    Mustang hydraulic hose connections

    To make a long story short-its been 5 years and so, so many problems, mostly caused by my failure to pay attention and now I"m finished and ready to roll. Except for one thing. I"m not sure which hydraulic hose connects to the different inputs of the hydraulic unit. Each one comes from a...

    Ford 5610 forward/ reverse shifting problemt

    Strange thing is the problem is helped by the reverse of what you describe. You suggest coming to a complete stop before shifting. I cant come to a complete stop then shift. But can shift if I'm still moving. Thanks for the shifting procedure but I sure hope I don't have to follow it. I do a...

    Ford 5610 forward/ reverse shifting problemt

    Although I agree with Rick, I can't say that it doesn't grind at all. In order to shift, if I let the clutch out just a bit and it slips into gear, there is a bit of a grind and the tractor lurches. This occurs early in the cycle well before there is any evidence the tractor wants to move. In...

    Ford 5610 forward/ reverse shifting problemt

    Its not what I would call a conventional floor mount with the levers going straight down into the transmission. They mount on the right side of the column housing the steering shaft

    Ford 5610 forward/ reverse shifting problemt

    No trouble shifting 1-2-3-4 but the Hi-Lo-Reverse symptoms are about the same as what you describe. It would sure be a surprise if it was a linkage problem. But at least a pleasant surprise.

    Ford 5610 forward/ reverse shifting problemt

    My local dealer just returned my tractor with a new $3000+ clutch put in, at his suggestion, to fix exactly the problem I am describing here. Tractor is a Ford 5610 4WD synchromesh, four speed(8 speed with hi/lo), with a separate lever to shift from between forward Hi,forward LO and reverse...
