ford 4610

I'm looking at 1985 4610 mfwd syncromesh. I'd much prefer the constant mesh tranny as thats what I've already got with my 5000 and 5600. What are folks experiences with that transmission? Everything seems good, it has the H pattern column shifter and not the "Rubik's" shifter. Are there any...

Due to injury to both shoulders, climbing up on my tractor has become an issue. I’m trying to minimize any additional injury. I’ve been using a wooden bench as a step up. Then kick it out of the way. Getting down from the tractor is not much of an issue. Anyway I decided to fabricate an extra...

I went to Pennsylvania for 3 weeks. When I got back my place really needed brush hogging. So I went to the barn to get the tractor and the battery was totally dead. Strange because it is relatively new. Anyway, I removed it, charged it, tested and reinstalled it. When I went to get on the...

Hi All I have a loader for my refurbed Ford 4610 and I'm now starting to refurb. I want to add pallet forks to increase usability on the farm. When I'm looking for forks, what type of connection / fitting do I need when talking to suppliers? Its not a power steering model so I image a heavy...

Hi, I have a 1982 Ford 4610 3-cyl diesel tractor that came with a front end loader (Ford 776A Loader). The previous owner damaged the two lift cylinders and they may not be repairable. The OEM replacement cylinders are pricey from the dealership. I would imagine you can buy brands other than...

I just got my Ford tractor. I’m not sure if it’s considered vintage or not but I’m looking for a good manual on it. My diesel pump is leaking and I need to be able to repair it myself. The I&T manuals I have found are for pre-1984. Any idea on where I can find a good manual for a 1986?

Evening TBN. In the process of closing on 80 acres, about 30 of which will need to be mowed until we build there in 5 years or so. Property is about 45 minutes away I currently have a 1960 Ford 861 with a 6' mower and a 2019 Kubota BX23S with a 4' mower. Was probably going to trailer the...

I just got a 1981 Ford 4610 3-Cylinder tractor without a cab. Previous owner removed ignition switch and was "hot wiring" it to start it. Been working on figuring out the switch and what connects to what with wiring diagram, multimeter and continuity tester. Just posting this hoping it may help...

So my left rear link has got to where it won't stay engaged. It pops out to the extended position when using almost any implement now. Has anyone else had this happen? I took them both apart to see what is going on. The lock pin on the left side has a noticeable amount of wear over the right...

I just got this Ford 4610 3-cylinder diesel tractor. It has wiring issues from previous owner - they removed the ignition switch. Also have some questions about operating it. The PTO lever. All the tractors I have operated before have a clutch for the PTO. I'm not sure if this tractor has a...

I have a ford 4610 with the deluxe rear remotes and auxiliary engine mounted hydraulic pump. I currently have my loader plumbed into the rear remotes but looking to upgrade the loader controls to a more forward mount (joystick or twin stick TBD) and free up the rear remotes to use with a top and...

Hello all, I would like to know points to look for on a Ford 4610 or 6610 4X4 FEL. That is what are the common problem areas on these tractors? For example,Does the manifold have a drip hole to let water out so the water does not get into the head? I spotted one 3 years ago and it appeared...

I wanted to share a recent experience with my 1989 Ford 4610 FWD: For the past five years or so I've had a very slow power steering fluid leak. I could see a very small amount of fluid dripping down the shaft under the steering wheel and I've always thought the top seal was going bad since...

I知 trying to figure out what temperature my tractor is supposed to be running at?? When I am mowing in thick grass for about 10 minutes the gauge reaches the red line. I used an ir temp gun and the top of the radiator and thermostat housing ts around 205-215. Bottom of the radiator at the...

I have this old (new to me) 4610 I’m going through and not sure what I’m looking at here. Browsing parts diagrams online hasn’t helped either I believe it to be an auxiliary belt driven hydraulic pump since there are 2 flares fittings but nothing is connected to it. I also have the...

I have a Ford 4610 4WD that I am trying to mount an old GB loader to. This tractor never had a loader so I want to make sure the mount points are sufficient. Are any of these ok for the mid mount on the loader? What I would like to do is use the first upper mounting locations where the cab is...

