2010 diesel to gas
You mentioned in your post how your machine is much better for the conversion just wanted to hear additional comments in this reguard.

2010 diesel to gas
I have been researching to do a 1010 diesel to gas converstion as well but my plan was to use a 2010 gas motor for the 1010. Lavoy said possible hp issues, but more my concern is the flywheel matching the reverser in my loader crawler, the 2010 gas engine coming from a green rubber tire machine. All...

1010 bad diesel motor
does anyone know a potential parts junkyard where I could find a replacement diesel motor? And or have a spare to take the time to rebuild and then at some point just swap the old one out? I am about 1 hour and 15 minutes north of Philadelphia so parts closer to this local would be helpful, but I kn...

1010 diesel bad motor
Another thought do you think a better possibility would be to find a gas 1010 or 2010 crawler motor so the reverser flywheel match won't be an issue or are these type engines like finding hens teeth?

1010 bad diesel motor
The glow plugs are brand new and work well just so frustrating to have to use them every time I go to turn the engine on and off! And the addition of 9 to 10 horsepower of the gas motor doesn't seem like it could be detrimental unless your running the machine balls to the wall, which I am not just a...

1010 dozer bad diesel motor
The diesel motor starts hard, always have to use glow plugs hot or cold and burns one quart of oil per hour when working the machine. I saw a green 2010 gas tractor and thought the easiest approach would be to purchase the tractor and switch the motor. The asking price was 1900, but hoped I could ge...

1010 dozer with bad diesel motor
is switching the 1010 diesel motor to a 2010 gas motor possible and is this better than considering rebuilding the 1010 diesel or trying to find a diesel replacement?
