ITS ALIVE !! John Deere 1010 Crawls From The Grave First Start
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 09. 2023
- The long dead 1010 John Deere is finally coaxed back into a running machine. Of course the video highlights the carburetor work and electrical testing in order to get it to the point of operation. So you will see a hand formed carburetor gasket being made and learn the basics for testing a set of points and a 12volt coil. To clarify, there is much much more to a coil than the basic test shown today, but at least with a five dollar volt-ohmmeter you will be able to determine if your coil is good enough to get fire for the plugs or not.
This 1010 sat here for a good number of years and would probably have never deteriorated to the point it is at the beginning of this video if I'd have just kept a little gas in it and used it from time to time over the years. But that's the way it is...use it or lose it is the order of the universe. Well, that unwritten 'rule' is kind of a double edged sword. Use it too much and it wears itself out and still ends up needing a lot of work. That goes for anything mechanical though. As we dig deeper into this little tractor, you will find out more of its history. There is still one major problem bugging the little guy and that's the clutch. I have to take a bit of credit....actually ALL the credit....for most likely the improper installation of the clutch disc 10 or 12 years ago. I remember poring over the manual to determine the direction of the disc because it was longer than two days since removal....jus' sayin'. I know there is almost always only ONE way for it to assemble, but I think this time I inadvertently installed it in the reverse position. And you and I BOTH know what that means....Its gotta come apart to see for sure. So at that point you will get a full disclosure of the dastardly deed of a bad repair by Tractorman44 !! Of course I'm just assuming that's the issue. That remains yet to be seen.
The fuel tank, unfortunately, is totally filled with encrusted rust flakes. The bad thing about this series of JD is the brilliance of the design engineers could not foresee the future development of the ethanol fuels and oxygenated fuels. The nasty fuels we get today seem to cause countless issues with old machines that are forced to sit for an extended period. So if you happen to be an oil/fuel company executive that contribute to the development of this nasty garbage you call 'modern fuels' I invite you to take a long walk off of a short pier. For the sake of all old tractor, old car and old truck enthusiasts...PLEASE, do it quick !! That my friend is all I have to say about that. Except I'd like to add that you have no friends here nor will you ever.
Now that that bit of a rant is off my chest....we can go back to the brilliance of the JD engineers as it ties into the nasty gas issue causing major tank issues. Those guys...and I know you know who you are....created a nightmare for us guys that like old tractors. Which one of you or what team of engineers thought it prudent to design a steering system that sends the steering shaft right through the center of the gas tank...?!! I mean, c'mon couldn't you have just made it any worse...?? Oh of course you can, you can and DID !! On this little 1010 you designed it to where the steering shaft has to pass through the top of the radiator too !! But kudos to you for putting the power steering unit in the space between the gas tank and radiator. At least its easy to get to to check and top off fluids. Ok engineers, you are forgiven. No wait. I'm kidding...please join the fuel company engineer in their long walk off a short pier as well.
You may think by the above rant that I don't like these tractors but that is far from the truth. I like all tractors but the best ones in my humble opinion are user friendly to work on....no matter the color. I also have a 50 JD as well as an older LA and have had a few A's as well, selling a '39 A just last year. I even housed a 330S for a friend a few years back. But he sold it to buy an engagement ring. Now the tractor AND his wife are BOTH gone. But I don't think the John Deere had anything to do with that...jus' sayin' (-; But I'm sure one time I heard her say he should have bought a RED tractor. Might be a connection after all......
Thanks for hanging in there and reading everything this far.... #johndeere, #firststart, #willitrun - Zábava
Great job, as always Wendell! Your skill and knowledge of resurrecting these old tractors never ceases to amaze me! Thanks for sharing!
Hahahaha...well Martin, I guy just gets lucky with a certain degree of frequency I guess....LOL. Thanks for visiting today. Have a great day my friend.
Wendell we are lucky men.
The mistakes we make may haunt us but haven't killed us yet.
When you were discussing the problems and fixes to said problems during the video you mentioned using a MIG welder to resuscitate a broken governor spring.
That reminded me of a story from the days before Sneelock was a real fix it and he did a few things that, well shall we say, weren't the most prudent.
