Zeth and Ben, they will have to call you the dynamic duo from now on! That was a masterclass in teamwork. you both knew what you were doing and let the other one do what they needed to do, with barely a question between you. As you were getting going, I had a semi flashback to when a friend and I were sent to recover a tractor from a yard where it had broken down. Only problem was, that said yard, was 9" deep in slurry and neither of us had been told about the slurry. I was the first to get there and didn't know how deep it was and just started to walk across the yard. I got literally 2 paces across, and was in 4" of it, right over my boots not even wellies. That was literally a shit job, that I left that night! At least you got the job done to get it back to the shop. Hope to see the Pt 3.
Thanks for another dynamic video ZK and Ben. It was extremely interesting and informative to see this track progress fixed far enough to load on a trailer to take to the dealership. My compliments to you ZK and helper Ben for the work you did in the field condition no less. Wow and wow. Looked like a difficult job in the service bay much less out in the field. That track is huge and must weight as much as a car I am assuming. Glad you have that crane system on your truck ZK. Almost impossible without it. Wow. You and Ben did a great job of retreading those bolt holes good enough to get the track back on and good enough to load on a trailer. You both just amazed me on how you tackled the job and got it put back together again. Neat story they put the big tires on it to replace the tracks as a new track system was not immediately available. Good solution to that issue for now anyway. Keeps the farmer in the combine for harvest season so all is good. Appreciate the hard work you both put into this project and got the combine moving again. Amazing work ZK and Ben!!!!!!! Great job done!!!!!!!’ The Iowa farm boy. Steve 😊👋👍👍✅🇺🇸
Wow! Way cool guys. No way we could pull this one off. Very professional. I really didn't understand the reason for the torn up threads on the drive wheel. Some serious damage. Reinstalling that track was amazing. Well done guys!!!
The reasons for elongated holes are limited to 3 reasons: poor metal quality of either component (Hub or bolt), incorrect bolt tensile or more likely loose bolts through lack of service checks and lack of thread lock. The latter has been a big factor with wheel loss on many vehicles. Is there a regular servcing advisary on these components?
Think this is the first video (other than when you initially got it) that we have got to see the 1” Milwaukee impact in action. Also the ending comments about sewing the leg back on got me laughing more than probably most as I’m a right leg amputee wishing it was as easy as actually sewing the leg on lol.
We got a farmer up our way that's got a 9x combined in the first thing he did with it was take the bolts out drill the holes out bolts and nuts for his lug bolts
@@joescheller6680 Part of the daily routine is checking for loose bolts Very lucky are few days ago with the nose weights on are R370 tracked machine Two bolts had popped the heads off. In the end the bolts where fractionally to long and where bottoming out Same thing with wheel bolts tighten torque and retorque them till they don’t come loose anymore
@ Happens here every morning are visual inspection of the wheels and are walk around the machine. You can soon determine if bolts are loose or not Had are RT 370 JD tracked machine the front weight pack had come loose. The washers wear turning behind the bolt. From the factory the bolts were to long. There’s no excuse for poor maintenance then blaming the machine and the Brand for the failure
@ you can’t catch all those broken bolt. You have to get a wrench on them. They are too heavy to move by hand. You can catch a lot with visual inspection,but this stuff happens. Usually it’s cracked bolts,that lead to a catastrophic failure all at once. The dirt and mud usually has these things hidden. It’s impossible to blame anyone,this stuff is just part of it.
Quick tip if you take hay and spread it out under a track, it helps slide a lot easier. I've fought with so many dang tracks over the years. Friction is your enemy with heavy tracks!
More common than you might imagine with big displacement diesels .. The lower skirt of a piston snags the sleave on the downstroke.. Then drags that or a portion of the sleave down to the crank.. and well.. it does not stop there.. the other cylinders that are still firing tend to send things into orbit..... Far more common with fresh engines and Good ol' Master Tech would set those to run hot and at a higher and less efficient engine speed to wear in the cylinder walls.. Dougo runs a lot of BIG iron and probably knows that not only gives less torque but also costs more in fuel..... Doubt very much that Brody did anything he hadn't been told to do.. Probably was on the cold side and throwing out max torque when things went into orbit... Doesn't really matter what color they are.. it happens... Hate to see it happen to such hard working people.
For fixing threads or rethreading I would use "Taper Tap". Tap aligns in the hole faster which helps in preventing tapping crooked. Not very useful in shallow blind holes.
Bolts are essentially mechanical springs. Many bolt tightening specifications call out a bolt torque. The bolt torque causes the bolts to be lengthened or stretched. For an excellent bolted joint, the bolt axial stiffness needs to be much lower than the abutment (the two pieces of metal, the combine's final drive hub and rubber belt drive wheel, that are bolted together). By doing this causes the external loads on the bolted joint to be seen more so by the bolted joint abutment than the bolts. If this ratio is not correct then the bolts will loosen up and the carnage seen in this repair video. Why the Deere engineers said to get the paint out of the bolted joint was to try to minimize the amount of M24 bolt preload or bolt stretch loss due to the softness of paint. Paint in highly loaded bolted joints should be avoided. What would make this bolted joint be more robust would be to use longer M24 bolts and long but hardened, thick-walled spacers. Look at the back wheels on these combines for there are long thick-walled spacers with longer bolts being used.
