Did you try Wengers in PA or Tractor Ser & Sup in OH? I looked at adding a 2nd remote and they had all the parts, they are the same as the 1010 wheeled tractors. If you are talking about the side levers, I also know of a place in Pavo, Ga, I think called T&H tractor supply, guys name in Johnothan. T...

That is neat - Deere in Europe has marketed such tractors there for quite some time.

Dynometer Question

I have a diesel motor, Perkins 1006 to be exact on a pump unit. It is in need of rebuild I'm sure, but was wondering if anyone has ever hooked up a motor in need of rebuild to a dyno to see just how much less the hp output is? just currious cause I don't have a dyno. Output new is 104hp at 1800 rpm,...

Mine also is a 69. That one was my first real restoration. I grew up on a 500 acre fresh green bean farm in North Florida with 4 pivots and we used a 65 4020 to pull a 8 row planter. I always remembered that as being my favorate tractor, even behind the much bigger cab 145 Versatile. I was just born...

My Birthday Present

My birthday isn't until March, but my wife just couldn't wait to tell me so here it is. A trip by myself to Moline (JD heaven). I am blessed to have such a great wife who lets me build massive barns and fill them with New Generation JD's. On a side note, one of my daughters was looking at new parts ...

Just my humble opinion - You Guys are Crazy!!!

I always look in the chamber to see if a gun is loaded, Not down the barrel.

I would think it would be hard to drive a crawler in a survival suit.

Seriously, you all have more guts than me.

I realy don't want to open up a can of worms, but since the tracks will be off and everything on top will be off, might as well have the piece of mind and tear into the steering clutches also. I will let you know how they look inside as I will be busy with the motor first.

Thanks

1010 restoration steering clutch Question?

I have started tearing my 1010 apart for restoration, working on pulling the motor now, which needs a full rebuild. My question is, after hearing so many problems about steering clutches, of which both of mine seem to work fine, should I tear into them for any reason other than to adjust them from t...

I have lived in Florida my whole life and have only seen it snow here 3 times, the only time it stuck to the ground was back in 77 and we made snowballs. What you guys are doing looks like lots of fun, wish I could do that.

Thanks Lavoy - that's what it was. Funny how reverse worked well but not forward. It was the filter and low fluid.

1010 Reverser Problem

I had my 1010 resting in the shop about to start a complete rebuild this winter when my 544 loader broke a hose today and had to use the dozer to tend burn piles in the grove. All went well until on the way back in, all forward gears except 1st seemed to lack power. Then even 1st lacked power and wo...

You can always take some of the bend out of the cheaper part. When ever I re-plumb a sprayer, I have a crock pot I plug in with a 66/34 antifreeze/water mix and heat up to 200 or more. Just dip the hose end in and it is lubricated and soft and makes the stiffest hose go on the barb easy. Works reall...
