The Ford 1700 is two-wheel (2WD) or a four-wheel (4WD) compact utility tractor from the Hundred compact series, manufactured by Japanese company Shibaura for Ford brand from 1979 to 1982. The Ford 1700 tractor is equipped with two-cylinders Shibaura LE892 diesel engine with 1.3 L, 1,272 cc (77.7 cu-in) of displacement and gear shift transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears (three forward speeds, plus reverse, in four ranges).
The Ford 1700 tractor used a two-cylinder naturally-aspirated liquid-cooled indirect injection diesel engine Shibaura LE892, with 90.0 mm (3.54 in) of the cylinder bore and 100.0 mm (3.94 in) of the piston stroke. Compression ratio rating is 21.0:1. The LE892 engine produced 25.3 PS (18.6 kW; 25.0 HP) of gross horsepower. The power rating at PTO shaft is 23.7 PS (17.4 kW; 23.3 HP). The engine used dry air cleaner and pre-heating glow plugs.
This utility tractor is equipped with gear shift transmission with 12 forward (1.1-19.8 km/h, 0.7-12.3 mph) and 4 reverse (1.4-13.8 km/h, 0.8-8.6 mph) gears. The tractor used manual steering, differential mechanical drum brakes, and live type hydraulic system.
The 1700 tractor can use the following attachments:
- Mid-mount Ford 915 mower deck with 3-blades (cutting width: 1,520 mm (60 in.)
- Front-mount Ford 715 snow blower with hydraulic lift (clearing width: 1,520 mm (60 in.)
- Front-end loader Ford 770
- Backhoe Ford 757
- Backhoe Ford 758
The Ford 1700 used a rollover protection structure (ROPS) for operators. The tractor has a rear PTO shaft with 540 rpm, front PTO shaft was available as an option.
