Do you even need a press to split the track? gregjo1948

I don't use starting fluid when starting my 1010 diesel. I hold the glow plugs on for at least 2 minutes, start cranking and hit the primer a couple shots. It spitts and sputters and blows smoke for a bit when it fires up but clears up as it warms up. The "Big Boys" told me using starting fluid on a...

I think, if the diesel to gas conversion is well done, I would put my money into rebuilding the gas engine and forget about the diesel. If the 2010 diesel starts as hard as the 1010, you might be disapointed. gregjo1948

I replaced a steering cluch pressure plate on my 1010cid a while back. Didn't work right when I got finished, so I had to go back in. I had pushed the brake band in, instead of it sliding over the drum. I know that's a rookie mistake! Because everything had just been apart, It went very well the sec...

I had a 24 volt 1010 a couple years ago. Didn't start very well on 12 volts! :? I bought it from son of father that passed away. I don't think he knew it was 24 volt. I winched it on my trailer to get it home and proceeded to try to fire it up on 12 volt battery. Ended up removing the starter, think...

Don't you just hate it when you loose a ball? gregjo1948

I thought the 40C could have 5 rollers. gregjo1948

2 40C dozers selling together on ebay. Check them out. Just type dozer into search. I think they're in central PA. gregjo1948

winzer85--No! I don't believe that all alternatos have an internal regulator. We can't tell you if yours does if we don't know who manufactured it. gregjo1948

I think that's a good call, Lavoy. gregjo1948

There's no track adjustment remaining.Undercarriage poor? Missing side cover for hydraulic control valves. (Not a big deal.) Doesn't appear to have a reverser. Manual tilt and angle on the blade. Sounds like a lot of work and money invested, but probably pins/bushings needed and possibly idlers and ...
