Ford 6610 Fuelling Issues & Making Hay

Our normally reliable Ford 6610 Force II decides to develop fuelling problems, just when we need it to cut some hay. Follow me while I run through the solution and get her to work.

Hi Dave, greetings from Kentucky. Good to see you posting. Your tractor is family. You have many adventures with more in the future. Take care

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks Clinton, always good to hear from you! Hope all is well over there. I'd love to see Kentucky some time! I've only seen Calafornia and up the North East Coast.

Great video Dave. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Rob! More videos to come soon. Just finished a day of welding on the RR.

I like this kind of life, it looks happy😊

I love hay time Krish, brings back fond memories from my childhood, it was always one of my favourite events of the year, as well as the time I used to be allowed to drive the tractors 🙂

Another good Dave thanks for posting

Well Dave, needless to say that P6 deal went pear-shaped. He turned out to be a very angry man. He's letting it rot. Wont sell it. So keep an eye out for one for me please!

[@davesworkshop2714]

Sorry to hear that Brian, plenty more out there luckily.

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……….. WOW, square bales. When I was a teenager, ( late 1970’s ) that’s what I did for summer work was put up hay! Then all the farmers in the area started rolling round bales and put me and my buddies out of work. Some times progress runs you over!LOL!

[@davesworkshop2714]

Square bales are rarely used here either now, in fact finding someone to bale them can be an issue. I wish I'd got footage of it, a '71 Ford 5000 with an old JD baler. We used to make thousands of them every year up into the mid '90s when we switched to round bales of sileage for the cattle. We demolished the old hay shed to make room for the extended workshop shortly after. The storage building I'm using now has no entrance to get a tractor in so it's back to small bales. They are useful in bad weather too instead of tearing up the grass with a tractor to feed outside.

Wow that was super nice of u Dave that really made my day

[@davesworkshop2714]

No problem Darrell! Though I doubt you need my help! Things are really flying there. Should hit 1000 by mid day!

Great video Dave I have just bought a 1984 6610 with the AP cab and gears on the floor so your videos will be great to refer too !

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks Andy! The floor change box is far better for loader work. A great tractor over all. Have a look at tonight's video to see the difference a geared starter can make!

How am I just now seeing this? I’m always excited to see videos from you! I wish u lived close I feel like I could hang out with you all the time! Great video Dave wish u posted more

[@davesworkshop2714]

You must have your notifications off! That would be good, and I could use the help lol. I'm going to try and get the videos out more consistently. The last few months have been mental at work. I have a few new videos almost ready to go so I'm hoping to have something up again in the next few days.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I can’t seem to find out how to turn on notifications, but I am very excited to see more videos from you! I would love to see a good video of the cat working, digging, digging stumps…ect I think that would get a bunch of views putting it to work! I also like your tractor video like this were you worked on it and then showed it working! People like you are what keep this world going I wish there were more people like you in it! Thanks again for the shout out! If my channel gets a little bigger I won’t forget about you 😄

[@davesworkshop2714]

@@TheHomePros6221 Thanks Darrell! Hopefully I'll get a video of her working out soon. Biggest thing I need to do is find the buckets. Ill take a look at the weekend. Just need to finish work on the RR for her annual inspection and ill get back at it!

Yea I can’t believe it but now it’s like everything slowed down to a stop I was getting a lot of subs and views per day and now I guess the u tube algorithm just stopped it’s really weird lol

Very good video!great tractor too!🚜,i used to drive one myself exactly like yours, lovely tractor to drive!,6610 is my favourite 4 cylinder Ford tractor, ive 2 Ford tractors myself a 1977 3600 Q,and a 1991 4630 SQ,2wd,shuttle change, straight 3, .best of luck with your 6610 SQ!🚜👍🤝

[@davesworkshop2714]

Those ford 3 cylinders were streets ahead of the 4s. Never suffered porous blocks etc i believe. I've never driven one with a Q or SQ on. Does the weight impact it much? Never realised they came with a shuttle box! Thanks for watching 🙂👍

[@peteroreilly9321]

@@davesworkshop2714 The 3600 Q is floor change Dave just what i got when i baught it i like the column change Fords too,my 4630 has the H pattern gears at the rh side same as your 6610

[@davesworkshop2714]

@@peteroreilly9321 the one thing I'll say about the floor change box is that it was a far better job on a loader tractor than the synchro box! I recently saw pictures of a special order 6610 Force II SQ with that box for loader work. A very rare tractor

[@peteroreilly9321]

@@davesworkshop2714 I saw one on KZbin Dave it has the same type of gear levers as your 6610 but is the crash gearbox same as the floor change in other AP and Q cab Fords
