From lighting and electrics to trailer couplings, the John Deere 6810 page offers more than 650 parts for the 6010 and 6010SE series, grouped for quick search.
A John Deere 6810 that has clocked up the hours tends to need attention in four places: the front axle, the cab, the electrics and the engine. More than 650 parts for this model are listed on this page, made by GRANIT, HELLA, MAHLE, ROCKINGER and Wabco.
Engine maintenance calls for O-rings, for example on the oil pump, gaskets such as the thermostat housing gasket, and thermostats. Fit a new gasket with every thermostat, and bleed the cooling system thoroughly afterwards. An air pocket trapped at the thermostat will keep the temperature climbing even though the new part is fine.
The ZF front axle on the 6810 uses packs of internal and external plates. If the axle clicks on turns or judders when you steer in, worn plates are a common cause. Note the thickness and number of the old plates before ordering, and refill with exactly the oil specified for the axle. The wrong oil will bring the noise straight back.
Drawbar frames fit the rear, and there are forced steering parts for trailers with a steered axle. When running a steered trailer, check the ball and rods for play regularly. Even a little slack lets the trailer run off line in bends and scrubs the tyres.
For the cab there are hinges, bushes for the mudguards and gas struts for the door. A door that will not stay open usually just needs a new strut. Mount it with the rod pointing down so the seal inside stays lubricated and the strut lasts longer. If the door rattles in its catch, look at the hinges as well, because worn hinge pins cause play that no amount of adjustment will cure. Work lamps and headlights handle the lighting, while alternators, sensors such as the engine oil pressure sensor, and gear reduction starters keep the electrics reliable.
Check the serial plate to confirm it reads 6810. Models in the same range, such as the John Deere 6010, 6110, 6210, 6410 and 6510, look similar, but that tells you nothing about the parts. Take the reference number from the old part instead. For plates it is often only on the packaging, while sensors carry it on the hex. Without a number, measure the part and compare it with the product photo.
Other models from the brand, including the rest of this range, can be found under John Deere parts.
