no plastic no programing no bs, miss those days

I look forward to C&C Equipment videos every day.

What I like about the 1715 Ford Tractor is that there is a lot of metal. Still a solid built piece of machinery.

For $4500 that’s a super deal. Of course the cost of Kevin’s unrelenting torment must be factored in too.

I enjoyed you doing a small tractor. It's cool seeing something that an average DIYer might do

Never mind the tractor....The banter was the highlight...

I absolutely love that little Ford tractor. Awesome purchase! 👌 Thank you for sharing! 😊

I wanna see the quick attach install. Also that will make a dandy garden tractor for this spring, put a tiller on it and there ya go.

We need a C&C crew video cover of “She thinks my tractor’s Sexy”, maybe in Christmas attire

The front axle needs 80w90 and needs to be half full. Both ends needs to be filled to the thread of the filling plug. Also 80w90. Transmission needs 10w30stou. I'm from Europe so I don't know if you have the same oil specs over there. Good luck men! It looks like someone filled the transmission with 80w90 or is it so thick from the cold? 😊

You are winning with the tractor. I am very glad that it worked out for you.

Clint, you should talk to Captain Kleeman about the quick attach, he will get you fixed right up 🤔😉

Yeah would love to see you add all attachments to the little Ford tractor! I know you can do it. This was a great video!! Thanks for sharing and I want to wish C&C Equipment and all your family and workers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New!!

Clint - I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!! The oil filter gumbo was incredible! The foam filled tires & the big mess made this an awesome video!! Glad you got it running! Thumbs up!! Stay safe! Jim

You guys had almost as much fun working on her as I did watching you guys working on her. Thanks for the laughs and the lessons. Pray all are well and for a blessed time spent with family and friends over the holidays! Kevin...it's pronounced F E R D.

OMG guys! Y’all had me dying laughing…Lol. Great video….Merry Christmas to you all! Eagerly waiting for your next video here in Virginia!

Always nice to have a little tractor around I have a 1999 jd4200 now with over 4000 hours always kept inside looks very good runs good

Wish I had a dollar for every one of those 1715's that I have assembled. For several years I assembled equipment for Ford/New Holland dealers. I would uncrate, assemble, and install a loader on them and set out on the front lot so the dealer could sell it. I loved those little tractors.

Awesome video!!!! Like always. 😁 Have a blessed week Mr. C & Mrs. C. Kev and the boy's also have a blessed week and keep up the good work!!!! Can't wait to bring home my tool box full of tools from Harbor Freight tools!!!! ❤️😂😁

Please do more on this!! It was a fun video

All I want for Christmas is a quick attach video on the Ford 1715! Great video gentlemen.

Amazing and hilarious video. I have a soft spot for those little tractors. I spent a lot of hours on one cleaning dairy barns as a kid. You should keep it of you have a use for it. You ain’t kidding about the price, they sell for about the exact price they were new in 1996. I would enjoy another video featuring this little beast.

I've owned a handful of those late 80s early 90s Ford tractors. They're hard to beat for sure!

That's Santa's little Ford tractor, right there. Even if it's blue....

We have pulled some massive Elm logs with out old 79. Ford tractor. She's quite the lady. Loud strong and obnoxious!!😂😂

Very few glow plugs go bad on these units - it is the relay. you will greatly extend the life of your front tires by turning them around backwards. you won't loose any traction, but the wear is greatly reduced especially with a loader. the 1715 was an "economical" version of the Ford compact tractors. The "full blown" version is the 1720. It has more gears and you could get it in a hydro which was awesome. You have a great little tractor that should last at your house as long as you want it to stay there. A good tractor to teach your grandkids how to drive in the future!

Clint , Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you all your family and friends from Mississippi

Reminds me a little of the 1950 Ford 8N I spent hundreds of hours operating on my dad's farm in the 1950s and 60s.

I own a 1720 I bought around 20 years ago nearly new condition- the little guy has been absolutely trouble free! It even thinks it’s a bigger tractor than it is lol! When you get it fixed you will be glad you found it!

Cool little tractor you've got there, and something a bit different for the channel. A nice Kevin paint job would finish it up nicely 😄

You never know this could be the next big thing C&C farm equipment division 😀 lol

Quick adaption would make it more versatile and I'd love to see it

You guys had way to much fun with that matchbox toy!! Enjoyed the hell out of it!!

I have a 1989 Ford 1920, .......the bigger brother to the Ford 1715. An absolutely wonderful machine, made in Japan by Shibaura, for Ford. I completely refurbished mine, including a new auto quality paint job. I also have a 48 HP Kubota TLB, but my little Ford gets the most use.

it is about time that you guys got some quality Blue paint in the shop. please keep up the good work.

Model A, 9N Tractor and this 1715 all have about the same level of technology. Not a bad thing, they all do the job!

Clint buys another orphan. Welcome home, little buddy. Uncle Scott is getting you a new set of paws for your front, and you are going to feel much better, real soon.

That’s a nice little Ford tractor is like to find one like that with all metal instead of cheap plastic 👍

I have a soft spot for that vintage Ford tractor. The farm store I worked at in my younger days had a 10 series Ford tractor for loading mulch.

