John Deere 4010 PTO issues

[@danw6014]

Good hear from you. I remember having trouble with one of the 4010s on a small dairy I worked on after high-school. Must be that was the issue. We never ran the 1000 rpm shaft. They both spent a lot of time mowing and baling hay, picking corn, and running the green chopper which was probably the hardest on them.

Thanks for the great explanation of the 540/1000 gear interaction. I've always heard they were finicky and was always curious of what was happening mechanically. We'll actually be tearing my friend's 4010 apart this winter because his shaft won't work. This video gave me a good intro before i get into it. Thanks again.

On my sons 3010 it broke that pin a couple times. He finally just took the 1000 rpm gear out and put a spacer in there to always hold it in 540. We never need the 1000 especially on a 3010.

i did the something about 2 months ago on a customer 4010 gas and he said his son was mowing when his broke, he said he heard a loud bang and then the pto stop. I split it and i found the one pin broken. I just split be hide the clutch and put new pins in, after i found the one was broken, new gasket's, replace the o-ring at the back where the long pto rod goes though up to the front pto and he wanted the new pto brake replace so sense i was there and i replace it.

I've got 4010 you want to be really careful when switching shafts back and forth from 540 to 1000 or you can shear that pin also it all got up graded when they designed 20 series

3rd and 5th? What are you guessing? Linkage? Question: We used to use a mid mount sickle bar on our 2510. Is that middle PTO 1000 rpm?

@@BobScott-o5n it’s not happened to me so I’m not sure. It’s both on this tractor. I’m not sure on a 2510 but I’m guessing it’s also a common shaft just shifts differently
