FORGOTTEN John Deere 5010. Will it start and DRIVE home?

I found another gem that needs my care! A retired 5010 John Deere that has been sitting in a barn for 20 years!

[@tannerfamilyfarms3450]

Leave the cab, that's her character. And leave the patina, and put her back to work.

Everyone takes the cabs off, someday there won't be any good examples left with the cabs.

Totally agree, that cab would,ve been so envied back in 63

As some else said leave the cab on the ole girl. That's part of her. Great old looking tractor. She wants to go back to work.

Only original once , great cab and patina, spit n shine job done . Spend your valuable time on a more needy project 👍💨💨

That is a very unique cab on that 5010 . O there is other John Deere barn finds there too .

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats JT, on finding another Tractor/John Deer 5010. She runs and drive good. She will shine-up pretty good.

[@TT-qo9dv]

What a cool old tractor. Thanks for the video 👍

[@alspeers6931]

The JD tractors were as tough as they come(the poppers were bullet proof)but the 5010,5020,6030 were also ridiculously over built also,so that cab was a big feature on those western units I personally would keep that unique western cab just saying bro, cheers

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right! I am planning on leaving it. I am a Deere fan of the 10-20 series. Not that the 30 and 40 series weren’t great tractors, they just lack the “heft” of the older series

[@America-First2024]

Awesome find!

[@donaldhunt1391]

Those were great tractors. Dad had 67 5020. Be sure to keep tabs on the oil to see if there is water in it. That has a wet sleeve engine and sometimes after setting a while the o-ring on the bottom of one of the sleeves will leak water into the oil. Dad's did it just setting over the winter. And timing is critical with that engine, learn how to check the timing and set it exact and it will make a difference on how it pulls. Yes, you have a 24 volt system, actually you have two twelve volt systems, one negitave ground and one positive that come together in the starter to make 24 volts. You have 12 volt lights and half run off of one set of batteries and the other half run off the other set of batteries, and the charge in both sets of batteries needs to be kept equal or the alternator won't charge. We converted Dad's to 12 volt negitave ground with getting a 12 volt starter and alternator. Like I said, they are great old tractors.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Good tips! This one is going to become 12v before the next video!

[@williammatzek4660]

I'm 69yrs old , started helping dad on the farm in 1966 on a new 4020 John Deere. In 1980 dad traded for a 1970 5020. A few yrs later I bought my 5020. The front axle is the weakest place to pull on. The frame is the strongest place to pull on. If you spent as time on a 5020 as I have , you would be glad to have that ugly cab! A 5020 weights about 9 1/2 to 10 ton. I now have a 4010 and 4020 they do every thing I need to do.

[@rodneybalog4605]

One of the nicest looking 5010 I seen for a long time that's a gem I think you got a good tractor all around

[@AnglesideFarm]

When we farmed on the Garden Peninsula I had a 5020, the 5010 is a great tractor!

[@derekmcneil6448]

Great find. I love the old John Deere's. I grew up farm with a 4320 and 4020

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video JT :) also yes amazing old tractor lives on and would bath up also leave cab on too ! Fix up and plus use to !

Don't see many of those older egging cabs now days.

[@Goliath56]

Doesn't get much easier than that! Awesome find!

[@corydriver7634]

I can’t wait to see this one cleaned up. I’d have puckered up just a bit driving it up onto the trailer 😬. With that cab this unit might make a good snow plow. Your sister in law helping start it at the end had me laughing -she’s a gamer for sure.👍🏻

Nice JD series. I grew up on a JD 5020 row crop tractor in mid Michigan. Big tractors during those times.

[@ProtonD1200]

From Denmark, I think your site is good, you come up with many things that I think are good. And then I love Massey ferguson, especially 1150/1155., but your 1805 is very cool. When I started farming as a 14-year-old in 1972, I had a BRAND NEW Massey Ferguson 165 to drive. I was very proud. Keep up your good work. Thumbs up from Denmark.

Egging Cab made in Gurley, NE. Fairly common in Western KS and Western NE. Have one on an 806 wheatland. Actually had a 5010 with an egging and factory sunshades a couple years back. Had 23.1-30 rear rubber and an M&W turbo.

[@raymondurban3388]

That is so awesome, congratulations

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks so much!!

