My grand dad bought the first JD 4010 sold at the local dealer. Since we are here in north eastern Iowa it had a serial number in the first hundred built. He traded it in in 1970 for a new JD 4020. The 4020 had more power but did not run as smooth as the 4010. Anyway I have been trying to track that 4010 down now for almost ten years. It has had four different owners since he traded it. One of these was a jockey that passed on twenty years ago.
I still have the original purchase order, warranty card and bill of sale. I tracked it to Northern Wisconsin last year. I had it narrowed down to two towns. The current owner called me this afternoon after seeing an ad I ran in the local paper there. He emailed me some pictures of it and a close up of the serial number. He has sold his farm is moving to town. So I now own that JD 4010. It has been off the farm now for 41 years.
I will try to get you some pictures when I get it home. I plan a complete tear down and rebuild. I did the 4020 five years ago. I went down to the casting and started out. Spent $16000 on parts and machining on that one. Made it better than new. Had the engine balanced and ported the head and intake. It runs like a Swiss watch now.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
