Yes, and maybe that's how it wound up in the junk yard? Maybe some guy tried to fix it, got disgusted, and gave up - maybe even accused the problem on being a Deere 1010? 1010s and 2010s do get cursed about, a lot.
I've been running this thing for years like this. I've always timed it with a timing light hooked to #1 cylinder. So, I'm going to assume that some other cylinders were always out of time?

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
