My dad had a 4610 that was the second tractor I learned to drive and to make hay with great tractor but I miss the farm ,farm was sold about 12 years ago.

[@BruceKoch-g3t]

Very Clean tractor. Good video. One improvement would be to Take a air hose or rag and clean the area around the fluid fill areas. keeping contaminants out of the hydraulic system is just as important as the quality of the oil.

[@PetrosMnguni-pk3mw]

Good

[@MichaelYuhas]

Thank you. I have a 4600SU and was looking around at info on the changing of hydraulics fluids. Now I just have to budget for 3 of the VP's :)

[@usa_dobson8967]

They’re certainly not cheap, haha.

[@andytommelleo9119]

Thank you for your video, as it was very helpful. I cannot find a good video on maintenence of a Ford 2000. It looks similar to the 4610. Are the oil outlets and fill caps similar? If not, what advice can you give me for proper maintenance

[@olivierfulcrand6841]

FORD IS GOLD 💪👌👍 SIMPLY THE BEST 💪👍❤️

[@chaddobson7056]

Fabulous job! ❤️

[@TomCallahan-lc9vf]

Although my original owners manual for the 4610 shows a dipstick for checking the differential fluid level on the drivers side of the differential, near the PTO engage lever, my 4610 does not have one. It is not missing, it never had one from the factory. The manual offers no other way to check the level other than drain and refill. Somewhere I thought there was a level check port, like on the side of the transmission, that when the plug was removed, the differential was full when fluid dribbled out. Did you use a port to determine the full level, or did you simply drain till dry, and then refill with the specified capacity? I must say your tractor looks great, whomever painted it did a terrific job. Thanks, Tom

[@usa_dobson8967]

I don’t believe that there is a level check port for the differential. Mine has the dipstick tube, however, it is missing the dipstick. Replacements online are used and about $50, so I just looked up the capacity online and kept track of the amount of fluid I was putting in. Hope this helps!

[@mattwakefield8760]

Late to the conversation...but my 4610 does have a "check level port". On mine it's about a 3/8 square plug (similar looking to a pipe plug). Location is close to where your right heel would be while sitting on the tractor. Remove that plug and fill from the top (like this video suggests) until fluid runs out the port, then reinstall the plug.

Great tutorial!! I need your help with my 4610 & identifying a filter. I think it is for the 7209 front end loader. If you could help that would be awesome!!

[@usa_dobson8967]

A filter for a front end loader? Can’t say I’ve ever heard of that.

[@JTsvintagechainsaws]

I have a 1988 ford 4610 just like yours

[@stevehutch161]

Nice Video. I have a 1990 2810 that I am changing fluids on. Does it take 12 gallons total, or 12 in just the rear end hydraulics? I think the back and the transmission are connected and use the same fluid. Do you know if this is correct? thanks.

[@jesusguerrero5951]

How to check the differential oil

[@dth0115]

Appreciate the video... Ive got a 90model 4610. Can you tell me how to check the hydrologic fluid level of the tractor?? Thank you.

[@usa_dobson8967]

Should be dipstick on the back of the tractor to the bottom left of seat.

[@johnrose5563]

I’m loosing steering fluid and gaining engine oil. Is there a possibility it’s leaking in the engine somehow

[@somersfamily]

So what do i do if i can't get all the 7.5 gallons out ? Why is it so milky? Is it fluid? How did milk get in there ? Why don't they make it anymore and how to turbo it to make it cut faster ? Thanks again

[@jimmywallace5895]

Probably got water in it from being out in the rain. That happened to my 4610

[@christophercotter4542]

Condensation, whe hot meets cold it sweats

[@RyanPolaren]

Is the max oil level for transmission the screw sticking out at 2:06 in the video, just over where is says DB? Or is it on the left side at 1:05, just above the brown/bronze wire? I know you have a dipstick right by the fill plug, but mine one only has a fill plug. My 4610 has a cabin and loader, so it's a bit different.

[@usa_dobson8967]

I believe the full bolt is located where you first mentioned, right over the “DB”.

[@RyanPolaren]

@@usa_dobson8967 Yeah, makes most sense it's there. Thanks

[@chadhargrove8965]

Ever had a problem with hydraulic oil leaking out of the transmission fill plug. My ford3910 starts leaking out after about an hour of use. My fluids are not over full neither

[@usa_dobson8967]

Hmmm interesting.. no, luckily I’ve never had that issue.

[@LokisJin07]

Where is the transmission oil dipstick located at

The Euro models have headlamps in the nose cone/ front grill. What is this like to drive at night..??

[@usa_dobson8967]

Currently the lights on ours do not work, I believe it to be an issue with the pull switch.

[@MattFoushee]

Do you run the same fluid in the transmission and the hydraulic reservoir?

[@usa_dobson8967]

Yes

What oil do you use in the transmision?

It is shown in the video… VP Racing Ultra J20A Utility Tractor Fluid

Both the transmission, and the rear differential/hydraulic system take this same oil.
