Let us start at the beginning, I bought a good deal on a Blown up motor on a 1010 diesel for 2500, 2 g. Here 3 g there and after a few years. I find myself behind $10,000. I kept it for 15 years fixed everything and after it all was said and done my brother ask if I wanted to sell it. Well I gave it...

I have owned this unit for 12 years, rebuilt the engine less than 100 hours ago rebuilt left steering last spring . ran last fall but no power to starter now... tired of messing with it. $5000. Gas City , IN 765 251 1432

I have had this dozer for 12 plus years, rebuilt the engine, left steering clutch. hydraulic clyinders... I parked it last fall and now it will not start. no power to the starter... will not turn over. Just like every one on this sight I also have more money in this machine than I want to admit to!!...

Would I have to drop the belly pan to access the battery cables on the starter or what???? thank you

Thanks for the heads up, I'll try them all Randy

Hello, I just rebuilt the generator and then installed a new regulator on my 1010 diesel w/ 6 way blade. It ran well a week ago and yesterday I went to start the old girl and it had absolutely nothing.... no click, no anything. The battery is charged but it is a no go. Have any of you guys any sugge...

I was wondering if anyone knows the possible causes for sparks flying when I reconnected the battery. I just had the generator rebuilt. the voltage regulator looks as it is original to the 1010 diesel I have. If anyone has an idea I would apppricate knowing. Thank you Randy

after my battery over heated and the 1010 diesel wouldn't start, I took the battery out and charged it. WHEN i tried to hook it back up the sparks flew like crazy , I'm wondering if I melted the regulator or generator or if I fried the battery. from what I'bve read here the regulator is located unde...

well let's see what we have now....a battery that when you try to hook it up, positive ground the sparks fly and it starts to melt the post, now if we try and hook it up to negitive ground it does the same thing. I charged the battery to full charge before trying to do this, is the generator and the...

would I be better off putting a alternater on the 1010 , will that change the positive ground to negitive, what else would/ could be effected by a change over? what's the price of scrap iron now?

I HAVE A 1010 DOZER DIESEL AND AFTER DOING A STEERING JOB ON THE LEFT SIDE, TODAY LOOKED LIKE A GOOD DAY TO TRY YHR OLD GIRL OUT. SHE HAD BEEN SETTING SINCE LAST FALL. EVEN WITH THE POSITIVE TO POSITIVE IN STEAD OD POSITIVE GROUN SHE FIRED RIGHT UP. I WORKED HER FOR 3 HOURS AND THE SHUT HER OFF. THE...

You should stop right now if you are going to worry about money, This is what is going to happen. One thing will lead to another, then another and it may stop or it may not. If you just if you want a toy to mess around with that by most of the guys will atest to, you will spend thousands on your doz...

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT , I JUST FINISHED ADJUSTING THE RIGHT SIDE SO NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FIRE IT UP AND TAKE HER FOR A SPIN. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMMING BUT SHE'S DONE!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading and writting and trying everything I can say that with the help from all the guys the old girl is ready for a test run after I come back from vacation... I need it after this ordeal! But I am here to tell all the first timers if I can do a steering rebuild , you can too!!!!!! Just take...

I ended up welding a thicker nut to it and it gave me the adjustment I needed. All that's left is to insert the battery it's charged and ready. The only problem I've run into is I have missed placed the the drawbar pin on the front end. I'm sure it'll show up later
