I have a 1961 John Deere 3010 Utility Diesel tractor. The engine had a rod knocking, I had the engine rebuilt. Wow, what an expense to do. I have hopes of completely restoring this tractor someday, I just love the size and power it has. Such a nice tractor for work on a small farm. It also has a 46 loader which was originally a trip bucket but I have converted it to a hydraulic bucket. The front tires are probably 99%, the rear are about 80%. Xilog maestro software download. There are no factory remote outlets, but I have included a set on the loader controls. I've been able to restore the fenders, hopefully in the spring I can include some photos of those. The next project should probably be a new right hand rear tire, then the front steering motor and bushings.
Re: JD 3010 Industrial serial number!!! Hi,I had my serial # replaced on my 3010 industrial at a John Deere dealership by a blockman.It has to be done and witnessed in his presence since alot of tags for rare tractors have been stolen and then shown up on other tractors.I had to fill out an application at the dealer and it was a fairly long.

I've had to do a complete rewiring. So much fun. You can follow my progress on http://charliemckinley.com/wordpress
A brief synopsis of the rewiring. My first suggestion is to check your regulator. Make sure it is clean, not corroded and functioning properly. Had I done this, I'd have saved a generator and a battery. Had I checked it five years ago, I may have put off the complete rewiring for another 5 years or so. But I am pleased as can be that it is now rewired. I found a few things that also may help someone else.
- 3010/Gary_Wece_Wire_Diagram_colored.pdf this diagram is perfect. This is exactly how my tractor needed to be wired.
- JD_Light_Circuits_partially_colored.jpg, JD_Starting_Circuits_colored.jpg and JD_Wire_Paths.jpg are perfectly fine diagrams from John Deere if you buy their wiring harnesses for $550 plus. I was able to use these to do a partial comparison with Gary Wece's diagram to feel very confident in Gary's work.
