Another vote for autopsy

I have some experience, I started working for John Deere in 1974 and there were a lot of the 2010 and a few of the 1010 tractors still around then. My advice is to start from scratch and recheck your timing. Pull your valve cover and make sure it’s on tdc #1 cylinder. Then install your pump. The way it whistles when you crank it tells me it has enough compression to at least fire. Also don’t use ether after warming up the glow plugs, the resulting boom can break the compression rings. Another thing, don’t attempt to adjust the timing with the engine running. If the pump drive shaft binds in the housing it will spin the pump tearing all injection lines off. Only saw it happen once, it was not pretty, the man’s hand was grabbed by the lines and badly injured. The 1010 and 2010s were John Deere’s first attempt to build a four cylinder engine after the two cylinder tractors they were famous for. They did not have everything figured out yet.

Agree, also I'd check the valve clearence while you have the valve cover off. Given how long it sat, and the amount of rust you found in the fuel pump, there's probably some rust on the rocker arms/valve stems that'll cause the valves to bind up and not close completely.

Do what you think best. In 1998 I bought a Farmall B tractor that had been sitting by a gas station, on my way to work, for years. It was rough and I paid too much. My friend brought it home on his trailer and told me to get on and steer while he unloaded it. He said it would be the last time I get to ride it. 2 years later, I got it disassembled into very small pieces. Every nut and bolt on it was rusted solid. After rebuilding the engine including welding the cracked block. unsticking the engine, replacing two cracked sleeves with replacements donated by a friend, repairing the diff, trans, clutch, steering, and tires, I drove it out of the blacksmith shop and off to the Memorial Day Parade. My son and I did all the work except for the machining and valve job at Arnold's Auto Parts in Coldwater. I invested about $700 and drove it for about 10 years before it dumped the water into the oil pan. I sold it for $200.00 or about $0.10 per hour of labor. This was long before KZread and I had hopes of using it to generate the price of a Ford 8N. Did it pay off? I think so. It plowed and planted. I drove it in every parade I could. It pulled kids and parents on hay rides. Helped mow 32 acres with a sickle bar mower. Took my Mom for her last ride around her farm before she passed. The best was having my 12 year old son work on it with me. I later bought the 8N I wanted and kept the Farmall B. My son drove it a few times and we learned a lot. Would I do the same on your crawler? Probably if I was your age. I'm 72 now. We sold the farm and moved to a smaller house with a 1/2 acre lot in town. Not much room to turn the crawler. The 8N is too big but I'm keeping it anyway. Good luck and have fun no matter what. 😁😎

Yes I second that, time for a rebuild.

I would do what Scott Wood said below. Set the injector pump timing correctly. Put the 10cc of oil back in the cylinders to help seal the rings to give the best chance of starting. Put a heat gun/hair dryer in the intake and blow hot air in the cylinders. John I believe it will start. Also you could 24 volt it to make it spin faster. This will create more compression. You only need to get it running once and the valves and rings will then seal better. Good luck. Don't give up. Everyone wants to see it run without a rebuild. Remember injector pump timing is critical. Also replace the two non working glow plugs. Cheers Stew.

I would say clean the injectors ,see if there spraying fuel . The cylinders are dry ,and the rings also . Compression will be low on any engine that sat for a long time . Get some fuel spray in the cylinder may get it running. If you get it fired up there will be an improvement in Compression.

Farmcraft 101 is my favourite channel on KZread without question. Jon, thanks for taking us along for the ride with you! We appreciate your sacrifice of time and grief when things don't go according to plan. Would love to see you dig into this motor, especially given the comment from the former Deer employee who mentioned that this was their first 4 cylinder and things weren't quite worked out yet at the time.

It's reassuring to see that crap can go sideways to anyone. You just keep working away until you get your next answer, then figure out the next step. The issues you had with the thread pitch are so very real! It's super frustrating when you have to cobble together a dozen pieces and and every step of the way something goes sideways. I commend you for keeping your cool (or doing such a great job editing out the meltdowns at least!) Sometimes when things keep going sideways, I question myself. Seeing these familiar challenges happen to someone else reassures me that it's just part of the process sometimes, and you just can't work with more tools than you have. Thanks for sharing!

