1010 Crawler Top Idler/Roller

Post by CACrawler » Wed May 24, 2023 3:47 pm

I am brand new to running a JD 1010 Crawler, I have many questions!

My serial number is 2057.3 it is in running condition.

I have downloaded the manual from JD. I noticed pictures and refences to a top idler/roller. Mine does not have one, there is no support for the tracks between the front idler and the final drive. Is this just a function of the time this particular crawler was built, did those come later? Or do they get damaged and not replaced?

Thanks!

Do you have a 4 roller or 5 roller crawler?

I was away from the 1010 for a bit. It is a four wheel.

Thanks!

4 roller crawlers did not come with an upper idler.

Hmm, I've often wondered why my upper idler on the four roller was welded on. Now I know. Without an engine it doesn't matter.
