Project Tractor
Model Year: 1962
I was born on John Deere B and grew up on John Deere A. I've been away from tractors for 50 years or so and, on a whim, bought the 2010 off the internet. Tractor has really been used and abused but still in pretty good shape.Good sheet metal and rubber. Higher gears of synchro-mesh tranny are out but have lower half and all reverses. PTO sounds like a head-on collision when try to engage a PTO driver device. Other wise in pretty good shape. Have started with the obvious: fluids changed, grease, cleaned electrical, cleaned carb, etc. Next steps are repack/rebuild front hubs, repair sheet metal, sand blast, paint, decals, muffler, repair electrical, and improve remainder of mechanical. Hope it will be a fun project w/o too much expense?
Pros: Runs and drive great.
Cons: Abused in past.
