Tiger! you are the King of the Archive! Thank you very much! I have read these posts before my current problems. Funny how you see things differently the second time... especially when your in the middle of the problem! Reading these I do think I have a bleeding issue which might be caused by the re...

I did bleed it per the book. I have good flow to the pump but I didn't let it flow for very long. I opened the lines at the injectors and each one spits fuel in the firing order. Not sure how much it should flow at the injectors. But I am getting fuel. I checked the return line in the tank and it's ...

I worked some more today. I confirmed the fuel flow to the pump, checked the return to make sure there was no blockage to the tank, loosened the injector lines and bled it again. I did remove the hood and found the tank vent was plugged but I suspected it before removing the hood so I left the cap o...

Between loading and hauling hay today I was able to work on the crawler a bit. I changed the oil and while crawling under I noticed the right steering clutch housing is cracked.... That will have to wait... I warmed the glow plugs for 30 seconds, opened the throttle, 3 pumps on the primer and cranke...

John, Thank you for your reply. It will be saved in my archive of information. I won't say I fully understand everything you said but the point you make about the timing marks is clear. I didn't explain this on the original post be cause I tend to get too windy anyway but to give you the whole story...

I got the pump and injectors back from the pump shop. Couldn't wait to bolt it all back together so I put my bibs on and set up some lights. After getting it all back together, bleeding and correcting a couple of fuel leaks I was able to crank it over. Got a little smoke first then it would fire up ...

This is all pretty new to me but it looks like track is sagging quite a bit. Are the upper idler rollers in place?

John, Didn't make since to me either. Why not just turn up the existing pump?? I'm sure your right about an ag transplant. The rotor head has green paint on it. The top cap has yellow. Bastardized for sure. The previous owner said he ran it about 1/2 throttle most of the time. Does it make sense to ...

Maybe Deere offered "UCK's"??? User Configurable Kits. Pick from a list of engines transmissions, undercarriages, implements, etc with the appropriate adaptors... Walla! You have a one of a kind tractor! Ok back to reality... Does anyone have a good set of fuel lines for the late 1010 or 2010? Mine ...

I got off work a little early yesterday and in the daylight I could see crankshaft fan belt pulley is cast with notches around the circumference. A large screwdriver really didn't fit very well so I cut a short piece of 1/2" about a foot long and bent one end a few degrees. Fits perfectly! Is this a...

Lavoy, Thanks! Good idea. A little math and bingo! There is the displacement. I do have another question... of course. What is the best way to turn the engine by hand? Can you get a strap wrench around the pump coupling? The engine timing access hole is pretty small and the air cleaner would have to...

Tigerhaze, Thanks for the link. I will load test them by the weekend. I've learned more about the pump issue. Best I can tell by comparing the parts manual I have for the late model 1010 to the parts manual for the 2010 wheel tractors which I can find online. They used the same block, head, etc. Thi...

Baier just called me back. They called Spencer Diesel who actually does the rebuilds and he was told installing the 2DH on a 1010 would give 10-12 more HP. A lot can happen in 45 years! Not sure if I about juicing up an old tractor since I don't know the history. Could break stuff! Tigerhaze, I will...

Andrew, Thanks for figuring this out! The reason I'm confused is the parts book I got with the tractor (PC-727) the DBGVC429-1J is used from 10001-17360, DBGVC429-3A = 17361-31000, DBGVC429-1DH = 31000-xxxxx. Sounds like the 2DH is a replacement for the 1DH and my book maybe old information. Per the...

Checked the glow plugs and found about 1 ohm at each except #4 was 1.6 ohms. I haven't load tested them yet and I don't see how they could have worked the way the electrics are cobbled together. The VR is mounted on the under side of the dash, up-side-down and it doesn't have a cover. The contacts l...
