Compare this to the normal Utility size of 9x24 or 10x24 in single rear wheels or 8.3x24 or 9.5x24 in duals. They seem to be regulary equipped with dual rear tires, and the size is only 18.4x16 (according to the parts book, from #50365 and onward). However they are a unique, and strange looking tractor! I don't know any production numbers or really what they were equipped with. It was based on the 1010 Utility and the tag is marked as a Utility. The Turf Special is one of those versions that I don't know a whole lot about. Agricultural versions couldn't get the reverser as an option.
JOHN DEERE 1010 DOZER SERIAL
You may notice that green ag crawlers have the industrial style grill! To tell the difference between the ag and industrial, look at the serial tag, ags will have an "A" prefix, industrials will have an "I" prefix. In fact, the agricultural 1010 crawler was based on the industrial version, which seems to rarely happen in Deere designs. This industrial verison of the 1010 adopted the industrial styling of the rest of the line. Unlike some bigger tractors there was a crawler version of the 1010. However, the 1010 was small enough to be a good loader tractor, or mower, that hydraulics or PTO may have been more common than on the other industrials. The axle was also "swept back" slightly, which would improve the turning radius.Īs usual for industrials, all hydraulics and PTO could be left off the tractor, if they weren't needed. The Wheel was the only 1010 to be fitted with such a front axle. The only major difference is that the Wheel had a heavy duty non adjustable front axle, and that the rear tread was also non adjustable. This makes them relatively harder to spot. Instead of the square nosed heavy duty look, the Wheel retained the agricultural styling of the Utility version on which it was based. The 1010 Wheel was an "exception to the rule" when compared to the rest of the industrial line regarding styling.
JOHN DEERE 1010 DOZER SERIAL NUMBERS
See the serial numbers for the 1010- here. There were two main industrial versions of the 1010 and they were the: (Click on the name to go directly to that tractor, if you like)ġ010 Sidewalk Snowplow (more info needed-ANYTHING) There were, of course, industrial versions made, and that is what we really care about! Or maybe just me. This led to some reliability problems down the road, making some consider the 1010 and the similarly designed 2010 to be the worst Deeres ever made. Its new engines (choice of diesel or gas) were never tested or refined to the degree of its bigger brothers the 30. It used older transmission parts/design with new engine. The 1010 was a mixture of new and old technology. The John Deere 1010 Industrial The Industrial 1010
