The Ford 1310, 1510, and 1710 tractors are part of Fordβs reliable βTen Compact Series,β built by Shibaura in Japan during the 1980s. These compact diesel tractors were designed for versatility in small farm operations, landscaping, and utility applications. With engine outputs ranging from 19 hp in the 1310 to 26 hp in the 1710, they combine fuel efficiency, rugged construction, and dependable performance in a compact, easy-to-operate platform.
The Ford 1310 is powered by a 1.0L 3-cylinder diesel delivering around 19 hp net and 16.5 hp PTO, while the 1510 steps up with a 1.1L diesel producing approximately 22 hp net and 19.5 hp PTO. The 1710, the strongest of the group, uses a 1.4L diesel engine with 26 hp net and 23.5 hp PTO. All models feature 12-speed gear transmissions (unsynchronized or partially synchronized), open-center hydraulics with pump flows between 6.4 and 7.8 gpm, and Category I three-point hitches. Rear lift capacities range from 1,432 lbs on the 1310/1510 up to 1,575 lbs on the 1710, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of implements.
Compact yet powerful, these tractors weigh between 2,063 and 2,690 lbs depending on configuration, with wheelbases of 63 inches and fuel capacities of 6.9β7.7 gallons. Tire configurations vary across models but generally include 4-12 to 5.00-15 fronts and 8.3-24 to 11.2-24 rears. With optional 2WD or 4WD drivetrains, the 1310, 1510, and 1710 are adaptable to varied terrain and operating conditions.
The comprehensive repair manual covers all systems for these models. Key sections include engine and fuel system servicing, electrical system, clutch and transmission, power take-off, hydraulic system, rear axle and brakes, steering system, wheels and tires, and tractor separation procedures. The manual also provides exploded component diagrams, wiring schematics, lubrication charts, torque specifications, and troubleshooting guides to ensure accurate servicing and long-term reliability.
