- This was Andrew’s first piece of equipment that he ever purchased. He bought the 1010 johndeere bulldozer in 2009 and then sold it some years after that.  He found it in marketplace and sent it to me. I bought it so I can pull logs and do some grading around my house. The guy that I bought the bulldozer off of just put a new motor in it but never told me the steering clutch was bad. Andrew came over to tell some stories and run it.

The way he explains everything to this channel really explains on how genuine Andrew really is ... very down to earth youtuber who earns any penny he made on here
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Andrew has done so many jobs. He is a wealth of experiences.
I rebuilt the clutches on my 420 in 2015 and have had little trouble since. I used all used parts nothing new. The most important thing with these clutches is to adjust the fingers properly on the pressure plate, my guess is Andrew didn't do this the first time and probably why he had issues with the clutches. They are a very good working machine when setup properly. Goodluck with it.
Great video Dave …..looking forward to seeing the repairs done to the dozer. I think it’s going to be a pain in the butt to get apart and back together again lol😄
Love listening to Andrews past experiences. Subbing to the channel.
Thanks
Great piece of equipment to learn things. Chemically de-greasing the clutch a few more times is worth trying.
Yeah, you’re right brake cleaner is cheap
Dave don't listen to the BS coming through the comments ,, if some people can't be appreciative, of someones work and lots of time Hard work, then they need to STFU... they dont read too good and can't or won't comprehend what anything is about in this world,, let alone get out and give it a go themselves .. as British Paints ads used to go .. Keep on keeping on ,,as for Personal attacks they are jealous as to what you and others have done are doing and mostly will continue to do ,, strive to do better ,, keep it up .. Love watching all this sort of stuff ..Cheers From Australia... Greg
I have the same dozer and the manual I’ve tried to adjust so many times they never work Andrew is exactly right even if it gets rebuilt it may work for a day or 2 bad design but still a good dozer I have a winch on mine works great that’s about all I do with it
Re-gap/file the points. I had one of these and it took me a while to get the points set properly but once done it ran sooo much better.
Thanks for your vid Dave 😇💗💗💗 bless and love us all.
G ,day Dave A handy little dozer with a story with it a good dozer to learn on cheers Mate.....
Good video Dave, hope your new dozer works out for you, I have no doubt any and all issues with it, you will fix. Should be a good machine for you. Just subscribed.......from Iowa.
Just found your channel love the content really enjoying it
Great video Dave. Can’t wait till the next one.
It has potential. It starts, it runs, and you have a good idea what's wrong with it. That means it can be fixed.
I've been watching you for a few months now and it's only right that I like(many of your videos before) and subscribe...... I like your work mate !!! all the best towards future ...from Australia !!! :)
👍
Nice to see this old iron and all but that's a big job dealing with the steering clutch issue, bought half of a dozer
Here because of Andrew and subbed. Looking forward to see it fixed
All the old john deeres with dry steer clutches had problems. They never worked or they froze up. We had a couple 350s and it was an every year thing to put discs and pressure plates and brake bands in them use to buy whole kits that used to include everything for 1 side.
If nothing else, it should make for a cool video trying to get this repaired and working again. Look forward to that (of course you may not be, sorry...), good video none-the-less. Have a good one!!👍
I think the clutch should work. I do also think It's a precision work and the seals are super important to do right.
Very entertaining video, looking forward to seeing what you do with this machine back to fully operation. I saw a comment on here saying that flushing the clutch out with kerosene helps, sounds like a decent plan.
That’s definitely the first thing I’m going to try, couple dollars in kerosene
love the content Dave! You deserve more Subs.
Thanks
Just got 1 more.
Dave , What I recommend is taking it to Andrews place to work on it. I'm sure he has most of the clutch tools if they are needed. Just leave enough room for him to get something else in if needed. Find the repair and parts manual.. I wish you well...
This was great, thanks for sharing. I appreciate you. Subbed
Best of luck with her Dave 👍
Dad had a old cletra dozer growing up .Had it for years
Congratulations DD.
Thanks! I wish It wasn’t broke already
Hey Dave, I like your video style. I get stiffed on pretty much everything I buy cos I never see the problems until I get home. DOH! At least you'll get some content out of this one. I've noticed that some CZcamsrs only respond to reasonable comments & I think that's a good idea, don't feed the trolls & all that haha. I'm gonna do that if I start a channel. Good luck with the dozer 🙂
Thanks
Yes i have the same thing with my I H 500c and i need rollers well done
Great videoing skills Dave. You’re making great content
Thanks
Everyone starts with a antique farm dozer and spends a fortune just to find out they weren’t made to nothing more than to clean fence lines. That includes me as well! My first money pit was a 500 international with a bad final drive a busted radiator and completely trashed undercarriage. After spending a fortune and every spare moment I found out I had to sale it and move to a 450g then a 650g and now a 650g wide track. The 80s d5 cats are the most reasonable to buy and they are good solid tough tractor. Good luck with your new adventure.
