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.

My dad still has one of these and uses it all the time for bush-hogging. Great old tractors. Good job it, Danny!

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 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.

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.

Great videos Danny.

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.

Great job, Daniel! You are amazing 👏

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.

Those years were great little ford tractors taken care of would run a long time

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!

The bolt next to the 3 injector lines on top of the pump requires 8fl/oz of engine oil every 50 hours.

So much joy from these old machines. They are fun.

You sir are a CHAMPION!!!!

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 🤔🤔🥴🥴

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 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.

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.

Danny boy...you are so awesome. Good job....cheers! 🍻

Good old Ford. Drove one for years

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.

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.

That poor battery charger... Kinda saw it coming. Great video though.

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.

Good little yard tractor.

Great job!, great deal for the money!.

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.

rain flooded my intake and locked the engine(diesel 2 cyl ford 1600). i turned the engine backwards with a wrench and when water sloshed back i soaked it up with a rag till no more water. engine turned fine and started, but mine was in running condition before the rain.

Don't forget about the crank bolt on front inside crank pulley!

Good luck with it. They were good tractor

The burn outs at the end!😁

You're a bit too crazy for my liking, but only you could get that cylinder unstuck. Good job !!

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.

I have an 83 1900 awesome tractor. Push the throttle lever forward

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

Wow that thing really came to life 🤣 and it wanted to STAY alive

Nice video, enjoy this kind of content….subscribed👍

No filter would be better than any fram.

great vid

Best to change all fluids

Tractor ate my shirt

Good find

500$ not bad even with junk engine. It has good tires and those front weights are 50$ each at least.

Perfect type of deal.

nice 30hp tractor

You might use a short peace of pvc pipe and cap to put over exhaust pipe

Had to be vapor/compression locked. No way it broke loose that fast with a little bit of vinegar.

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.

Might want to weld that crank pulley on, but good 👍 job

Tractor: That shirt was delicious BELCH!!!!! XD

Good job. You got a steal for $500.

Good deal danny

It's a Shibaura...

I have one of those tractors. Finding parts is almost impossible and very expensive.

Love it! What a good feeling! It is down hill now!!!!

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!

Very very good

That tractor was made by Shibauru in Japan. They made them for themselves as well.

Your douching the tractor. But in all seriousness I would not have thought about using vinegar. Good luck!

The oil lines on the injectors is for cooling them.

Keep it !

Genius. Subbed

That's an all right deal for 500 bucks.

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-

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

With what you gave for it, that tractor is worth an engine rebuild

Turn down throttle and shut off key.

where did it originally come from?

Why ain't the top of the engine oiling

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

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

Clutch sticks. Maybe running will clear this issue or it has to be investigated.

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

Most of them I get have stuck pistons and crank shaft bad That’s very expensive and most not worth fixing just parts supply

The weights alone are probably worth more than that and the wheels might fetch 3 or 4 times the puchase price.

Thank you for not filming yourself with your shirt off.

Tractor whit a351 in it power ful built ford tough

Is it shibura engine

Holy shit bro the longest video i think ever!!!

Water in the cylinders!!!! A full take down!

Was he wearing Crocs?lol.

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.

How NOT to work on a tractor, or 10 things you shouldn't do, by Thumbquadadon

Please learn to use a clutch and lower the revs ?

New sub ! Liked 🙂✌️❤️😬🙂😊

Great work boots. Smart😂

That was a good deal for $ 500 bucks.

"Marvin's Mystery Oil!" Gotta love stupid people!

🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

👍You stole that 1! Score! (SUBd)

You can free a stuck engine with heated up ATF, diesel, or Pepsi/Coke sitting in it for a week.

Throttle all the way up stops it I have the same one

Put hood down before moving

Oil pan full of vinegar and you crank and run it????

Never ever! Ever! Try to crank a siezed engine with the starter. Unless you want to replace all your rods.

Japanese tractor branded ford

Diesel tractors should not smell like gasoline.

IHI Shibaura

No matter how hard he tried. He couldn’t break it! Holy crap. Literally did everything wrong. I no longer believe in Darwin’s theory.
