Hi, That is the one I use on the 3/152. Has the spring loaded stop pin. I kinda figured it was the same for the earlier 4 cylinder engines. I had to get a different, larger diameter one for the 3/179. They changed the hole in the bell housing between 1978 and 2008. And the new one does not have the ...

Hi, On turning the engine over by hand, I use the drive gear tool. Now, which one of those does your engine require? Deere has had several over the years. Anyway, one sticks it in the hole and uses a ratchet to crank it and a pin in the small hole to push into the hole in the flywheel for TDC. That ...

Hi,

Wait! What? It moves? It digs? Sumpin wrong here! These projects never turn out like this!

Party Time!

Whoot!

Hi,

Better yet, if you have or can borrow, a thermal imaging camera. See if there are any hot spots which indicate a coolant passage blockage.

Hi,

I have a 350C sitting next to a 420c. And the 420c and the 1010 are very similar. I can tell you a blade, inside or outside mount, from a 350 is not going onto a 420. And so I am 99 percent sure the same applies to the 1010.

Hi, I hardly ever use my crawlers. I sold the 350C to a friend last August. Haven't used the 420c since I got the 350C. I still haven't used the 420c since selling the 350C. I really ought to pass that one along as well. I fear that as soon as I do, I will really need it. Sigh. And I'm beginning to ...

Hi,

Yep. More paint prep. Boring to do, not to read about. But you had the best day this week: Fire In The Holes! Only way you get a better day than that with this tale is: When It Crawls Again!

Oh, and my parts guy reuses boxes too. I can see where that would scare the crap out of you.

Hi, CW shorthand for If I Remember Correctly. So, now you get to ask; What is CW? Ha! CW is what radio guys call the International Radiotelegraph Code. You might think of it as Morse Code, although there are differences between land wire line Morse and what is used on radio. CW stands for Continuous...

Hi, I have only had dozers with the higher single grousers. They do tear the ground up a bit. The calks don't do anything worse. Just poke holes. Gravel isn't an issue but I stay off pavement unless I want it to become little bricks. I can see where the calks will matter more with low loader grouser...

Hi, My 420c has had calks on since, oh, 1966 when Dad put them on. They don't do anything but poke little holes. The grousers do more tearing up. Well, dozer grousers. Not loader ones. The calks will save you in the winter plowing snow on the driveway on a hill. That is for certain. And why Dad inst...

Hi,

Not odd for 1 April.....

Stan

Hi, I doubt it is a short. Shorts equal smoke. I doubt it is the solenoid or it would do the same on the bench. That doesn't put a mechanical load on the gear though. If there is too much play between the gear and the starter shaft, the load of turning the engine will bind the gear and not allow it ...

Hi,

I am reading all this. But I do not recall any details of the starter used on the Detroit.

I am guessing that wear between the shaft and the gear is allowing the gear to bind on the shaft and preventing it from sliding back.

Here ya go!

Stan

Hi,

Wait. What? There was some fix that was easy and simple? (!)

It's Party Time!

Of course, I notice the water pump bearing sent the fan thru the radiator just after.....

But, still. Something was easy to fix on Old Iron! Whoot!
