    4010 John Deere wont stay in high side gears

    Two thoughts; spring on detent- broke and while in there, check alignment when in one of the high gears, look in plug hole, are things lined up? If need, adjust rod length at the top shift quadrant. Gear not sliding all the way to mesh its mating gear fully? Not all the way in gear? And...

    1952 JD A Serial Number

    Good point Steven. For the styled A, they had a water pump at serial number 700200 to the last John Deere A at 703304. Your tractor would be in that serial number range if you have a water pump. Year would be 1952 If not, the late styled JD--A could be from 1947 to 1951?
