My father wants to sell me John Deere 1010 � 1962 Model and very old Woods finish mower! Need to mow about 3 acres! It Runs ok but the Hydraulic lift leaks and when it gets s hot it will not work properly! I think it needs seals or to be rebuilt!
The Woods mower has some vibration and Boggs down very easy in taller grass! Not sure if the power take off or the mower that the has problem!
Water pump is leaking a little as well! I like to tinker with things I do my own brake jobs and oil changes on my automobiles! I do have a shop manual for the tractor! I am a lawn tractor kind of a guy but I Can�t afford to buy some thing nice in a rider mower right now! However, I think it would be cool to have and old John Deere to pass on to my sons.
I think I will get a good deal a very good deal if not for free! Any advice would be helpful!
Thanks!

1010 with a finishing mower? Sounds familiar to me, since that is exactly how I started with mine. But you have already answered the main issue I would raise -- and that I found trying to mow with mine. A finishing mower won't handle heavy, tall grass. I tried mine a few times and took it to an auction. Sold it for more than I paid for it and bought a regular J-D 5' pull-behind rotary mower for ten bucks more. Having said that, not many people in this forum think very highly of 1010's, but if you know the tractor and the experience your dad has had with it, you already know whether it is something you want to do or not.

I got some advice from another guy on a pretty simple solution to the hydraulic system problems that might work for you if you get the tractor and want to work on that aspect. Post again if you do.

Loren -

I have a 1010 that's having some problems like "MC Brown". I'm interested in learning about your solution to 1010 hydraulic problems.

Thank you,

Amber

I got the suggested solution from [email protected] He sent me a diagram of the hydraulic system from a service manual along with an explanation of what he did to solve his problem. In general terms, there is a port on each side of the pump housing. He removed the snap ring than used a needle nosed plier to reach in and take out a seal, plug, second stage check valve, check valve ball, rollpin, check valve and a shim. He put in another shim (it is shown as plural on the diagram), reassembled and it has been working great ever since. He said the shim was 25 cents and getting the parts out and back in was simple. I haven't tried it yet on mine, so you might want to contact him directly for additional encouragement and details.
