John Deere 2010 Tractor Parts
2010 parts and accessories
The John Deere 2010 tractor, produced from 1960 to 1965, was a versatile workhorse for many farmers. Powered by either a gasoline or diesel engine delivering around 40 horsepower, and featuring a 35 PTO horsepower, the 2010 gained popularity for its compact size and adaptability to various farming tasks. Its reliable performance and ease of maintenance made it a staple on small to medium-sized farms.
The John Deere 2010 was introduced in 1960 as part of Deere's 'New Generation' tractor lineup, replacing older models and incorporating updated styling and engineering. Production continued until 1965. It was offered with a choice of engines: a 154 cubic inch gasoline engine producing approximately 40 horsepower, or a 165 cubic inch diesel engine with similar power. The transmission was typically a 4-speed transmission with a high-low range providing 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. The independent PTO delivered around 35 horsepower at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system had a capacity of approximately 8 GPM, powering the 3-point hitch, which was a Category I. The 2010 was commonly used for row crop work, haying operations, livestock feeding, and light tillage tasks. What distinguished the 2010 was its compact size and maneuverability compared to larger tractors in the John Deere lineup, making it ideal for farms with limited space or those requiring a more agile machine. Later 2010 models came with improved transmissions and hydraulics.