It’s cool how you put the old Saturday or Sunday kung fu movie parts included in your videos. Do you remember when you watched them and seen their mouths moving and no sound. Then you hear the sound and the mouths are not moving. Some funny stuff. Brings back memories from way back then. lol 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They make tons of attachments for that little thing. It might be handy to keep around. Love the video it's nice when y'all throw something different into the mix once in awhile.👍👍

Turning the tires so the tractor has a wider stance is actually a very good idea. They are really easy to turn over with the narrow stance.

Here in the UK 🇬🇧 my ex-husband, car mechanic, used to say that FORD stood for Fix Or Repair Daily 😂😂😂

I had a couple of these Ford tractors. Very economical and trouble free. Both were two wheel drive. One had 6000 hrs on before a rebuild. Change oil and filter every fifty hours. I used them for mowing and snow removal around our home. Enjoy it. Yes I would like to see a quick attach installed. I enjoy your channel a bunch.

That was the perfect video. I haven't laughed so hard in quite some time. Thank you guys. Merry Christmas.

Greetings from Lafayette! Seems like the smaller the machine, the bigger the mess, ha ha. Good lookin' Ferd, fine sir! I hope everyone at the shop and your families have a great holiday!

Great tractors. They’re hard to bleed the fuel systems, which you found out. They’re also cold blooded. You have to use the glow plugs even if it’s 80° out, for the first start of the day. If it’s parked in an unheated building, they can be a real bitch to get started in winter. Heat lamps and/or torpedo heaters required. Ford should have put a block heater in standard. They only require four fluids: diesel, coolant, 15W-40 engine oil, and NewHolland 134 fluid or equivalent.

Clint, family and employees, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Enjoyed the video.

I never lost faith in the ol FERD,

I say 3 days suspension without pay who knocked the little Ford tractor😂😂 More videos on the little Ford tractor 👍

I bought my wife a 35hp 1250 Massey for Valentines day back in 96 or 97!!! (She loves it!!! Said it was her best present ever :-) We live in the mountains of western NC so a bigger machine wasn't an option and the Massey had wheels that spread out which really helps on these hills!!! That machine still cranks every time and the 4WD still works flawlessly🙂 Have fun Mr C&C, might give it to your wife for valentines day, you never know, she might love it... ;-)

Such a handy machine for round the house. Great fun.

Since you found water in axles, transmission, you should add diesel to whole drive train and then refill with recommended oil on moving parts. Good investment Keep up the great videos Glen from Guam usa

Enjoyed the tractor build. . Merry Christmas to all @,,c&c.

The chrome discs just above the key switch is your glow plug indicator it will glow red when ready to start ❤️❤️❤️

That's a sweet little tractor! Nice change of pace! Thanks!

Yes, show a quick attach video. Maybe flush the hydraulic system again as the cylinders and other stuff will have garbage as well. Best of the holidays for all of you.

They're fun units. I just bought a Shibaura made 2120 Ford with the 7109 loader and the more I look at it the better built I see it is. Japan really did it right on these smaller utility tractors.

Randy shine it up and you can take it home to Mrs B!

Kevin, as usual, makes the show. Randy adds to it. It is great that all interactions are great.

I Have Had Good Luck With Mine It Is A Cold Blooded Tractor For Sure Have Fun

Yessiree.., “she’s a beaut” Clinton. That little unit will run forever. Great video, Thank you sir.

The Ford 1715 was part of series of small tractors from Ford built in Japan, 1715 4wd/1710/1915/19204wd/2110/21204wd they were built from 1988-1990 phased out in the early 90's when Ford was bought out by New Holland into New Holland series TC line , Tc 40 Tc35 ect. I have a 1989 2120 great little tractor around the 40-45hp. Only problem I have is the factory bucket is to big and heavy for them. And the fact that Ford used a overlap of there model numbers from the 60's with similar numbers so be careful in looking up parts and items for this series. Some if not most of the parts are interchangeable between them and New Holland TC series and the 1988-90 years series.

Paint the bucket blue and give it a bath!!

I figured out that my Kubota L2500DT loader had some crossed hydraulic lines. Working fine now.

I own 2 1920 ford newholland tractors and rebuilt the front 4 wheel drive front axle with all new bearings and seals you could put oil in the axel and it would pour out the final drives and on the ground. After rebuilding I put 80/90 weight gear oil in axel and final drives filled up to the opening .The part man at ford said the oil will go into the final drives from the axel and it does but very slowly .It passes through a cover on a bearing to make Its way down .

in 1919 GM did make a tractor at its Janesville Wisconsin plant

Merry Christmas all of you

Hello Clinton, I'll hazard to guess, you folks didn't know exactly what you were working on today. That 1715 right there is known as a "Rolls Canardly"! It rolls like a scared cat downhill, but canardley get up the other side! Cheers and Merry Christmas to you all.

