A backhoe is a fine tool for tree removal. In the past I have dug on three sides as Dan suggests, put the edge of the loader bucket on the ground (to prevent sliding back), and pushed trees over with the hoe about 12 feet high on the trunk. You have a lot of leverage with the hoe just before the boo...

I recently got my 1010 crawler/loader going after much toil and anticipation of it's power. I have also recently had 5 acres of 25 year growth mixed timber cut with a dozen or so whopper hardwoods, and a few large pines. Now I need to clear the stumps and grade the rest of my runway. I am realizing ...

My standard fix for minor chafe damage on steel lines is silver solder. Most any HVAC mech will have some.

Thanks Dan. Keeping the bucket low is good advice. I stood my skid steer on it's nose once, and learned that lesson. Had my seat belt on, and was hanging from it. Had to think quick (problem!) and use the bucket to upright myself. To remove a stump, I plan to dig out one side and try to push the stu...

Anyone know the part number for the 1010 loader hyd filter?

This filter installs in the top of the hyd tank.

Thanks in advance,

Anyone have any tips on driving crawlers and their capabilities?

I have a 1010 crawler/loader with 4 in 1.
I hope to be able to do some light clearing, hole digging, stump removing, and grading....maybe I'm too optimistic.

Thanks for the info. I can see the need for the adjustment these pins provide.

Got my hydraulics working today after fixing a few leaks, and my bucket is crooked! I will be adjusting tomorrow.

I am reattaching my 1010 loader arms, and the shoulder pins, where the large arms attach/pivot have eccentric bosses where the arms pivot. Does anyone know the proper position of these eccentrics? There are two options, up and fwd, and down and back. I installed mine up and fwd figuring that was the...

My 1010 diesel exhibits similiar symptoms. Hard to start, smokes a while, and then clears up. I have to use the primer. I have checked the injectors, and they don't spray very well. I suspect they are part of the problem, also suspect low compression ( It runs, I'm afraid to check the compression!)....

Thanks for the help and the welcome. I will loosen the tracks per your instructions.

I visited JD website and ordered the 1010 crawler operators manual. No service manual is offered. Does the op manual include this type of info?

How tight should the tracks be tensioned on a 1010? I have been working off and on over the last 12 yrs. on a 1010 crawler loader project and finally drove it around the yard last saturday! YEAH!! Up and over the sand pile. I felt like a WWII tank driver. When I tensioned my tracks, I pumped the ten...
