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!

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

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

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).

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’.👏

[bobwollard]

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

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!

[artemiasalina]

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

[mmdias]

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.

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!

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.

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.

Keep us in the loop as Dozer grows and develops!

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

[jdw]

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

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

[mick]

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.

[tomfeldkamp]

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.

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.

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.