It will be up tomorrow because we all like to see our heros admit that although we seem to have God Like Powers, it is just as likely to be selective editing.
Congratulations on getting the JD 1010 running.
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.
I just checked coils for continuity. Never bothered to read the resistance. I realize now that I could have been fooled by a shorted coil. Must be my luck held. If they passed current they worked.😁😎
For the gas tank fix I was going to take my 8N tank to a shop up by Battle Creek that repaired fuel tanks to remove the rust. I spoke to the owner and he told me how they would cut out an access panel in the top of the tank and be able to work both sides of the baffle and clean it.
The cost was right close to the cost of a new one so I decided to do the old method of filling the tank half full of water and a couple pounds of steel nuts. Then I strapped it over the front of my cement mixer and let it run.
It came out okay. If it hadn't I was planning on cutting a hole in the top and seeing if I could fix it myself.
Last year I saw Jon @ Farmcraft101 cut an hole in a bulldozer diesel tank and clean out the inside. He bolted a patch over the opening with a gasket. Might be something to try.
Well the old point systems were a bit forgiving but if you ever had a car, truck or tractor that seemed to eat points for fun...it might've been the resistance of the coil was too far out. That's why some require an external resistor on a 12 volt conversion if you want to keep a 12v coil in the circuit. Some guys put a toggle around the resistor to start it with the 12 v coil then switch the resistor back into the circuit immediately after she fires up.
We too have done the 'hole' route on a couple gas tanks. It's a last resort though for me. I use electrolysis on the ones without a baffle as well as having done the nuts routine ties to a tractor rear wheel. It's ALL a pita though no matter what. LOL
Your rant about all the “educated engineers” was interesting and well put. Reading the post before watching gives insight to the video. The Deere purred along very well in the trial run.
Hahahaha...some of the ideas those guys implement are just plain wacky !! If I gotta take the tank off to de-rustify it, (is that even a word..?), you will see how silly this design really is.
@@tractorman4461 it’s like the “engineers” too that design the interior of cars. So many have no place to put a purse, box of tissues or anything larger than a coffee mug.
@@mafarmtown2086 ...and the dashes are rounded to where if you set your sunglasses on them, they fly off at the first corner or acceleration. LOL Don't get me started on the gizmo's on the touchpad screens too....
WOOOHOOO! It WILL start! Our tractor has that carb. We needed to flatten the mating faces so the interior passages would seal properly. Cool tractor.
Yes, I've 'surfaced' them on an old 6x48 belt sander and used an industrial 'gasket maker' sealant on a new gasket to solve the issue as well. I got an old squeeze bottle of the sealant from an old buddy that's a retired heavy equipment mechanic. It was some good stuff too.
The tractors wouldn't be running at all here without the info I learned from @tractorman4461. Really appreciate these vids.
@@___PK__ Hahahaha....now don't go give me too much credit. LOL. But if you do get a little benefit from the videos I am happy to know that. Have a great day !!
Good job Wendell the old girl sounds great one smart cookie you are thanks for sharing take care have a great week
Good Morning Tom. I still have to do something with the gas tank. Boy o boy, is it rusted up ...WOW !! But I've been using it quite a bit on the pto wood splitter and I really like the little guy. Great utility tractor.
Runs very good for a quick start. Them gas engines with a bit of work always sound good....CHEERS
I don't think this tractor has ever worked real hard. That's a good thing. A few problems to work out then it'll be good to go for sure !!
As Dr. Frankenstein would say " it's alive!" Thxs for the vids!
Hahahahaha....so that must mean you're equating me to a 'mad scientist'....?? LOL. If so, it doesn't matter, I've been called much worse !! Thanks David for the early morning smile today.
I put a clutch disk in backwards on a Chevy pickup many decades ago. We hang a magnet on a copper wire in a rusty gas tank. And pull that magnet out and clean it off on occasion. We often catch some very fine rust on that magnet. The best way to address fuel is to never leave a drop of gas in the tank or carb if its going to set very long. But you already know that.
