6610s anygood?

what is the difference in the s model and the typeII models? there is a 2000 6610s with loader for sale that looks really good, the owner says the loader is stong but slower than the old type II because the s series just had a single pump, is this true or is the pump just wore out and he making excuses?
 
S models were made in Mexico, and were stripped down versions of the ones made elsewhere. So yes, it likely has only the one pump. Easy to
tell - look at the LH rear of the engine - if no pump, then it has only the single pump in the rear axle. I believe they did not come with
dual power and/or syncro tranny either. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
 


everything the owner is telling you is true.. And as Bern says...

There are more of the S tractors down here in my opinion.

Also the S tractor does not have the external hydraulic filter, but can be changed to have one..... IIRC...or maybe thats the 5900 that I'm thinking of...

SO.. they are a basic tractor, good, and will work well, just no fancy jewelry or makeup on them.
 

6610 and 6610 series II where built from 82 - 93
They used the 268 engine and where available with several transmission and hydraulic options, also available with a cab.

I have a 89 cab model with 16x8 dual power synchro trans, dual hydraulic pumps and 4 remotes.

6610S was made in Mexico from 94 -03
It has the larger 304 engine but was only available with the standard 8x2 non synchro trans and basic hydraulics with up to 2 remotes.

Ford/NH switched to the 40 series starting in 92 and the 6610S was a bare bones economy model available at a lower cost.
 
And as I recall, basic hydraulics meant the old open center style of remote valves under the seat? Or were they closed center in the back? I
never saw enough S series tractors to know for sure nearly 30 years later.
 
Put a clutch in a 6610S this spring. Common old 13 in 4 lever like a lot of other Fords.
Replaced an Injector pump on one last year. They seem to be a good bare bones tractor.No
real complaints from the owners.
 
No, they were the Rexroth's on back. They just took to calling it open center in those days to distinguish it from the PFC system on the SLE's. I believe the 'S' series could also be had with dual pumps. I just forget now if they used the actual 10 series arrangements or the 40 series layout.

Never seen an S with the fancy closed system hydraulics,, just the regular under seat older version.. and the blocks have the sealed up the back of cam shaft IIRC... so you can NOT put on dual pumps... BUt then again, I have slept since then, so take everything with a grain of salt. At least I get to meet new people every day.

The internet went down for a day last week and I actually chatted with my wife for a couple of hours. Turns out she a pretty nice person.

Be careful, she may get use to it and pull the plug while your not looking. :lol:
 
It's a while since I looked at one too... so I just pulled up a vid on youtube and looked. The one pictured was a single pump model with
rexroth valves on the back. From the vid... the tractor is a stripped 40 series chassis with an 8 speed. By that I mean it has the 40 series
basic hydraulic system with the power steering fed from the main pump sections rather than the 10 series layout with the engine mounted
steering pump. So... in theory at least the second pump could be added for the hydraulics, driven from the L1 position on the engine. It is
for all intents and purposes a 40 series tractor stylized to look like a 10 series. Keep in mind that for a tractor to have under seat valves
it would have to go back to the x600 series technology because that was the last variant used where the hitch controls were under the cover.
10 series used pilot valves in the priority pack for hitch unloading and feathering.

Kind of like the Mexican made 5900
Bare bones older designed components, I believe it used the old inline Sims inj pump.
A neighbor has one, basic tractor, nothing fancy.
 
so with the single pump do you think it would be ok for a loader tractor? mostly just stacking hay, maybe scoops of gravel once in a while.
 

also it says transmission mounted hydraulic pump so is that internal or external? the way the pump looks in drawing looks kinda like it could bolt on to the outside of trans?
 

Actually the pumps mounted into the side of the rear axle housing.
Yes it will run a loader, it'll just be a little slow, lots of old Ford tractors out there with loaders using a single pump.
 
The pump is removable from the outside without too much grief, but it is actually an internal pump. It will be barely adequate to run a
loader, but for limited use it will be fine. Probably without too much misery you could add the second pump provided there is a mounting face
for the second filter at the left rear of the axle housing.