I have a Ford 4610 deisel with a power steering leak at the steering column. I am going to start by replacing the upper seal. The manual talks about using a gear puller to take the steering column off. From the diagram, it looks like I will need a puller with pretty long arms. Not sure how...

Hi everyone, I am a new poster here but have been reading the forums for several years. I am hoping some of you smart guys can help me with a few questions. A few years ago I bought a 1983 Ford 4610 with about 3200 hours. It is definitely a project tractor and I am currently in the process...

Does the transmission use gear oil or is it utf that meets the ford 134 requirements? Also the rear diff uses the 134 fluid correct? Thanks again

I have a 1985 ford 4610 that hasn’t been run much over the last year or two. I was using it today and i reved it up to about 2000 rpm and now it is stuck there. It will not idle down. I pulled the fuel shut off lever after a couple minutes to kill the engine. The throttle linkage is moving...

Hi there. I have been renovating a Ford 4610 and after completing all the engine and electrics refurbs I drained and replaced hydraulic oil, filters and rebuilt the control valve with new Ford seals and 'O' rings. This tractor has taken alot of time to get back into good condition and I am...

The voltage regulator on our 1981 Ford 4610 went out on us and overcharged the battery,ruining it. I went to our local auto electric shop and the owner had a voltage regulator that attached directly to the existing alternator and made the connection with it. The only thing I had to do was to get...

I shorted the alternator output lead and the entire tractor is electrically dead. Where is the fusible link located? I have the Ford shop manual, not even a mention of it. It shows up on the wiring diagram between the alternator and the battery (big help)! the alternator out put wire is buried...

Need help with my 1985 Ford 4610. Had coolant leaking into the crankcase. Thought it was a bad head gasket. Turns out I have a leak in one of the cylinder walls. This model does not have sleeves. Can the the block be bored to accept a sleeve or will I need to buy a new block? A new block...

Dear all, Quick question, regarding a Ford 4610 II this time. Basically, what lube's and oils go where, and how much? Where are the drain holes, level indicators, etc? Particularly interested in the rear at this point, as it seems the hydraulics may share oil with the diff? Edit: Should...

I have searched but I was not able to find much info on the Ford 4610 tachometer cable. So I write this post. It may help someone. The first time I replaced the tach cable it was an easy thing. Disconnect at the tach drive and the tach instrument. Then just remove and replace. This next go...

I need to replace the fuel filters on my 1989 ford 4610 diesel tractor. I can see the part number on the filter on the right but the part number has worn off the filter on the left. I was told that they are different filters with different parts numbers and that the filter on the left is to...

I have an 84 Ford 4610 diesel. Does it have a fuse block? I am in the process of painting it and painted the fenders and reinstalled tonight. None of the lights worked but I was getting voltage to the plugs so figured it was a bad ground because of all the paint on the fenders. I ran a...

Hi, greetings from Norway :) I have a Ford 4610(May, 1984) that I bought a couple of years ago. It had a defective tachometer wire from day 1 that I recently fixed. After this I have a perception that it does not go "well" at 1800-2000 RPM. It is difficult to explain, engine runs smooth but...

I went to start the engine and saw smoke coming from starter area. Visual inspection did not reveal anything. So I tried starting again and could hear starter still engaged. The solenoid may have stuck in the on position. I cut off the fuel to the engine but starter kept engine turning over. I...

I am looking at purchasing this tractor, but don't know which 4610 it is. Can someone help identify it? It says SU on the side, but looks like LCG tires. Thank you.

I am looking at three tractors to mow about 60 acres with a brush hog. A Ford 4610 3.3 liter diesel with 1800 hours for $4800, a Deere 1250 2.3 liter diesel with 5500 hours for $4000, or a International 464 with 2.9 liter gas and 1300 hours for $3000. All have gear transmissions. I am leaning...

I bought the tractor last year and have been very happy with it. However, the power steering has had a slight leak from the start and I'm hoping for some help getting it fixed. First question: The repair manual that I ordered states that my 4610 should have a single drop arm, power assist...

As the title states the lift or pick up arms will leak down and you aren't able to set at a constant height. Any thoughts?

