get it started.

You sir are a CHAMPION!!!!
Good old Ford. Drove one for years
Ford Powah lol. heck ya man, what a great find and luckily easy fix. wouldnt mind seeing another one of these Will it start vids from ya. make sure u fix the missing bolt up front
I'm gonna make a list I'm gonna order the lift seals get her in tiptop shape I kinda want to keep her
Japan powered....
Those years were great little ford tractors taken care of would run a long time
I like it so far
A boy and his toy that's pretty cool. You got a good deal. I've been wanting to tractor to play with for a long time.

@@DannysCam I have a new 3 point if you are interested
Use a good tractor fluid for the hydraulics, I use Mobil delvac Tractor fluid. Or the new holland tractor fluid.
Don’t use that super cheap j20 junk from the tractor store
The bolt next to the 3 injector lines on top of the pump requires 8fl/oz of engine oil every 50 hours.
Thanks for the heads up how much do I add
You're a bit too crazy for my liking, but only you could get that cylinder unstuck. Good job !!
Thank you
Danny boy...you are so awesome. Good job....cheers! 🍻
Thanks brother
Great deal you had👍
One word of warning coming from a tractor man, cut the rpm down when turning, you can flip them in a heartbeat on roughish ground 🤔🤔🥴🥴
Good point older equipment can be dangerous
True it happened to a friend who I miss alot
Needs a HD roll bar
Good little yard tractor.
Great job!, great deal for the money!.
awesome machine. now I gotta get mine running again. good tips. was going to say - the way you stop it is by pulling it into a choke.
What model is yours was that what you used to unload them beams
I liked yours what model is it
@@DannysCam 3000. It's a 1967. I think it's running on 2 cylinders at this point - it might be a broken lifter (hopefully), or it might be something further down (I hope not). trying to finish the cabin without it, but the plan is to eventually clean it up and fix it. good tractor.
This is a diesel tractor, they don't have a choke. Just shut off the throttle
Good luck with it. They were good tractor

You did good I like a good flip
Don't forget about the crank bolt on front inside crank pulley!
Nice video, enjoy this kind of content….subscribed👍
I have a 1900. Shut it off by pushing the throttle handle all the way forward. Great little tractor but parts can be hard to find.
That poor battery charger... Kinda saw it coming. Great video though.
Haha

I have an 83 1900 awesome tractor. Push the throttle lever forward
great vid
I appreciate it
No filter would be better than any fram.
Best to change all fluids

I think so
Good deal danny

Gonna do a update on her soon I got some attachments for cheap I'm hoping that will work
@@DannysCam I have the service manuals on this tractor, so if you ever need any information, let me know. I'll do my best.
Very very good
I appreciate some times things work out haha
Genius. Subbed
You might use a short peace of pvc pipe and cap to put over exhaust pipe
Perfect type of deal.
Thanks brother I want go keep her I'm ordering a new seal for the lift
Please learn to use a clutch and lower the revs ?
Wow that thing really came to life 🤣 and it wanted to STAY alive
That's old diesel it's running on as well

Good job. You got a steal for $500.
I told my self it probably was gonna be yard art I never had so much luck with a stuck engine makes me want to seek out other stuck engines and try vinegar
Tractor whit a351 in it power ful built ford tough
Is it shibura engine
Keep it !
I think I will
I got a 1600 with the apperantly a gost of a cylinder head bc mine was crack along in the valves someone's trying to work on it now bc someone keeps buying all the cylinder heads for the 2 cylinder diesel
The weights alone are probably worth more than that and the wheels might fetch 3 or 4 times the puchase price.
Love it! What a good feeling! It is down hill now!!!!
That's an all right deal for 500 bucks.
You’re welcome, son. If I ever have a spare 30 minutes I’ll give you a rundown of how you do it. On second thought, nah.
I have one of those tractors. Finding parts is almost impossible and very expensive.
That's the life of owning equipment we got to pay the cost to be the boss
Most of them I get have stuck pistons and crank shaft bad
That’s very expensive and most not worth fixing just parts supply
Your douching the tractor. But in all seriousness I would not have thought about using vinegar. Good luck!
Had to be vapor/compression locked. No way it broke loose that fast with a little bit of vinegar.
I was amazed to but once I saw the vinegar level go down I knew it got past the rings so I gave it a try and it spun
With what you gave for it, that tractor is worth an engine rebuild
Turn down throttle and shut off key.
If it will not turn with the starter ,quit trying ! You will break a rod or worse break crankshaft! Pull the injectors and then try turning it over. If that doesn't work you will have to pull head and see if you can see what is wrong! If all looks OK then it is time to pull oil pan and see what crank case looks like, if all looks good might be in drive line!
Wish I had it because I know I can fix it and work on them all the time
But parts are very expensive now and have triple in last 5 years
It's a Shibaura...
No profanity please joking
Your clutch and pressure plate has welded itself together, just leave it in gear and raise up the rear end or rock the tractor back and forth
My right wheel gets stuck alot rocking helps
500$ not bad even with junk engine. It has good tires and those front weights are 50$ each at least.
That was my thought process plus I thought hell it could be yard art
Clutch sticks. Maybe running will clear this issue or it has to be investigated.
Might want to weld that crank pulley on, but good 👍 job
Great work boots. Smart😂
That tractor was made by Shibauru in Japan. They made them for themselves as well.
Thanks for the info I'm still learning

Starting to think about doing longer vids when I first started they said keep em 3mins but I personally like a 21 min video
The oil lines on the injectors is for cooling them.
Why ain't the top of the engine oiling
Now you got me worried I changed the oil I probably should check

Put hood down before moving
Diesel tractors should not smell like gasoline.
Throttle all the way up stops it I have the same one
Took me a minute to figure that
Never ever! Ever! Try to crank a siezed engine with the starter. Unless you want to replace all your rods.
Had to comfirm it was indeed seized
Oil pan full of vinegar and you crank and run it????
Cleans the crank case real good
