Hi Perry, I had an M610 for 2 years.
Mine was re-powered with an Isuzu diesel, not the petrol Wisconsin. They have a variable speed belt drive to a chain drive wet clutch system, this was reliable but expensive to overhaul if you have to replace chains and clutch plates/shafts. the chain drive and hydraulic system are combined and uses about 18 gallons of oil (hurts a bit when you change it). I ran mine with a 4n1 bucket (added some counterweight) and it worked well. A lot more tiring to operate than my 753. Still a great old machine.

Na! not a replacement, found one for $2500 including bucket. Thought for the price, it might be handy to have around for small jobs?.
