John Deere 2010W

[Oldmanfran]

Hello. Restoring an old diesel 2010W with loader and hoe. Trying to avoid splitting the tractor if possible as the implements add considerable work and i don't have the garage space or heavy equipment to help. Going to pull the engine, was hoping to slide the engine forward to disengage shaft while removing and replace the clutch at the same time or I'm going to have to split? Basically trying to rebuild engine and replace clutch without having to completely separate both halves. Thanks!

I am going to say you will need to split it at the clutch housing to separate the engine from the chassis. The clutch will come out with the engine, as it is mounted to the flywheel.

The service manual gives steps for removing the engine. If you don't have a copy of the service manual you should get one so you have the specs and info to do your engine overhaul as well.

You likely already know this, but that engine does not have regular type individual sleeves. Have you located a cylinder deck and pistons in case you need them?

Thanks for the reply. The deck plate/ sleeves are are available. Not cheap but available.

Apparently these could be oversized pistons for the deck sleeve engine ? https://www.worthingtonagparts.com/...DLjsjvFwNBLLuAKDykUKVFWzPla9xexSdk3SQexcElIVl

Looks like it. Not sure how much far oversized I will need yet though. As far as I can tell, this engine has never been apart.

I've looked up the parts prices ahead of time. Deep enough to fix up an old tractor I guess.
