Ford 1510 Tractor Specifications

Specs Hub › Ford › 1510

Complete specifications for the Ford 1510 compact tractor, transcribed from the specifications section of the factory operator's manual (SE4067B). The 1510 sits between the 1310 and the 1710 in Ford's 10-series compact range, with a 68.16 cu. in. three-cylinder Shibaura diesel and a twelve-speed transmission. Steering was offered as manual or with hydraulic power assist, and the hydraulic pump capacity differs between those two configurations — both figures are given below.

Notes:
1 The manual prints “disesl” in this note; spelling normalised. Page references are to the operator's manual, not to this page.
2 The manual presents ground speeds as a bar chart rather than a table. The values above are the endpoint figures printed on that chart at 1400 and 2800 rpm — they are transcribed, not measured from the graph.
All specifications transcribed from the specifications section of the Ford 1510 operator's manual, manual code SE4067B. The manual carries both the Ford Tractor Operations and Ford New Holland, Inc. imprints. Ford reserved the right to change specifications without notice; verify against your tractor's serial number before ordering parts or setting clearances.
