3010 parts and accessories
The John Deere 3010, manufactured from 1961 to 1964, was a popular utility tractor known for its reliability. Powered by either a gasoline or diesel engine around 50 horsepower, it offered a robust PTO for powering various implements. Farmers appreciated its versatility in tasks ranging from plowing to powering hay balers, solidifying its place in agricultural history.
The John Deere 3010 was produced from 1961 to 1964 and represented a significant upgrade in John Deere's utility tractor lineup. It was available with two engine options: a John Deere 4-cylinder gasoline engine producing approximately 51 horsepower, or a John Deere 4-cylinder diesel engine, also rated at around 51 horsepower. Both engines had a displacement of approximately 202 cubic inches. The 3010 typically featured a synchro-range transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for a good range of speeds for various field operations. The PTO horsepower was around 43 HP at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system had a capacity of approximately 14 gallons per minute and often included two remote valves. The 3-point hitch was a Category II, providing a lift capacity of around 2,800 lbs. Common applications for the John Deere 3010 included row crop work, hay production, livestock operations, and light tillage. It distinguished itself from earlier models with improved hydraulics and operator comfort. The 3010 also had a larger frame size compared to some of its smaller predecessors, giving it greater stability and power for demanding tasks.

Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 125-250 hours using a high-quality oil appropriate for diesel or gasoline engines, following John Deere's recommended specifications.
- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and replace the hydraulic filter every 500 hours. Use only John Deere Hy-Gard or equivalent hydraulic fluid to prevent damage to seals and internal components.
- Fuel System: For diesel models, drain the water separator regularly to prevent water contamination in the fuel system. Use a fuel stabilizer during seasonal storage to prevent fuel degradation and injector clogging. For gasoline models, ensure proper carburetor adjustment.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the winter, drain the fuel tank (especially gasoline models) or add a fuel stabilizer, change the engine oil and filter, grease all fittings, and disconnect the battery. Store the tractor in a dry place, if possible.
