The JOHN DEERe 1010 was a beautiful tractor and it had plenty of power, but at times it was hard to start, especially in wet weather.
The earlier 1010's had a round tubing front axle and the later 1010"s had a square front axle.
Many considered the earlier 1010's with the round front axles to be a lemon and one of the worst tractors that JD ever made.
The 1010 was the first JD to switch from the 2 cylinder pop pops and enough reasearch, development and testing was not done before they were manufactured and sold.
JD used old model transmissions and parts and a new style engine which resulted in some long range reliability problems, and starting the tractor was one of them.
One problem they had was that the condensor would burn up rather quickly which would burn the points, thus making it hard to start.
If you change the plugs, points and condensor regularly and often spray the cap and wires with a water proofer it should help.

A mower may start to steer hard from many things: -Flat/soft tires -Lack of grease on the front axle or front axle joints -Lack of grease on the rack/pinion gears -Lack of grease on the steering wheel bearing -Crack in the axle itself, allowing the corners of the axle to move I have had all of these happen to me and they are relatively quick to rule out.
