First tractor split

[TXTN JD]

A first for me. 2510 diesel,
splitting to replace the rear
engine seal. Took longer than I
thought it would to build the
stand. Maybe a clutch job needed
as well, unless the plates are
supposed to have deep grooves in
them.

The deeper the better

I hope you have a later 2510 as the early ones have a very pricey rear main seal and the clutch is set very different than a 3020 or 4020 and they have their own tool

As was said below,you will need engine serial number to get the correct seal.it also requires a special tool to install the seal properly.maybe your dealer will loan you the tool.

If you have an early tractor do not buy that overpriced rear seal from Deere. Find a combine junk yard and buy a rear engine plate off a 3300 or 4400 combine and change your tractor to the latter style seal. Years ago a friend took my 2510 back plate and remachined it to fit the latter seal. Tom

It is a 1967 model, engine serial number greater than 047546, so I believe I lucked out with respect to the seal.

Thanks, about the stand. I was more or less trying to copy from photos on here of your stands (less the vertical braces) and 2510Paul's.

The 2 piece style work nice.. and the steerable wheels are much better than caster wheels..
