| We purchased a 196? JD 4010 gas this last summer that we are going to use as a loader tractor. By serial # it was built during the last year they were made, but I can't remember what year that was. It has what appears to be 2400 hours. The tractor is not beat all to pieces, so we think that the hours are right. While it has been run, it has not had a lot of use for the last 15+ years. As we want a good starting, reliable loader tractor we have tried to update/redo the tractor without spending big $$$ yet. We had to clean and reline gas tank, new fuel pump, installed electronic ignition, new plugs, all new wiring harnesses, and a new long skinny battery, (which won't hold a charge for more than 2 weeks). We did clean the carb which appears to be the original aluminum bodied carb. While the tractor will eventually start, it certainly isn't the easiest/most realiable starter on the place. It also wants to cough and it seems like I have to be adjusting the choke way more than any other tractor. We priced a new carb from mother deere and it was $700+, so that wasn't a real desirable solution at this time . Is there a fuel injection unit that we can convert it too? I read somewhere that the long skinny battery was kind of junk and to install a regular sized rectangle battery on it. Good idea or bad? Shortly after we bought this tractor we were at another place and the guy had the same type of 4010 gas as ours and it ran like #$%# also, and he was a JD mechanic. That kind of makes me wonder about the tractor. Thanks for the help. | |
