I have seen you guys use your equipment just the way they were designed and built to be used. I’ve watched as you maintain your equipment with regular oil and filter changes, brakes replaced, hydraulic leaks fixed, tires changed, engines rebuilt but not once do I recall seeing you guys abuse equipment. Apparently those who think you do abuse your equipment know very little about farming or equipment. Great content as always and love the channel.
I think you guys take pretty darn good care of your equipment. With the size of the operation and the maintenance you have its pretty impressive really. People just don't understand farming on the level that you guys are at. Break downs are just part of it. They're watching MF and think thats how farming really is. Honestly half of the problems you guys have are manufacturer defects and you're stuck fixing those along with the normal struggles. Side note: Andy you really remind me of my grandfather in your driven work ethic and problem solving. Even the way you kind of toss the tools down on the ground when you're finished using them. It's a great reminder to me how much I cherish the things I learned from him and memories I have working together. Your kids are very fortunate to have such a good example to strive towards
Love seeing you fix the equipment although I would say that u don't abuse your equipment obviously stuff is gonna break thats just how it is great video as always Andy keep up the great work
I saw that fuel dripping when you were cranking. I was going to text you, but I figured it was too late you probably already knew. Nice job with the whole thing Andy. Awesome video.
Thanks for talking us through this repair. All those connections between the wire and the pins would suffer with all shock and vibration in ag service. The car’s and trucks I work on never get worked that hard.
Just a note, Cat makes a copper based anti- seize that works real good on bolts subject to heat, does not dry out like the silver stuff. It will be nice to get your good tractor back to feed with. Sounds a lot better too that that morning feeding.
FelPro C5A copper anti seize has been around a long time. Used for steam turbine bolting and it does well. Loctite also makes a copper never seize although I have yet to try it out. Check Grainger.
Feed mixers are one of the hardest job on a tractor they run 6 to 8 hours a day in dusty wet conditions to feed in all weather run mixer on kabouta and newholland the tractor where under size for the job when they got the biggest lucknow mixer u could buy at the time twin screw mixers to start the mixer the kabouta u put ur foot to the floor through the pto in gear to start loaded on a tractor with 30,000 hour turned up to 110 hp the newholland tm 120 was around 125 hp with soft start it take almost all she had to start it with 18,000 lb loads it had 20,000 ish on it when i left there the son didn't believe in changing oil if u where lucky once a year was luky on any tractor id make to plugs fall out i toke care of my out fits that i run u could pull air filter and have corn growing in the fillters
You certainly have taken advantage of a mild-so-far winter to get some of those big repair projects out of the way in preparation for an incident-free growing//harvest season. Here's hoping that all that mechanic work pays you dividends when the weather breaks. I sure enjoy the show.
Well, Andy ,the old story you can't beat taking a hammer to things .Great video. Keep them coming and keep the abuse up!!!!!!.....there are some silly people saying you abuse the equipment, l think it's called "working the equipment" not abusing it.
I dunno about these John Deere's we started out with 1 40 series and 2 50 series back in the day and 2 of them we had to do engine rebuilds. We currently have 7 New Holland's and we've never touched an engine. Don't get me wrong I still like the green ones, we still have a 3350 which came out of work with over 17000 hours on it and it still runs like a top.
I love how there are so many bad mouthing the dealer replacing sensors. Have you ever tried to diagnose an intermittent fault? If the fault is not actively failing, the only thing you can do is to replace the most likely component.
Andy if u put the air intake for your air compressor outside it will cut the noise maybe in half.both of mine pull air from outside. Air cleaners and all cold does not affect them .just make sure rain can’t get to them with a shield of some kind .
Another great job by Andy and company.I think that the guy who suggested the helicoil had a great idea.Have you seen Ivan on Pine Hollow Automotive Diagnostics?He’s very good at diagnosing intermittent electrical problems .
