1010c diesel engine in 2010 tractor?

Post by stretch44875 » Sat Jan 24, 2026 11:51 am

Cousin with a 2010 diesel threw a rod through block. I've got a 1010c diesel, in pieces, at one time was going to fix it.

Can he use entire engine, or parts, to repair his? I'm seeing 2010 might be same block? From what I've read, they are different displacement and HP.

Also, how do I find out the year for the 1010c? No serial number plate on motor, and don't see one on transmission.
440 gas loader, #440808, locked up, bad final
1010 diesel dozer, #36769, fixing.

Other old junk
1966 175 massey, loader
1952 Reo M108 crane truck(m35 wrecker)
1946 CJ2A jeeps

Without the plate on the engine I don't think you can figure out an exact year.

Below are links to the 1010C and 2010C parts books online. You can make a list and compare parts between the two. I took a quick look at a couple things.

The 1010C diesel is a 145 cu.in. (2.4L). The 2010 diesel is a 165 cu.in. (2.7L). The gas one is a 145 cu.in. (2.4L). so the 2010C had a larger displacement engine. I did not search every block, but it didn't see any matches, in a quick look.

The rear plate that goes between the back of the engine and the clutch housing appears to be the same part number so the engine should bolt to the clutch housing.

I can't say how the 1010 flywheel will match to the 2010 transmission arrangement. You will have to search part numbers and radiator connections.

Below are links to the two online parts catalogs, if you don't have them, so you can search and compare part numbers.

2010C parts catalog PC728

Good luck, someone might be along that has done this actual swap or put a 2010 engine in a 1010C
