Hi Brad,
It's more or less the same tractor, with a smaller engine, hydraulic pump(4.5
GPM),tires,and less trans speeds. Still made between 1960 and 1865, 30 drawbar
HP, 36 PTO HP, weighs about the same 3900-5800#.
Row Crop (R), Single Wheel Row Crop (RS), Row Crop Utility (RU), Special Row
Crop Utility (RUS),Orchard (O), Utility (U), and Industrial Wheel (W) in
addition to two crawler types.
Serial numbers:
1960: 10001
1961: 13692
1962: 23630
1963: 32188
1964: 43900
1965: 53722

Check Ebay for manuals, also local John Deere dealers can get them.

that the parts were the same, and the 2010 replaced the 1010..but what liitle
research I have started looks like the 2010 was probably the next size up...
didnt matter to me since it started and ran well after sitting a whole year...
it was sweet!   I can not tell for certain if it is a row crop utility -looks
like there were a lot of overlapping options, but the pictures shown looks like
it matches the row crop utility.

chance  have stats on the 1010?  Or suggestion where I can locate owner manual
and parts manuals?  The old manual had some torn pages and I am not sure if it
matched seral number ranges or not- I need to check it out.    I am reckoning a
16 ft twin axle trailor will be quite adequate to haul it home.

hydraulics.. it has a front bumper and concrete weights so it must have enough
torque and traction to raise the nose... cant ask for more than that!

I need to find some kind of worm gear drive.... here we go another project!.

noticed it had a few  post factory welding modifactions performed on it...
being about 3,000 pounds of steel and cast iron, there will be many
opportunities to be creative and make some real attachments. ..