I have the FORD 1920 model very similar to yours. I love mine...very handy for small jobs.

pinch any engine oil dipstick, If sticky ,its laced with STP, put a lighter to the oil on it. if it spits, its got antifreeze in it. On diesel flushes, It leaves a film that stops oil from getting into pores and not doing its job, Friend does jet engine gearboxes so has lots of training and it came up as its ol for first step but you want metal spotless on reassembly. looks too clean and not faded to be left out , low wear on floorboards.not even algae on anything.

I bought a well used 1984 Ford 1310, 4 sp 4WD, shuttle shift , 3 point rear hitch and FEL in 2006 for $6,000. I used it and traded it in for a JD 2025R in 2016. The Ford did good until the front frame bolts started stripping out of the engine block.

That oil ... lol ..baked just right!! Coffees on guys!1 Cheers!;-)!!

Great video . Nice change totally enjoyed it . Laughed out loud several times, especially when Kevin had the camera when you weren't there. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to all of you!

Randy to the RESCUE.....!

Tough starting in warm garage. New glow plugs? Yours may be connected but they can't be red hot. Might be the old ones are dirty might be if you replaced them and install a block heater for cold days should help.

The maintenance on that poor little Ford is just sad Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Have to honestly say. Haven't laughed so hard in this video. Of course sausage fingers sounds more like Winnie-the-Pooh.!!😅

In 1980 a tractor dealer I worked for bought a boat load of those tractors. They came from Japan and was an awesome tractor . The sizes were very small to larger than what you have there. They would be in a creat you put the wheels on a d put the loader on fill all fluids we never had any problems. Ford made awesome tractors. There pickup trucks oh well what can I say . All we did on those tractors was maintenance. Construction company's and farmers bought those tractors. Great on fuel. Don't know why they stopped making them .Denis from Santa Rosa CA

Ford tractors were legendary, from the original black to gray to blue. My Grandfather's favorite, back in the 60's, out of all of the Farmall equipment on the farm, was his gray Ford tractor. It is obvious Kevin is jealous as you have a nice piece of equipment and history. You said it, he needs to bring along his General Mess of Crap (GMC) tractor to the race. Thank you Clint. It was also good to see Mrs. C&C in the video as well.

YOU ARE A GREAT DIESEL MECHANIC PROBABLY THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN AND I AM JUST A FARMER. IF YOU FILL THE FUEL TANK ON THOSE OLD FORD JAPANESE TRACTORS FUEL TANKS OVER HALF FULL THEY BLEED THEMSELVES.HAD A FEW OVER THE YEARS AND FOUND OUT THAT FROM THE OLD MECHANIC A THE LOCAL DEALER WHEN I WAS YOUNG

Was laughing all the way through the show love it.

Be careful with that tractor, I have a Shibaru 2234, it is the Japanese version of it. Ford never built it, they contracted Shibaru to build tractors for them. The front axle is weak, not the axle itself, the diff, if you have a good front axle it's worth more than the whole tractor.

Might not hurt to run it a few hours then change the oils again just to get all of that old junk flushed out good. Looks good other than the lack of maintenance it had.

I have found that with these little Japanese diesels, they must be pre heated when starting from cold.

Get randy back !send Mr, Kevin to the paint shop !🎱

Kevin discussed with the ford tractor and he's bought an el camino who's the wally I'd rather have the tractor sorry Kevin but I like blue stuff and 1715 is a nice little tractor 😊

Actually General Motors did make farm tractors they were short lived.

First of all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to y’all and your families too! I was amazed at how you got that Ford Tractor to come back to life! I guess it still has to have a little more T LC. But I can’t wait to see and hear how she really runs. Great work as always! I recommend y’all to make new what ever you touch!

more laughing then fixing. love it keep it up, it'll fit your yard fine

Great video 👍 Never thought i would see you guy's playing Top trumps about tractors etc😂😂

The bad part is most of the fun was at your expensse lol

Kevin was right, FORD = Found On Road Dead. Frequent Overall's and Rapid Depreciation . & Don't no one chime in with First On Race Day, we know that's a lie. The up grade to a Quick Attachment would be a very smart move. Plus, It would be another nice & quick Welding Project for Tucker.

That little tractor is actually in pretty good shape

A Ford guy with a wrench 🔧 in his hand. All right with the world

Pretty cool getting that Shibaura tractor going again. The only thing Ford about that tractors is the decals. The Japanese made the Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engines for many years too. I've learned a lot about dozers and tracked equipment on this channel but I do know a lot more about small to medium size tractors and that is a good one. My neighbor collects tractors and it also seems railroaders like to collect them too. I'm not certain about how much fluid goes into the front axle gear boxes but I would make sure the gears are at least just covered if you can see down into the boxes. Like it or not the Japanese make top notch equipment because they take great pride in their products. Every piece of equipment has it's quirks but I bet you hang on to that tractor for many years.

When you figure out how much oil the front outer hub needs make a note in the repair book for future use

Kevin great diagnosis as to why the :FORD" wouldn't start. LOL!!!!

That's a good tractor. On the outers. I just fill the oil to the bottom of the threads. Never had any issues

She sure started fast in that cold weather. Impressive!
