1983 Ford 5610 MWFD with Allied loader value

FordManiac · May 13, 2019

Can anyone give me some ideas on this? Tractor obviously has some wear but engine runs great and starts fast even in cold weather. Loader works great and doesn t leak down. Only 20-30% of tread left on tires. Has cold air, quick adjust link ends and stabilizer bars. Has new power steering pump and steering sector assembly. Has dual power also. Brakes need adjusting but there is plenty of adjustment left on threads. Radio does not work. Thoughts?

with new paint,,, 11900 to 14900 retail? down here. Problem is that its a ""straddle cab"" model and a pain in the butt, to get in and out with the sticks/steering in the way.

yeah its not the easiest for sure. I'm thinking about trading but just curious hard it will be to sell. It really runs great but figure only a deer farmer or hobby farmer like myself will be interested in it. But I'm also thinking if someone wants a heavy strong built 4x4 cab tractor what else can they buy for that kind of money. So maybe it won't be too difficult to sell but not sure.

True, compared to say, a 7710. But still
easier in and out than the cabs on
Hesston tractors of the era.
Probably in the same ballpark on price
here. Better tires would bump the price
up.

Not sure where the shifters are located on that 5610 but it's a flat deck cab, same as used on 6710/7710 but sets lower on the chassis.
My 6610 uses the same cab as my cousins 7710, same dash and steering wheel, shifters mounted on the right side of the cab.

Only issue I'd have with it is the early style steering is more trouble prone than the later hydrostatic steering.

Can you elaborate more on the steering? Because I had to replace the steering sector on my 1983 5610. Are they just a weak design?

$10 - $12K. Probably $15 if it was tidied up a bit.
