Ford 1715 Tractor Specifications

Complete factory specifications for the Ford 1715 compact utility tractor, transcribed from the specifications section of the Ford New Holland 1715 operator's manual. Built from 1992 to 1997 by Shibaura in Japan and sold under the Ford badge, the 1715 is a three-cylinder diesel compact offered in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive — and where the two variants differ (steering, dimensions, tires, wheel torques), the tables below list both side by side. Specifications cover the engine, capacities, cooling, electrical, fuel, clutch, brakes, steering, PTO, hydraulic lift, tires, torques, factory lubricant part numbers, and ground speeds.

Notes:
1. Minor typographical errors in the source document's labels (e.g., "Firing Oredr," "Stating Moter," "Tow-Wheel Drive") have been corrected editorially; all specification values are transcribed as printed.
2. The source prints the two-wheel drive front wheel tread metric value as "995–1050 cm," an apparent unit error — 39.2–41.3 in. converts to 99.5–105.0 cm (995–1,050 mm). Corrected here with disclosure.
3. The factory ground speed chart gives mph values graphically with a km/h axis; the km/h figures in the table above are editorial conversions of the printed mph values, rounded to one decimal.
