Success on the engine! Still need to sort out the glow plugs for a long term solution. I wish I had mentioned in the video, wiring the plugs in series was one of the first things I considered, but it's not possible to do. The plugs only have 1 connection for a wire, the second connection is the block. Think that through: How would you wire 2 of the plugs in series? There a few more things I need to do with it, and at some point I will probably tackle the steering clutches, but those are going to have to wait until a later date. And yes, I will check the compression again and post it in the next video on this machine. Thanks to everybody for your support! Have an awesome weekend folks!

[@MichaelMantion]

Wish you could colab with a channel to fix the steering.

[@Dirkxke]

There are inline resistors that can handle those watts. I use one on my '03 Mini to substitute for a failed resistor on the fan shroud. If you google for "High power resistors" you will come across them.

[@DoctorSherwood]

would try to find glow plugs from something else with the same thread that are made for 12v systems if i were you

[@steffendhonau]

You should be able to buy one of those heating elements to put in your machine. It is a common way to go on old tractors specially in Europe. When it's very cold you hold the glowplugs up to 3 minutes after the resistor is glowing red

[@Dirkxke]

@@DoctorSherwood He has 12V glow plugs, but he has to pre glow to long. The long glowing is melting the tips. That is why he was using a resistor, to lower the amps and the heat.

[@Gkuljian]

It starts, it stops, it doesn't smoke. How satisfying. I'm glad you took it on.

[@TheJoedirt6000]

any one who ever owned a motorcycle in the 70`s, owns a Impact Driver Set, works great on slotted screws. You need one !

[@robertmccully2792]

yea i have one from the 70s.

[@tallboy2234]

PREACH, Brother! 😀👍

[@user-yf1fe7ei7n]

Those were great tools

[@lawrencemercieca]

I have a bike from the 70’s and can guarantee I have an impact driver No way you can undo brake reservoir covers, stator bolts etc. without it I just use it on anything I can’t immediately get out now, saved me a lot of screws stripping

[@KenFullman]

I used to run a matchless 250 back in the 70s (even though the bike itself was made in the 50s) but I do have an impact driver that you hit with a hammer. I consider it one of my essential tools. I can't imagine a workshop that doesn't include such an item. Seems a no brainer to have one.

[@davemaccarter64]

You should be nominated for admission to the Do It Yourself Hall Of Fame. Very entertaining and instructive videos that you produce. Thanks, I never miss one and usually watch the WHOLE thing!

[@bobwollard9105]

John, when you made the timing adjustment and the smoking stopped, I was so very happy for you. Well done, brother.

[@engmcgill]

Jon, you need to add an inline fuse right next to the battery for that 12 V green wire that runs to the starter switch. Always ask yourself, "What would happen if this line I'm hooking straight to the battery were to short to ground somewhere?" The answer is "vehicle fire", and you already know what fun that is! Thanks for the great content (even without fires).

[@ronarant2897]

Yes, by all means add a fuse!

[@alanbrown397]

@@ronarant2897 AND a fusible link from the battery to the rest of the electrics, if one isn't already there. They're very cheap insurance

[@mmdias87]

Finally someone that follows through on projects and doesn’t just abandon them. Fantastic! I’d love to see it fully operational and useful and the steering clutches working but that would probably be asking too much.

[@Everly_teacher_of_Love306]

Always love the Seals images .

[@bill_p2074]

John, you can now go into business as a JD 1010 specialist! I really enjoyed this series. My uncle owned a John Deere dealership. He took in a 1010 on trade and built two ponds with it. It worked like a champ. I believe you will come to really enjoy this little lady!

[@artemiasalina1860]

This has been the most amazing "will it run" series I've ever seen!

[@eric_seguin]

Went back and watched this series again because I needed some therapy. That's what I call your videos, THERAPY. Take it as a compliment. I have a Fluke that I found in the trash. lol Not an electrician but it sure comes in handy. Bought some tools and included were some diesel tools. Need to figure where I put them and send them to you. I have done lots of diesel work but don't anymore. This was a great series and as usual lots of stuff that John Q. Public can absorb and use in everyday DIU maintenance. You are a very good teacher. Thanks for helping people understand.

