Long Dead John Deere 1010 Moved To The Shop

- This little John Deere 1010 has been sitting for many years and it needs to be given a little attention. The focal point of this video is merely the physical moving of the dead tractor to the shop by use of another tractor. It's a simple move that has been done many times before on this channel.
Its going to be enjoyable getting this thing to run once more. It is a 1961 model tractor. JD pretty much stopped production of their signature 'Popping Johnnies' in 1959. This model 1010 began in 1960 and ran for a five year period with only around 4500 built during that time. The big change the formidable company made with this tractor as well as other models in 1960 was the change to four and six cylinder overhead valve engines very similar in design to many other manufacturers at the time. Though the venerable two cylinders were and still remain very popular, JD had to change with the times to maintain their share of the international marketplace. Their reluctance to change was not unlike the Japanese motorcycles that had to abandon their two cycle street bike engines in the early to mid 1970's for the more efficient and eco-friendly four stroke two and four cylinder engines.
So this little guy wasn't necessarily the first JD to sport the newly styled engine, but it was one of the first to do so. And as they say....'The REST is history". Hang in there and in a few days there will be updates to the ongoing saga of the Long Dead JD1010 . #johndeere, #tractor, #kubota This is a link to a friends channel you may want to take a look at. He's got a few different tractors and enjoys every one of them. He is always sending me links to some interesting things and the following link is one directly connected to this little 1010: • Deere Day in Dallas - บันเทิง
Good luck with the 1010! Good little tractor!
Thank you Jeff....still editing the follow up video. You'll like it too I bet. But there ARE some problems that show up though.
Hi my friend. I love the old john Deere's I ran a 1010 dozer back in the day. As always I liked and shared. All my very best to you and yours.
The Much Older Brother has a similar 440 JD highlift. But its got the 2-53 Detroit two stroke in it. I'm anxious to get this on on line. It'll be the newest back here in the woods....not counting the Kubota's. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Good looking old tractor the only thing I can say is the right guy is on the job to get in running good luck hope you're having a great week
Thanks Tom for the confidence in my shade tree mechanic work !! LOL Time will tell I guess. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for another great video 👍
Thanks Tony for watching. I am glad you enjoyed the pushing and pulling today. The best is yet to come. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Your fashion statement looks cool! Looking forward to the overhaul.
Hopefully it'll just be normal maintenance. I know the motor isn't stuck so it should be normal maintenance for one that's been resting a decade. Dunno yet, but the tank is in baaaaaaad shape. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
The old 1010 is definitely worth saving.
Oh heck yeah Matt....this is a really handy little power house. Especially with the cast rears loaded with ballast. I think its calcium though. Bad deal there.th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
You're a trooper for getting work done in the heat *and* with dilated pupils! 🔧🔩 Glad you could get it moved Wendell
It wasn't the most comfortable day to get this done. Boy o boy, the sun was double bright today ! Maybe that was just my imagination running wild though !! th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
I sure enjoy your videos.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
Thank you Greg for the very kind comment ! I'd like to extend the same to you. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Great Fashion Statement Sunglass Sir !!! I think the main goal is the reduce your tractor fleets ?! LOL : )
Yes, that is the ultimate goal. I'm going to try to get rid of at least 30 by New Years Day. Most of them will be non-runners I've just not gotten to or just parts tractors though. It was just time to get this little guy here up and running to help move stuff around a bit. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
My Friend, I am not the biggest John Deere fan around but man I totally love the old John Deers from A', B's to the 1010 and up to the 5020 and a bit latter like the 4440's etc. That was fantastic old tractors, you know Ford, Massey Harris and Massey Ferguson is on top of my old tractor list and including the JD's as mentioned, although I have a IH Super A it did not make it to the top 4 on my list, 🤐😂😂
I'm pretty much a fan of all kinds of tractors. Where I draw the line is steam...I never did like being around them at shows. My favorite of course is the Massey Harris 44 !! th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Cool video tractor man.
Hopefully it won't be too much to bring it back to life. The tank is one of the worst I've seen. )-: th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
hi there some where around here there is a 10 foot 2 inch pipe with a double hitch ,one to hook it to each tractor , push pull thing , but you need a pilot on both tractors . think i may go looking for it , good luck and best to all john
I do the same thing. When I don't have help, I tie the steering wheel, push, get off and change position, push again and repeat ! Much easier with help isn't it.
