Attached is a photo showing the distributor side of the engine and the blank connection where I believe a tachometer would connect. Is making the connection for the tack a machine shop operation or could I do it myself? I appreciate any help.

It's just a freeze plug you can pop out and if there is a gear on the dist. shaft you can install the tach. drive.And if the gear isn't there you can install one.All previsions are there you just need the parts.

It is a row crop utility special so I am sure that the gear won't be there. How does this plug pop out? Is it thin enough that a screwdriver could be driven in it and pryed out?

Thanks

My 1010 RU has a tach dial on the instrument panel. Are you saying that your RUS doesn't? It would make it tough to keep your PTO at 540 (or 1000) without one.

BTW, what a GREAT paint job! Good on you for taking the time and bucks to bring the old girl up to that condition!

The 1010 RUS was a stripped down version of the 1010 row crop, intended to
be less expensive. I have added an ammeter, and alternator/oil pressure
lights and a temp. gauge. JD really cut corners on this model. Even the
standard seat was a pan type with holes in it like the ones in the 40's and
50's The cusion type seat was an option and I am glad the previous owner
chose that. The tractor has no lights either but they can be added too. I
was a little disappointed to learn that a reputable company like John Deere
would sell a tractor with no tach or lights in the 1960's. Timing the
engine is difficult without a tach. But I should have done my research
before I bought it instead of after. I have also put on new tires. The tractor will be OK for what I want it for just puttering around and working on it. It has a few other problems like a dragging starter and a power lift with the hiccups.

The paint job looks better than it is. I hand sanded and scraped as best I
could and painted with spray cans. Used a lot of degreaser. Not bad but not professional and did not cost much. I used 3 different brands of paint and have learned that
there is as much variation in JD Green as there is with Farmall Red. I just added a couple more pictures.

That tractor looks great. And if you don't have bells and whistles, you have the same engine, gearing, etc., that the rest of us 1010 guys have. That is what matters. I paid (gulp) $800 to have my tractor painted by an auto body guy. He swore he would never do another tractor. Underneath and in nooks and crannies he painted over grease and gunk.

Wish I had done it myself and had it come out like yours.

What's that thing hanging off your 3 pt?

I am quite pleased with how the paint job turned out. I can keep it touched up. Highly recommend you use degreaser all over, even where there does not appear to be any grease. The paint bonds better. There will always be places you can't get too and some grease will bleed thru to the surface. Just clean and paint that area again.

The implement on the back is what is left of a 6 ft. blade. I cut it down so it is only 1 ft. wide and tapered. Good for digging up and pushing bushes. Also has a ball hitch on the back side for pulling a wagon.