[@Spearhead45]

green acres is the place to be, farm living is the life for me. land spreading out so far and wide, keep Manhattan and give me that country side

[@jts9807]

I must say, I really admire your patience and tenacity with this project - especially when it comes to removing and installing the same part/system multiple times.

[@crandell85]

The subject matter is secondary. The primary reason for viewing is your terrific analysis of a problem , your thoroughness in your explanations, your tenacity in the pursuit of your end goal and absolutely the best camera work with wonderful editing. My friend, ‘you are the man’.👏

[@maxnex7676]

I'm sure "Dora" was just waiting for someone to take care of her, she will eventually become a jewel. Great partial restoration series.

[@thardyryll]

Dora smokes, but she’s old enough to. As the owner of a fleet of aging equipment, including a 1970s Deere 500C, it is easy to see why old machines are scrapped. Jon (no h, folks) is dead right when he says they are constantly breaking, and there comes a time when even someone with a lot of time on his hands has better things - or far more things - to do than trying to keep a nearly dead thing alive. But it is hugely satisfying, not to mention highly educating, to watch someone else with my same struggles. I’ve watched many hours of other channels, but Jon’s approach, with new parts here, make the old ignition switch do there, is priceless advice. Which is why we eagerly await the next video, whatever the topic.

[@mick2383]

Hey John, Mick here. You need to get a device called "Shake & Break", it mounts to your air hammer. I will tell you it is AWESOME, gets all them tough screws loose with no stripping.

[@elesjuan]

Oooh yeah! I learned of this tool from mustie1 on KZbin working on removing the doors from an old veedub. Still haven’t procured one of those but would be an excellent alternative to the traditional manual impact screwdriver that you hit with, well, Jeremy Clarksons tool kit aka a hammer.

[@jdw2150]

This most excellent content gets the "seal" of approval! Awesome pupper ya got. We need more of him.

[@ericscott7335]

Great job, John. Congratulation on the new family member (dozer). He's a beaut!

[@tomfeldkamp4554]

Congratulations, Jon!! I hope you call this a major success. You took on all the challenges. Thanks for brining us along. This was a real education for me... and I'll never have to rebuild a dozer. The lessons for me have been the mechanical ones that you conquered (which were many and very interesting) plus the lessons of patience, continuous learning and remaining calm. Great job. Thanks.

[@gudfarfar]

You sure can perform miracles with those old machines, and having some knowledgeable patrons on board is a huge plus when it comes to tips and tricks and how to make it work right. Very good job!

[@user-hw8kc4rf9h]

The John Deere was 6 years old when I was in the Air Force working on aircraft. Safety wiring was A must and I did plenty of it. Of course, we used safety wire pliers which made the job a lot easier and faster. I enjoyed this whole series of videos.

Keep us in the loop as Dozer grows and develops!

[@tinydancer7426]

Your dedication, honesty, and profound care truly shine through in your videos. The passion you bring to both learning and teaching is immensely inspiring. Thank you for making such a significant difference.

[@markbeatson8379]

Maybe someone has suggested this already...I should look through the comments before commenting. If in doubt on the glow plug rated voltage, wire each pair of plugs in series, putting 12 volts across two plugs giving roughly 6 volts across each plug. Absolutely love your channel.

[@woodworker3122]

Great series on the John Deere 1010. I enjoyed watching every part of it. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment. I hope Pandora “Dora” can be repaired to function fully in the future.

Congratulations in overcoming the many technical SNAFU's with "tired iron". Back in the 60's I occasionally had the challenge of getting a JD crawler (1010 I believe?) started for periodic farm loafing yard shed straw-bedding removal. I enjoy watching and admiring your fault tracing and corrective restoration process.

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing with all of us 😊

[@uriahanderson1625]

Something I learned about glow plugs while owning an old Ford diesel. Not all glow plug manufacturers are equal. Someone in the Ford-truck forums tested different brands and found that most of the brands would burn out if they were powered for longer than 15 seconds. Only the Motorcraft brand could withstand continuous current.

[@tjhupp7519]

Watching you use the screwdriver made me think of some wisdom passed down from my dad. A wrench fits the handle of craftsman screwdrivers and will help out a ton.