Hi Andy ! Good job Andy ! you do not abuse , you get the job done whit that equipement . Thanks Andy for your time and everybody have a good day at the farm ! 🙋♂️
Great work. Just thougts - what if use Copper grease for studs and botls on hot pleaces? Or maybe not allowed by manupactured for correct torq or something else..
glad it was only a loose fuel line when i first read the title i was thinking the wire harness was screwed up from the factory (seen it happen) or deeper than that from the harness being bad for so long (seen that happen too)
Now case IH on the other hand has always been made in the usa even its parts and paint. Other states may make the parts but ih is still in Wisconsin between racine and pleasant prairie. How do i know. I used to be a truck driver for 22 yrs. I used to haul there parts
Thank you again for sharing. Hammer and punch? Is that the new John Dreere fix all? From baling wire and nails. Lol. I have never seen you abuse none of your equipment Andy. I dont think you would mistreat noithing that you couldn't fix your self!
Is it expensive because it's John D, and all that crap on the engine, gone the good days when things seemed sampler, great video, Paul South West France
Ib had to so similar repsirs on broken shit. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. iv done a few ford exhaut mainitold jobs.i start wirh torch and cit them off.of course extracting thrn is easier being they go into aluminum and weld doesn't stick to head. Iv found using a bolt to weld onto whatever im getting out works better than a nut. Its hard to get penetration into broken bolt through the nut. Worh a bolt you can get on all sides.
I'm no idiot, but what is so special about these 20 some dollar bolts. Kinda wonder if there is something cheaper. Example cat bolts vs case/ih bolts for heads . Cat are half price and just as good.
Andy, you guys take better care of your equipment with the exception of washing it down, than most. But the phrase God made dirt dirt don't hurt comes to mind. In any case about this tractor you're having issues with any thoughts of trading it off for something else?
Andy, you may not believe this but I was watching a video about large dairy farms in the U, S, , at this one dairy when they loaded it with 6 round bails they left the plastic and ground it with the bails, I'm not blowing smoke up your butt. I rewound the tape and asked my wife if I was seeing things and she said I was not, have you ever heard of that
Andy you’re a big boy cranking those studs down way too tight & stretching them out. When they heat up, they’ll soften & loose strength. Torque is calculated on a combination of metal grade, size and thread pitch. Just for reference, a 3/8” grd8 stud takes 37lbs torque max. and a 7/16” grd8 stud takes 58lbs max. You’re the hardest working guy out there. Stay safe and don’t do wheelies on your E-bikes anymore 🫶
I have seen you guys use your equipment just the way they were designed and built to be used.

Andy, i have never seen you or your crew abuse any equipment. On a large farm like yours it gets used, not abused!! Keep up the great work!!
No you don’t you use it and you keep them up runining and maintained great thanks for sharing it showing it great be safe you guys thanks again Andy
I was kinda holding my breath when you were tightening that welded stud, good job. 👍
Me three!!!!
I know u guys and Gals use your equipment hard but u guys are always taking care of your equipment good maintenance
Mr. Andy you would make one hell of a teacher (Ag teacher)
Andy, you’re a helleva mechanic. Good job

Thanks for talking us through this repair. All those connections between the wire and the pins would suffer with all shock and vibration in ag service. The car’s and trucks I work on never get worked that hard.
Its amazing how much a wire harness cost. It's always good to take picture s, mark, or even use colored wires used to indicate were each plug goes.
You are very skilled and knowledgeable. I love watching you work. Thank you for your honesty when you commentate. Great content as always

That anti seize is a terrible product,,you can't beat good ol multi purpose grease,,
👍..but CAT doesn't make antiseize, Boots,or filter's or lot's of other things
FelPro C5A copper anti seize has been around a long time. Used for steam turbine bolting and it does well. Loctite also makes a copper never seize although I have yet to try it out. Check Grainger.
@@paulwalker9921 👍yup..right on 👊
Nice job Andy on the tractor looks great and I know it was tedious but you made out great
Excellent work Andy. Our heavenly father has given you a gift. Have a great day.

