John deere 1010 motor swap

Hi I have a 60's jd 1010 with a blown gas motor I was wondering if a gas motor out of a jd 480a all terrain forklift would work in the 1010

No. A Deere 480 uses a 300 series engine and is
totally different. Only bolt-in swap engines for
your 1010 are from 1010s, 2010s, and several
combine power units and peanut harvesters. The HA-
165 makes a nice replacement engine for a 1010.
And to be technical, a two-cylinder engine from a
420 probably has the same bolt pattern. In fact,
a two cylinder 420 engine is also near the same
size in cubic inches. 420 two-banger is 113 cubic
inches and the 1010 four-cylinder is 115 cubic
inches.

The 40 combines used the same engine didn't they John? And I was thinking the 2010 used the same engine as the 45?

Here's some info. The 145, 155, and 165 will replace a 1010 engine regardless if a 115 gas or a 145 diesel.

“H” is “Harvester Works, “T” is “Dubuque”,
“G” is “gasoline” and “L” is “LP gas.”
Some 45 Combines have Hercules JX-4C-3
180 Power Unit is not a 1010/2010 type engine



Deere 45 combine engines:

145 Power Unit
165 Power Unit
155 Power Unit
165 Power Unit



HA-155D sleeveless engine used in 45 combine
HB-145L
HB-145G
TA-145G
TA-145L

HA-165D - diesel used in 45 combine - ser # 45-2996 - 45-46000)
HA-165G - gas used in 45 combine - ser # 45-35001 - 45-46000
HB-165D - diesel used in 40 combine
HB-165G - gas used in 111 peanut combine

Ok. I am new and dumb on computers. Here goes. I picked up a 1010 dozer recently. Gas. The previous owner reported water out of the exhaust and parked it about 14 years ago. I pulled the head and the gasket was blown on two cylinders. I discovered that the engine is a HB 165 G out of a 111 peanut combine. The 165 had the old 115 head installed but I got the 165 head with the parts. Seems the combustion chamber on the 165 is much bigger to accommodate the addition swept volume of the 165 as well as having dished pistons. I cc'd the heads and its 80 cc v/s 52cc. I calculate that the small head gave this 165 a compression ratio of about 10.50 to one. No wonder the gasket blew! Probably running reg. gas also. I have gotten the motor unstuck and it is turning freely with the starter. Here is my question. I have drained the junk I dumped on these stuck pistons out and put new oil and filter in. When turning the motor with the starter I am building oil pressure to 40 psi according to the old mechanical gauge. I would guess the motor is turning about 300 to 350 rpm with the starter and no head. I have noticed that the oil gallery that leads up to the head and then the rocker shaft only put out a very small amount of oil volume with not pressure build up with a finger over it. I have also noticed that the oil in this gallery does not drain back over night as the big feed galleries do. I have used various probes from the oil send area and from up above and can not figure out the schematics. Do I have a problem or am I dreaming up a problem that's not there. I should note that I have disassembled the rocker shaft and seen no signs of oil starvation from when it was parked. I am familiar with the oil route through the head and the cut stud that feeds the rocker shaft. I also have the 165 head ready to go back on but can't find a head set for it. I am told the 115 head set will not work. Any thoughts or places to get parts are appreciated. JD has the head set but the price is out of site!
