John Deere 1010 Need some help again fellas'

Bill1010c · Nov 1, 2014

Hello all, I need some help again from you guys. You helped a lot when I rebuilt my super h, and now I am on to another. Recently purchased a 1010 crawler and have a bunch of questions. First of all it is a diesel with a hydraulic 6 way blade. Starts, runs and moves great. The problem is the weep hole in the right clutch housing was plugged and I believe someone poured gear oil in the clutch housing and the clutches are slipping when you turn left. I basically want to know if I can fill the rear end up with gas and let it sit and then drain it to clean the fiber clutch shims. Second I was wondering, Would a 350 crawler under carriage fit under a 1010? If not what crawler under carriages would fit? Do any of you have rollers for the under carriage for this dozer you would want to sell? I will post pictures as usual for you guys to view later today. By the way thanks for the farmall super h info from before. She is all rebuilt with fire craters and fires right up like she would have before when she was new.

350 undercarriage will not fit. Parts off of
two-cylinder crawlers will. I just put some
420 rollers on my 1960 1010. The 420 tracks
will fit also but they usually have 2-bolt pads
instead of 4 bolt.

As to your steering clutch housings? Back in
the 60s at the first Deere dealership I worked
at - it was standard procedure to fill steering
clutch housings with lacquer thinner, run a
awhile and drain - to make slipping oil-soaked
clutches work better. Do I advise it? No. Can
it work? Yes. Will it wash the grease out of
the throw-out and pilot bearings? Maybe.

I had a 1010 crawler for many years. I had a similar problem with the right steering clutch. In order to fix it properly I opened the chain and remover the clutch/brake assembly. I soon discovered that the clutch pact steel discs were badly rusted and the fiber spacers were badly glazed and some cracked. The entire clutch pack was replaced on the advice of a very good local dealer as well as the bearing. He also loaned me the clutch pack height gage for adjusting the unit. At the same time the brake band was totally degreased with a product called "trichlor" which dissolved all the grease. This is no longer available to the general public Seals were also changed. You will be surprised at the wear that goes on inside those units. When back together it was like brand new. The same thing was done on the left side. Both drain holes were cleaned out as well. Since the rear end is vunerable to rain etc. make sure that you keep the machine under cover or a good tarp over it. You are lucky with the 6 way blade, I had to manually angle or tilt my blade. Then I graduated to a nearly new 350D hydraulic 6 way blade, one of the last made.

Where I worked we used trichlor by the 55 gal. drum.An excellent solvent,leaves no residue and evaporates in a flash.BUT-it's deadly!A known carcinagin and heavyer than air.If it's used in an enclosed area and you are in there with it you could be in big trouble!Just as well that it's not avaliable to the public.
