Just aquired a JD 1010 that has been setting up for about 8 years. Any this I should look out for besides changing all the fluids and filters, plugs..etc? Any other good resources on the web?

Thanks for all the replies, very helpful!
It is a gas burner, and was running well when parked 8 years ago. Would there be any real benefits to changing the ignition over to electronic? It has a 12 volt Positive ground and using a Prestolite distributor.

Make sure the clutch is free.
My 1964 1010RS gas is in regular service, nice little tractor.
Later,
Doug

Hope it 's a gas. The Diesels didn't hold up as well as a gas. They had the notorious "sleeve-and-deck" cylinder construction (all four cylinder sleeves joined to a deck plate at the top, was supposed to make overhauls easier, they made them more common, thass for sure) Not one of Deere's better innovations. This led to early failures (vibration-induced seal failure which caused oil and antifreeze to mingle). The gasses still had a "sleeve-and-deck" but they were not as prone to this problem as the Diesels with their increased vibration and stresses.

Well if has sat that long it be a good idea to fill the cylinders with tranny fluid and let it sit a day or 2 before turning the engine over. That will help brake down any rust in the cylinders and also lube the cylinders,rings and valves.
