That is why I said occasionally, and that is also why I have a little Toyota forklift in the shop, tired of doing this stuff the hard way.
Try spllitting the nut with a cold chisel, then you can get the rod out and chase the threads. Be sure to anti-seize when you put it back together.

From Deere there are two different shades, one before 198?, and one after. The one for before seems to be right, but if you look at pictures of the old industrial tractors, they seem more "yellow" to me. I have heard of guys using "Cat" yellow on them.

Used to be that the new ones were about $70, so who cares. But now when they are approaching $175, you just as well rebuild the one you have for a little more. Plus, if you are doing a complete resto, you can have them reset the hours to zero.

Gary, I still will do a 420 by hand on occasion. If you are going to do it, get two long tapered punches. When you have the final slid out some, put one in the top hole on the final closest to you, and the other one in a bottom hole with the long part of the punch towards the inside. This will help ...

You most likely still hae some blockae in the carb, but I have had ones that don't seem to like to respond to idle adjustments either. Dwell is the same as point gap, just measured a different way. I run timing on mine quite above spec (except on the all-fuel, wouldn't do any good anyway). The last ...

The tractor tachs have different ground speeds on them, but otherwise would work. The is a company in Minneapolis/St Paul area that does gauges and tachs. I think their webiste is www.gaugeguys.com. I am going to send them a couple of tachs to look at in the next few weeks.

$170 here, don't know if you can get a better deal there, my dealer is a little pricey.

The glow plugs I have do not fit the older style, the threads are too small. If you have the older style, you will need to replace them with the same thing.

There are two different glow plugs for the 1010, the early style is quite a bit larger, and are about impossible to come by other than Deere. The later style pencil glow plugs used to be readily available, but the supply has kind of dried up, although Deere has them too. I think price ranges from $7...

Rob,
Carb kits are $20 with new throttle shaft, floats are almost as much or more than the kit, I would have to check to be sure.

Hey, it keeps you out of trouble, and the wife always knows where you are at.
Lavoy

It is a 1010, but someone has grafted a 2-53 into it. If the bellhousing bolt pattern is the same, it probably would not be that difficult to do. Kind of a neat deal.
Lavoy

Jim,
Yes, there is a gauge you need to do this, I just got another batch in, they are $10.
Lavoy

Vee it out, or cut the crack out completely and weld back together.
Lavoy

Yes they are.