Yeah, this sat for a good many years with about an inch of gas in it. Its pretty bad...actually really really bad. And they run the steering shaft through the center of the dang tank too. That makes it much more difficult. I do the magnet too then do the electrolysis thing with them. But this time, I might try the vinegar trick. I have three gallons to dump in there after I power wash it. I'm not sure the clutch is backwards, I'm just betting it is. Looking in the inspection hole, and the adjustment made for the most travel the throw out bearing bottoms out before the disc fully disengages.
Awesome Wendell, it run so sweet, no smoke at all, like it my friend, cool little red seat with wheels in the shop
Thank you Jan. Surprisingly, it runs pretty smooth with the initial carb settings but there ARE a few things that need attention. Number one is to either service the horrible tank or put a larger temporary tank on it for a while. I've just helped a widow-lady friend pack up for moving to her sons in Arizona and she asked me if I'd like to give the little wheeled seat a new home....so here it is !!
Sounds good I knew we had the right guy on the job take care have a great week
Hahahaha...as long as my luck holds out Tom. I'm thinking this week is gonna be a bit cooler....I hope.
Happy Labor Day Wendell. Got your magic working on a another tractor.
I hope your holiday was relaxing as well. I'm hoping this little 1010 turns into a handy utility tractor after I get some more stuff sorted out with it. Thanks for the visit Bob.
Great content as usual. Thank you sir. Love to see a 1010 brought back to life.
It's still hooked to the pto wood splitter and doing a fine job. I really like the way the pto is engaged from the side. And it's almost like its designed to be so cumbersome to get off the tractor with it engaged to make sure you do DIS-engage it before getting off.
Sounds really good for a Deere 😂 but in that vintage, they were well built. Much better than all the tier 4 emissions the government requires today tm44. Good job on the gasket making too.
Ahhhhh....its good to start the day with a JD joke... The Missus even said it sounds much better than a John Deere !! (She's used to the two cylinder JD's can ya tell?) LOL. Speaking of that Dean, I picked up a new (used) radiator for the JD 50 this weekend. So it may get a little attention soon.
Great videos glad you got it running!
Good Morning Timothy. Yessir it sure did start....drives around too !! Now on to a few items that need attention on the little guy.
It lives to plow again. Or maybe just rake. Good one tractor man.
Hahahaha.....all the above. But all we have now is a food plot and a ton of woods. My son uses the 2000 Ford and Dearborn plow for that. I think I'll move that to the side and slip the JD onto the job this year.
Hey, Wendell. Nice project going on! I,m a diesel mechanic on modern stuff, so what you sometimes show is rocketscience to me. I get to work on these oldtimers one in a while and then remember what you would do. Thanks for it!
Well what you do with the modern diesels is rocket science to ME !! That's a tough gig. My son and a nephew are operators and two of the mechanics are good friends of mine. I can't imagine doing the things you guys gotta do in the conditions you have to do them in !! Now there shop work is great, but boy the breakdowns in the field are quite the different story. I'm impressed with all you guys. The silly stuff I do here is childs play by comparison, but thank you for the very kind words.
Great job Wendell!!!
Good Morning Virgle. It's a great day to take a short ride on a green tractor for a change. Now the red ones will be jealous. (-;
Thanks for another great video 👏👏
Thanks Tony for another visit my friend. I am glad you guys seem to enjoy these videos.
Nice work Wendell!
Thanks Matt....it DOES run surprisingly well for just the preliminary settings on the carb after cleaning.
Awesome 👏 👏👏!!! Of course it ran it had all the right ingredients to run. Honestly if you think about it that engine had no choice but to run haha!!! Good work and great video!!! Your mechanic minded friend Rob in California
Some times its hard to get the ingredients to agree to be in the same place at the right time though. LOL. That broken governor spring messed things up for a while. I need to replace it because I welded it back together three coils from the end. It'll be ok until it breaks though. LOL
@@tractorman4461 Yes isn’t that the truth!!!!! Sometimes these machines challenge and beat us up!!!!!
