(quoted from post at 11:00:04 08/04/15) Cowdog, if the FACTS be known, with the possible exception of the not-so-good oddball sleeve/deck construction of the engine (gas or diesel), they really are a pretty average tractor for their era.
They were designed and built in Dubuque and carried forward an open-center hydraulic system with poor filtration and poor brakes, while their Waterloo cousins had closed-center hydraulics, good filtration, and hydraulic wet disc brakes, and a better engine design.
So, IMHO, the Dubuques were very similar to many other tractors built at the time, and the Waterloo Deeres of that era were AHEAD of their time.
That is where the difference REALLY stands out, comparing Deere to Deere.
I don't know how much direct experience "old" has had with them, but he really likes to BASH them to excess, IMHO.
(quoted from post at 12:07:17 08/04/15) Just to let you know they have an odd sleeve set up where all 4 sleeves are part of a flat plate that sits on top of the block so it uses 2 gaskets to install the sleeve and head. Also JD does not have that part any more and if you can find a sleeve set it will be $500 plus and hat is just the sleeves
hat is fantastic in holding back on inflation for 7 to 10 years! To be commended for sure!(quoted from post at 22:04:23 08/04/15) That price quote was from around 7-10 years ago when I checked on the parts for the 1010 I have here that is now just a parts machine since parts are hard to find and cost a lot more then most other tractors. Plus the 1010 and 2010 where built in such a way a lot of times you have to remove 3 parts to fix the problem area
