JDcrawlers Messageboard

Hi all, its been awhile since i've posted. Juyst getting around to fixing the hydraulix on my 1010 scarifier. Been waiting for the weather to warm up a bit. Anyways I've been trying to document some of my ,repairs in case somebody can benefit from it. Now granted I'm not even close to Lavoy, :oops: ...

I have a 1963 1010c industrial with loader.

yes the hood on top of the engine. i take off the muffler, and the air cleaner. After that, the steel support from the loader prevents me from pulling off the cowling. It doesn't just slide out. What am i doing wrong?

I'm just fulla questions. Thanks for your patience. Does anybody have a clever way of getting the darn engine cowling off without pulling the loader off or removing the front nose-piece? Maked it kinda hard to work on the motor.

After reading some more posts on the steering thing, I realized that if i pull the left, and nothing happens or its weak, its really the right clutch slipping. In addition, if i use the left brake, to slow or stop the left track, i still don't get alot of turn - which if i understand it right, means...

I've been reading thru alot of the 1010 steering posts on this board, and have noticed something: seems like its the darn LEFT side that is usually either stickin, or slippin or just plain froze. Mine's sick on the left side too. I realize this is not scientific, but is there any history to that or ...

Thanks. I did have a guy take apart the whole control for a different problem with the bucket, and he didn't mention anything about the rear control. It leaked before he took it apart too by the way. What kind of parts issues am i going to face? should my JD guy be able to get em? seems like a prett...

yeah the ripper definitely rips good when i actually use it. very powerful. it can stop the machine dead with the right soil. it doesn't give at all. but i'll try the lift test and let you know. thanks all!

1010 with Scarifier The ripper will not stay up after raising it. There are no visible hydraulic leaks in the hoses or fittings, at least not big enough to warrant the rate at which the ripper drops. It only takes about 20 seconds to drop completely to the ground. Pretty annoying when you aren't try...

Thanks Keith, I'll take some close up photos, and post under a new thread. - Paul

I haven't seen very many scarifiers. Mine has a slow leak in one or both hydraulic cylinders. I think the seals are shot. You can see i'm holding it up with a strap. Right now I'm in the process of replacing all the hoses on it. I'm the most worried about the rollers, and the tracks themselves - all...

Thanks for the grins. :lol: Here are some pics. http://users.upwardaccess.com/trachte/gallery/dsc00347.jpg http://users.upwardaccess.com/trachte/gallery/dsc00350.jpg http://users.upwardaccess.com/trachte/gallery/dsc00351.jpg http://users.upwardaccess.com/trachte/gallery/dsc00344.jpg http://users.upw...

Hello All, This summer I became the owner of a JD1010 industrial diesel crawler loader with ripper. Other than spending 2hrs fixing for every 8hrs work, it has done the job grading and building my 1200ft driveway. I'm a NOOB on crawlers. I can turn a wrench, but I am no pro. I'm looking forward to t...