@@gaspumprob Well Rob, I rely heavily on Lady Luck looking over my shoulder frequently....whispering sweet suggestions in my ear. (-;
Sounds awesome
Thank you Allen. It does run surprisingly good right out of the chute. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Awesome Wendell 😁👍 Happy to see you got it running! I actually got some stuff done this weekend as well, the weather was nice for a change. Take care🔧🔩
Boy howdy !!! Its a good feeling to get a few things done ain't it Zane. It was a little mild for a change. I WAS getting a little tire of the triple digits. Have a fun holiday today.
I followed along each step and nodded in agreement, but I was waiting most intently for that exhaust note to turn to 'music' ( for me ) You didn't disappoint Wendell,
Thumbs Up.
Good Morning my friend. All I can say Reg is Lady Luck must be by my side !! There are a few issues to solve with this little guy, and those will probably be addressed in future videos. One is a bad one....well both of them are bad ones, but I don't want to ruin my day thinking about it. LOL. But it IS running pretty darn smooth though. That's GOOD !!
@@tractorman4461 Thou shalt conquer all,.... when it comes to tractors Hahahaha!
@@regsparkes6507 That's funny Reg....but I think you're thinking of my Much Older Brother. LOL I'm just a blip on the radar compared to him.
@@tractorman4461 Well,... that maybe so, but I've heard that when Submariners see that '"blip" on the RADAR they sit up and take notice, don't they? LOL
@@regsparkes6507 hahahahaha....you're killin' me Reg. LOL. I hope you have a wonderful week up there in God's country.
John Deere 1010 tractors are highly collectable now by guys restoring the first series after the 2 cylinder was phased out. AL B.
That's good to know. It makes sense though. And as the old timers like me get older, these are what a lot of the younger collectors/restorers grew up with on the smaller farms.
Hi my friend. it sounds great. Even in today's new junk Gas engines are using a coil invented by Nikola Tesla Many decades ago. He wanted to give the world free energy,sadly this ruined him has rich people couldn't make money off of it. Has always I liked and shared. All my very best to you and yours.
Good Morning Bobby. Good to hear from you today. Tesla was a brilliant man that's for sure. Waaaay ahead of his time. Unfortunately he died penniless as I understand. There's a thin line between brilliance and insanity and its sometimes hard to decide which one he was. But he sure left the world better than it was when he entered it.
There's an industrial coating that you put in your gas tank and I can't remember the name of it. I did it on his bobcat. You did it on an old car gas tank but he made it sound like it wasn't made for that. It would the pinholes in the tank. Have you ever heard of this stuff? Great job on the tractor 🚜. 10-4 good buddy on the 10:10 glad you didn't do a 10 100 with it 😜 at your 10:20. I missCB jargon
You're killin' me with the Smokey and the Bandit banter. I used to know some of the call numbers...our base was WAB751. My mobile unit was 32. We were running about 16 maybe 17 trucks at the time. On another note, I have a whole box of handsets with charger bases that my friend used to use in their salvage yard to keep track of the workers, cranes and skidloaders. I would love to sell them cheap to someone needing them. I don't know if they require a base unit or not. I think I remember his sitting in the office with just one of the handhelds. Heck I bet there's 15 or 20 in the box. Heck, you should watch this video: czcams.com/video/KW_Etp_PUqM/video.html This guy really knows his stuff about the tank sealants. You may or may not recognize him.
looks ok solid back from uk
Good morning Nigel. I think it's going to be a nice little utility for daily chores once I get it all sorted out for good.
Considering I'm about the same age as the 1010 I have say it's in about the same condition as I am.
Thank you Wendell.
Hahahaha....so you are getting a little rusty, spark is a little weak and don't pass gas...?? Well dang, I guess there are worse things to have as afflictions. Thanks Bryce for setting yourself up for that. LOL
@@tractorman4461 My pleasure. You forgot the low tires !!!
@@brycewiborg8095 LOL, I picked on you enough Bryce. (-;
Fantastic....it lives and drives.
Good morning Terry. I got lucky on another one !! Now to sort out the rest of it.
@@tractorman4461 Still impressive, what's the old saying, "it's better to be lucky than good", or something along those lines.
