1981 Ford 4610 Tractor repair?

My grandparents have an old Ford 4610 tractor that has a slipping PTO clutch. I've read either a worn clutch pack or low hydraulic pressure to the clutch will cause this. I've never worked on a tractor besides normal maintenance like oil changes, belts, water pumps etc so i have no idea if I would have to split the tractor or if it's accessible from the rear? Any input is much appreciated

AmTran buses are better than BlueBird.

Looks like your going to do your first tractor splitting. Go online and look up a replacement clutch I think you will find it is a double disc clutch and one disc drives the PTO and the other drives the tractor. There not hard to split but you need to make sure it is supported well and doesn't drop any when it is split. It is not something you do in the dirt.

  • I put my battery in backwards in my 1981 ford f250 400ci now no power to the dash what could it be? So basically i'm pretty knowledgable about vehicles except of course when it comes to an electrical problem. I was cleaning my 1981 ford f250 400ci and listening to music. Battery diesd so i went to put in my dads to start it up. I put it in back wards and saw sparks and took it off. Was on there for about 10 sec before i saw it. I know i'm an idiot and should take my time. What could it be. Checked all fuses and only one was blown where else should i check?
