Scott, I just bought a 1010, 1962 model. It was in such great shape, I couldn't pass it up. Runs good, but the radiator leaks, and the carb. needs some work. I plan on using a 5' brush hog with it.

Let me offer you a tip on your carburetor work. Once you get it off the tractor, look at the inlet where the gas line was connected. There is a hex brass fitting that goes into the carb there. Actually it holds a fine screen inside the carb. If you don't take it out and clean it completely out, whatever else you do to the carb will be fruitless. I found the screen in mine to be nearly completely plugged.

I had a 1010rus some years back. It was diesel and a good hard working tractor. Although I remember that a 6' bush hog in heavy clump grass would lug it down. The hydraulics were good for a tractor of that size. The two drawbacks that mine had were the rear tires were just enough off sized to be darn expensive and the clutch adjustment was a real pain; it's difficult to determine the actual position of the linkage because adjustment is made by turning the end of a shaft with an eliptical cam that makes the adjustment. Most of the linkage is inside the clutch housing. (never had any problem with cylinders/sleeves etc.)

The 1010 parts tractor I used had those ^%%$#$ odd ball 36" rear tires. A gas 1010 is just fine. Just don't overheat a diesel of gas sleeve/deck engine and expect to get away with it. Or to be able cut corners on repairs/machine shop tasks.

That serial number would make it a 1965 (mine is a '63). I would guess from what you have said that there IS an "S" between the RU and the 5. RU stands for Rowcrop Utility, and if it is a Special model there would be reason for an S to be included. But I don't know what the "special" designation indicates. Do you know?

From what I've been reading the s or special was the lo end form of the 1010 and did not have many options available. One that I know of was a cushioned seat. Hanen't found much more on it yet.
