John Deere 1010

[Ralph Padilla]

Bought this tractor from owner who also could not figure out this problem either.Tractor will start sometimes and will idle for a while but the problem is that it won't accelerate and dies out after about two minutes of idling. Has the roosa-master injection pump and thinking of removing to take local shop for overhaul. Am I doing the right thing or is it another problem?

not familiar with your particular engine, but with others i'd change the fuel filters first. check for full fuel flow to the filters. could have something in the tank.

Mine has 2 fuel shutoffs on it. One going to the filters and one return from the pump itself. Could be that second one is shut off and not allowing the excess fuel to return to the tank.

It's very likely the plastic weight-retainer ring on the governor flyweight assembly has fallen apart. Common problem on all the DB and JDB pumps used on 1010s, 2010s, 1020s, 2020s, 350s, 450s, etc.

THANK YOU all who responded. Now can anyone please tell me what problems if any I may encounter in removing pump so I can have it serviced. Also in putting pump back in.
