    funny

    I absolutely refuse to use those things. Ill leave a full buggy sitting there and walk out before I give a company as rich as Walmart free labor by ringing up my purchases. If they would give something like a 10% discount I would consider it. But Im not doing it for free.

    3010 Diesel won't start

    Yeah, I didn't notice the date until after I had posted. I found this thread via a search engine and didn't think about looking at the date until after I had posted. I started a new thread in the John Deere Tractors discussion board.

    Hobby farm John deere

    Don't know where you are located or what kind of ground you have but in the 1970s and early 1980s I spent a lot of time on a 4020 pulling a chisel plow and a disk. We were mostly in a sandy loam type of soil and it had been row cropped for years so we weren't breaking new ground. With a 1972...

    Detroit diesel 4-71 start up

    My brother ran a 6-71 (238 hp) in an old Emoryville for a few years. If the temp was below 60*F just make sure you have a couple of cans of ether to get it started. If it's not slobbering oil and fuel somewhere it's probably about ready to blow up. If you decide to run it just slam your fingers...

    3010 diesel won't start

    While trying to get it to start I had it in 7th gear. The fuel shut off on the injection pump was all the way forward and fuel would come out when I loosened the lines going both into and out of the injection pump. While pulling the tractor, the engine was turning over well enough that it almost...

    3010 diesel won't start

    The batteries are down on my 3010 so I tried to pull start it today. Had my wife pulling it while I drove the tractor. Pulled it for a mile or more. It refused to pop off. I cracked some fuel lines and had fuel both into and out of the fuel pump. It ran fine the last time I used it about four...

    3010 Diesel won't start

    Not to hijack your thread but I'm having the same problem with the same model tractor, 1963 3010 diesel. Started and ran fine about 3 or 4 months ago. Batteries are down so I decided to pull start it. Had my wife pull it for over a mile with my pickup and it never hit a lick. Cracked a couple of...

    50:1 outboard fuel mixture in my tractor?

    Depending on how old your tractor is, it might be the thing it needs. When my dad first started farming with tractors back in the 1950s he had one that would run on just about anything liquid that would burn.

    Hands on fire (OT)

    I don't know if it will help in this instance or not but diesel fuel or kerosene will draw the poison out of a bee sting. Have used it many times.

    OkDont laugh~ But Ive got to ask

    Back in the 1970 (I think) Chevy ran a tv commercial showing a Chevy pulling a 4 bottom plow. Might have only been 3 but I think it was 4.

    Wide jaw wrenches

    We called Adjustable wrenches "Kentucky Knuckle Busters" or "Arkansas Speed Handles." Of course, since I'm from Mississippi I'm sure that folks from Kentucky and Arkansas had some tools that utilized "Mississippi" in the name. :-)

    JD 3010 and hydraulic cylinder

    Forgot to add, I am located in Cleveland, MS but the tractor is at my mom's place near Booneville, MS. Hopefully, I can find one fairly close by. Thanks for the replies.

    JD 3010 and hydraulic cylinder

    First post. I am excited to be on this forum. I was recently able to obtain my dad's 1963 John Deere 3010 which he bought new in 1964 (left over inventory). He sold it to a neighbor in about 1992. The neighbor passed away earlier this year and I was able to buy the tractor from his partner. Dad...
