    John Deere 1010 R Gas-Water in Oil-Water Manifold Output

    So there are 2 of them for each cylinder? Or are there 2 styles? I hate to drop the pan without a propper shop. I had built a large enclosure with fence posts, EMT and cattle panels covered with 8 mil plastic and usd a zip wall for the door when I replaced the rod bearings. Eliminated the...

    John Deere 1010 R Gas-Water in Oil-Water Manifold Output

    That's getting close to half of what was paid for tractor...not including everything done afterwards. I'll do another search and fix if I reparing the the engine issue does not include a new sleeve. A new sleeve would mean...I mise well do the ...while I have the head off...and the...ect...

    John Deere 1010 R Gas-Water in Oil-Water Manifold Output

    Theres a couple of old tractor places not far from here but this radiator is different. I wonder if some one lost a bet years ago when designing this setup. Such a specialized radiator for what? Keeping the front end shorter by not using a thicker core if height couldn't be resolved with the...

    John Deere 1010 R Gas-Water in Oil-Water Manifold Output

    I used water to test for the leak/s. The one I did find was about the size of a ball point pen. The part that holds the ball. I suspect that gravity was not enough on what was likely a much smaller hole. A lot of crap came out of the cooling fins that probably been building up for...another...

    John Deere 1010 R Gas-Water in Oil-Water Manifold Output

    (Short version) The water manifold output. What the heck is this? Is it possible for the water manifold gasket to leak water into the oil? Or should I just prepare for the head gasket replacement? (Long version) Back in January...I noticed steam coming out of the valve cover breather tube...

    John Deere 1010 Wiring/Ignition Switch

    Well, Should anyone be curious how this turned out... I finished the the generator rebuild and it is performing great. I was perturbed that I had purchased a kit with a new armature, ($70 additional) but when trying to disassemble the old one...change the bearing...I quickly realized I made the...

    John Deere 1010 Wiring/Ignition Switch

    Finally... Time to install the rebuild kit I got for the generator. It has every thing. Even got a new armature. I'm just curious of the pole shoes. I did not mark them the last time I had taken this apart. But according to Remy-Delco, this should not matter. The manual states: After a generator...

    John Deere 1010 Wiring/Ignition Switch

    Yes. It had crossed my mind about multiple points of circuit protection. Anyways, I pulled the generator yesterday and first thing I did was a nose inspection and was surprised I didn't smell any thing...toasty. I had seen the inside before and It seems like not much had changed. I could not...

    John Deere 1010 Wiring/Ignition Switch

    How I dislike spanning projects over an extended period of time. So, the Generator "ran" strong as a motor "before" the wiring, starter, regulator...have I missed something?...burned up. Take it off "again' and see how bad, what I was "not" apparently wanting to consider. It only makes sense...

    John Deere 1010 Wiring/Ignition Switch

    What I have not been able to locate is a wiring schematic, for such a tractor from that era, using negative ground. I may just switch it back to stock when all I have to do is a few connection changes. ...I hate when I think, "All I have to do is... Never seems to be an accurate conclusion any...

    John Deere 1010 Wiring/Ignition Switch

    It is a diode. Its connection to the switch case is...iffy at best. I imagine when driving it around on our non-smooth/paved pastures it makes contact...then doesn't make contact. I'm not sure what the "F' terminal is for. Anyways, I went out last night and did the connection change. And it...

    John Deere 1010 Wiring/Ignition Switch

    I forgot to include that I polarize the generator from Battery Positive to "A". The generator runs strong as a motor and...I think there's something else I am forgetting... ..It doesn't have blinkers, so it wouldn't be the blinker fluid...
