John Deere 4010 engine weight

NakeDiesel · Dec 7, 2020

I'm in the process of tearing down and going through my 4010. I have a long list of items that need attention and while it's apart it will be getting blasted and repainted while apart. I'm to the point where I am ready to pull the engine off and wondering how much it actually weighs. I've searched quite a bit and can't find anything. Just wanting to make sure my cherry picker is enough or if I need to get my skid steer in the shop and use it to pull the engine off.

List of repairs needed:

Front hydraulic pump refreshed
Steering box rebuilt
Front steering rams rebuilt
all bearing replaced in front axle
engine rebuilt
new clutch
brake housing rebuilt
brakes replaced
transmission low range fixed
various other leaks address
some tin replaced that is damage beyond repair
engine block either repaired or replaced due to broken frame mount holes
new rear wheels and tires

The broken frame attaching bolt hole will be be very challenging to repair. If it were my tractor I'd be looking for a later style engine.

Yeah, I'm looking at trying to track down a 4020 block and frame rails. The mount points up front have 4 for the 4020's where I had 2 on my 4010 block.

Have you considered attempting to locate a 404 CID combine engine? JD did list engine weight on their parts site but removed the parts spec's about 3 months ago

no, I haven't even tried calling around yet to the salvages here in OK.

Been dealing with a busted line to the ******* in my shop this morning where it flooded the shop. Not sure how many gallons of water we have pushed out with a squeegee and sucked up with my big shop vac.

I can't find weight of complete engine, but a short block is listed at 855 lbs. If you add an oil pump, cast iron pan and cylinder head you will be close to 1200 lbs. Then add flywheel and clutch assembly and you are probably near 1400-1500 lbs.
