We sold them new, and most are still around being used. No major design flaws that I know of. Just the things typical to almost all Deere tractors with closed-center hydraulics and cold-cranking problems.
Some Deere people do not like German or Dubuque tractors with the "two stick" transmissions, that's all. Nothing wrong with them, just not like a Waterloo Deere with a Syncrhorange or Powershift.
The only thing that can be more of an issue with the 2630, then some others, is if it has the optonal hydraulic independent PTO. The steel trans-pump lines can vibrate and fall out - but not a big issue. Most were updated and fixed. Also, if you use a brush hog without an over-running clutch, you can break off the automatic PTO brake-band pretty fast.
Also, the 300 series four-cylinder engine has twin balancing shafts - unlike most Waterloo tractors that use a gear-box for balancing four-bangers. That is, except for the 2510 and 2520 Deere "hybrids." If those shafts are worn, the engine will lose oil pressure once it gets good and hot.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
