    2010 diesel pistons

    Obviously whoever owned one or still does has the right to feel however they want about it. The ones that I own, however, work as they should. One of the diesels, at 4600 plus hours and no overhaul, still starts in sub-freezing temperatures with nothing more than 30 seconds on the glow plugs...

    2010 diesel pistons

    Yep, electrolysis doesn’t really care about brand or model. Replacing liners or blocks on any engine 60 plus years old is absolutely not unusual. So if I have to do it once in 60 years on a 2010, I don’t categorize that tractor as the worst John Deere ever made.

    2010 diesel pistons

    Personally I think all the issues with the cylinder liners is just internet fodder, a myth, people repeating what they read. There has only been one time - ever - that I have legitimately had to replace cylinder liners. And that was because the owner of the machine left the head off for about...

    2010 diesel pistons

    I have a friend who has an early 2010 diesel and his was hard to start, but all of mine are 1965 units above serial number 60000. If anyone has a diesel about 67000 and wants to get rid of it, I’m always looking.

    2010 diesel pistons

    Copy. I've got three diesels plus a gasser. I've had good luck with them. I'm always looking for the higher serial number units, above 67000. I was glad to find a source for new pistons as I've got one torn down for a rebuild and it saved me from scrounging used pistons.

    1010/2010 Question-Gas or Diesel?

    For a parade tractor, I would take a gas 2010 all day every day over a 1010. More room, better steering, more gears, bigger radiator/better cooling system, easier to diagnose/repair ignition issues more quickly.

    2010 wide front on a 2510

    Nope. Completely different front end.

    John Deere 2010 with loader

    I have gas and diesel 2010 models and have had no more issues with either one than any other 55 year old piece of equipment. I would stress that this has been one man's experience. This is not to say that I have not had problems, however, the problems I have run into, without fail, stem from...

    What is a fair asking price for a 2010d

    If it s got 13.9 x 36 rear tires, you will spend a ridiculous amount of money to replace, and that s IF you can find them. With these tractors, sitting unused and not running is probably the worst thing for them. There is a high probability that the injector pump and rest of the fuel system...

    Sounds good. I ll do all of the above and let you know how it works out. Any recommendations on which additive to use?

    2510 Diesel issues?

    I finished some paintwork on my diesel 1966 2510, fired it up to move it and noticed it was vibrating at 1400-1500 and up. At idle it's smooth. No black smoke throughout the RPM range. It has been sitting all winter and did not have this condition when I parked it last fall. My ears aren't...

    Gas 2010 initial smoke

    I don t know. I don t have the equipment to press in new guides or ream them out, so I took the head to a machine shop.

    Gas 2010 initial smoke

    Tom, I will try that. The thing that puzzles me the most is how consistently the smoke clears up. After 60-90 seconds, there is zero smoke out of the exhaust. The exhaust pulses out of the muffler are absolutely smooth; no misfire whatsoever.

    Gas 2010 initial smoke

    No, either conventional 10-30 or straight 30 weight.