I have an addition to the fleet, a 1986 Ford 4610. I took a ride to look at it yesterday and decided I had to buy it today. I bought it from the original owner (still had bill of sale from May 1986) and he told me about the day he purchased it, pretty cool. 2400 hours on the clock, rears are...

I found a local CL add for a Wallenstein Chipper/Shredder BX92r. Says it has <10 hours on it. Pictures aren't great, but it does show hydraulic feed. $5500 OBO. First question - will my 4610 handle it? Online it says minimum hp is 65. 4610 is 62 and that's not at the PTO. Second question, fair...

Looking for ideas on this. Engine cranks very fast but has a slight miss sensation that translates to vibration around 1600 rpms. I replaced injectors but didn't change anything. Does this sound like a pump or timing issue?

First post on here and also my first tractor although I've been around farms all my life. The tractor is a 1989 Ford 4610 with a Westendorf TA-25 loader. 3500 hours, but it was used for most of its life on a golf course to mow with and has been kept inside. Good maintenance records and it looks...

I've been having a starter problem for a while now. I get a nothing or a click then nothing while trying to start. This was intermittent as the problem would clear itself. Thursday it happened again and I decided to fix it for good. This time it did not clear itself. I tapped the starter...

ok i have started the process to try and get a v5 (not sure if you have it in US but here in the UK it is basically the document that shows that you own the vehicle etc and is a legal requirement for road driving and you need it to insure and tax) and it wants the VIN,chassis or frame number...

I can't get the drain plug to come out. Should I heat it or will I just start the whole thing on fire?!! If I can't get the plug out where is the next best place to drain the fluid?

I have never owned a diesel. I want to change the engine oil in my 1984 Ford 4610. Where do I refill it at? And don't say the the dipstick hole:laughing:

Hello, I have just bought a Ford 4610 with a local New Zealand quick connect loader on it. Went to remove the loader today. Probably the first time in 10 or more years at a guess and the hose for the loader in the rear remote will not release. There seemed to be no collar under the dust...

My 4610 SU currently has one set of remotes and a selector valve that allows me to either use the remotes or the 3 point hitch. I plan on hooking up a joystick that would allow me to operate two sets of double acting cylinders. Of course, one option would be to take the two lines coming out of...

I am adding aux. hyds to a 1984 4610. I put on an adapter plate and ran hoses to a single spool valve.The plate is stamped with a"P" for pressure side.I hooked it to "in"port on spool valve.I hooked it up to a batwing rake.I had to kill the tractor because I had fluid pressure on one hose,but...

I bought a 1984 ford 4610 2 wheel drive at auction.It doesn't turn sharp at all like normal tractor .If I screw out the steering arm it's just gonna turn sharper one way and less the other (I think).The other #'s by the serial # is 4H275 and DA314C which I guess one is the model#.I think it must...

I bought a ford 4610 at auction that came from a county road dept. I've found out there is 3 models of this tractor.One model is "highway". I think this might be mine as it does not turn sharp at all. Is there a way to fix this or modify it to turn like a regular tractor.any help thanks.

My neighbor has a 4610, and we're trying to fix a leak on the top of the steering box. We replaced the top seal twice, and the shaft looks good. On closer inspection, the fluid is not leaking around the seal but out of some holes in the splined part of the shaft where a pin goes through it...

I have a Ford 4610 with an Allied loader. The single rear remote runs the loader, I keep the remote lever tied back to run the loader, or return it to the center to use the three point lift. I bought a transport disc and a hydraulic cylinder today. Are the connections from the tractor to the...

Hey Everyone, just reaching out to see if others have more experience with this tractor than I do. We picked up a 84 Ford 4610 2900 hours with a disclosed head gasket problem from the seller as there are a few drips of coolant coming out from the gasket area. It was such a good clean unit with...

Well, I thought I finally had my 4610 in good running condition ( prior history: Burned Valve, Piston Issue), but a new problem developed this week. I was mowing with a rotary cutter and thought I had run out of fuel - the fuel gauge is not very reliable and I should have fueled up before...

Any idea why back lift only works at very high rpm? Have changed filters and that had no effect.

I have just swapped my trusty and rusty 4600 for a 4610. I need to sort out various niggles (like a fuel gauge that doesn't work - you can't see down the filler like you could on the 4600 - and various lights that don't work). I have a couple of basic manuals for the 4600 and 4610 before 1984...

