Can't find a replacement grille for my 1010 locally. The tractor has been repainted and looks like a gorgeous blonde with bad teeth!!Anybody know of aftermarket grille sources? New subject. I have a 3 pt snowblower for the 1010. You'd laugh yourself to death if you saw me trying to use it up here in Maine! At the required pto speed (1800) the reverse gearing is just too dam fast for me to coordinate the 3 pt, drive the 1010, and do anything but put on a comedy show for the pickup guys with the front mounted plows. The manual says to take "less" of the snow and do repeat passes. That's a waste of time and a LOT of snow in the kisser! Now I just use the scraper blade and chains, but that too takes a long time. Which brings me to my solution..You gotta love this... I need another vintage Deere to handle the snowblower! So, did Deere ever make a Johnny Popper with a real slow reverse? Of the later ones, what about a 3010 or a 3020? I'd really like a two cylinder, but what do others think? Thanks Jerry Williams
