JDcrawlers Messageboard

I can't comment an wear since the tracks are off and not under tension to be able to do a pin to pin measurement. I can get pictures if you would like, but it's about 45 minutes away from where I currently live, so please tell me specifically what and how you want me to photograph the tracks so that...

I had dreams of rebuilding a 1010c many years ago, but priorities change and now i am selling the property where this project is housed. Before I scrap the parts (I hate to do it), but the crawler is completely disassembled and its the easier option. If anyone is interested in specific parts, let me...

Many years ago I purchased an early 1010 gas crawler as a hobby project. It had its engine replaced with a 2010 gas so I also purchased a diesel 2010 wheeled tractor to swap the engine.Fast forward 8 years and all I've done is bought parts and disassembled the machine. I have all of the original cra...

After actually looking at the scematics for a wheeled version and discussions in another board. Heres what I have found. The battery cable goes to the main lug. The wire from the voltage regulater also goes on the main lug- need to get power down the line some how. The last lead in the scematic is f...

I had the starter rebuilt for my 2010 and the solenoid was replaced. I am having problems connecting it. the terminal markings are different from the original. the large post in the solenoid I assume is the negative terminal from the battery - remember this is a positive ground system. the two small...

I felt a bit strange posting these here, but i have every intention of putting this backhoe on my 1010c. These two attachments are on a 2010 w. I thought the hoe was a jd 50 so i bought the manual from Deere, but the outriggers seem to be mounted in a different position than the picture on the manua...

Thanks for everyones comments. I'm probably going to go with the 1018 as I have a round I my shop. On the bright side if it doesn't work I should be able replace it and reassemble in half the time.... the second time around. lol

What would the group opinion be for using 4140 alloy round to manufacture a replacement front cross-bar replacement for a early 1010c. The original cross-bar seems to be annealed and not hardened and i would use the 4140 in its annealed state also.
Thanks for the opinions

Lavoy, I am looking to purchase a full set of 10 for my 1010 rebuild. the bolt size appears to be a 1/2"-20 thread 1 1/2" overall 1 1/4+- thread length. if you need further information let me know. i'd like to shop this to area code 39455.

I notice you front crossbar and frame are assembled. In picture 2 i can see your rear cross bar and and track frames are also assembled. Are you able to remove the rear bar? This may seem like a dumb question, but my front bar was damaged an i had to remove it, but my rear bar is firmly in place and...

Lavoy, Are there after-market rollers for the 1010 currently available. if so ,do you know the ball park price? I may still rebuild mine, but since Deere raised the seal prices I have a bad taste in my mouth, Do you offer an after market axle for the early 1010 bottom rollers? I am contemplating dif...

Well, if anyone can get them produced for under $20.00, put me down for 20 of them. I want to replace all of mine as i rebuild the rollers. 20 bucks or above, I will have to replace sparingly and only where necessary. As far as Deere is concerned. I refuse to pay $140.00 when they were $14.00. As bi...

If you are able to contact the back room guys let us know. This will teach me to procrastinate buying parts. At those prices , id be forced to buy the wife jewelry to ease my guilt for spending so much on a 50 year old dozer.

Anyone notice the new bellow seal price from deere? i thought they were about $14.00/each when i created the cart a few months ago. I'm Starting up again and see the current price is 147.00. Did i miss somthing?

Does any one know if this is hardened? I need to replace mine. My existing one has been welded numerous times. I tried the file test and got mixed results even far away from the welds. I plan to fabricate a new one and was curious as to weather a piece of cold or hot rolled round would be feasible. ...
