Will it Start, $500 Seized tractor

1980 ford 1900 subcompact tractor 854 hours set 20 years water got in engine

[@inthelandofmilkandhoney457]

Really interesting…nothing more satisfying than getting something old and broken down running again. Great video 👍

[@donparker8246]

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.

[@DannysCam]

What attatchment did you use the most

[@whitefreeman5798]

such a great deal on a good little tractor.. glad it worked out for you and thanks for taking us along for the ride

[@DannysCam]

I'm gonna use her one day she's fun to drive

[@storeytwinb]

Great job, Daniel! You are amazing 👏

[@rotorcats]

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.

[@coffeeinthelibrary5391]

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

[@CrimsonThorns]

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

[@DannysCam]

Thanks brother

[@Globeglider]

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.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Globeglider: If you shift it to a high gear and pull it and pop the clutch after ya'll put a little oil in the cylinders. Like the injectors pulled out or glow plugs if it has them. Put hydraulic oil or transmission fluid in the cylinders. Don't be too rough by jamming it in gear after you get going. Just have it in 4th gear before starting. And if it doesn't turn over then try reverse while pulling it forwards. Not too fast or ya'll may break your transmission.

[@Globeglider]

I have now got her running. It was a mess. It had run dry of oil. The bearings were melted to the crank! I did a backyard journal polish and put in new bearings. Rebuilt the diesel pump and put in new injectors. All seems good now.@@PaulHigginbothamSr

I'm gonna make a list I'm gonna order the lift seals get her in tiptop shape I kinda want to keep her

[@hobman]

Japan powered....

[@mikescaffo4850]

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

[@DannysCam]

I like it so far

[@hobman]

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.

[@DannysCam]

Man thinks for the info, there's a lever on the left side if your sitting on the tractor, on the side of the transmission it seems to like the the clutch engaged befor it moves feels like it has 2 positions down and up, couldn't figure what it does, I ordered the lift seal because of it randomly working, is aw46 ok to use for the transmission or what's best

[@wkualum3194]

@@DannysCam I have a new 3 point if you are interested

[@ajcz]

Use a good tractor fluid for the hydraulics, I use Mobil delvac Tractor fluid. Or the new holland tractor fluid. Don’t use that super cheap j20 junk from the tractor store

[@johnjohnson9093]

Good little yard tractor.

[@rocksandoil2241]

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.

[@chrisnoeske8904]

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.

[@willevans1471]

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

[@DannysCam]

Thanks for the heads up how much do I add

[@wkualum3194]

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.

[@DannysCam]

You did good I like a good flip

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

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 🤔🤔🥴🥴

[@DannysCam]

Good point older equipment can be dangerous

[@user-ph2tm7nx5o]

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.

[@DannysCam]

I love them old tractors alot of the engineering was better in my opinion,

[@bawhjth]

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.

[@DannysCam]

What model is yours was that what you used to unload them beams

[@DannysCam]

I liked yours what model is it

[@bawhjth]

@@DannysCam 3000. It's a 1967. I think it's running on 2 cylinders at this point - it might be a broken lifter (hopefully), or it might be something further down (I hope not). trying to finish the cabin without it, but the plan is to eventually clean it up and fix it. good tractor.

[@bt6195]

This is a diesel tractor, they don't have a choke. Just shut off the throttle

[@steveashworth6707]

Great job!, great deal for the money!.

[@t.c.bowling1934]

The burn outs at the end!😁

[@DannysCam]

All day

[@jeffpinion7382]

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.

[@jeffpinion7382]

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

[@rustymaggot]

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.

[@jackweeks8099]

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.

[@DannysCam]

Honestly I don't want to sell her something feels special and driving a tractor sounds like you got a good deal

[@mikewilliams2072]

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

[@DannysCam]

Thank you

[@42lookc]

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.

[@DannysCam]

Thanks I got 2 more tractors for scrap price stay tuned gonna do a will it start on them

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

[@philliphall5198]

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

[@TF856]

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.

[@paulgrae6120]

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

[@mikewilliams2072]

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!

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Good job. You got a steal for $500.

[@DannysCam]

I told my self it probably was gonna be yard art I never had so much luck with a stuck engine makes me want to seek out other stuck engines and try vinegar

[@philliphall5198]

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

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

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

[@alexdeglavina1412]

[@brianpulliam47]

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

[@DannysCam]

My right wheel gets stuck alot rocking helps

[@brandonstutts90]

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

[@DannysCam]

I was amazed to but once I saw the vinegar level go down I knew it got past the rings so I gave it a try and it spun

[@thesmallenginekid]

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

That was my thought process plus I thought hell it could be yard art
