You guys have to know that’s a Yanmar! They were the same machine basically since the late 70s/early 80s! Things you don’t do with them, is run them out of fuel, unless you like to bleed the system from tank forward, you don’t fck around with the air filters, use the right stuff & the right washers! Also, don’t slip the clutch! Because they can get burnt up in less then 50hrs on them, with a moron running it!
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.
Definitely NOT FERD!!! Possibly FURD (albeit the first letter needs amending?), or even go with the original acronym of FORD - (F'd Over Rebuilt Dodge). Don't forget to keep the axles filled up with coolant!!! You don't want those puppies to overheat!
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
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.
Keeping a equipment inside of at least under cover certainly helps keep equipment in much nicer condition for much longer time and more importantly it prevents you from getting a wet ass in the morning and or after a rain or snow shower. I don’t know about you but I hate getting my ass wet unless there is a damn good reason. Have a great day and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
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!!
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.
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!!!! ❤️😂😁
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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... ;-)
It's illegal for USA TH-camrs to run the glow plugs for as long as it takes for them to work. The starter motor windings are the ones that are supposed to be glowing white hot instead, from cranking for a full minute
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.
@@erik_dk842 fuels dry and leave a film on the machined pieces. In order for oil to get into the surface to do its job correctly, you have to remove that film, with acetone, MEK or alcohol. and no bare hands should touch clean steel as it leaves a sweat film that will rust the parts. as a reference , the room they rebuild roller bearings in at a plant is cleaner that an operating room.
@@91rss OK. To recap: If you use diesel or gasoline to clean parts, you need to remove the residue of said fuel with Acetone, to allow the oil to react with the machined surfaces.
You never know this could be the next big thing C&C farm equipment division 😀 lol

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 😊
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.
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!
Kevin, The Canada version of Excalibur is just X, cuz it usta have rocker panels and it usta have floor pans and undercarriage, but it dont no mo.😂 Thanks for the laughs everybody, this one was definitely a group effort. 🤣😂🤙
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.
USA TH-camrs prefer the windings in the starter motor to be glowing white hot. "Something must be wrong with the engine" "Glow plugs are just cheating" "I did use glow plugs" - for all of 3 seconds like on a 2020 direct injection engine.
FYI Clint, In 1918, GM bought a factory in Janesville, Wis., and incorporated the Janesville Machine Co. to build the GMC Samson tractor. GMC put a four-cylinder 4-3/4-by-6-inch engine in the Sieve-Grip, rated it a 12-25 horsepower, and put it on the market at $1,750.
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
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 .
Clint stick with John Deere, on the farm here in the UK in the late 90’s someone we new bought a brand new Ford Tractor with the dynamic transmission and it blew up the gearbox at under 100 hours. The farms JD 2130 that was 20+ years old still purred like a kitten and could do a hard days work if needed (it was in retirement)
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.
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.
no plastic no programing no bs, miss those days
Let the glow plug heat for 30 seconds not 15
Never mind the tractor....The banter was the highlight...
I look forward to C&C Equipment videos every day.
I enjoyed you doing a small tractor. It's cool seeing something that an average DIYer might do
Clint class paint it please make it look new it deserves paint it’s a tidy little piece
@@vernonhuey5885bleed it
My thoughts exactly! Most of us dream or wish for a big dozer but a small tractor is the reality for most. It’s fun to watch them do it all.
For $4500 that’s a super deal. Of course the cost of Kevin’s unrelenting torment must be factored in too.
"Priceless."
What I like about the 1715 Ford Tractor is that there is a lot of metal. Still a solid built piece of machinery.

Shiabura. Not yanmar
Clint, you should talk to Captain Kleeman about the quick attach, he will get you fixed right up 🤔😉
Mmmmm. Bucket, forks, grappler. And that's just on the front end. You'd have quite a machine there.
You are winning with the tractor. I am very glad that it worked out for you.
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!

