I have a '63 JD1010 gas that is mechanically sound except for the engine. It was burning oil and I was planning to rebuild but now I'm getting water in the crankcase. Is it economically feasible to attempt a rebuild or should it be parted out?

I would not recomend fixing the 1010 unless you have lots of bucks. Sam

Had one of the best running 1010, late model 65. They made the early model to about 30,000 serial # then they changed the rear end...beefed the tractor up. Personaly even though the tractor ran good....the engine was of poor design, lacking low end torque. It was one of those JD's that probably shouldn't have been made. They corrected all of this with the 1020, great tractor.

When JD came out with the "New Generation" of tractors the 1010 and 2010 sort of got thrown together as a comnbination of old and new. Think the 2010s got the worst of it as most people seem to get along well with thew 1010. I'm not sure of the configuration of the engine on the 1010 gas. I know the 2010 had sleeves that were hooked to a plate on top, think they were wet sleeves so if that is the case on the 1010 it might be just and that to O rings on the bottom of the sleeves are bad rather than a crack in the head or block. worth checking anyway. If you have a parts book you can check it out, otherwise you might want to get one if you are going to keep it.

Thanks Dan, It does have wet sleeves. I didn't think about the o-rings on the bottom. I may have it torn down and check it out. It's a tricycle with power steering and is great little tractor to rake and move wagons with. I just don't want to dump a pile of money into for what we use it for.

I used to run a 1010 when i worked for the city,it had a mid-mount sickle mower on it ,it always ran good, the only thing i didn't like about it is that it was hard to turn! but it was a good tractor.

My limited experience is in the Eastern Michigan area. My wife's uncle has a '66 1010 with an endloader and it is a workhorse. A friend down the road restored a 1010 to use as a utility tractor, grew tired of it and sold it and made good money on it. They are a nice size and are very well made. Only downside for everyday use is lack of power steering.

If it is in any shape and you don't have to get a new block, I would think you could easily get out your investment if you decide to sell. They are just a nice size utility tractor. Don't know how rare for collecting though.

IMHO,

JU
