I realize this does not deal with a pre-1975 tractor, but wonder if someone could help or perhaps point me in the direction of a message board/internet site that might be able to help. I am going to look at a used 1985 Ford 1510, 4wd, loader, 1400 hours on it. Is 1400 hours anywhere close to the engine's life expectancy? I intend to use it to load horse manure, sand, gravel, and snow; no heavy earthmoving work necessarily. I have a 1979 1500 now, with only 540 hours, and am going to trade it in. What would be the best way to test the hydraulics? Fill the bucket with something heavy and then turn the engine off and see if the bucket drops? Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please copy me an email if you do not mind. Thanks, David

If this 1510 doesn't have power steering, pass on it and find a loader tractor that does. There is just no sense in making a big investment in something you will fight with every time you drive it. Not many had P/S. Otherwise, they are good little tractors, and a properly maintained one with 1400 hrs should give many more hours with minimal repairs. I would expect it to need a clutch soon, if it hasn't already had one. Good Luck, and remember this tractor is 14 years old, and stuff does happen.
