Best manual is straight from Deere.
Better than an IT manual.

Duke

Yep.
7000 lbs.

If it is a crawler to weighs about 7k.

Where are you located?
I need some 1010 parts.

Duke

All we need is the serial#.
No picture required.

MC is on the dash by the ignition switch.
40 is on the Flywheel housing left side.

Duke

Drain the radiator down and clean the area around the hole. Silver solder works very well. Be sure to use flux. Do not over heat!! There are low temperature solders available with a flux that changes color when at the right temp. I have a heat crack repair that has held for several years with solder...

Time to drop the pan and see what is going on.

Duke

Leave it upside down.
Fill it with diesel fuel, fuel oil, or paint thinner.
Add a grease zerk to the drain plug opening....
Pump grease in till you have fuel coming from the ends of the rockshaft.
Turn it by hand.
Maybe....

Duke

Salvage yard may have one....

A buisness close to me is called Grease Monkey.
They are very reasonable with these type of repairs.

Duke

If it were mine I would just use unleaded.
I have been running old iron for years with unleaded and yet to find any issues with my tractors.

Duke

Yes the hoses are available.
You may have to go to a industrial supplier and not an ag dealer.

Duke

You may want to check your ignition switch also when checking power to your coil....

Duke

Check to see if you have good + and - at the coil. A test light will work.
If they are good lightly file the points......a new 100 dollar bill works well or a points file.
If no gain, replace the coil.
Make sure you get rye right one.....
6 volt if set up as original.

Duke

I am looking for an actuator for my gearmatic 8 a winchdrum.
Let me know what you have.

Thanks,
Duke

The winch is an 8A.

I will get a picture of it soon.

Thanks,
Duke
