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!

What is this part called? Where can I find one? Will I go bankrupt paying for it? This is not mine. Mine had been repaired but whoever welded it didn't do very good job. I repaired mine but it is not up to snuff. The wedges don't hold the blade. It will have to be done over. http://jdcrawlers.lcent....

I do love it! Too bad I can't find the time to run it. Spent a few hours last week putting in a small road around my food plot. Was really enjoying myself when the blade fell right off! Hickory tree root won. It failed due to a bad repair job by previous owner(s). Had to drag it out a half mile and ...

Thanks Lavoy!

I just got a 1010 dozer with an inside blade. It is manually adjustable. I want to angle the blade and looking for the routine for doing so. I am old and tired of learning the hard way. Any help out there?

Thanks again Jim B! We got it together. New clutch disc. Lavoy says this button clutch is best for loaders. http://jdcrawlers.lcent.com:8000/johndeere/albums/userpics/10005/0309191550.jpg Here is new throw out bearing. Notice notch, I believe it allows grease to enter bearing. http://jdcrawlers.lcen...

Thanks, we are golden!

Anyone tell me quick torque of flywheel bolts? In the field with no book. 440 icd.

Quit digging Lavoy! They are not cracks! They had me fooled.

Hydrogeo, I think it would make a great boat anchor.
Anyone have a flywheel for a 440 icd lying around?

I plan on using it around the property. Roads, rocks, and trees that I don't need. Give it a whole lot of TLC.

Thanks for the replies....I am going with it. It's been machined and I am waiting on parts from the partsman. I agree with gregjo, manufacturing flaw.

Gasoline or diesel engine? There is a difference.

Finally found one that I felt like I wasn't getting burned. Oh the junk I have spent my money on! Nice little dozer with gas engine. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but that's ok with me. :D http://jdcrawlers.lcent.com:8000/johndeere/albums/userpics/10005/P1220365.JPG http://jdcrawlers.lcent...