I would put a bit of oil in the cylinders again, get all four glow plugs working, clean the injectors and try to fire it up. If you can get it running that way, maybe the compression comes back up. As you said, it could be stuck piston rings. And even if they are not all stuck, if they are rusty they won't seal well but they might polish up from running a while. I'd say its at least worth a shot. BTW great job on the injection pump. I liked the trick you did with the air hammer to get the ball thingy off in the first part.

I agree. These things can be easily done top side. Unfortunately it’s winter so the oil won’t penetrate as well. But a tarp over with a heater in it for a while…or get a fire going and heat up some bowling ball sized rocks for 2-3 hours. Use a shovel to place the rocks under the crank case. Tarp over it for a day. I’ve seen it done, and nothing says redneck engineering like using a fire pit. lol

Your ability to pull stuff apart and clean up the bad, replace the worst, and bring things back to life is not only amazing, but inspiring. Even if it’s toast, I for one would learn from the process. Heck, it’s scrap already anyway. Can’t make it worse. I say go for it!

I was a heavy equip operator for several years and those fuel pumps were always a source of mystery to me. Everyone always warned me not to mess with them and how hard it was to work on them. Needless to say I'm thrilled that you decided to fix it yourself and give me a bit of an education on them all these years later. You removed a lot of the "mystery" for me. I'm not sure what sort of value that little loader might have if it were in good operating condition but it would be interesting to see it run and do a little work. And pulling the top off will generate content that I'm sure several would like to see. Good luck with it w/e you decide to do. BTW I once rolled a Cat 955 track loader due to a shift linkage failure while pushing a tree over. That got pretty exciting for a few minutes.

Jon - much as I'd love to see a rebuild (loving this machine) I think a few comments above are on the right track. This seems like stuck rings to me, especially if there was enough moisture around to get so much rust on that pump shaft inside the crankcase. Before your rebuilt it, my suggestion would be let the cylinders sit with some ATF in them for a few days or even weeks to see if it can free them up some. The wet test improves each cylinder differently probably because the cylinders have a slight amount of taper to them; the rings will be even less sealed in the pistons that were near the top, if any. A little Evaporust onion the ATF might also help. Then I'd drain the oil and change it before trying to fire it again. The suggestion above to clean the injectors is also a good one. Also, if you can get your borescope in there you can at least gauge the amount of rust and possibly eliminate cylinder wall damage. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some scoring in an engine that tired but it might not preclude you from getting it running "well enough." Bearing in mind you can do all this for nearly free. If you can get it running as-is for even just ten minutes, those rings will likely start to come around and after a few hours of operation might be just fine for the amount of use you have planned. Also, don't use glow plugs and ether -- big boom, cracked ring land, no bueno. If that stuff won't get it running, then a teardown would be a blast to watch. If you haven't watched Squatch253, his videos prove that there's no reason you can't get this back to showroom -- but for your purposes, a FarmCraft rebuild would probably be plenty. Good luck!!

If it's not cost prohibitive, I would love to see you rebuild it! But naturally I'd understand that if it's too much to save, then it is what it is. Love the videos man!

Gotta say.......for 1960's technology, that's a pretty complex design. The engineering of it all is impressive.

Some thoughts... the crankcase is probably thinned out with diesel contributing to lower compression plus the rings being a bit stuck from sitting for years. I think I would try an oil change and shooting some 20w50 in each cylinder and try to get it to fire-up.

I vote rebuild. I’m learning so much. Thank you!

Thanks for showing that things don't always go easy or the way you want. So many others don't show any problems, and after a bit of tinkering they fire right up. So again, thank you for honest content.

So impressed that after assembly of a complex device like a fuel pump, you didn’t have any parts left over. You really have your organizational act together!!! Please do the autopsy. You are a great teacher! Thanks.

