So I have been reading a lot of posts and forums on the JD 1010, and it seems to get some mixed reviews. Those that have them, and they run seem to love them. Those who have them and they don't run, seem to HATE them. I have an opportunity to purchase one from a local auto salvage yard that they used until about 15 years ago when they got a new dozer and just parked this one. It has sat outside in the Pacific Northwest (100+ inches of rain a year,) weather since. It supposedly ran fine when they parked it. It has a flapper on the stack, but not a can to keep water out completely. Sounds like I could get it for just about scrap price from the guy, (about $200-$300 dollars.) What is anyone's thoughts on this? I have heard that parts are only available through JD dealers, and they are EXPENSIVE. I am very mechanically inclined, and capable of just about anything on my own, especially with a manual in front of me. It is supposedly fairly complete, has a 6 way hydraulic blade and a winch. Any thoughts at all would be great! Thanks guys.