I picked up a 1967 Ford 2000 gas last Sunday. Drove about 6 and a half hours to get it. Here's a video of it that the seller sent me. czcams.com/users/shortsYrxXYT4C23o?si=nTK6MOcQyUviAOxn
@@316jd140 Wow ! That thing looks mighty blue !! The main thing is it sounds pretty dang good. I'm sure that's gonna be a good one for you. I couldn't tell the motor though...3 cylinder like mine or the 4 cylinder one ?
@@tractorman4461 There were two versions of the Ford 2000, the first one, from 1962 to 1964 was just a rebadged and upgraded 601 series with the 134 OHV 4 cylinder. Then in 1965, Ford came out with the 3 cylinder 2000, as well as the 3 cylinder 3000, 4000 and 5000 tractors. There were gas and diesel versions of all models, and all with 3 cylinder engines.
From what I read was that the American diesel Ford tractors that came out in the late 50s was just a gas engine converted to diesel. In Europe, though, Ford was making 3 cylinder diesel engines that were designed from the ground up to be diesel engines. So when Ford redesigned their tractors in 1965, they used that same 3 cylinder diesel engine and converted it to gas. And they also put the diesel engine in those models to give customers the option of gas or diesel. That line was made from 1965 to 1974, and in 1975 the line got upgraded, i.e. the 2000 became the 2600, the 3000 became the 3600, etc.
@@316jd140 Thanks for the additional info. Btw, I sold the old Ford hundred series loader this morning. Loaded it for a young man in Richwoods. My 2000 is a '72 three cylinder gasser. I converted it to Pertornix electronics you may remember.
I really enjoy your videos and I learn a lot. I have a farmall h and it’s been sitting for about 5-6 years. I got it cranking but not started. Is there any way I can get in contact with you I have a few mechanical questions cause I really want to get it running.
Well, I get a high quantity of emails daily so most times it takes me a while to answer them sometimes, but you can try at whpete44@gmail.com. In the meantime, I'd suggest at least glancing through the Farmall H playlist here: czcams.com/play/PLk72G9DTzZ1u4HTcEVKC3ehyV_UsFYaAG.html or some of the First Start playlist as well: czcams.com/play/PLk72G9DTzZ1uWqQ2hDCRVubPve9JlLzhw.html There's a ton of coverage about wiring issues, points, condensors and alternator conversions. Good luck, with the project and I'll try to keep an eye out for an e mail.
🤣🤣🤣 That long walk off a short pier goes double for me!!! Some of the new vehicles are even worse. Trying to do just basic maintenance can be a nightmare. I know they make it difficult so you have to take it to a Dealer but it can be idiotic. The steering shaft through the radiator on my Farmalls is pretty dumb too. Taking the gastank off of my JD "B" can be a real chore with the steering shaft right in the way. I think sometimes it looks like one engineer designs part of it and another engineer needs to change the design to make something fit and they just do what is easiest at the time for them. 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂ Having so many tractors and vehicles makes it difficult to always use or run each one to keep them operating properly. Making time between projects is usually real difficult. ☹☹☹
Yeah...I think it's crazy to route the steering shafts through the tanks and radiator. TheMuch Older Brothers 400 LP does the same thing. I feel your pain with the too many tractors and too many vehicles !! LOL Btw, I just picked up a radiator for the JD 50 this weekend. I'm planning on a winter repair for that thing. Along with a few little tid bits on the 1010...two of which are kinda major.
Great job getting it started! How many more tractors to go?
Ohhhhh .....Jeff. I'm afraid I'm not gonna live that long. So I'm actually starting to move some down the highway. Mostly either in parts or pieces or maybe whole non-running tractors as parts tractors to start with. But then again I might sell all of 'em and buy ONE new one I won't have to work on. I'd like to sell 30 by New Years Day. But I doubt that will happen.
Nice old tractor would be great for a finish mower
I agree, it sure would be. I just sold a woods finish mower last week too. LOL There's a few more things to sort out on the little fella though. At least its mobile now.
Hello. Do you add any lead additive in with the gas? My dad was saying I should on my Oliver super 55 I am working on.