The piston rings could be stuck. If the engine is warned up they could release and seal better.

The next easiest thing would be pulling the valve cover and checking those. When you had your Boroscope, and could see into the Valve train the rust on those valves could stop them from making a good seal. I have experienced that exact issue a myriad of times. Try pouring tranny fluid in each cylinder, then starting (without blowing out the excess? If you could just get it to start for five minutes, I think that old girl would be OK.

40:47, I think, with how long the cylinders sat, they were dry, they need to have a film of oil for the piston to seal against the bores

There are plenty of channels with licensed diesel techs it's the DIY approach that we are looking for. One of those guys would have just reached into their $10,000 tool box and grabbed the manufactured fitting from their $2000 box set of testing equipment, that's not why I have been a subscriber to your channel all these years. Watching you fab up a fix is why I check for your new content every week. Plus winter is coming your going to need a good INDOOR project anyways,right?

On the fuel injector pump drive shaft there are 2 cupped o ring s. The top one is cupped upwards an the bottom one is cupped downward s. Sometimes if top o ring is warn out or damaged fuel can leak by an enter the crankcase . Thus motor oil thins out an over fills ; showing high level on dip stick . There is a shim sleeve to ad in installing pump that once cupped o ring is started correctly you remove shim sleeve . An of corse the bottom cupped o ring keeps crankcase oil from getting in injector pump . With rotation of shaft oil will climb . Great video an really enjoy all you’re projects. Thanks!!

I really admire you to take time and figure out how things work. I grew up in construction where it was always 'git-r-done', so I always had a mechanic to come in and fix something. Wish I had of learned more.

Dont give up John. I think you have a gold mine of content here. I really was impressed by the pump rebuild. Love the channel!!

I'd recommend one of two options for you at this point. Autopsy the engine, see if it's just stuck rings, which I suspect from just how quickly the oil seemed to drain down, and rebuild it. Or, there was a Detroit Diesel (2-53, I believe) that is to my knowledge a bolt in replacement for those, you just need to get one out of a Deere 440 crawler. Parts aren't horrible to get for those 1010s (or at least not my gaser 1010, I've never looked into diesel parts), so I'd say unless the cylinder plate is shot it shouldn't be to hard or expensive to rebuild it.

Hi John, My FIL had an old tractor that no one could start when he went to pick it up. Everyone who had tried to start it had used starting fluid. When it wouldn't start for him, he used WD40 and low and behold, it started. He conjectured that everyone had used starting fluid and washed the oil off the walls of the cylinders and when he tried the WD40 (it had propane propellant at that time) it sealed the rings and got enough compression to start. Used it for a lot of years without an engine rebuild after that. Good Luck

back to back videos... I can dig it!

Ya did good with the pump rebuild, so hate to see things stop now! My thoughts: 1. Clean and test the injectors (if you have the means) 2. Borescope the cyls, I think several commenters were asking for that too! 3. Drop more oil into the cyls to get the compression back up, then hose it down with ether and/or heat gun and/or torch in the intake until it starts. If it will run with "assistance" for a few minutes the rings may unstick (if that indeed is part of the issue). Not like you have much to lose at this point, so no need to be too worried about engine damage from ether - it almost certainly needs a rebuild. And according to the other comments, this engine is probably not worth the $$ investment to rebuild. Worst case, it makes for a good video (I think anyway). New subscriber, enjoyed this series! Good luck!

You've got the patience, though not necessarily the language, of a saint.

I would love to see the inside of this engine. Bring it back to life for us!

Props for tackling the injection pump. I worked at a diesel injection pump repair and calibration shop in the 80's and they can be tricky even with a test stand. You could pull the injectors again and install them on the injection lines outside the engine, like an in-field test stand. Might give you an indication of the condition of the injectors. But I agree with previous comments regarding getting the motor running which could free the rings and get the compression up before making a decision on a tear down. Great job, love the content.

