Re: 1010 Crawler Top Idler/Roller

Hmm, I've often wondered why my upper idler on the four roller was welded on. Now I know. Without an engine it doesn't matter.

Main Bearing

Any parts hoarders on here have a set of standard main bearings for '61 1010 gas? I am in need of the rod bearings also. :lol:

1010 water pump

Will a water pump for a 2010 gas fit my 1010 gas? They look identical. Water pumps suck!

Re: 1010 for sale

Hey Ralph, in my opinion, buying these treasures from the past is like a trip to a casino in Las Vegas.

Re: 450C rollers

Struck out at Wengers JIM B.
I picked up four that are in much better shape than ours off Ebay. At least I got to check them out before I bought them. I have plenty of boat anchors already!

Re: 450C rollers

jsal, Thanks but no thanks. I've found a couple used ones near by that I'm checking on today.

JIM B, no I haven't. I have heard of them but they never entered my mind. I'll check them out today.

Re: Making Tall Grass Short

Cutting Edge...I share most of what said about flail mowing. "Been there and done that". It has it's moments of shear pleasure and it's moments of shear hell.

Re: New Toy 1010

I had to give six big ones for this machine. I hope it's worth it in the long run. I have been looking for something decent for quite a while and didn't feel like throwing my money away on the ones I was seeing. They wanted to sell me beachfront property here in the hills of Pennsylvania!
