Thanks for the reply. I know a diode is sort of a one way valve for electricity. I have seen one used to prevent an alternator from backfeeding the coil after the ignition switch is turned off. Just not sure why it would be used to connect the L terminal to ground in this case. Maybe it is to shunt ...

I am replacing the wiring harness and noticed there is a diode on the back of the ignition switch between the “L” terminal and the switch case (ground).

Does anybody know why this diode would be there? Just want to be sure I am not hooking something up wrong.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Lavoy- could you send a pic of the adjuster you sell? Also- do you sell throw out bearings?

Thanks.

Does anyone sell the threaded steering adjuster for the 1010C or is it only available used?

The one I am referring to is located in the steering clutch housing and has a ball joint at each end.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions. The radiator shop told me it needs new tanks and a new core for about $1200.

If there are no replacements out there, what about adding stop leak? Any downsides to giving that a try?

I need a radiator- what are my options?

This is for a gasoline crawler, no reverser, s/n 34617.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for replying.

No reverser on this one.

I will try putting the hydraulic fluid in and see what happens.

It is a gasoline - forgot to mention that. I am also thinking get it running and assess condition before getting too far in the weeds. Not sure what I may be getting into with steering and hydraulics. The last time I saw it run several years ago I think the steering was working. I did notice yesterd...

I have a 1010C that I am trying to resurrect. It has been sitting under a shed for several years. I have not tried to run the engine yet, just checking everything out first. Today I did a compression test. I got low numbers on two cylinders, so I squirted oil in each cylinder and redid the test. I p...

I hadn’t thought of that!

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

The reason I asked about the ground was I can’t figure out how the sending unit will work without a ground connection since the tank seems to be isolated from the tractor frame by the rubber tank mounts.

Any thoughts on that?

I am trying to get the fuel gauge working on my 1010. I think there should be a ground from the sending unit to the tractor frame, but mine is missing. Can anyone send a picture of how the ground was originally installed?

Thanks.
