    Ford 1715 hydraulic pump

    Anybody know what the gpm is on these units? I'm finding conflicting numbers. Book say 6.16 tractor data says 9 something so I'm not sure which is correct. Also, would Tractor Supply travellers trans/hydraulic oil work well in that unit. I've read so many different opinions on the matter I no...

    Water in hydraulic oil

    Ya know Doc I didn't even think about them. I've used them back when I had my F350 just to keep track of that dern 6.0 diesel engine. That's a good idea!

    Water in hydraulic oil

    I was out looking at the oil today and I'm up in the air... I think it's water but not much but since it is fairly new oil I just cant tell if its cloudy or just starting to get used and some color to it... It has a slight cloudy appearance but the consistency is still good. I tell ya i just...

    Water in hydraulic oil

    I'm thinking I'm at 6 gal capacity and I would think you would run it for a couple of 10 min or so...

    Water in hydraulic oil

    Ive heard of filling with diesel or kerosene and draining but that sounds sketchy. Ive done the flush, run and drain before with oil on atv's after water ingestion but that hydraulic oil is costly and the filter is $60 I was hoping for a cheaper but still safe way to do it.

    Water in hydraulic oil

    I hope not to have to split it. The previous owner kept it under a roof and hopefully I'll have a lean-to built for it soon. So what's the common practice for flushing? The safest way to flush it?

    Water in hydraulic oil

    Well I've got another newbie question on my Ford 1715 for you guys. It looks like I've got a tiny bit of water in my transmission/hydraulic fluid. The guy I bought the tractor from had just changed the oil and filter before I bought it so it was nice, clear and clean but as time marches on I've...

    Front loader on Ford 1715

    I usually keep a 5' heavyduty box blade on the back but that's only worth around 450ish lbs plus the weight of the tires if I fill like you said so that may be enough for what I do.

    Front loader on Ford 1715

    I wish mine were hydrostatic but unfortunately it is a gear trans. I though about trading it in on a New Holland Boomer 30 but after trade I'll still owe roughly 13k where as the loader will cost me 5k so money wise the choice is simple but it sure would be nice not to have to fool with a clutch...

    Front loader on Ford 1715

    Hey folks I've got a few question if you have the time. I recently bought a 1995 ford 1715 2wd with turf tires and was wanting to add a loader to it. Ive been looking at a westendorf 111 but was wondering am I wasting my money adding a loader with those turf tires? According to my buddy I am...
