    John Deere 2510 Horsepower Adder..

    Well, I guess the answer is that I will be borrowing my dad's tractor for a few more years. I know and like my 2510 and probably will never sell it or trade it. The used tractor market is high and full of other peoples problems. I doubt I would get much more out of an naturally aspirated...

    John Deere 2510 Horsepower Adder..

    I appreciate the responses thus far. I wouldn't call my property hilly, but it is definitely not flat and I don't bale high moisture hay. I don't want to hurt the tractor. Its a good runner and sometimes I feel that it makes fuel as efficient as it is. I just thought that I could turn a...

    John Deere 2510 Horsepower Adder..

    I have a John Deere 2510 Diesel Syncro. The tractor is in good shape with about 400 hrs on a full engine overhaul. It is rated at 50-55 hp PTO. I also have 458 standard round baler. HP requirements are 55 HP. I used my tractor to operate this baler once and it doesn't quite have enough to...

    John Deere 2510 Diesel - White Smoke...

    No offense taken here.. any help is appreciated. First question, I was cutting hay with the tractor, so it was up to temperature. The temp gauge works and a thermostat is installed. I never saw the temperature get any higher than normal. Second question, I drained some fuel out from the...

    John Deere 2510 Diesel - White Smoke...

    While cutting hay the other day my 2510 started stumbling and white smoke poured out of the stack. The engine has about 150 hours on a full overhaul. I limped it back to the barn and shut it off. The temp never got out of the normal range. A few days later I drained a little oil to see if...

    John Deere 2510 Transmission stuck....

    I finally freed up some time to get into this tractor. It turns out that one of the synchro disks was broken in 4 pieces in the low high range. I assume that was my problem. Before I just put it back together with new synchro disks I was wondering how to check the other components for wear...

    4020 Console 3 Point

    Thanks for everyones replies. I have a great start to troubleshooting. Being that this happened all of a sudden, it sounds more than likely a debris issue than an adjustment issue. I will check for debris in the rockshaft pressure valve and seat first. Just have to figure out where that is...

    4020 Console 3 Point

    The replaced line went from the pressure control valve under the dash to the rockshaft cover by the hydraulic dipstick.. Not sure if this is of any importance, but I figured I'd mention it.. Thanks!

    4020 Console 3 Point

    Finished bushhogging yesterday. Everything worked fine. Unhooked the bushhog and pulled away. Went to back the tractor in and I saw the 3 point arms creep up. The control lever was in the down position, but 3 point arms were at the top. Turned the tractor off and the arms went down. I let...

    John Deere 2510 Transmission stuck....

    Sorry for the delay in my response.. I don't visit the website that often and I thought I would get an email if anyone responded. I was wrong. Thank you all for the replies. Anyways, I had a John Deere tech come out and look at the tractor. He adjusted the shift linkages and stated that...
