The engine problems have been covered pretty good by the earlier postings. The sleave deck system was a bad design period. They are making them now, about fifteen years ago JD quit making the sleave deck for a few years. The cost has came down on the gas sleaves the diesel is still high: Gas # AT15761 $669.51 Diesel # AT15762 $1123.51. Plus the gas JD 2010 is like many early JD gas engine they don't run the best on the cheaper gas we have today.
The biggest issue I have had with the JD 2010 is the hydraulic system. The pump is a nightmare to change out the bottom like the manual says to do it. I have been splitting them for the last 10-15 years as I can do the job easier and just as fast as fighting the steel lines up in the belly. The control valves always where tough to get to work correctly. It is many times a hit or miss if you can get them to function even half right. The system is a low pressure low flow system too. They usually had 1700-1800 psi and 6-8 gallon a minute flow. I know they where rated higher but very few would ever have close to the rated flow or pressure.
The transmission linkage was weak and if you tried to speed shift them much the shifter linkage would bend and get out of adjustment. The transmission was modified and different from the 420 and 430 it replaced. Many think they are similar they are not. Very few of the parts will interchange.
If you buy one make sure it is a gas and the utilities seemed to have fewer problems. More than likely the row crop version got worked harder.
As to the poster below: The JD 2020 was built in Dubuque,Iowa and Mannheim Germany, plus a few in Mexico. The design was a Mannheim one. It was derived form the Lantz tractors. They where not even a good comparison to the JD 2010. The JD 2020 was rated only 8 hp bigger but they had mush more torque than the JD 2010 could ever think about. I have owned three different JD 2020s they all where pretty good tractors. Have one that gets used just about everyday now.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
