A single front wheel version is also rarely seen. The base version had a narrow (two-wheel) front and adjustable rear track, along with a 3-point hitch, drawbar, two-speed PTO (1000 and 540 rpm) and clamshell fenders. The 1010R (R for “Rowcrop”) was the base ag model.

Where the 30 were very much clean-sheet-of-paper designs, the 10 were less so. It also has the power adjust rear wheels for easily changing rear wheel track. When the 1010 debuted, the narrow front tractor was just starting its popularity decline. By most reports, a variety of front axle configurations among the rowcrops is not unusual. The swept back axle shortened the wheelbase by almost five inches, reducing the turning radius considerably. It’s pretty standard except that it was ordered with the swept-back front axle typically found on the 1010W industrial units. Fred and Marilyn Haber’s 1962 1010RU Rowcrop Utility is picture perfect. It was offered in an impressive array of configurations that made it highly versatile in the ag and commercial markets. At the bottom end of the line was the 1010, which was a compact unit suitable for a smaller farmer or as a utility tractor on a large farm. Beyond this unit is a gas 1010R, with the typical two-wheel narrow front.įour tractors were introduced, the 1010, 2010, 30, and they ran the range of size and output. It pivoted in the same place as the straight axle but the axle beams swept back nearly five inches. Here the swept back front axle is more apparent. This event heralded a heyday for Deere and a jump-start towards the head of the American tractor manufacturing pack. A few of the old generation stayed in production briefly but the new tractors featured inline engines and the larger units were new from head to toe. They called it the “New Generation of Power” and gone were most of the long running “Poppin’ Johnny” two-cylinders that had been the mainstream for decades. Can anyone provide me with information about this doezer, such as previous problems? Thanks.John Deere transformed itself on August 30, 1960, when it unveiled a completely redesigned line of tractors and a new focus. I don't want to remove the turbulence (combustion) chambers from the engine, but may have to, as well as the head. What can I do about the head? Is it possible to have the head welded by an engine shop, and have little or no compression leaks from that area? Is this dozer rare? I have the idea that there were about 367 made, which sounds a little odd. The head is also cracked somewhere, I was told in the exhaust valve seat. ![]() What else can I do to help the engine become free? Heating and cooling, with a torch? I would imagine that would cause stress on parts. I have filled the upper bores of the engine (intake side) with diesel fuel and penetrating oil, and poured some diesel fuel down the exhaust manifold. The dozer must have sat outside for some time, at least before I started working for him (knew him since I was smaller than the height of the tracks!) I would guess moisture managed to get into the bores while sitting one of the cylinders was probably exposed by having the exhaust vavle pushed in or intake valve. It is tired needing an engine rebuild from low compression, steering clutches, and reverser clutches (this is equiped with a reverser.) I guess it is mine now, or at least till it is running. He used it in the early 80's while building his home, as well as his mother's. ![]() The fellow who I help and work for here in Western NY happened to have an old 1962 John Deere 1010 Dozer with a 4 cylinder diesel engine in it. With the hobby of old iron, I decided I needed another "vehicle" besides my 1963 Cub Cadet. I collect old hit and miss engines, and other odds and ends. Hello, I am 14 years old an currently, well, and engine nut. ![]()
