    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    I couldn't be at the auction and was told it wouldn't start... Seemed strange to me but sure enough I go to pick it up and it won't spin over fast enough to start. I tried jumping it but no difference. So I take the lid off the battery box and the positive wire from the second battery is...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    The auctioneer called me yesterday and said they couldn't get it started to move it. Its been colder than normal here; down in the teens and not getting much above freezing during the day. So I grabbed a truck load of tools and headed an hour away to the auction site. The new fuel filter I...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    Well I took my 310 to an auction this past saturday, but the auction isn't until feb 21st. On the way to drop it off I helped a friend "retrieve" his first backhoe. Its an old International that was burried back in the woods. Needless to say we had some fun getting it back to his house, and I...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    There is certainly the pride of ownership aspect that I usually run into about this time during a rebuild. I get the notion that I ought to keep it and use it to earn some extra income on the side or just because I can't think of one good reason why I don't need a 7 ton machine in my driveway...

    Online shopping for Deere parts?

    I drive right past my Deere dealer everyday on my way to work. They are great people and always have the right parts. That said I've been very happy with reliableaftermarketparts.com for the majority of my part needs. Their service is great, I even had a gauge I ordered come to me that was...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    I had a string of warm days so I painted mine... it took forever. I've still got to paint the wheels and do some black paint work around the cab. I ordered decals from the associated graphix and they look great, shipped fast, and a great price. I was going to post pics of my freshly yellow'd...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    Deon I've read through most of your post pretaining to your 310d, and must say you have done an excellent job throughout the restoration. Sadly for my machine I've decided it will never look new again... I'd be afraid to use it if it looked as nice as yours. Oh and you missed a spot on the...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    Its just time consuming to do it right. The prep work makes the paint job and the prep work on the other things I've painted has been less time consuming. The factory paint has proved to be pretty durable but as seen in the top post pics its missing and chipped in the usual places. Painting...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    Well this machine turned out to be in pretty good shape and I didn't run into anything extordinary to really post about. I rebuilt some more of the cylinders since my last post and made a couple new pins on the lathe, but haven't really been "inside" anything other than the electrical stuff...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    Im getting closer to finished and am stuck on the fuel gauge. Wires are good from tank to sender, and there is about 60 ohm accross the sender with the tank 3/4 full. The gauge just reads empty. Anyone know what the resistance is supposed to be accross the sender?

    New Cat 416 tools and impact size?

    I had a time getting the nuts and bolts off the ends of my cylinder rods my Deere 310D with my 3/4" and 1" impact. I ended up taking the rod to a shop and helped him struggle to get them off with his 1" impact, but he managed to get them off. His line air was turned up to 180psi, and mine is...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    I took the four rods to my friendly Bobcat dealer and he kindly spun the nuts off for me no charge. We still had quite a struggle even with his 1" impact and 180psi shop air. I put the seal kits in Saturday morning while the family attended the farmer's market. The kits I ordered didn't have...

    right 19 years old. I thought about heat but I didn't want to melt the nylon lock ring out of the nut... Maybe I'll try some heat on the stabilizer cylinders this weekend. Dave

    I ordered all new filters from NAPA during their filter sale last week... that's a pretty good deal at 60% off. I decided to rebuild the one loader boom cylinder that was leaking and the tilt cylinder that was leaking this weekend with the help of my 7 year old. Getting the rod guide out was...

    Haven't done much to the backhoe lately but I had a few hours this weekend to wrench... I pulled the exhuast manifold off, replaced the number 1 injector line that was leaking at the injector, I had to reform some of the bends so that it wasn't in a bind againsts the # 2 line and so that it...

    John Deere 310D refurbish thread

    It usually is or I haven't lost money yet. You can't start with just any machine and you have to get it at a good price too. This machine was in use when I bought it and is in good useable condition as is. But i'm going through it and fixing all the stuff that most of us if it was our machine...
