What Do I have?

[Old Junk Man]

Ive bought a JD industrial tractor with a backhoe & loader. At first I thought it was a 3010. Then maybe a 3020. However the engine exhaust is on the wrong side. its a 4 cyl diesel The machine originally was painted yellow.

Terrible paint job. We've had a ton of construction machinery stolen in Texas over the last ten years. That's about all I can say for now.

I guarantee this machine is over twenty years old. It came from state surplus the vo tech school owned it for a couple of decades. They are likely the ones who painted it.

I usually ask, "what model did the seller tell you it was?" Since it was surplus I guess you got it at auction? How was it listed on the bid list sheet?

The guy I bought it from is the one who purchased it at state slurplus auction. He told me it was a 4020? He didn't know much about it. The backhoe & loader part work ok. the transmission works ok. the power steering & brakes don't work at all. You can steer it but its Armstrong steering. and the brakes have pedal but it like pushing on the concrete. The Front pump supplys oil to the backhoe & loader only & it has a hyd tank on the fender. two entirely different separated hyd systems, the transmission pump provides hyd power to the brakes & steering. I know it working because the trans had three clutch packs and they wouldn't work without pressure. the steering has a sector like a vehicle power steering. it don't have any hyd steering sectors.

Well give it some time. Someone will be able to help you. Would be helpful if you at least knew the year. Is there not a model and serial number on the transmission plate?

Appears to be a 2010 or even a 1010. Probably 50 - 55 years old. Parts are getting very difficult to come by...at least for the ag models. The serial number plate on these models wer on the engine block.

 

[Old Junk Man]

I haven't been able to locate any serial numbers. I found where they should be at some one has removed them. the Vo tech has a body school and a diesel mech school. Ill bet those kids at the body school painted it. and they likely removed the brass plates. In kinda thinking it something that was special built to meet government bid specs?

I dunno this rig is pretty big. it likely weighs 6 tons. its not a Ag tractor. Its a industrial. the hard nose is made of 3/8 steel and it has a solid front axle. its built squat and low.

Deere made industrial versions of the 1010 and 2010. Some were only loader tractors and some had backhoes. The cast iron nose was standard equipment for the industrial versions. They had heavier front axles as well. Also made crawler versions.
