They had everything I needed except the pickup tube. They were the best spot for compact tractor parts... and as you probably know, finding parts for this "domestic" FORD is very difficult... since nothing about the tractor was made in the US... so much for buy American. Good Luck....

Rebuilt FORD 1710 low oil pressure

I'm not the mechanic, but I know he has tried 3 different kind of pressure gauges, checked for blocks or kinks or suching air. I'm not sure about the hairline crack inb the pickup tube.

He used 30 weight oil for diesel. That is something I did wrong, when I changed the oil, I didn't realize there was different oil for diesel engines, so maybe that contributed to the throw rod.

I'm wondering if I use some of that Slick 50 type product, if I could run it at 27psi. The mechanic doesn't think the oil will get to the top of the engine.

I'm still wide open for suggestions and thanks for trying! jhaems

Trade you for my problem. We just rebuilt a 1710 and I can't get the oil pressure over 27psi. We also have checked everything 3 times.

For what it is worth... the operating spec for the 1710 is 37-57psi.

I was fascinated that the oil filter wasn't getting oil... I'm going to check that out again.

About 10-12 years ago I ordered the service manual for the tractor from somewhere... I assume it was a FORD/New Holland dealer. My mechanic said it was one of the best he has ever seen.

Good luck.

I have a Ford 1710 compact tractor with a 3 cylinder Shibaura diesel engine built between 1983 - 1986 (ID: XUL 00704; Model: AL3136; Unit: 305B; Engine: SN# H843 18754)<br>
<br>
The engine threw a rod through the side of the block. I got a used block that was mag tested, new crank, oil pump, bearings, etc. and we can not get the oil pressure above 27psi (spec is 37-57).<br>
<br>
We have consulted with numerous people for some reason that would account for the low pressure. We have tried everything anyone mentioned... so I think we've covered the obvious.<br>
<br>
Do you know anyone with experience rebuilding these engines? This is the third engine in this tractor and I'm wondering if there might be something unique about this engine that we don't know about. We had the Ford repair manual which was helpful, but not on this issue.
