tabmodels Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 30 minutes ago, miker said: i can get my head round how the steering,brakes etc work on this, but what about gear shifting/ratio, is it like the old select o speed on the 4000/5000,s ?? Good question Mike, never got close enough to one to have a good look, I always thought gear selection might be cable operated, I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Same with a doe, there is a obviously some mechanism ? that replicates gear selection front to back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Does first used link rods and then master and slave cylinders to select the front unit gears from the back, maybe the FC 1174 used hydraulic actuators? Any information I can find on the cab mentions the use of Bowden cables, but doesn't specify if these were used to select gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Gear selection is with rods, uj's and levers to a different gear change cover, operating mechanism enters through the off side of the gear change cover, does not operate via cut off gear sticks. Bowden cables are for PTO, Spool Valves, if fitted, HPL, again if fitted and Dual Power operation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabmodels Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 33 minutes ago, prickles said: The cab was positioned fully offset to the right to enable the rod linkages operating the standard Ford 7700 side mounted gear selectors to be operated in a straight line, the gear levers in cab to the drivers left- the linkage s ran straight alongside the righthandside of the tractor. Clutch and brakes operated via master and slave cylinders and steering was fully hydrostatic via danfoss steering orbital unit. All other controls correctly identified by Super6 top man. Excellent Nick, thanks for that, it all makes perfect sense now. It really was well designed around the available Ford skid unit. Just need some close up pics of those linkages now!

Tractorman810 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 so which came first then ? the 1004 or the 1174 versions, to me the 1004 looks a lot more refined cab wise and more usuable design wise that the 1174. i have a feeling i remember seeing the lime spreader 1174 one a few years back out south devon way . there was a guy who farmed a fair size area using countys,inc one with a front loader , doing all his gras etc on some pretty steep land, i did have pics of them which i posted on here some time back, 5/6countys on a hill at prob 25 degrees steep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
