well my Crawler Crawl is over... at least for a few days.
Drove 4 hours to look at the loader tractor and it had serveral issues which would require a lot of work. In defense of the owner, he used it and it worked great for him until the transmission failed but it served its purpose. Instead of heading home we took a 2 hour detoured to look at the 1010 dozer with factory 3-point... no toplink

Long story short, I bought it.
It's a diesel and has been sitting for about 10 months when the engine lost power, was limped a few yards using the primer, died and hasn't been moved since yesterday. I worked on it last night and the injection pump isn't pumping. Removed the timing window and found black plastic hanging around. I think Jdemaris calls them mouse turds. This is a B model pump, checked before I bought it... The tractor is a late SN 48941 with a DBGVC429-2DH pump installed. The parts book says it should be a 1DH. 2DH isn't listed for the 1010. What gives?
It didn't have a battery so the guy hooked one up so we could crank it over. He connected to neg to ground. I checked the book and it's clearly a positive ground. He said he that's how he always connected it.... It still has the generator and VR. How can I tell if it should be positive or neg ground?
The main wiring harness is pretty bad and I don't find any voltage to the glowplugs and I need to check their resistance as well. Looking for a good harness and key switch.
