Andrew, thank you very much for your response. I have been talking with a couple of guys on another blog and seem to be making some progress. I am not rulling out I don't have control issues. Right now what's going on is with the engine running and you try to place the handle in the full release pos...

Gentlemen, I have a John Deere 1010c with a gearmatic 8a winch on it. I've rebuilt the winch but am having quite a the time getting it adjusted. I have some questions for y'all.

I thought it was completely assemb...

Thank you for your insight

I have a 1010 that will not steer unless you pull the levers all the way back. I'm assuming it's using the brake to steer. I have adjusted it several times exactly how the book says and have tweaked the adjustments just to see if it made any difference but it doesn't. Another thing to point out is t...
