Got it home yesterday, 250 miles one way and 3 blowouts on my trailer. took 2 spares with me, blowed the 3rd tire on the center axle about 1 mile from home. Just drove on home couldn't hurt anything. Unloaded today. Pulled carb it was full of water, so carb needs rebuilt. Hooked up a battery and cranked engine over, then I pulled spark plugs to run compression on each cylinder. NO COMPRESSION!!! Pulled valve cover, all intake valves were not closing, tapped on rocker arms, got the intakes to close. Poured oil on all rockers and valves, will run another compression test tomorrow hopefully I will have compression.
 
Glad you got home safe.

Neighbor had a JD 1010 crawler. He cleared a bunch of ground with it on his farm. It was funny. He would have to build a ramp on one side of a large tree and dig on the other. Then he would get on the ramp to be able to push the tree over. About once or twice each year he would not get backed away fast enough and the stump would catch under the back of the blade. It would raise the front of the JD 1010 crawler up enough he would not be able to back away. So he would come and get us to pull him off the stump with our tractors. A lot of those stumps he could not move after he got them out. He would burn then until he could push what was left.
 
I'm going to need to find a gas tank, has a home made one on it, also hydraulic pump bracket. Pump bracket is broken.

Check Ebay. Anything in the way of smaller parts I've needed I've found at a good price on Ebay. There is also Craigs List as a tool to use. Put a wanted ad in and see what turns up.

jdcrawlers dot com is an invaluable resource for older JD crawler owners.