Thanks
Love the view from that property !
Thanks my old video show a lot of work I did here but not the best quality lol
I'm always running equipment My neighbors just love me when they see a piece of equipment pull up they just growl
I've had several of those and the steering clutches and brakes are quite a job. Most 1010's have 5 roller undercarriages and yours has 4.
The more I hear people talk about it the less I want to do it. Like Andrew says he’s never seen one after getting work done that actually worked.
@@Dumpster_Dave Mine worked great after I did it but you have to make sure your linkages are not worn and there is a procedure for setting them up.
Dave, I have a 933 with similar issues. I flush mine out with kerosene once a year per the D2 manual. Seems to work pretty good.
I think it is just how these older systems worked. Essentially a stop gap against tear down.
Would I be better off getting a bucket of brake cleaner and fill it with that?
I mean to flush it out
@@Dumpster_Dave i have never used that much brake clean to clean a transmission housing. Not sure if it would react with the clutch bonding adhesives or not. Probably not; but I use the kerosene because that is what my manual suggests and then I just filter it afterwards and burn it.
OK I’ll use kerosene
@@Dumpster_Dave that'd be a cool video. Appreciate ya
Track vehicle repair 101. Should be interesting. Hope important parts are available.
Yeah, Andrew found most of the parts, still pretty big job
I have a 350 that I put new fiber clutches in and I guess they swelled up. now it pulls both sides very well but won't turn 4 inches in a hundred yards. I would suggest the more expensive metallic plates. Scott
Feel your pain. Got totally screwed on a skid loader. Glad you got yours going. Now to just find the oil leak.. Mine..... failed on day 2 and after much work is still yet to work. (and am 2yrs into it)
What happened to your skid loader
@@Dumpster_Dave I test drove it. Except starter it worked fine. They delivered it.
Blew a hydraulic line or valve minutes after first drive , got oil on the CVT belt (yeah it is that old.. no hydaulic motor... has cvt and a transmission for wheel drive). slick cvt belt.... could not move... new it had starter problem while let that dry/look for new belt. Found starter.... gear drive.. happy that would "supposedly" spin engine faster.... but nope. two of them later and.. they just grind up. Found new starter of standard type... think engine must have gotten bound.....it too gives up. I use could turn engine over by hand.... now I seem to have a stop point. Ive no garage or shed so am limited by weather and energy after full day of work.
Engine is a 1958 Weukashia diesel someone swapped into it.
I had a 42 Ford tractor and the clutch would stick if it sat for a week. So I drilled a small hole in the beginning I could spray brake cleaner on it every now and then. Worked like a champ then
That old gas motor definitely need a new governor or adjustment, it bogs and surges with any load.
Dave, ignore the naysayers best you can and continue along your way, doing business as you know how. Four trucks and 82 dumpsters is quite the accomplishment and is admirable. They are merely unhappy people and deserve no acknowledgement.
Nice one buddy looking forward to the next vide👍
That doser is like a sentimental volio with money can't by.
I am a big fan of Andrew Camarata wen you see him give him a big hug 🫂 for me.
I am now jost subscribed recently but I am becoming your fan to buddy.
Kind regards from London Ingland 🇬🇧
@Dumpster_Dave435 you give me a heart on the original comment that I left on the video the I will contact you back thank you.
Nice little Bulldozer
Hopefully you can fix it up successfully and get some good use out of it.
Just put all the b.s aside get the best used parts avail + buy new or fix what you can't find and just fix it , get her done and then break the m.f again !! My first boss when I started driven truck told me " one thing all machines do is break " count on it , learn to fix it cause paying someone else don't pay you !! Lol good luck new sub 👍
i would put OEM clutches in it and get a manual so you know the factory adjustment operating procedure
I remember when I first started following Andrew he was talking about making the roads up to his castle property and the only thing he had was this little dozer. Didn't have a lot of video, of it, but posted a lot of photos of it and all the work he was doing with it, and how it broke down...to see it again is bitter sweet, and but a lot of memories. The last guy that had this, was dishonest about the issue of the steering clutch and should of been honest about it, cause even Andrew remembered it was crap and never worked right. wondering if you should of sent Andrew a pic of this BEFORE you bought this. Sure Andrew will be a big help if you need him.
