Curtis, If Ford did this deed, then it wouldn't be branded a 4610. It might be a 4810, but I've never seen one. I'm a bit more familiar with the 5030 which uses the 5610 engine mated to the 30 series back end. I suppose it is possible that Ford did do some custom jobs... but I doubt it... and if they did, it would have some designation. From your post I took that you compared the engine date code on the upper right front mounting lug of the engine. The date code is stamped there, and on the hood tag as the "ENGINE" number. As from my previous post, you can also compare the serial, model, and unit numbers in the same manner, which are found on the transmission housing aft of the starter. If you go to the same general location on the left of the transmission you should also find the transmission number found on that tag. There are also similar numbers for the rear axle and the hydraulic lift, although I can't say that I've ever tracked one down to tell you where to look. I think it most likely that your tractor has had an engine "fitted" by somebody like "me" who would be amused by that type if project. There were some speciality companies in the UK that I've read about doing that type of work too, so it could look quite professionally done. The only 4 cylinder, line assembled 4610's that I'm aware of were those shipped to south africa which were fitted with locally assembled Perkins ADE 236 engines. Otherwise, a 4610 should be fitted with a Ford 3 cylinder 201 from Basildon.
I'm curious how that engine code checks out. Let us know. Rod

The old oil and filter has been taken to the recycler and the air filter replacement has breathed new life into our motor. Let's take a closer look, now, at the cooling system since it has to work so hard in the summer heat. Cooling systems can be real cantankerous in their old age. Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
