1965 John Deere 2010 - Need to install hydraulic line to run hay bine

millfarm00 · Jul 29, 2013

Recently bought a 1965 John Deere 2010. It has no power steering. I am trying to figure out how to tie into the lift system so I can run a hay bine. Need help.

Here are your hyd.

Hydraulics:
Type: open center
Capacity: 8 gal [30.3 L]
Pressure: 1150 psi [79.3 bar]
Valves: 1 or 2
Total flow: 11 gpm [41.6 lpm]

What hyd do have now.

If you have a valve with a PB port you can add a valve with PB and connect it in series with the hyd flow.

The tractor does not have power steering. It has a 3 point lift only. I have searched for a accessible port or plug with no luck.

2010's have a very unique hyd system. 2010 did not get the reputation of being the WORST tractor JD ever built for no good reasons. My 1st advice would to locate a different tractor to pull hay cutter. My 2nd advise would be to locate/install a factory remote hyd valve such as the one in the parts schematic which attaches to tractor under the dash.

I looked at the attachment, but need guidance as to exactly where this remote would attach.

Beats me why your would purchase a 2010? Even die hard JD fans hate the 2010 for good reason.
If you insist on using the 2010 instead of trading it off . Just tie an open Center scv valve in series with the rockshaft supply. It's just a simple open Center system.