You'll getter tm44. Ive no doubt ole friend. 👍🚜
Hot dang Dean, I HOPE so. I just can't get enough time all lined up to get into it big time and not stop until its done. If so, it'd be a snap. Squeezing time in between this and that gets tough sometimes. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Man yeah Mr Wendell!! You sure are good at moving things around just right with the little Kubota!!! I can't wait to see the ole 1010 going again, especially on the log splitter!! Those tires sure look newer like maybe before it was parked? And may I ask why it was? Thank you my friend for bringing us along, look fwd to this one!!! 👍👍😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🚜🚜
The little Kubota can do some surprising things. This 1010 is my brother in laws. He bought it freshly repainted and rubbered but the clutch was bad. He brought it out here to change the clutch plate...which we did, then life got busy and he left it here. In the meantime he bought a more versatile Kubota with a full complement of accessories so the 1010 just sat.
I never even thought about using it until it was too late. Battery went bad, nasty gas screwed up the tank and fuel system...condensation wreaked havoc on the electrical...now the rims are showing the beginnings of decay from the dribbling calcium. I finally figured if its sitting here, I may as well USE it. So here it is....its at the front of the repair list now. LOL th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
I still love the sound of my Dad's '51 B. My Maternal Grandfather had a '58 520 (comparable to the B). That one was sold at his farm sale. Wish we could have kept that one. I didn't even get to see who bought it to track it down. A few years ago I was looking at buying either a 1010 or 1020 but didn't follow through with it. I figured I had enough tractors....what a dummy!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I'm glad I got my dad's favorite tractor...an old 39 Massey Harris 101 six banger. It sold at auction for $110 and I missed it. So I talked to the guy that bought it and gave him a sob story and offered a WD with a blown head gasket for an even trade. So that's how I ended up with it....right there ten minutes after the guy bought it !! Btw...you NEVER have enough tractors. LOL th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
You got in the work stall and I’m sure you’ll get her going....CHEERS
Hot dang Gator, I HOPE so. I NEED another daily driver around here. I'm getting tired of climbing up so high on the row crop Masseys and Farmalls. LOLth-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Keep pushing Wendell,...it's approximately another 2600 miles to my garage doors! :)
OMG !! Still laughing Reg....still laughing. Good one my friend. I would still love to visit Newfoundland though...with or without a tractor in tow. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
@@tractorman4461 I was just thinking, at a top ( comfortable ) road speed of say, 12 MPH it would take you about 217 hours to get here, approximately 5 hours driving per day, Then you do need to stop for fuel, food or other necessities like sleep, I think you could be here by October 5, if you leave tomorrow.
Then at about 2.9 GPH of fuel, you'd need some 628 gallons of fuel,.. you will need a tank trailer for that. Are you sure you want to come up here? Hahahaha.
Obviously I have too much spare time on my hands this evening. :)
@@regsparkes6507, now that took a little time and some figuring! Lol
That Tractor has some of the same appearance features as our 301A JD. I like how the dist is right there easy to access and work on. We have a 63 -2010 industrial backhoe. Its 4 cyl diesel. Its a POS tractor. However the backhoe is a great digging one. Very powerful hyd's and all the cyls leak and cant be fixed because of corrosion on the shafts that just wipe out the seals. Debbie named it old Leaky. But it beats the heck out of a shovel.
Hahahaha...I remember the talks about the POS hoe. LOL. But you're right...it sure beats a shovel and a wheelbarrow !! th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
my dad had a 1959 1010 with power steering. one dealer said nope didn't make one. another said they were sold only to municipalities and sold us a rebuild kit. didn't help much so we drove it with wobbling wheels. Dad died in 1975 and mom sold it with all equipment for $500. sure do miss it.
Dang, that's a sad story. There's a lot of tractors with power steering that wasn't installed at the factory. I sure wish you'd been given the chance to keep the little 1010 for yourself. I have my dad's old '39 Massey Harris...and that's a good feeling. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Wendell, I had a 1964 2010 way back yrs ago. It was a handy little tractor, but I luv the farmalls, so it went down the road. Great vid. I will check and see if I have any parts laying around for the 2010, and if I do, you can have them.
