I was a Deere mechanic for a long time and worked on many 1010s and 2010s. My opinion is - many of the wheel tractors were terrible - some seemed to be made from left-over parts - and perhaps they were. The 2010 diesel engines were not all that bad when set-up properly. Some of the early fuel injection systems got a few updates because of problems. But, take a 2010 diesel in good shape, with glow-plugs working, and the injection pump timed right, and the manual fuel primer working, and they started pretty good in cold weather. Many got ruined with ether use. The major downside to the engine is parts availability and prices. That engine series stood alone (1010/2010) and has nothing in common with later engines. Subsequently, it did not benefit from later improvements and/or updates. The sleeves are attached to each other and replaced as a unit (i.e. called a "sleeve deck"). They only have a single o-ring separating engine oil from engine coolant which can cause problems. Later Deere engines, that at first also had single o-rings, got update kits to use three instead. No such update for the 1010/2010s. Surprising, the Chinese are making some replacement parts now for 2010s - but not 1010s. So, I guess that's good. So, I don't know if I answered your question or not. 2010 crawler is similar to the later 450 - but not as well designed. If you are looking to buy a machine that's going to be worked hard, a lot - you're better off with a 450 series unless you're getting it cheap. If buying partly because you like old iron and/or Deere, and partly to use, and it's in pretty good shape - it could make you a very good machine. You said it was rebuilt - so I guess the question is, how good was the job?

Sounds like you'd better talk to an experienced pond builder for advice. Around here, it's usually done with dozers, crawler-loaders don't get good enough traction with flat track pads. I know one guy that does well, but he has a crawler-loader with a clam-shell Drott bucket and high-grouser dozer type track pads. Usually, you temporarily divert the water if possible, then with a dozer you push off all the top soil first - and save it somewhere. Then, go in circle and create the pond, then bring the top soil back. If the pond is deep, you might have to seal the bottom with clay. If you are looking for a low-dollar machine that is rugged, yet fairly simple to repair - you'd probably do better buying an old Cat or Allis Chalmers - if you can get along with a hand-clutch. I often get chances to buy 6-8 ton sized loaders in the $4000 - $5000 price range in fairly good condition. If you don't know how to work on them yourself, or want a full time machine for everyday work - they you're going to have to spend a lot more money.
