    5610 Ford front support casting removal

    5610 Ford. Trying to remove the front support casting. It is above the front axle. The front axle pivots on the bottom of the casting. Got everything off except the axle. Front pivot pin is being stubborn. Haven't tried heat yet. Any advice on removing the front pivot pin would be appreciated. I...

    Ford 5610

    I have two of those Fords. A 5610 bought new in 1981 and a 5610 II bought in 2013 with 725 hours on it. Both have been very good tractors.

    Stuck clutch

    I have strapped the clutch pedal down with a bungee cord. Get on and drive it. Went thru a little dip in the pasture and mine came loose. Apply brake while driving might break it loose.

    Oh this is even better. Backhoe wood splitter

    Worked with a logger years ago. Some time we would end up with a short piece of oak. The loader operator would pinch it with the grapple and split it. He had a wood heater. Took all the work out of firewood processing.

    Seen It All Yet?

    There are videos on YouTube of people doing that to Farmall and Allis Chalmers tractors. They are using the Predator engines from Harbor Freight.

    Cost of new holland parts

    Recently bought 2 o-rings from NH dealer. $24.50 for the pair. They are about 1 OD. Outrageous price IMO.

    I hate birds again

    I had a problem with birds roosting on the structure above my truck. Got one of the plastic hawk decoys. Don't get the owl. Now he sits on the bed of my truck. No more poop on the truck. You may want to put one in a visible place near your tractor shed.

    68 5000 8 speed neutral safety switch help

    Sounds like a similar problem I had on a 5610. The spring, plunger and ball all work together. The parts you are missing are in the bottom of the transmission. I attached a magnet to a rubber hose and snaked it down along the inside of the transmission and under all the gears and shafts. Did not...

    Clearing a plugged grease fitting

    On an old grease fitting, I have seen the spring rust away leaving only the ball. When grease is applied the ball is pushed back and acts as a plug. Probably easier to just change the zerk and be done with it.

    Favorite Ford Tractor

    Sell it or Keep it

    Keep it. Tractors like that are hard and probably impossible to replace.