I only add lead to old engines that I totally rebuild. Some of them have valve seats that are no longer available and the lead softens the impact of closing. The same thing goes for the hardened surface on the existing cam shaft if its re-used with everything else being installed new. The hardened surface on the cam lobes have decades of wear already so may as well protect them from the new parts as well. Other than that situation, I just use a product called PRI-G for gas engines to maintain the new formulated fuels stability. I also am fond of using SeaFoam for long-term storage of gas powered equipment. But one thing about it, your dad isn't wrong....it sure isn't going to hurt anything to use it. The naysayers swear nothing is needed for anything, but personally I don't agree.
Purrs like a kitten.
Its still got some problems but I will get them ironed out in the next few months.
I recently purchased a 2010 that was sitting for years. The right back wheel won't turn. Any advice on freeing a brake or could it be something else. Thank you.
More than likely its a stuck brake Alan. They have a tendency to rust up especially if the old machine sat outside for a considerable time. IF its something else, you may be in for a bad day. I haven't needed to get into these yet, but they can't be too difficult. As a matter of fact, they may actually be disc brakes. A lot of tractors were changing to those in the late 50's or so.
Nice job Wendell. The little 1010 sounds pretty good. My wife wants me to ask you what brand and model vacuum sealer your family uses. She seen it in one of your videos where you where putting up beef I believe. Thanks.
Our original one is a Cabela's CG-15. I was looking up parts and found that they are made by Weston. So now the Cabela's is the backup and the Weston Pro-2100 is the one we use. All parts interchange, essentially the same machine. The vacuum pump failed in the Cabela's and they wanted $135 for the pump that'll sit on a half dollar and made of plastic. Probably thermoplastic, but still it failed. The Much Older Brothers CG-15 is at least 20 years older than mine and still working perfectly. Expect $350 or so for the Pro-2100.
@@tractorman4461 thank you. I appreciate it. She goes through 1 of the foods foodsaver brands about every 3 years.
@@ricksmith-iw2op Foodsavers aren't much for doing whole hogs or beef. My Much Older Brothers has done literally dozens of beef and even more hogs in the years we've used it. Never a failure. I think mine failed because of a factory assembly problem. But once I buy the part, its literally a 20 minute fix. But ALL the parts are interchangeable.
Have you ever found a screen or filter on the hydraulic system on the 1010 ?
No, but I haven't looked yet. Eventhough this sat here for ten years or more, I just got it cleaned up and running a few months back. So for now it's been on the pto wood splitter to get some run time. Its not mine, I'm just storing it so I thought I should go ahead and use the darn thing. It looks like its going to be here a while.
Yup my purrs like a tomcat in a creamery but FEL is getting a little sluggish.
Some rats have eaten the spark plug wires, Just verifying distributor on the 1-3-4-2, 1 is upper right, then left is 3, down left 4, and down right is 2. Rotor is counter clockwise. Correct?
Sorry I missed this comment and I'm sure you've got yours up and running by now. But yes the distributor turns CCW and the firing order is 1-3-4-2. The actual location of the wires on the cap really doesn't matter as long as the rotor is pointing to the wire that goes on #1 when you begin installing the wires...then go CCW with 3, 4 and 2. Some caps do have a #1 identifying a terminal so on those I try to always put that wire to #1 to avoid confusion, but you still have to be sure the rotor is pointing to that port on the cap. Damn rats !!
Sweet 🏆 👴 🐕 🚜👍💪😎🤠👏
I've had it on the pto splitter since this and it is really sounding good and smooth with just a little bit of runtime.

Sí, señor. Tienes razón una vez más amigo.
Definitely different sound then the 440 2 cylinder, jonny pop
.
its supposed to be about the same displacement, as the 1010,
4 cylinder.
The Much Older Brother has a 440 highlift with the 2-53 Detroit two stroke diesel. I'm not familiar with a 440 wheel tractor Bruce.
@tractorman4461 it's the same engine transmission with tires.
The 1010 was also made as track and wheel versions.
Yellow and green versions are out there.

Wait till you need to time it, lol!
Luckily its running pretty good for now. I just put points in my older brothers 301 three cylinder gasser and that was tough enough !! That's the tightest distributor I think I've ever been in. This 1010 was a snap by comparison. What's the deal with the timing on this one...??
