I hope you have the maintenance manual. I just went thru replacing steering clutches and found that the hardest part was putting new cotter pins in the linkages for the throwout bearing. You have to be a contortionist just to GET into this area, let alone trying to hit a hole you can't see.

I just revisited their website and it is part number 05-01047 for $18.95
the link is: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ap/ ... imers.html

I got the one for $18.95 plus shipping which brought it to under 30 bucks. Not a bad deal. The unit is made in the USA (stamped on it) and chrome plated (body) with a black plastic button on the end where you push/pull, and it's even labeled "PRIMER" in white. It's not leaking past it either after t...

BINGO! That primer from Spruce works like a charm. It even came with fittings to tap into the fuel line (mine is already been replaced with the rubber fuel hose). Connected it up, pumped it a few times till I saw the fuel going into the bottom of the intake manifold and felt some resistance and then...

Thanks Lavoy... it looks like I will have to rip off the intake manifold to verify that all that stuff is in there. I looked at the setup in the parts manual, but don't remember if all that was shown. I will have to verify it when I get home.

Got my pump yesterday. Fast shipping at least. It is not plastic. It is a metal body, and aparently has check valves in it because I can't blow back thru the outlet port. The only thing plastic about it is the plunger knob. Stand by, I will let you know how it goes with installation. I am still wait...

My intake manifold has a tapped hole in it located on the bottom about 1/3 of the way back from the front and the fitting it has on there now has just been hammered closed. Can I just screw in a fitting and attach the tubing from the primer pump? I see you have mentioned using a jet? Will that be ne...

Hey gang. I don't mind doing the testing. One thing that does concern me tho, I contacted Aircraft Spruce and gave them some details on what I wanted to do and asked what products they had in stock that they would recommend for my application. All they did was send me the page from the catalog (stuf...

I went ahead and ordered that primer kit from Aircraft Spruce Co. The price is certainly right, but it looks like it's made of plastic. I will give it a try and report back to the board if it works or not. It makes you wonder if that $18.95 price compared to the $166 or the $88 they want for the met...

Thanks to all. I found the primer information in the parts catalog. At least I can now see how it goes together. I assume since Deere implemented these things (or were an option at best) to aid in cold weather starting, does anyone have any feedback on if it really does help? My batteries are always...

I just searched JDParts and can't seem to find the illustrations which show this system. Would you have a link to that so I can see how this all goes together? Would it be in either the parts manual or service manual for the 2010?

Lavoy (and all), I remember here awhile back where someone gave us the poop on a company that made an injector setup which would aid in getting these deisel engines started. It was "Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co." I see where they have a few different devices available, but from their product descr...

OK, I froze the pins for 3 days. I heated up the link to just where spit would sizzle on it and tried to beat these pins in ... and there ain't no way they are going in without a press. After everything cooled off I took some measurements and the pins measure 1.187 OD and the hole it has to go in at...

I guess I am on the right track (no pun intended) when I machined up a temporary pin that is .020 undersize and installed it just to run the rails around to check if these 1-3/4" bushings were going to climb on my old used 1-9/16" sprockets. I am hoping that will hold it in place while I am insertin...

got it now Steve. Thanks. As I understand it, you start by inserting the bellville washers back to back into each of the inboard counterbores of the outside (two) links and then the large flat washer. Now place the one part of the master link (center section) into this spring sandwich. Once that is ...
