This guy had ignored a registered letter, so I was probably on pretty safe ground legally. Still it probably was a bold move. What got me mad enough to do something like this was, here I am trying to scratch out a living and this was somebody that wasn't hurting for money. I mean if you can afford a...

My 1010 gas with manual blade and winch scales out at 8720, my winch is not the gearmatic for that add another 400

Joel, I might have alittle different take on this because I am a logging and excatvation contractor. Biggest thing is liability insurance, got to have it or you risk losing everything you own. This is one sue happy nation. You might think your just doing a favor for a friend, but something gets dama...

Thanks for the info guys, that should be enough to make a informed decision. If I'd had sources of info like this years ago could have saved a lot of headaches from buying the wrong equipment.

Another question. What is the weight capacity of the loader?

might have a chance to buy a 1010 gas loader, Before I go to look at it I need some advice. It would be used primarily to load my single axle dumps at my gravel yard.

Not cheap, about $100. Everything in the operaters manual is in the service manual so you can save a lit...

Have the chance to buy the gearmatic winch that was originaly on my 1010 crawler. However it dosen't work, the guy that owned it worked on it, but could get it going. He reassembled it, no parts left over that I know of. So given that the condition is unkown, could be a easy fix or could be a basket...

Thanks Andrew, I go to a conference in Amherst Mass. every August so if you had something that I didn't need right away I could possibly pick it up, any excuse to extend the vacation. I have since read elsewhere that on the tensioners it is possible to recut the groove and use a seal from a 350. Thi...
