Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
Gasoline and diesel builds of the John Deere 1000 and 1010 crawler tractor split at the engine, and this 448-page John Deere 1000, 1010 service manual PDF (John Deere SM2034) settles which procedure belongs to your machine. Wiring diagrams trace the diesel lighting and starting circuits and the gasoline ignition side terminal by terminal. The Hydraulic Direction Reverser takes one of the longest chapters in the book, schematics included, while the Series 10 Winch, final drives, steering clutches and brakes, and the 3-Point Hitch and drawbar each carry their own teardown sequences and trouble shooting charts. Set steering lever free travel at 7/8 to 1 inch at the starter switch, and check the clutch pressure spring at 141 to 157 pounds at a height of 1-11/16 inches. Guessing costs you a second teardown, or a reverser bought twice. Bookmarked and text-searchable, it prints clean, so the pages can ride out to the field and take grease.
