I've had that exact same thought! Putting the 4010 on a pto dyno and pulling it to it's knees and seeing only 60 hp should have been standard procedure at a Deere dea,er's shop. The guy that finally got the 4010 to run was Terry Warner, owner of Warner's Turbo Shop in rural Cambridge, Ill. He even did R&D work for M&W Gear. He came over one night after supper with his black bag of parts & tools. Somebody had ground the ends of the leaf spring in the inj pump, the engine was running wide open on 3 cylinders and about half throttle on the other three holes alternating thru the firing order. A decent Deere tech would have caught that. The guy Dad first took the 4010 to didn't do much if anything to the pump, and He worked on the R several years before that, which is why a stout FARMALL M would run circles around the R. The R's all had very weak PTO's so it was never dyno'd. The township road Commissioner who bought our R ran a 5 ft pto rototiller chewing up scarified oiled dirt roads, the Oliver 770 diesel I ran one summer doing that job handled it easily, the R shelled out the pto 4 times in 4 years and was sold, traded for the 770 Oliver. R was also the ONLY DEERE DIESEL with only 2 main bearings on the crankshaft, lug them long and hard enough and the crankshaft can and will break which pretty well destroys the big diesel engine. The salesman who sold the R to Dad warned him to NEVER lug it down in a hard pull. We normally pulled the IH #8 3-14 plow with the R. It was kinda a disappointment, that's why it was gone before we really got started planting corn.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: 1964 JD 2010 Dsl - Part 2 - by Jim Nielsen. Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