A couple of months ago I bought what I believe to be around a 1988 - 1990 (still have not located s/n) Ford 4610. Both my brother and I took it for a test spin and did not notice any problems with the engine; it sounded good to us. When the tractor was delivered and I hooked it up a my...

I have a Ford 4610 Tractor for which I was never given the manual by the previous owner. Is there an electronic copy I cana print or does any one have one they do not need or how can I get one. Many thanks and regards Ikebal

I have an 88' Ford 4610 with dual rear SCVs. One or more of the outlets are leaking and I need to know if they can be rebuilt or serviced. Here is the pic of the unit. It has the numbers 26-05-052-901 stamped in the casting. Any info about this is greatly appreciated.

I need some advice on a muffler for my Ford 4610. The existing muffler does not have any holes in it but is extremely loud. You may not think that is a bad thing but when you mow for 3 or 4 hours at high RPM it can be a pain. I don't know if the current muffler is the right one or just a...

I bought a Ford 4610 last week and am having trouble locating the serial number. The tractor has been repainted and the ID plate on the inside of the hood is missing. Per TractorData.com and a local New Holland dealer the number should be stamped on the front right transmission cover. Below...

I need a little direction on where to start looking why my thp will not work. I got this tractor after it sat for years on end. I had to get the motor rebuilt and am in the process of cleaning and painting the rest. The motor runs great now but I can't get the hitch arms to move. I have a front...

I posted a thread headed "quick drop valve" but the issue is my 4610 TPH will not move. Do the hoses going to the loader have to be hooked up for the TPH to work. The pto works fine and I changed the hydraulic/diff filter. I have a valve on top of the diff center in front of the seat that is...

I bought a 4610SU a couple of years ago. The rear tire tracking was similar to this 4610 this when I bought mine: When I put new tires on it, I experimented with the rim/center disc combinations to get the tracking dimension smaller. I ended up with this as the best I could do without...

Hey guys new to the forum but have been reading awhile I have a problem with my power steering. It's leaking like crazy where the arm connects to shaft on the left side of the tractor. I think it's the seals that are in there but I unscrewed the large nut but can't get the arm to come off and...

Is there a way to soften the hydraulic engagement of the PTO on a FORD 4610 with independent PTO, keep shearing rotary cutter shear pins.

I would like to have some more length on my front wheels. Don稚 need much to center up the front wheels with the back wheels. The back wheels rims are reversed and are at a wide track. The front wheels are running on line with the inside track of the back wheels. It looks like if I reverse...

The fuel gauge does not work. The needle stays at or below the empty mark with the off. When you turn on the key the needle will move passed the empty mark. Took the instrument panel/gauges out and the wire from the sending unit to the fuel gauge was good. Checked all connections and had...

Well I been looking for a bigger tractor and everything that I looked at has been high dollar junk. So yesterday I purchased a Ford 4610 with a Big Bee L660 bush hog and a New Holland 56 hay rake for $8,250.00. The tractor has around 1660 hours, sheet metal is straight and the tires are 85%...

Found a Ford 4610 w/6' foot bush hog yesterday. It has 1662 hours and runs good. It is the 1984 model. Body is in good shape, tires are 85%, and the bush hog has not been used much. The price is $8,800.00 for the package. The price on the net is all over the place for the 4610. Good price...

Hi I have a Ford 4610 II that has oil coming out of the middle of the steering wheel. I bought a new seal and changed it but after a few hour of operation the leak started again. I am not a mechanic and I don't have the shop manual for the tractor so it seems that my common sense is not enough...

I just acquired a Ford 4610 3 cylinder diesel. This came our of an estate sale and has sit for approximately 1 year. I find that it is extremely hard to start in temperatures <20 degrees F? Any suggestions or ideas? It will eventually start but takes too much cranking. Thanks

I bought a 1984 Ford 4610su last spring and serviced everything except the hydraulic fluid and filter. I have been pricing fluid and there is a broad spectrum in price. I didn't get a service manual with the tractor and haven't been able to find one to even know how much fluid is required. Is...