[@davidhorton4611]

These series that you do on the D3, and now the loader have been my favorites.

[@gregorythomas333]

So Dora is pretty much an occasional smoker now...this is a very good thing! Congratulations!

You have done an awesome job getting Dora running as well as it is !

[@Bunk599]

Great job fun machine! For removing stubborn slotted and Philips screws the motorcycle mechanics favorite tool is the hammer blow impact screw driver. The hammer impact not only rotates the screw but also drives the bit into the screw head. I have not found anything nearly as effective.

[@gordonagent7037]

Great stuff John, you have to be happy with that result. It’s awesome that your Patrons and commentators can help you out so much aye, no use reinventing the wheel. Dora is now the explorer

Yay the seals 🦭are back 😂👍, nice job as usual . Yes the glycol is the coolant will always find all the little leaks, where straight water won’t leak through .

[@benfreeman9717]

It's interesting how a project such as an old dozer can be so entertaining. The dozer probably isn't as useful, powerful, comfortable, or valuable as more modern machines, but it's still fun to watch. Now I want to see what's up with the steering clutches, and I want to see how they work. Don't get too burned out on it though. It needs to be fun too.

[@dking9721]

Thanks for the videos. Good for you John. She fought you every step of the way, but you got her going.

[@philrodger6445]

Very cool to see the ole girl running and getting close to being able to do some work.

[@jimlangley840]

I'm so glad you listened to everyone that said, please fix it.

[@patricktansey4721]

Jon first congratulations on getting it going better. I have learned some lessons from you so let me return the favor. For the glow plugs: Each glow plug has is a resistor. They are connected in parallel, therefore your total amps going to all of the plugs is equally divided between each plug (as long as their resistance is equal). So with the 60A each plug is receiving 15A (60A/4 plugs=15A/plug. And if each plug is rated (12V*15A=180W) for 180 watts or more you are ok. Most things will either have an amps or wattage ratting. Your additional resistors (heatings coils) are also in parallel too. So one is all you would need. I have multiple old tractors that have an in dash display that has a similar heating element as an indicator for letting you know the plugs are warm. If you plan on permanently installing something that you have you need to utilize a crimp connection. A simple solution is to find a load resistor the blower fan in an older vehicle that can be picked up at any auto parts store. With one of those you will have, multiple combinations of resistance that you could choose from. I hope this helps yogi out and I look forward to seeing the clutch rebuild.

[@SwagmanMcGee]

Loved this series, watched the whole thing. Gotta be so gratifying to get the dozer running after all the troubles! I've never worked on anything bigger than an F-250, or anything hydraulic, so it's interesting to see the differences when you get to these construction machines.

[@joymarkdelatore251]

Nice job. You never quit learning. Has to be so rewarding.

[@MatsLofstrand]

Hi John, you could probably put a smaller resistor on each plug and divide the wiring into four separate wires, one for each plug. thank you for your videos, i enjoy them very much.

[@joelx77]

Amazing work getting the engine running so cleanly!

Jon. You are definitely “da man”. You have the patience of a saint.

[@malcelwell7209]

So pleased for you John ; you worked so hard Getting this to were it is now love it 💪👌🇬🇧

[@super6954]

Thanks for another update and glad you stuck with it this far. I was thinking after the last video that loader lift hose you changed and only put 1 swivel joint in isn't right because the one that was on the cylinder end needs to swivel freely when the ram lifts and lowers. You've got a very short hose with a sharp bend left or right rather than a progressive bend over a long hose like you'd have hitching an implement to a tractor. yes your new hose swivel on the bottom lets you screw the hose on and tighten it rigid , but over time the fixed cylinder end will twist the hose back and forth and either break the wires in the hose or loosen the crimp and it might start leaking again. Basically that old hose with the free moving swivel fitting on the ram end would stop that and that's why Deere originally fitted it. Take care

[@kennethjohnson4280]

John, Well done. One of the, if not the, best projects so far. Keep up the good work!

[@oldpup2182]

Great Job so far. It looks like it now runs much better than it has ever before on your channel.