Andy not abused just well used thats what its made for
Most of the time I don't know what the he'll you are doing BUT I ❤ watching good men working hard👍🚜

You probably just had bad luck
Andy has the best farming channel on YT
JD really are proud of there parts lol good job.
Sometimes it is amazing what you tackle and do. You do good extensive work. Thank you for sharing.
I love how there are so many bad mouthing the dealer replacing sensors.
Have you ever tried to diagnose an intermittent fault? If the fault is not actively failing, the only thing you can do is to replace the most likely component.
Intermittent electrical problems be like chasing smoke.
Andy if u put the air intake for your air compressor outside it will cut the noise maybe in half.both of mine pull air from outside. Air cleaners and all cold does not affect them .just make sure rain can’t get to them with a shield of some kind .
Congratulations , a job well done , what special talent is shown , stay safe , enjoy !
Great repair Andy !!!
Great video Andy.
Another great job by Andy and company.I think that the guy who suggested the helicoil had a great idea.Have you seen Ivan on Pine Hollow Automotive Diagnostics?He’s very good at diagnosing intermittent electrical problems .
Nice job Andy
Hi Andy !
Good job Andy !
you do not abuse , you get the job done whit that equipement .
Thanks Andy for your time and everybody have a good day at the farm ! 🙋♂️
Great video. Kristen is going to be a great mechanic. Great attitude and soaking it all in.
That was a hell of a project
It's times like this when wish I was there to get those broken bolts out. I'm a retired machinist and I've done many of these repairs.
Great work. Just thougts - what if use Copper grease for studs and botls on hot pleaces? Or maybe not allowed by manupactured for correct torq or something else..
transmission fluid an acetone on those manifold bolts keep wet for 2 days warm them up they will undo
The way I look at it you guys run your tractor to the fullest potential.
Glad to see that stud/weld worked out for ya. Good Job Andy.
The 750 Deere dozers have the same engine and breaks the same bolt on the exhaust have had 4 dozers do it within a few weeks
glad it was only a loose fuel line when i first read the title i was thinking the wire harness was screwed up from the factory (seen it happen) or deeper than that from the harness being bad for so long (seen that happen too)
You should rotate that clamp about ten degrees. Put the pressure point of where the t bolt is in the clamp over the dimpled spot in the pipe.
Now case IH on the other hand has always been made in the usa even its parts and paint. Other states may make the parts but ih is still in Wisconsin between racine and pleasant prairie. How do i know. I used to be a truck driver for 22 yrs. I used to haul there parts
Money will spent Andy. Keep up the awesome work you do with your family and crew
I enjoyed your shop show and I'll catch ya on the next one 😊
Another great video, fun to watch. But ok, is it me or does Andy sound exactly like Adam Carolla?
Thank you again for sharing. Hammer and punch? Is that the new John Dreere fix all? From baling wire and nails. Lol. I have never seen you abuse none of your equipment Andy. I dont think you would mistreat noithing that you couldn't fix your self!
Always love your videos. Farmin. Florida Joe
Is it expensive because it's John D, and all that crap on the engine, gone the good days when things seemed sampler, great video, Paul South West France
That tractor looks really good for 12000 hours
GOOD JOB ANDY I have welded studs in before it will hold 😊😊😊
Good job, I learn so much from your videos , I have a 6150r with 13000hrs same engine less a turbo I think. Did that 7200r have twin turbo?
Yes
I was always told if you don't use it, it won't break.
Ib had to so similar repsirs on broken shit. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. iv done a few ford exhaut mainitold jobs.i start wirh torch and cit them off.of course extracting thrn is easier being they go into aluminum and weld doesn't stick to head. Iv found using a bolt to weld onto whatever im getting out works better than a nut. Its hard to get penetration into broken bolt through the nut. Worh a bolt you can get on all sides.