[@bobzoanni546]

Might be 24volt setup? Put a lot of hours on my dad's, an early model, had a lot of engine problems. Some of the neighbors later made them into 5020 engines. Worked a lot better. Good luck!

I know the only thing that saved this tractor was the fact it was parked indoors for all those years. Haa far has the deeeres the 20;30 ,40 and 50 series was some of there best tractors. What a gem can't wait to see it all completely revived and looking fresh again. I think it's great JT you reviving this old iron and giving it a new life again.

Some John Deere 5010 tractors have been restored by collectors, preserving and showcasing these vintage machines at tractor shows and events. If you own or are interested in a specific John Deere 5010 tractor, keep in mind that individual tractors can vary based on factors such as maintenance, modifications, and any restoration work that may have been done over the years. The John Deere 5010 was manufactured in the 1960s. It was part of the New Generation series of tractors introduced by John Deere during that era

[@andyhutch8262]

A local bloke bought one almost the same, but with air con unit on the cab roof, like you, he didnt like the cab, so off it came, he let me work it for 3 hours, but I am a Massey man, i wasnt fond tbh. He had had it on a HP tester, 120hp at the PTO. He still uses it on land work on the family farm, it will be about 30 years since he imported it from the states to the UK.

[@Farmer1277]

I've never seen that cab before. It should stay. Also you should invest in the Milwaukee Tire inflator and not the little one, get the bigger one. I pumped up a combine front tire with it but it took a couple of batteries lol.

[@matthewheinze1231]

That is an awesome find!!!! I am team keep the cab, and let it been in factory work clothes. Unless it is some rare one off it doesn't add much value to repaint and remove the cab. If you do that it looks like every other restored 5010. Just my opinion.

[@Derek_00Mustang83]

Always wanted a 5010 painted industrial yellow

[@marvincook4543]

Ps Neat ! You had a Big Break as it started Easily Amazing ! marv'

[@jacobbuckley8232]

So glad u bought it. Would have been a shame to pull it back in the barn to finish rotting away.

I have one like you have that type of a cab and one with a 4440 cab on it I brought them tractors in 1980 still have them

Man that started like it was parked yesterday looking forward to seeing what you do with it

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

It’ll be as good as the others around here 😉

[@fredericducroquet6301]

This looks like an early 5010, with still the original 5010 head. Most off the 5010s were repowered. Also, for the year 1964, the 5010 got the 4020 dash,so the ones with the 4010 dash are very rare.

[@stephengunrunnerhanson3550]

Great tractor great video but in the winter it's a good it better then some of the cabs I had to work with

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

That’s a good point. That cab is better than nothing in bad weather

[@johnwesner3935]

Based on the age of the tractor that could be a Stolper Steel cab from Menomonee Falls Wisconsin. Made quite a few after market cabs

[@warrenhorst4596]

Nope. Egging cab. Egging Company, Gurley, Nebraska. 69141. Dad had a 4020 with Egging cab, as did many farmers in this part of the country.

[@SchnelleKat]

Awesome find buddy! Keep the cab IMO. Really don't see those at all. Would be a great snow plow tractor with a Allied Front Dozer Blade on it. If you remove the cab IMO it'd ruin it for me. Don't even paint it

[@kevintack7299]

I would leave the cab honestly, I think it gives at some cool factor

Im in Southeastern Ohio and i love your videos, its good entertainment and very educational. Clearly you are a Massey Ferguson guy but appreciate them all, my family uses alot of Massey's on the farm from an 1130 to i think 4 1085's and 3 165's and just got a narrow front 4020 but my favorite is the the 1130 rite behind an 8700 ford we had when i was a kid. If you get a chance to revive a TW series or 8700 or 9700 ford with dual power and preferably open station please jump on it, i would love to see what you could do with a tractor like that.

That ridiculous looking cab will feel great in December and January. In fact when pressure washed it won't look so ridiculous. 5010 is one of my favorite tractors. When pressure washed it is possible the batteries will somewhat return but I doubt it. This engine sounds wonderful. The pulling power of the 5010 is very great. Whatever that guage in the middle of the dash is reporting, after you drove it to your friend's it was up in the green and when it left it's grave it was sitting down on the peg not reading anything.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Must have been the temp, that and the oil pressure were the only two things that worked in there lol
