I am new to the forum and I just purchased a Ford 5610 2wd. I have these numbers from the tractor serial plate.

Tractor Number: C717533
Model Number: LA314C
Unit Number: 4B16B

Can someone confirm year tractor was manufactured ? I was told it is a 1989, but cannot confirm. Thanks so much for the help !
 
Model Number: LA314C LA3 is a 5610. The 1 means that it has a gasoline engine. The 4 means that it has independent 540 RPM PTO. The C at the end means that it has an 8 speed transmission.

Unit Number: 4B16B - As forddoc already stated, this means it rolled off the assembly line on February 16, 1984 during the day shift.

Tractor Number: C717533 - This is the serial number and it agrees with the Unit Number above in that it is an early 1984 serial number.
 

hmmmm. Well tractor most certainly has a diesel engine now. Tag under hood and numbers on transmission match, so, I guess engine has been changed from gas to diesel ??
I need to check number on engine itself too, where can I find number on engine to verify ? Near starter somewhere ?
Thanks again for all the help !
 
Man my brain just isn't working the way it used to. A 1 in the 4th position is for a diesel engine. I hope this isn't a sign of early Alzheimer's.

I have another question. On this 1984 5610. Does the rear axle oil also fill the transmission gearcase ? Or, is gearcase seperate ? Meaning transmission must be filled by fill hole on top near gear shifters ?
