I know, I've used her myself off and on since '04.
It's not for the amount of work it's done either, maybe 1000 hours in those years.
Used it to pull our JF and nothing before or after it powered it as well.
Old fords were good 'on the shaft'
As soon as I know more I'll let you know.

She certainly was a good going thing - could sup 35 gallon of Diesel in a while of a day on the blower, but she was working though
Lovely note of her too.
Been in semi retirement last 6 or 7 years, odd day on the slurry pump or shifting a few bales.
ah yes lack of time is always a problem!
im i right in thinking that 8210s were never very fast on the road?

She's a force 3 so that maybe helps. 420/70R24 and 520/70R38, was 18.4s in her but the bigger ones suit her better

diff ratios?
county were well known for fitting different crown and pinion gears to change the gearing to cater for all wheel drive conversions
maybe ford were fitting left over crown sets after county started to wind things down?

Is it actually doing 24mph or is the dash just saying that?
There is a dial on the back of the electric dashboard that can be altered to alter the speed to suit different tyre sizes.
that could be it
i know some folk put different gears in the gearbox of the older ones to bring the speeds up a bit.6610 gears?

think front axle was different on tractors from 1986? I may be wrong
Run it alongside something with radar ground speed. I would be surprised if it's hitting 20mph.
