Ford 1715 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Three-point hitch lifts slowly or won't lift, hydraulics groan and chatter at the pump
Check hydraulic oil level and inspect the suction pipe and fittings for air leaks; a milky, foamy filter bowl means the pump is pulling air. Replace the suction line O-rings and pump shaft seal, then torque the hydraulic pump bolts to 16-20 lbs. ft. (22-28 Nm) per page 351. Change the filter while you are in there.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System TroubleshootingBattery goes dead overnight, charge indicator lamp stays on with engine running
Test battery voltage and load-test it before blaming the alternator. Run the engine at rated speed and measure charging output; the alternator should produce 35 amps, spec on page 145. Clean and tighten the ground straps between engine and frame. Trace the indicator lamp circuit with the wiring diagram if output tests good.
Manual Section: Electrical System Troubleshooting p. 145Frequently Asked Questions
What is the torque specification for the cylinder head bolts on a Ford 1620 tractor?
The cylinder head bolts on the Ford 1620 tractor should be tightened to a torque specification of 65.1-68.7 lbs. ft. (88-94 Nm). p. 446
How do you fix ford 1720 diesel cranks but won't start after sitting, no fuel at injectors?
Open the fuel cock and bleed air at the filter and injection pump before condemning parts. Replace the fuel filter element if flow is weak. Pull the injectors and pop-test them; opening pressure on the 1720 is 2150 psi per page 81. Torque the injectors to 43-51 lbs. ft. on reinstall. p. 81
How do you fix engine overheats under load, coolant pushing out of overflow, temperature gauge in red?
Check coolant level cold; the system holds 5.6 liters. Pressure-test the radiator cap, it should hold 13 psi before venting. Inspect the fan belt and adjust until deflection measures 0.200 inch (5 mm) at mid-span, covered on page 51. Flush the radiator core if the fins are packed with chaff. p. 51
How do you fix engine starts then dies after a few seconds, stalls randomly under load?
Drain the fuel tank sump and sediment bowl to clear water and dirt, then replace the filter element and bleed the lines out to each injector. Test supply at the injection pump; oil flowing pressure should read 2.8 psi (0.2 kg/cm²) per page 87. Verify the fuel stop solenoid holds in the run position. p. 87
