late post but a few more details----
7810,7910,8210 II where all assembled in Basilton? England and Anwerht ?Belgium ----they have the same drive train as a 7710 just a 6 cylinder motor replacing the 4 cylinder engine----they were brought in to compete in the 100 horsepower market at a reduced cost compared to the TW style tractors---same 6 cylinder engine as the TW 5 and TW 10----the 5610, 6610, 7610 & II were built in in Romeo Mich-- Basilton England and Anwerht Belgium and some in San Paulo Brazil-----in 1986 they began producing the 5900 in Mexico (a 6600 technology level replacement)---engines from the Brazil plant--- they up graded to the 10's after several years---then enlarge the model scheme calling them the S series----5610S,6610S,7610S,7810S (six cylinder 7610S either 2 or 4wd with std tires) and 8010S (only came 4wd with either high clearance or low profile) the high profile was the 6 cylinder version of the 7610S Mudder---a drop axle on all four corners--- many of the English/Belgium built tractors only differ in the type of lights and wiring harness requirements required for the country they were being exported to----many of these tractors have been imported "used" into the US with Europe wiring harnesses----just different lights etc.-----One thing FORD learned from the car business that was a positive was where ever in the world they built a tractor they were "Mostly" the exact same parts----three plants three of the same parts on the tractors-----however when they change to the 40 series and later----one plant built one type of tractor and another plant built another type of tractors---- the S series built in Mexico used alot of the same drive trains as the 40 series just different sheet metal, front axle and fuel tank----- the 3010S and 5010S built in Mexico used the FIAT style drive train-----
