John Deere 1010 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 1010 was introduced in 1960 as part of John Deere's '10' series of tractors, replacing earlier models and offering improved performance. Production continued until 1965. The 1010 was available with either a gasoline or diesel engine. The gasoline engine was a John Deere built 4-cylinder engine with approximately 34 horsepower, while the diesel engine, also a John Deere 4-cylinder, offered around 40 horsepower. Engine displacement varied slightly between the gasoline and diesel versions, but both were relatively compact. The standard transmission was a four-speed manual gearbox, providing a range of speeds suitable for various field tasks. A five-speed transmission was also available. The PTO delivered around 30 horsepower at 540 RPM, suitable for powering implements like mowers, balers, and rotary cutters. The hydraulic system provided sufficient capacity for operating implements like loaders and 3-point mounted equipment. The 3-point hitch was typically a Category I, allowing for the use of a wide range of implements. The 1010 found common applications in row crop farming, hay production, and livestock operations. The John Deere 1010 distinguished itself with its compact size, fuel efficiency, and dependable performance, making it a popular choice for smaller farms and specialized tasks.
