Here is a tractor I picked up last winter.  1962 John Deere model 2010 Backhoe.  I bought it as a non runner.  I could have cut it up and parted it out and made money on it.  Has really good rubber all the way around.  Actually I'm glad it's a running tractor now.  Plugged fuel line, first place I looked.  Everything works as it should, but still needs some TLC.  Glad to have it, will come in handy!!!

I had the same exact tractor. I had to take a quick look at where your at. I thought it was my old one. :D

I got alot of work out of that old girl but ran her too hard last summer putting in a septic system at our cabin. Broke a piston.  :'( :'(
word got around quickly and the next morning a local excavator came by. He offered to finish the job and take the tractor in trade. He ended up throwing in some cash and a couple loads of stone too. I sure miss having a hoe around.

Glad to see you got that old iron working again. Is that a gas motor or diesel? Mine was a 4 cylinder diesel.

Gas engine in this tractor.  This is my first backhoe but I know I will use it.

Nice JD and best of luck with it
