I did this disc cleaning about 4 1/2 years ago and have put nearly 250 hours on the machine since. The clutch is working just find and I'm still happily saving $140-$160. Don't knock it unless you've tried it. It worked for me. Greg

I had good luck cleaning oil soaked clutch discs. I soaked them in gas over night then wire brushed.(on bench grinder) Then I used a torch to burn the gas and oil out. The oil/gas combination bubbled and burned leaving the disc clean and dry. I lit it and blew it out many times so as not to damage t...

On the diesel 1010s, they used 5 different starters I believe. 3 were 12volt & 2 were 24volt. Both the 24 volt were Delco-Remy. One of the 12 volt was a Prestolite. I don't know why the other fellow thought a 24volt system would be slugish. 2--12 volt batteries hooked in series will give you more am...

Does tha starter have serial # ? If it does, I think my parts book has the #'s, and I will check if it is original equipment. A 12 volt starter was also used in the 1010s. I think the 24 volt will start a diesel better. Greg

If you don't have a dedicated pump shop, try truck stops,truck dealers, tractor dealers, and etc. . Greg

Thanks again Lavoy-- When I open it up, do you have the seals, bearings, bands, and etc. that I will need to repair it correctly? Thank you,Greg

If it is oil on the band, wouldn't the clutches slip? Greg

Thanks Lavoy. I haven't been in to it yet. The clutches release OK and don't slip. I have them adjusted per JD shop manual. The brakes hold good if applied before the machine moves in either direction. They work fine if applied using the shuttle. (In the slight hesitation between direction) If appli...

Will brake bands from a 350 JD interchange with bands on a 1010 JD ? Thanks, Greg

If you decide to part it out, I'd be interested in the brake bands. Thanks, Greg

When I removed my leaking cylinder,(1010C) I was surprised to find a dust/wiper seal to the outside and brass used as the pressure leak seal. The outer seal was bad, allowing grime to foul the inner seal. After cleaning and springing the brass a bit larger, replacing the outer seal, installed and ad...

A simple way to check dip stick accuracy is to change oil and filter with correct amount, then check on your dipstick. Greg

I was able to remove a cylinder on a 1010c without taking the track off. I pulled the idler forward with a comealong as far as possible and colapsing the cylinder. Keep in mind, my pins/bushings were totaly worn out, allowing me to pull the idler almost off the rail. Greg

Maybe over full of oil. Might be the wrong dipstick. Greg

JackieB-- Thanks for your input. Sounds like something I can handle. Greg