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.
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

We need a C&C crew video cover of “She thinks my tractor’s Sexy”, maybe in Christmas attire
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.
I have had a 1710 and it was a great tractor.!Traded it in on a 1920, completely rehabilitated it and use it year around!
We have pulled some massive Elm logs with out old 79. Ford tractor. She's quite the lady. Loud strong and obnoxious!!😂😂
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!!!! ❤️😂😁
I never lost faith in the ol FERD,
Model A, 9N Tractor and this 1715 all have about the same level of technology. Not a bad thing, they all do the job!
Not counting the diesel parts

Here in the UK 🇬🇧 my ex-husband, car mechanic, used to say that FORD stood for Fix Or Repair Daily 😂😂😂
Yes on quick attach.
Kevin, as usual, makes the show. Randy adds to it. It is great that all interactions are great.
All I want for Christmas is a quick attach video on the Ford 1715! Great video gentlemen.
Clint , Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you all your family and friends from Mississippi
That Lil tractor will probably outlast a new one!

Randy to the RESCUE.....!
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 😄
No! Clean it good w/ polish and toych up the rust, Let it ride!
Would he need primer toncover that blue with proper green?
Randy shine it up and you can take it home to Mrs B!
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.
Paint the bucket blue and give it a bath!!
Bingo bango bongo, it's alive.
I Have Had Good Luck With Mine It Is A Cold Blooded Tractor For Sure Have Fun
That's Santa's little Ford tractor, right there. Even if it's blue....
That’s a nice little Ford tractor is like to find one like that with all metal instead of cheap plastic 👍
Great video watching both of you ???over ford #1
Quick adaption would make it more versatile and I'd love to see it
Great video… Make folks with adapters too
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!
I say 3 days suspension without pay who knocked the little Ford tractor😂😂
More videos on the little Ford tractor 👍
it is about time that you guys got some quality Blue paint in the shop. please keep up the good work.
Quality blue paint would be a GREAT idea... But C&C got a Ford instead...
I like the variety of doing a tractor for a change. Try something else now.
That's a good tractor. On the outers. I just fill the oil to the bottom of the threads. Never had any issues
Yessiree.., “she’s a beaut” Clinton. That little unit will run forever.
Great video,
Thank you sir.

Gotta love the Ted Everett auction! Been going with my uncle and father since I was a little kid. Also enjoy a good Gray Brothers lunch
I have found that with these little Japanese diesels, they must be pre heated when starting from cold.

Enjoy the video on the little Ford they are good little tractor ❤
You really need to find a small backhoe attachment for this!!!! Such a cool tractor.
This is one of my favorite videos. You should do more tractors!
That is a SCORE!
Enjoying your videos. fyi The fenders have adjustment so they can move in and out with the wheels.

Pro Tip : How to get the squeak out of your concrete floor. Lubricate, lubricate, lubricate!
Fill to the top of the hole on the axel hubs
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.
That oil ... lol ..baked just right!! Coffees on guys!1 Cheers!;-)!!
I hear that Captain Kleeman is an expert with installing quick attachments. Nah, seriously thanks for the vids and Merry Christmas to you all.
Yeah. We needa see a quick change bucket mod done.
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.
This style of glow plugs don't do anything for the first ten seconds, and the injectors needed bleeding
Excellent guys luv it cheers 🥂 😊
I have the FORD 1920 model very similar to yours. I love mine...very handy for small jobs.
I had a used 2110 Ford compact tractor and it was the biggest Turd. That one you got is definitely a Gem.
Add a $ in one bucket /can clamp onto logs for firewood and such
I wish I could click twice.. a quick attach would be perfect,,, cnc plasma cutting and welding...
This little tractor is sooo cute that Clint developed fatherly feelings for it. 😂😁😜🤟
Kevin great diagnosis as to why the :FORD" wouldn't start. LOL!!!!
Fixing the rims make less tipsy so right thing to do
Right there at the end, I do believe I saw a prospective buyer looking that Ford over rather closely 🙂
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.
Fix or repair daily
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.
Yes good video
Those small ford's were tough machines, I had one
