Just Purchased JD2010

Just purchase our first tractor JD 2010 and it needs some work. This is our first tractor. Any suggestions where I can find parts online would be great. I need a new Rockshaft Cable and John Deere wants $400. Thanks jd2010

Congrats on your new (to you) tractor and welcome to the forum!

I'd start by doing a google search. That tractor was made about 40 years ago so you're going to be looking for places that either have NOS (new old stock - basically a new/not-used item for an older piece of equipment) or are parting out/salvaging a tractor. I'm guessing you could probably find one for under $100.

You may also need to have your serial number handy. It's not unusual to see something related to a part in that age tractor that may say something like "fits JD 2010 models with S/N nnnnnn and higher (or lower)". They're always "tweaking" the tractors so if they find a bug in an item, they'll switch it out on the newer models.

Your S/N will be found on the right hand side of the engine block.

I will try the searches based on your input. Thanks !!

Here is one for you. 92 bucks.

Even better ....one for $60 if they still have them. They are used.

Thanks Doc.

Both are sold out right now. I'm on the waiting list at Wenger. I will save the other website for furture use.

Thanks for all the help. Been on Google and have been able to find all my parts.
Got my Temp Gauge in. Can anyone tell my where it hooks into the engine. None of the Manuals are any help. All the pacakge says is it fits in the engine block, head or radiator. Thanks

Rather vague instructions huh. Sorry I don't know off hand but I'll see if I can find help somewhere.

Sorry, I did not find anything of value to help you out. Hoping one of our John Deere experts pops in here and answers your question.

Can you provide a link or something that shows what gauge you got? Did it come with a sending unit/lead?