Good work men 💪👍👍 John Deere should offer as an option built in jacks for servicing these big machines. An option because not everyone may want the added expense. Joid job guys ✌️💚
Remind me of getting tracks off big dozers rubber tracks easy to move around with the nice crane good job both of you do 30 years of heavy equipment lots of road calls I went on if I needed extra help my service manager came with great videos guy
I used to think that until we had a brand new 7230r transmission go out at 100 hrs. Dealer was out of loaners and Deere corporate said tough shit. Had to hire the neighbor to finish planting for us.
That track assembly weighs as much as an old Chevy Suburban. At least it wasn't raining. How could those huge bolts come loose? Maybe they need a little thread locker on them? If I had to guess, I would say that someone didn't tighten them to the specified torque at the factory. Maybe temperature change had something to do with the loosening.
How does thirteen bolts come loose at the same time? I know a few may have been pulled out but, give me a break JD who ever tighten them to start with or, was it like of routine maintenance
When you are trying to pick up a damaged interior thread, a bottom tap is your last choice. A Taper tap /starter tap is your best choice with a Plug tap as second best. Makes catching the true thread much easier.
Did the bolts just loosened up over time? Is there a periodic torque requirement? There is one on my IH round baler. On my IH tractors I installed grade 8 lock nuts on the other side of the hub to insure I do not loose a wheel due to loosening lug bolts. If there is room for the lock nuts there is no reason not to do this.
I see in some of the comments people ask how does something like that come apart anyway? My theory is they work the machine so hard that there's bound to be something coming loose, the other thing I'd like to say is, why isn't there studs and safety wire on something like that? It doesn't take John Deere to put it on.
Looks like a damn new machine for this to happen. Ive never worked on farm equipment but those dont seem like bolts you should have to worry about coming loose. I know on our D series dozers we ran into this a few times if they were ran on really hard compacted dirt. Just from the rattling constantly. But yea this being in farm land the soil should be pretty soft. I could be wrong though.
@@ZKMasterTech I am a LEGAL immigrant since 1988 and LOVE the US, i am just a chemist and cannot fix much. May our Lord look after you and keep you safe is my prayer. take care. im impressed.
Tell me again about all the advantages of tracks over duals. Did you check torque on the drive wheel bolts on the other side? What is the correct torque and maintenance time interval for the drive wheel bolts?
In the old days, Deere prohibited dealers from admitting any kind of failure and only permitting transporting machines after working hours. Look it up:)
@@panders55But John Deere would lead you to believe that their machinery have no issue. Just get out your checkbook and write us a big check is there thinking
Basically the same setup with the drive sprocket in all machines. JD has issues but this particular failure was due to poor maintenance. Somebody failed to notice the sprocket bolts being loose probably for multiple years. They are supposed to be checked every so many hours.
I would for the future cut down the shank of an m24x3 tap and chop off about 2/3 of the threaded end so you could slip in into the drive flange from the back side and fix the threads from the wrong side. Alternatively a shop that does EDM could cut a square drive or hex drive hole to do the same tap from the rear side. Question. Do you paint mark the drive sprocket lug bolts allowing operators to see if they are backing off?
Nice work, one question, without head, what is the gross weight of that combine? You you two gentlemen put in a good days work on this one for sure. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
Larsons Deere is getting a new heart and it sounds like, from the video at least, heart surgery will be performed IN the field. Can't wait to see that one.
@@JohnSmith-uy2jg it would be warranty repair if it was as new as your saying so no cost to them plus it only took 3 days to repair so I highly doubt that they had catastrophic crop losses
Maybe pack a bottle or two of some cheap liquid dish soap for jobs like this, squirt some at the contact areas between the tracks and the rubber rollers. Helps ease the stickiness.
Looks like no one has done a walkaround of the machine to check for loose bolts, worn belts etc. Every operator should have a daily check list in the cab and it should be done daily when operating any machine.

How much is Deere paying the farmer for all the downtime caused by Deere’s ignorance?
The bigger jack is only a 12 ton jack. Designed for sprayers. That's why it wouldn't lift the combine.

@@JohnSmith-uy2jg it would be warranty repair if it was as new as your saying so no cost to them plus it only took 3 days to repair so I highly doubt that they had catastrophic crop losses
Also they probably let them have a loaner or had another they used
M24-3.0 Tap! Tool warehouse on wheels! Perhaps the original 10.9 bolts were not properly torqued at the factory?
They ship without tracks so it would be the dealer who possibly didn’t tighten them
What is the issue because its not just bolts getting loose or you would have re torqued and lock tighted them all on and run it
Maybe pack a bottle or two of some cheap liquid dish soap for jobs like this, squirt some at the contact areas between the tracks and the rubber rollers. Helps ease the stickiness.
Keep that green iron moving. . . . that certainly requires a little know how!
