2021 ELCO FFA Tractor Restoration - 1963 John Deere 3010D

Although not a “nut and bolt” restoration, the tractor restoration team completed a much more intensive restoration than original planned. Every component and system of the tractor was inspected. Some original parts and systems that were in good shape remained in place. However, many components were either fixed or replaced. The restoration process included a complete engine overhaul, rebuilding of multiple systems including the hydraulic system, mechanical linkages, clutching system, and replacing various components of the fuel and electrical systems. The final steps of the restoration included new paint for the entire tractor and reassembly.