Yeah Andrew found it on market place and the guy said it had a new motor and clutch also some other stuff. I should have brought him with me when I bought it.
He did say use it for a little bit and it would need work lol - I have faith you can fix it Dave!
Lol Andrew said he’s never seen one of these repairs work before that kind of makes me nervous
@@Dumpster_Dave Thats usually how it goes, when Andrew repairs something. I think someone with actual knowledge on properly fixing heavy equipment, would manage to get it to work.
Why would you even want to buy that POS? Waste of time and money
Well, I bought it because I thought it worked. I have a lot of trees and stuff to drag out of my property. The guy I bought it from said he’ll pay for have to parts but still super annoying
@@Dumpster_Dave Dave, maybe better to sell this dozer 'as is' & go find another JD or other well known brand. Then you will have usability rather than always gotta fight to get parts & spend lots of time fix'n rather than working. Sell & get another higher quality unit. Best of luck!💪🍺😋
The steer clutches in my 1010 track loader work just fine once they busted lose, the brakes not so much, but I still have to get into them to work on them. For the size that it is the 1010 is one of the best little machines I've found, but people try to overwork them, they look larger than they actualy are. An upgrade I'd recommend doing to it is replacing the dash shifter with a floor shifter (It should be bolt in unless I'm mistaken). Something isn't right in that left hand clutch compartment, I don't think the linkages are assembled properly, or maybe it's getting oil into it, but you'd need to pull that side's final drive off to fix it (Yes, you do have to drop the track frame to do it, but I've yet to see a machine where you don't have to do that). Sadly, most of this machine's issues look like they stem from being 'Camarata'd' (Don't get me wrong, I love his channel, but how he runs and works on machines flat out scares me), so good luck and invest in the manuals for it (trust me, they are lifesavers)
I’m going to order the manual. I’ll start with that
My dad has a 420, I believe he has both the service manual and the parts manual. He’s had it apart many times to do various repairs. Overall a great machine though and he’s done a ton of work around the property with it. Especially firewood in the winter. The winch on the back will easily pull half a dozen poplar trees out of the bush!
I definitely gotta agree with you.
No shop would put up with some of the things he does.
Like using a chainsaw to cut a hole in a dashboard.
Good way to end up with anterial blood spurting everywhere when there's so many cordless tools he coulda used.
I have several diplomas for working on small engines to Pratt and Whitney R1820 radial engines, General Electric T58 turboshaft helo engines, motorcycles and even welding certification.
I'd be real careful about bying something he's worked on.
That said, I do watch his channel.
His container castle build first got me watching his channel.
The carb on that dozer needs work.
It's obvious from the surging actions of the govenor.
Parts are readily available online to rebuild the finals and brakes on it.
And the tracks.
If you can't stop oil from getting on the steering clutch, make up a way to keep putting brake clean on them, some kind of hose you can spray brake clean down.
Someone else suggested kerosene, it would be cheaper if it worked.
Andrew bless you .
These little tractors actually work well if they're put together right.
YOU CAN DO IT!!! Dave!!!
The brake clean worked!!!
For a min. It felt better
Getting at that steering clutch and brake is a real pain but can be done. You will need a hoist or cherry picker, some of those parts are kind of heavy. And you may need to fabricate some tools and fixtures to hang stuff.
Thanks
I would love to see Andrew in personal, I've been following him for almost 4 years now.
Sounded like it needs carb work too. Not bad for an older machine though.
When it comes to that Bulldozer, the saying ,pulling the skin off a rice pudding comes to mind 😂
Cure for issue of pulling log is to chain it so the chain pulled from bottom of log as opposed to top.
Andrew, I LOVE your videos (one of the most relaxing channels), but please, oh please, consider using lapel mikes to have a consistent voice audio. Getting tired of adjusting the volume for varying voice levels vs the loudness of machines. Thanks. 😃❤❤❤❤❤
Dave Super Video
Good luck
Collector's item!
I guess lol
@@Dumpster_Dave Ask Andrew to sign it and the price triples 😄
Nice machine. Try to hook chain as far under as you can get on top to much down force just saying from the couch 😂😂😂 👊👊
would love to see the videos on that Journey or should I say headache 🤭
you know your load is secure please do a video on how to tie down big machines
Try some dawn, it works on dishes and oily ducks! Joking 🤣
Put some brake fluid in the gear oil. Brake fluid makes the gaskets swell up and sometimes reseal. Then evacuate the gear oil out of the clutch area and maybe it will dry out.
