We sold the 55 series when it was new. For perspective, we had a lot of problems with the 40 series, especially excessive smoking and cold starting issues. When the 50 series came out, it was a night and day difference with engine quality but we had a few issues with steel hydraulic pipes shaking loose and leaking internally. When the 55 series came out, it seemed all the issues from the past were fixed. I cursed them at the time because I had to split every 4WD we sold for a recall. Other then that 4WD glitch, they were great tractors. I have not worked on one since 1995, so cannot say I have followed how longevity has been. I still have my 1960 Deere 1010 and love it (industrial machine). Not all Deere tractors with a 10 at the end are bad.
I am still kind of amazed though that near every Deere 55 series sold early on had the wrong gears driving the front axle. The front wheels spun MUCH faster then the back and tore the ground up something awful. Deere fixed the problem the first year of production, but it was a horrendous goof.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
