Ford 1320 Tractor Troubleshooting
The
Ford 1320 is a 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive compact utility tractor. This
model was manufactured from 1987 to 1998. The Ford 1320 tractor is powered by
77.3 cubic inches Shibaura J823 3-cylinder liquid cooled diesel engine with a
rated power of 19 hp (14.2 kw) at 2500 rpm.
The Ford 1320 is fitted with 2 types of transmission. Type 1: gear
transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears. Type 2: two-range
hydrostatic transmission with infinite forward and reverse gears. The
maximum forward speed - 10.2 mph (16.4 km/h), max. reverse speed - 7.2
mph (11.6 km/h).
The open center hydraulic system used a gear pump with a rated capacity
of 6.4 gpm (24.2 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 147 bar (2130 psi). The
2WD models are equipped with 6.50-10 front tyres and 12.4-16 rear tyres.
The 25x8.50-14 front tyres and 13.6x16 rear tyres fit 4WD tractors. The
wheel base is 63" (1600 mm). Compatible attachments for the Ford 1320
tractor: a 60" mid-mount mower deck, 78" front-mount blade, 63"
front-mount snow blower, Ford 7108 front end loader, and Ford 757B
backhoe.