The dawn soap may not be a bad idea
@@Dumpster_Dave I doubt dawn will work like that. Once you get the gear oil out, heat will burn off the residual oil saturating the clutches. Try the brake fluid, you should be able to notice what is leaking down as the clutch area fills up. Keep evacuating the oil from clutch area and spraying brake cleaner on the clutches. Eventually they will burn off all the oil.
I like that truck bed
Comes in handy
For those of you complaining,this dozer was one of Andrew's first piece of equipment and he sold it to a third party years ago...
Dave found it and the owner said it was running and working but failed to mention that the steering clutch was defective..
Hopefully it's a leaking seal allowing oil to get in steering box and you can get it running smoothly!!💯👍
Thank you
@@Dumpster_Dave try brake fluid in the gear oil. It might make the gasket swell up enough to reseal.
@@Dumpster_Dave definitely don’t put brake fluid in it lol
Kerosene
I have seen this dozer come up for sale 3 times since I sold it.
Cool. Subbed
It’s weird hearing Andrew talk more on someone elses channel than his own! 🤣
Those tractors are easy to work on. Buy a service manual, it will show you how to fix it. When it is slipping like that it needs new clutch plates and a new pressure plate. When fixed properly it will last a long time.
And an oil seal or two.
Did you really ask Andrew if he has jumper cables?! He probably sleeps with a set every night hahah
Haha he actually didn’t have a pair
@@Dumpster_Dave hello Dumpster Dave I'm new too your channel. Are you from United states?
When you fix it you can make a video of it driving through the guy’s house
Maybe a few cans full of brake parts cleaner might get rid of all the earl on those clutches?
There should be a drain plug underneath the clutch box. Try filling up the box with diesel and hold the pressure plates open and let it sit over night. Drain it and spray it with plenty brake cleaner. That might get you by for a while. The complete clutch kit is cheap. I have a Mitsubishi BD2 that I changed steering clutch on. I found out the hard way by pulling the track and gear assembly off and didn’t even have to. That clutch pack should come out as an assembly through that same access cover. Find you a clean dry place to work and put the machine on blocks so you can rotate the tracks so you can get to all the bolts. Good thing is you shouldn’t have rusted bolts. That machine is well worth fixing just make sure you change the seal when you got it down
Should I dump parts cleaner in there instead of diesel?
@@Dumpster_Dave It shouldn’t hurt it. As long as you have something just strong enough to cut the gear oil. Hit it with an air gun and dry it out real good before you try it
OK so when I put it in there, I probably shouldn’t put up on blocks and put it in drive cause I could hurt it?
@@Dumpster_Dave No, I meant to say to put it on blocks if you decide you gonna have to end up having to actually change it out. You can fill it up with cleaner just like it is for now. The reason I said to put it on blocks is only so you would be able to rotate the assembly so you could get to all the bolts.
@@Dumpster_Dave I think you might get lucky with cleaning it. The problem I had was water that got in there and mixed with all the clutch dust and really made a mess. My clutches probably lasted for a hundred hours or so before they finally gave out.
Those are a chapter in JD history that JD themselves would probably like to forget…….
Well it does work just not as good as it should , but that’s how we learn how to fix stuff that’s broken. From the way Andrew was talking I’m not to sure it’s worth the time and aggravation ..He did say he talked you into buying it so maybe he’ll have a heart and help you out if he can .. I seen a super sport Nova in the back ground, I’d like to see a video on that car .. I had several of em in my younger days 🤙
Yeah, I’ll definitely do a video on a nova. I’ve been buying some parts for.
The 1010 was the first to have a option for a direction reverser, that you didn't need to push the cluch in each time.
The older 440s had to have the clutch pushed each time, or the reverser would fail. That's probably the biggest advantage of a 1010 over a 440.
I'm not seeing the blanked off reverse in the main box, so I'd say it doesn't have it.
.
The 350s have a 2gen power reverser in nearly every one of them, but there still was a base model with a gas engine.
440s are 2 cyl
1010 are 4 cyl
350s are 3 cyl
All 3 where sold as dozer or loader versions.
over the years I've seen a few with backhoes alwayson a loader version, ripper, one with winch on top of ripper, and gearmatic 8# winches hydraulic and non hyd versions. There's also a 9# that they could be possibly upgraded to, it does a better job of not rusting up the brake bands.
the hydraulic 6 way blade.
And hyd track tightening, over the threaded bolts.
The 350 C's were the good ones with wet clutches.