Hot dang, that'd be great !! These really ARE good little utility tractors. The tank on this this is loaded with rust !! One of the worst I've seen. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Wendell went to the va!!! ❤
Hot dang, I sure DID...!! How'd you know that..?? I finally got accepted into the VA program. Its taken a while.
@@tractorman4461 only the va gives those sun glasses out.
@@mountainman1961 Hahahahaha....busted !! Have a great day Virgle. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Hello I have a similiar style JD its a Meinheim 1967 diesel 710 it works very good . Hope you get the 1010 working
Thanks Bob. Me too !! It'll be another neat little utility tractor to help me out around here. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
My Dad had a 2010 and a MT
I'd take the 2010 over the MT, but I'd take the MT over a lot of other stuff though. How ya been ol' friend. Any trouble staying warm this summer out there in the desert..??!
@@tractorman4461 right now I am about 20 miles south of Pocatello Idaho. But the temperature is still about 95 today.
@@davescorneroftheworld1147 Dang Dave...and I thought you were gonna grow roots out west !! No matter, you'll do fine no matter WHERE you are my friend. Take care and drive safe in your awesome travels !!
@@tractorman4461 Well, Idaho is a LOT farther than West than Saint Louis..
I was in Bozeman, NT in late May then in Tulsa, OK then in Alamogordo, NM then back in Bozeman, MT. I am not sure which way I am headed next but I will have to start in the morning!!!
@@davescorneroftheworld1147 So cool Dave. I gotta admit a certain degree of envy of your travels. How's the RV doing...besides sucking some high dollar fuel, that is. We spent a bit of time in Bozeman Mt. too. It was a nice place to visit. Safe travels my friend !! th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Nice straight tractor
Yessir, it sure is. I just gotta spruce it up a bit internally now. Nothing beyond normal maintenance for one that sat a decade or so.
@@tractorman4461 we farm with old iron
@@jasonbeecher509 That's awesome. Most everything we do around the property is with the old equipment. Sometimes though we have to use the newer small Kubota's though.
@tractorman4461 our newest tractor by far is 2008 7230 John Deere. After that it's 40's, 50's, 60s and 70s ladies
@@jasonbeecher509 Now THAT's a serious upgrade from the old two bangers. LOL Awesome Jason. A buddy sent me this interesting link: th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
That was the first jd with the power reverser.
All the 440 and older stuff needed the clutch to change directions.
Even when they have a reverser.
.
Not a terribly popular model, has commen issues with manifolds and head gasket.
But use it if yea got it..
0.01c
It was a limited run of 4 or 5 years so I don't think it ever had the chance to be real popular. But once JD switched to the more universally accepted engine designs, they went whole hog !! The rest, as they say, is history. This was one of the first of the new generation of JD's to hit the market. Thanks Bruce for the added input. th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
Deere really set the tractor world a buzz when they brought out the "New Generation" tractors in 1961. Deere had pushed the two cylinder hp capacity about as much as they could and they had to go into a different direction, therefor the "New Generation" of tractors. You might find this video interesting: th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uNCw-tkQsgM3wxzK
Yes, the two cylinders pretty much maxxed out as far as utility is concerned. The tried and true ohv 4's and 6's were finally accepted as their only way for continued success in the future. Thanks for the link Terry, I will take a looksee. Btw, I found a radiator for the 50 JD up in Illinois about two hours away. I'm going after it Saturday morning.
I was waiting for you put in your theme music. Put a collared shirt and slacks. What they used to called $2 loafers. And you instantly become a TV cop show sergeant or maybe the captain. The theme song eyes looking for I can see clearly now that the rain is gone 🤣🤣🤣😔. Dilated pupils are interesting 🤔. 🚜 🧰😎
This time it affected me worse than ever before. Usually I don't need the super dark glasses after an hour or so...but this time, I wore them the entire afternoon. If I had a piano, I'd have done my famous Ray Charles imitation....or better yet, bust into 'Pretty Woman' like Roy Orbison !! A buddy sent me this link: th-cam.com/video/isFEahrGNsw/w-d-xo.html
