3010 countershafts

[Nate JD]

Do the 3010 countershafts interchange or do I have to get one with the same casting ( part) number
Also can I find the number through the top panel or do I have to split the tractor before I can order the part

3010 trans counter shaft fit only 3010

I know but I have been told there are two for the 3010 do they interchange straight across or do you have to change gears bearings ect.

you need to do a little checking but I think the back gear is difffert on early models and u will want to change all three back gears in the trany to the later style with will require the newer countershaft, the older style had trouble breakin of the teeth, so deere changed to diff helical pitch, hope this helps call your JD dealer and have then get you the newer part numbers

Read the part footnotes and that will answer your question. Please forgive my red penmanship as my nerve damage makes controlling mouse very difficult

He will also have to make sure he gets those other 2 parts with it if he has the early one as they all work together as an assembly.

That is true but my POINT was one needs to read part descriptions & footnotes to understand part applications & substitutions. I learned that fact back in the mid 1960's as an apprentice JD parts sales person.

The two top countershafts do interchange on a 3010.
I have a 1963 3010 That had the larger one in it. I had to replace it and in installed the smaller one.
I believe I had to replace the only the bearing. I did that about four years ago and never have a problem with the smaller one. The tractor mainly gets used as a loader tractor.