I would do a price and availability on parts if not too expensive do an autopsy and see if it’s parts or fixable. You have the talent to do it 😊😊

Pulling the engine would give your channel great content. I think most male viewers like to see engines saved from scrap, and live to run again. Good luck with what ever you decide.

Jim's tip of the day....trying to start clapped out diesels like that, use spray grease down the inlet as it will build the compression enough to start plus light solvent to ignite. Could be fun!

Hi John! Go for it please. I would love to see Part 3 or even 4. Greg from Sweden 😊

Very funny! More smoke from the starter than from the exhaust!!!😅 Love this series.

The injector pump rebuild and work on the lathe were both fascinating. Great videos.

You could try 24V on the starter and see if some more RPMs will get her to go. You really don't have much to lose. The big problem with these machines, which I'm sure you know, is they just aren't worth much, even in perfect condition.

I'd say try and fix it, way more interesting than just scrapping it. Also, I have been able to get engines with low compression running by pouring oil in and trying to start. I say that is worth a shot, maybe all the rings are just stuck from sitting and running the engine will free them up.

Go for a rebuild, love to watch part 3 through 20.

Spark plugs! Turn it into a gas burner. Heck, it has enough compression for high octane even if cetane won't work. And thanks for publishing Part 2 like you promised. I was looking forward to it and you did not disappoint.

I’m constantly amazed to see all the people who use starting fluid on old engines!!! USE WD-40 instead, it’s about 70% baby oil and makes for a safer alternative than starting fluid. The oil seals your combustion chamber and the aromatics fire it right up.

I am always amazed at your broad skills. You truly are a renaissance man. I would love to at least see an autopsy to see where the problem is and would love it if you could find the parts and bring it back to life. It’s always a joy and learning experience to watch your videos.

Put the camera down the cylinders. If the walls look ok you should try wd40 or mystery oil and see if the rings are clogged. If that doesn't help, pull the engine off it. Great content either way!

Great job rebuilding that pump, Jon! I would try to clean the injectors in an ultrasonic cleaner. Then re-check the timing and let out the excess oil. Then try to start it. Of course, after that, autopsy and rebuild maybe.

Don't give up! Pressure pump was full of dirt -> stuck injectors. So check injectors. Pour some diesel/ATF/oil mixture to cylinders and let it sit there and do the magic. Change all glow plugs.

Totally enjoyable watching you work Jon. Suggestion - you didn't test the injectors in any way so remove them to make the engine spin over easily. Then contrive to connect a injector to a injector pipe in open air. Spin the engine and observe the nozzle spray pattern (if any) once the fuel is ejected. (Keep eyes well away just in case) Hot air near the intake manifold will help - plumbers blowtorch or similar will do. Cheers Jon

Loved crawlers as a child in the 50s. I would be interested in seeing every part on it.

A few years back I was rebuilding a B-275 international. I resleeved it and installed new pistons, bearings etc. I took the head to a shop and had it magnifluxed and found it had some cracks. They repaired the head and when I went to pick it up they were just working on the injectors. They had a rig they could hook up each injector and with a single stroke hand pump they were setting the blow pressure after cleaning them. You would not believe the difference in the spray after cleaning! From a small piddle of fuel to a fine fog. Was a beautiful thing to see. We are all waiting holding our breath to see what it looks like inside after you pull the head. Just have to weigh the cost and it's use when done if you rebuild it or not. I would love to see you fix it up and I am sure when you would get it done it would be a well working little rig that would serve you for years to come.

At least your auto lawn mower is working. It's winter and looks like you have an indoor job.

Amazing all the way! The lathe work -- unbelievable! The welding, the forensic methodology, everything! Amazing John!

100% autopsy... pull the head and do a diagnostic... I'd LOVE to see a rebuild, now that the time was spend on the pump... seems you are close to just nail this, and albeit there might be many more hours spend, it sure provides for great content... and I'm suckin it up tbh 🙂

Don't stop. You're doing an amazing good job at entertaining us.

No experience to help you out, but your in-depth explanations are very helpful for the non-diesel mechanic.
