what are the elders running in the 1010's?

some guys have all the luck.

nice place you have up there.
northern mn myself.

havn't been the same though since i went to your 1998 winnepeg folk festival.

thats the best idea for a reality tv show i"ve ever heard. but you could incorporate some other themes from other shows as well. "all i have is this old worn out 1010 crawler loader." "no r.o.p.s. or cigarette ligther option" "without a BIG winch sticking out on the back the girls won't even talk to...

things are out of hand here in mn too. don't fool yourself, the the car companys and machinery companys love it. they've been wanting this old stuff gone for a long time now. they want you too buy new, as the the old stuff was built to last too long and to easy to work on. i like to tinker and rebui...

thanks for the help

i agree with not throwing the reverser lever around at high rpms.
i don't open the throttle more than 3/4 and even then i'll back it down or push the clutch in before i change direction

maybe someday i'll know enough to help someone out here instead of just asking for more. i keep reading about the snap in the reverser lever. looked in the manual and can't find anything. will look again though, mine moves smooth. no clicks, hang-ups, or snap. moved more snow with it again today. ne...

got my wisdom teeth and one other tooth cut out. so been inside for a few days...... levers work good with or without brake depressed book said to loosen lock nuts on linkage. set steering lever free travel. adust steering rod to touch clutch fingers. tighten lock nuts. then tighten brake band screw...

here we go again. when i was just about done pushing snow last week to get to my sap pails, the right side began to get sluggish. both sides were working great hardly any effort on lever and track would lock up and crawler came around like it was supposed to. now i'm bottoming out the lever on the r...

draft horses :D that's the one of the few subjects i feel like i know something about. ran several teams for about 10 years. gave wagon and sleigh rides. cut and raked hay with them. springtooth, harrows, drags. bundle hauling to the thresher. my favorite was logging in the winter. got sick 2 yrs ag...

well got it fixed :D had to take alot more stuff off than i thought to finally get to the thermostat. then the first thing i did was twist the bolt off flush. had to take more apart so i could get the drill in right to drill straight. borrowed a easy-out and proceeded to twist that off. :shock: cuss...

misery loves company. am surprised that there is people that close by on this site. anyone brave enough to try the lakes after all the snow? gonna see if i can find my maple sap buckets this afternoon. looks like they might break loose today. have them at the in-laws....... he said you could just se...