@@johnhaines6546 there is a 350-D version as well. But it's quite rare.
Ether more displacement or turbo.
Some things got a little stronger. Largely drivetrain related.
Maybe at this point, I should just order a wet clutch
@@Dumpster_Dave The clutches worked well when they were being used but they stick together when they sit for a while.You have like 7 or 8 discs and steels per side.They do make a new disc that is far more resistance to sticking but you can't convert to wet clutches.
The reversers in the 1010s are terrible too, part of the reason why 1010s have such a bad reputation
Thanks for replying. Don't worry about what you paid for the dozer. I have a 68 Camaro I restored. And at the time about 22 years ago, and had 13 grand into it. Was probably worth 14. But as time goes on, inflation. Worth 2 to 3X more now. You can't always hit a home run like you did on that tractor and brush hog. Man, am I jealous of you on that deal! If you want a hand one day, let me know. It will give me a little more hands on experience, when I do mine in a few months. I live in northwestern Connecticut. I can pick up some wood pellets from Jessie at Slaters pellets. Over by Hanford supermarket, while I'm in the neighborhood. Either way, it will make for some interesting youtube videos. Once fixed. You'll just have to run it every few months, and the clutches won't stick. Another dangerous way to free those clutches was to run it into a large tree or Boulder. Sometimes the force would be enough to break them apart. I'd never do it because you can get thrown from the seat. On another note. I'll be looking forward to you wrenching on the Nova. I may have some parts and tips for that. I have 3 first gen Camaros. And the Nova is an F body. Lots of parts match up. Take care.
Thanks, if you one day are planning to be in the area let me know
Jessy could have that running like butter
They were junk new and I'm sure after he is done with it it deserves a medal for still being in one piece
It’s been through two owners since Andrew owned it he bought it in 2009 and I’m not sure when he sold it
New sub here
Thanks Double D
Hi Dave, My name es David, I'm from Costa Rica, and I just learned from your channel few days ago, as i've being following Andrew form some years now, and I a odd question to you, would it be a chance for a random guy to get in tough with u guys to go an work with u all? just for the experience, not like to be hired or so... i other words, O would love to go on a trip, get some days of from work and visit New York, were u guys live. just saying.
Regards Dave, great content.
I could of pulled that tree with my 24 horse sub compact. Big ol ship anchor.
Seems to be working toward the end ok.Probably just can't push it like Andrew would ,he'd put it thru Hell and then some.
It works on flat ground, sucks on a hill
Ask Jessie Muller if his John Deere 450b steering clutch still works. He did one side of his dozer. I know when they sit without being run, they do bind up. Poor design. That's why they went to the C series ( hydraulic clutch). Look forward to watching you do that clutch. I going to do one side on a straight JD 450 when the weather warms up.
Yeah I seen Jessie did the clutch in the 450b
hope you can fix it.
Can you do something about that governor cycling also?
When I pull the choke it stops. Probably just a quick adjustment.
You need to get out the welding torch and add a custom hydraulic brake to it. It will be a very good machine then.
I’m going to look at the brake pedal, but I think if I just pull back on the levers, it would stop
Call Clint from C and C equipment he probably has the answer you are looking for? he is another CZcams content creator!
Do you have any videos on that sweet Nova in the background?
I’ll be doing a video on that,
Given you have to tear apart the drivetrain, this would be waaay down your priority list but, should the engine surge like it does? I would think it should run more smooth/steady(?)
Run smooth when I pull the choke out so it’s probably just adjustment
Sounds like it needs carburetor cleaning, the float could be sticking?
The guy said he just rebuild a carburetor, but I’m not believing it
Jesse Muller (who has done work with Andrew) has a video from a 2-3 years ago doing the repair you need. Maybe you have worked with him too.
Even though it sucks that the guy wasn't honest, some excellent content will be coming up!
Andrew told him it was slipping before Dave bought it….I don’t understand who your saying wasn’t honest about the dozer?
@@davidsnyder2000 he did not buy this from Andrew
in the video, Dave mentions the guy told him he replaced the clutch and specifically said the steering clutches but later changed it to the engine clutch after purchase
Yeah I didn’t buy it from Andrew. He owned it along time ago
The engine sounds like it is loping a bit, wonder what is causing that? Grats on 10K subscribers.
Governor issue. Could be messed up or just be out of adjustment
@@jblazer147 yup its "hunting"
40 HP and 90ft.lb of torque!!!. little bit on the low side of power
Yeah like Andrew says, it’s a little too small to do bulldozer stuff