Great job on the wiring harness
When you load in your repair costs into your maintenance record program, do you include something to account for the labor involved or just the parts?
Good Job Andy Thanks for the video's 🐄🚜🌽🇺🇲👍
Any chance that broken stud could have caused the code?
Nice work Andy. Help that hammer handy
You use a small copper pipe over the stud and run the mig inside the pipe best of luck
Great repair job
Wash it 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ THAT IS ABUSIVE ANDY !! 11600 hrs no care at all !! 😂😂😂. Thanks sir.
And don't forget your labor that makes it about six thousand!!! Have a easy week Andy!!I
Ps Stop using your equipment so much.
Thanks
Congratulations 🎉another excellent achievement
Amazing. Thanks
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO ANDY 😊
So glad you didn't weld the manifold elbow
The silver anti-seize is not as effective as the copper type.
Hey Andy, sometimes you never know until you try. It's a tractor, not the Bat or Pope mobile! DO what you do best.
How much sleep do you get each night
Great repairs 👍🏻🇺🇲
Great job
Awesome video thanks Andy nice job 👍🚜🚜🚜🚜
If you didn't abuse your equipment you wouldn't have good content to video. So keep up the good work Andy!
True
Keeping up the cash flow…..better than parking it just to watch it rust.
Turn them into glamping pods to rent out
Is that a compound turbo setup?
How long will you keep that tractor? Has it had many problems? Good job. Thx
Buen trabajo Andy
Have you ever had any luck drilling out broken bolts?
No I haven’t
it can be tricky, you have to center punch it right in the middle and of course drill it straight😙 Exhaust manifolds are the worst.
Let Sarah take care of you.
Do you wash it to get the fingerprints off it?
It will work Andy
Just use my theory on everything. There’s the right way, the wrong way and my way. It’s always going to be my way. So just learn to deal with it.
Why not use a helicoil repair kit on broken bolt
I'm no idiot, but what is so special about these 20 some dollar bolts. Kinda wonder if there is something cheaper.
Example cat bolts vs case/ih bolts for heads . Cat are half price and just as good.
Andy, you guys take better care of your equipment with the exception of washing it down, than most. But the phrase God made dirt dirt don't hurt comes to mind. In any case about this tractor you're having issues with any thoughts of trading it off for something else?
No not really
The operator's seat looks like it's on borrowed time, too.
That’s just a seat cover over the seat
On total bill, you didn't count Sarah's labor charge😅
Andy, you may not believe this but I was watching a video about large dairy farms in the U, S, , at this one dairy when they loaded it with 6 round bails they left the plastic and ground it with the bails, I'm not blowing smoke up your butt.

Some bale shredders remove and retain the wrap.
@@beckyumphrey2626 Thank you for taking the time to answer my question
Don't forget to wish John Deere a happy birthday on Wednesday Feb 7th. 220 years old. Born 1804 in Rutland Vermont.
Old John never even built a tractor!
He certainly revolutionized the plow though. Built a hell of a company as well.@@diersirrigation
Andy pays for plenty of presents for Deere & Co...
Andy you’re a big boy cranking those studs down way too tight & stretching them out. When they heat up, they’ll soften & loose strength. Torque is calculated on a combination of metal grade, size and thread pitch. Just for reference, a 3/8” grd8 stud takes 37lbs torque max. and a 7/16” grd8 stud takes 58lbs max. You’re the hardest working guy out there. Stay safe and don’t do wheelies on your E-bikes anymore 🫶
Engine looks small with all the crap that surrounds it!
How many times has that tractor paid for itself though? I bet at least 2-3 times.
👍
most guys wouldn't fix one broken exhaust manifold bolt
if you turned your torch around, to the top, of your hat, you would only have the clip in your eyeline
And then the light would be shining too high
Afro Engineering at it's finest.
It's a tractor it's made to get worked hard
It’s tuff troubleshooting your self. Lol
