SPN Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Never driven an AP cabbed 10. Which gearshift system does it use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Very nice classic, any rot in the AP cab? the're a bit notorious for it, but yours looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hey SPN You're a lucky chap not to have had to drive one That model probably had the classic 16x4 constant mesh box with middle of the floor gearchange and dual power. Actually not a bad tractor, just the cab is not the same level as a SQ. Trouble is if that cab was green I'd say it was great I did drive a 6610LP (83 model) with two levered column shift and found that great with a loader. The floor change version gives the impression of a 5000 with a quite cab or in the case of a 4610 it's a Q-cabbed 4000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I've drove a 4610 with dashboard column shift, pile of sh!t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I love that 8x4 gearbox. Once you learn how to crash the gears it is a gem. (Note to the unwary: To change down the gears with a full silage trailer behind you need three hands. One on the throttle - to marry the revs, one on the gear lever - trying to pop her into gear, and the third one to steer with. If you are really proficient, you can steer her with the steering brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 sorry i dont have a clue what type of gear box it is but here are some more pictures to see if you can work it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.Morrison Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 great looking tractor, she's so clean!!!!!! Can't believe thats orginal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Ooooppppppssss Got that one wrong, it's the 8/4 column shift if with dual power it's 16/8 SPN, I think you mean 8/2 gearbox, always fun a "crash gearbox" get it right and you change easier than a syncro but get it wrong and !!!!!!!

Gav836 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Blimey thats a tidy 4610 for it's age! A credit to its former owner for certain, they must have polished it every week and kept it indoors all the time. I take it that its been a local tractor all its life then has it Cameron? Should give you years of reliable service if you look after it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 yea the farmer we bought it off lives in our village, he abselutly loved it, he always kept it under cover and always checked on it it was only early this year that he thought he was to old to carry on farming and decided to sell it, he really didnt want to get rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 dorset council used to have 5610's + AP cabs with loaders for yard work & were kept very clean & original ,as most were only used for loading road salt i once looked at an H reg, low hours, scrubed tyres though would have gone for it ,but i needed a 4wd.

MJB1 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 i took on a council farm luke , but the land was clay & was wet so a 2wd would have struggled i ended up with a CASE 1494 with a QD case loader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
