I have a 550 that needs transmission work I am looking for a mechanic looking for side work to help. I wanna try to fix this through the top and Im hoping to find someone who has done this before The dozer is in a garage a nice place to work on the MA NH Border.

well I'm giving up on this, I'm gonna just try with 5 seconds on the plugs before I start. had the plugs out and hooked them up so I could watch and they get red at 5 seconds and very red at 10 seconds. I think there should be less than 12 volts going to them but cannot figure out what in the old ha...

thanks for your reply, it must be the way i wired the glow plug harness. its all i did to start the problem. the wiring diagram just shows a single wire to feed all 4 plugs. i'm at a loss and just plan on heating the plugs for maybe 10-15 seconds and hoping for the best

seems like a problem that I have and still have, i posted last year and have not been able to find a solution. My 4th set of glow plugs came in today. I only have one battery in my machine my glow plugs worked fine for a number of years, I put a new harness on the glow plugs and they burn out after ...

Just one battery, just 12 volts, 10 glow plugs so far, all cylinders. All I did was cut off the wiring harness and make a new one. The plugs look like the end has blown up, its bulged out. I checked with a meter only 12 Volts, and power goes on and off with the switch properly

Still having trouble with my glow plugs, use them once, work great and then find them burnt out on the next start up. I think I may have found the problem.....the john deere parts catalogue lists a connector part number AL-2976 T and an adaptor part # AT 16768T. Does anybody know if these are anythi...

Couldn't get my 1010 started, tried everything and then bought all new glow plugs, started just once, started right up lots of black smoke when it started just like it always did before I replaced all the glow plugs. Now I have the same problemas before, turns over, never kicks, only white smoke. my...

well i took dukes advice and used more starting fluid, it chugged a couple times blew out alot of black smoke and then started. let it run a little shut it off and it started right up again. we'll see what happens today from a cold start

well i took dukes advice avice used a little. more starting flluid it chuged a couple times and spit out a lot of thick smoke then started riht up let it run a bit shut it off and it started fine. we'll see what happen tomorrow

OK Had the pump tested they said it was fine, they checked the shutoff lever and said it was fine, I have it all bleed out and cannot get it to turn over, put a small spray of starting fluid I thought it was gonna start but it was just the starting fluid. maybe my injectors are bad but all four at o...

i have fuel to the pump and at the injectors i think maybe just not enough pressure . sould there be a flow back to the tank ?

Thank you, It is diesel and I just removed the fuel return line it is clear but when I crank the engine no fuel comes out the return

I changed the fuel lines on my 1010, everything seemed to go well I started it and it ran for about 20 minutes, pulled it back in the garage. tried to start it about a week later it started but wasn't running smooth then stalled out. It hasn't started since. I think it might be a pump problem but fu...
