4010 diesel

[rick brandt]

what is a acceptable compession test on a well used 4010 tractor

As high as possible. That's a hard question to answer really. Same as asking how much tread is left on a used tire?? No pun intended .. Just get a average throughout the six cylinders. Shouldn't be less then 10 psi difference between the cylinders. That's what I use on a gasser tho. Should be able to get away with a bigger difference on a diesel. Tim S should know too.

I don't have a 4010 service manual but I'll guess 300#'s. At least this will bump your thread back to the top on Modern view.

Anything over 300 is usually acceptable for most diesel engines. You also dont want more than 10psi difference between any cylinders.

My 4020 (66 with 6.5k hours) tested 375 on 5 and 360 on 1 cylinder almost 2 years ago. Runs good.
