Mr. hd6gtom, you have me a little confused with your commentary . . ."Would you guys who are telling us the 2010 diesel is a great tractor engine please explain to me why one of the larger JD dealers in central Iowa told me "Never buy a 2010 diesel, JD never made a good 1". That Came straight from the horses mouth. "
First of all, the original post was about the engine series; not the tractors in whole.
Second: Who claimed 1010s and 2010s are "great tractors?" I missed those posts.
Third: What your one person said at one Deere dealership out of thousands does not amount to the "horses mouth." One horse in the herd, yeah.
I have a first-year 1960 1010 crawler-loader and use near every day. Very useful and well designed crawler, even by modern standards. Even still has the original steering clutches. I know because I got it from the orinal owner who got it new. It was in a fire once. As a result, I tore the engine apart and did a "cheap" rebuild on it. New gaskets and seals. Regrooved the old pistons and shimmed them with new rings. Valve-job (just grind and reseat), etc. I put 4000 hours on it since. Runs great and uses no oil. Ignition was always finicky but adding a Pertronix breakeress kit fixed that. Even still has the original Webster-Electric hydraulic pump.

Today's Featured Article - A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