[@THEBULLETPROOFGARAGE]

Great work, John! One recommendation - try a an impact screwdriver that you hit with a hammer. That would have gotten out that reluctant machine screw. Almost forgot -- I'd get rid of the PB Blaster and use Kroil or 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone. Scott

[@robertsprafke9376]

While recently trailering my case 580 ck backhoe, the back bucket boom chain came loose going around a corner and truck trailer and backhoe went through the road ditch and the backhoe and trailer ended up on their side. Not real fun for a 67 year old. After getting everything flipped back upright and home with major damage to everything the backhoe engine would start but not shut off. That little c clip was laying in the bottom of the injector pump, put it back on and shut off works again. Gravity go figure! Still dealing with straighten arm and cylinders though. I really like your channel! Thanks

[@davidbackman4442]

For stubborn screws wanting to cam out or strip, I've had good results from using a drill press to create good downward pressure while turning the screw. Not running the motor, only to create the axial load. then whatever wrench or plier that you have to turn the tool bit by hand.

[@stevebulach5198]

FYI We had an old Fordson Major that has a heat coil on the dash (Recessed in a little OEM cavity) that when it glowed red indicated sufficient use of the Glow plugs had been reached...... Also Just something I do. I add a smear of the Permatex Aviation gasket maker (I think you have some) to the outside rim of a seal before installation, also I the "O" ring if you couldn't replace.... It's good stuff so pretty much I use it on most gaskets where your not trying to fill a huge gap... It all helps when playing with Relics, cheers from Australia 😀👍

[@analog56x]

your videos on your excavator, or really, any of your videos inspired me to take on a huge excavator job. it would barely run, took forever to get to start, and wouldnt swing. i accepted the job, and got everything figured out. it starts like a brand new excavator now, but the swing is a whole other beast. the swing planetary assembly was bone dry (for who knows how long) and it turns out that it popped a planet gear retaining bolt and the bolt and washer bound up the gears. i tested the swing motor, and it was completely fine. functioned as it should. so i realized the problem was in the planetary assembly. had some guys come over and ask how long ive been doing heavy equipment repairs for, and i told them this was my first one haha :P they were blown away with what i had done so far, and that i found the problem so quickly. i have a very mechanical mind, so its not hard for me to look at something, and figure out how it works. but anyways, your videos inspired me to give it a shot. cheers John! also, massive props to your stubbornness haha :P pandora will be in tip top shape before long :) oh, btw, my first ever heavy duty job is on a 1987 komatsu PC200 excavator haha :P im thoroughly enjoying myself! got some machining and fabrication to do on the first planetary set, and after that, it should work like new again!

[@MrMidnight2236]

I as well as pretty much everyone else always gives you praise on how talented you are with the things you can fix ..... and how Engaging your videos are and such But what really doeant get enough credit is your Commitment to the seal joke ..( and the no torque wrench click ) Its like a family guy bit .... you take something that is just a little bit funny to begin with ... and then you play it out to where normally it wouldnt be funny anymore ....but then you keep going even further so much so that it becomes even more funny again . I love it

[@erniezimmer7187]

Take care of what you need to do sir, but IMO, redo the steering clutches too... THEN, if you don't need or have a use for this piece of equipment, then sell it to recoup your costs... You had great content because of it, we all learned a bunch (as did you), and you broke even or made a few bucks in the process... Win-Win all around. I was surprised you did not use one of those impact screwdrivers that others have mentioned.. I've had my HF impact screwdriver for 20+ years and they are a serious saver in my book. Looking forward to the next installment of your life on the farm... 🙂

I am a tinker but there is a reason why some people are experts. What we all need to do is learn, it is what makes our future.

[@joanofarc9996]

Best of my knowledge is that fuel advance causes easier starting and less smoke and less heat as there is less slow flame in the cylinder, in the head and out the exhaust. There is a limit to advance, mainly knock. Steering clutches are held together by springs and dry clutches (non oil bath) can stick. Providing you can feel the springs being depressed through the lever (otherwise it could simply be an adjustment problem or throw out bearing etc) I would drive everywhere with the LH clutch disengaged to a point before the brake is dragging, set, tie or chock the lever there at that disengaged position. The clutch will eventually disengage if it is not some other problem. The plates can unstick but do not force with brake let them wriggle loose. But hell great job !!!
