Next time I get a chance to work on the dozer I will be attempting to thaw out the fuel pump, and hopefully I’ll rectify this problem. Parts for this old dozer are hard to come by, and a new fuel pump is upwards of $900. That, and I’m really hoping that it’s just ice. There has been ice in just about every component that I have disassembled so far, so I have no reason not to think that. I suspect that there is ice in the pump from moisture in the old fuel. For one reason or another, the fuel pump is not delivering enough pressure for the engine to fire. So therein lies my problem with the fuel system. ![]() ![]() If the pump is working as it should, fuel should spray everywhere due to the pressure. However, with the fuel line (that goes to the injectors) off the pump, I tried to crank the engine. I cracked open the bleeder on the fuel pump and found that it’s nicely full of fuel. Unfortunately, this little dozer is still having fuel system problems. With them open, cranking the engine draws fuel up and purges the air in the system. I had tried turning it over with the fuel injectors cracked after replacing the fuel filters I’m supposed to bleed the air out of the system by cracking the injectors. Unfortunately, I still was unable to get it to fire. Less resistance because of a better connection equals more electricity to the starter motor. That makes sense, when you think about it. After replacing everything, the engine turns over wonderfully – much faster than it had previously. It was a little warmer out today, so that helped things go a little quicker – plus I knew what I was doing. Today I was able to replace the wire and reinstall everything. That sucker was iced in there bad, and with the loader arms on we had a heck of a time getting it out. A few days ago I had a friend come over (Thank you Brian!) and help me diagnose the electrical problem as a faulty wire to the starter. Where could that have come from? From the right front wheel, the clutch, or what?) I wonder if while I was gone last year and the tractor sat outside in the weather that rain got down into the clutch through the gear shifter resulting in a sticking clutch due to rust.Hey guys, just wanted to keep you updated on the progress for the John Deere 1010 dozer. (I did hear a loud pop once that I recall hearing a couple of times last time when I was using earplugs. Didn't have any more trouble with clutch this evening. When I got to end of first row, much to my surprise, clutch cooperated and allowed me to work between reverse, 2nd and 3rd gears to move forward and backward in order to mow a small area at the end of the ditch. I killed tractor, put it in 3rd gear and engaged PTO to shredder, restarted tractor and began mowing. ![]() But when I stopped and got off to open gate, the clutch was stuck again when I got back on. After second time of hitting tree and stalling out, clutch freed itself and I drove around front to mow ditch along road. Yes, clutch is sticking again when I first start it up and even after I hit the tree.
