Ford 5610 Tractor Troubleshooting
The
Ford 5610 is a 2WD or 4WD utility tractor. This model was manufactured from 1982
to 1993. The Ford 5610 is powered by 256 cubic inches (4.22 L) Ford four stroke
4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with operating power of 72 hp (53.7 kW)
at 2100 rev/min.
The Ford 5610 tractor is equipped with 4 types of transmission. Type 1:
8x2 Dual-range gear transmission. Type 2: 8x4 synchromesh transmission.
Type 3: 16x4 partial power shift transmission. Type 4: 16x8 synchromesh
partial power shift transmission.
Max. forward speed - 19 mph (30.6 km/h), maximum reverse speed - 8.9 mph
(14.4 km/h). The open center hydraulic system used a gear pump with a
rated capacity of 9.7 gpm (36.9 lpm) or 18.2 gpm (70.1 lpm). The main
relief pressure is 173 bar (2500 psi). The tractor was equipped with a
power assist steering system, differential mechanical wet disc brakes,
7.5x18 (2WD) or 12.4x24 (4WD) front tires, and 16.9x30 (2WD) or 16.9x34
(4WD) rear tires. The wheel base is 87.5" (2220 mm) for 2-wheel drive
models and 88.8" (2250 mm) for 4-wheel drive models.
The Ford 5610 is compatible with the following attachments: Ford 777B
loader with maximum lift height of 124" (3140 mm), Ford 777D loader with
maximum lift height of 125.2" (3180 mm), Ford 777F loader with maximum
