Probly one of the last great tractors John Deere made..6410s weren't bad either but after that they seem to have gone stupid with all there computerized crap and sensors sensing sensors ultimately making it very difficult if not impossible for the average guy to fix..at least in my opinion
We took the alternator off the 6420 today because it wasn't charging and had an error code for bad alternator. We tested the alternator at the battery and it said bad, but when we took it off and took it to a local shop he said it was good. Now we're trying to figure it out, must be a bad connection somewhere.
@farmgrowncountrystrong I don't remember how the wires are on these tractors right off hand, but I know on the 4020, the small wire has power from.the key when the key is on. That excites the alternator and tells it to charge. But some alternators have their own regulator that excites itself once it's spinning fast enough. Another option is to put it back on tractor and test it again at battery and at 12v pole on alternator. Maybe there's a fuse in that cable between alternator and battery.
@@LVFFarmVlogs okay, thanks for the info. That thing has two 80 amp fuses in parallel coming off the positive battery terminal, and a 70 coming off of the alternator. They're all good too.
It looks to me like you just put a ratchet on that bottom idler pulley and pull towards you as if you were tightening it. But I couldn't see what kind of bolt holds the pulley on. anyways I hope you figure it out.
I.m praying you never have to put a water pump.on the little sob I had to remove the hood and or both side panels 3 times in 3 months... ist time to braze wear hole in oil cooler, second time, to replace oil cooler and radiator, third time, water pump we sold it
we put some up for hay last year that was probably too ripe BUT it turned out ok.... ran it threw hay grinder and what not. Feed value was not terrible
Good video brad! I haven't been commenting lately but oh well, how many horsepower is your 6400? We have a 7210 and I think it's about 100 and our 7410 is about 115-120 I think but have a nice night and what brand of baler do you have? I don't think I found your channel yet when you were haying. Thanks Max.
+Versatile 1150 6400 is 85 horse, a 7210 should be 95 horse and a 7400 is 105 horse if they are factory set! But, the smoke screw can change all that!!!
91F here yesterday and I was sweating, you in a jacket. I know you are glad to get this issue behind you. thanks for the time in your shop.. :)
+Soybean Farmer thanks! Ready for haying season now!
gotta love those newer tractors, metric bolts and no room to work lol. It was cold enough today I was discing with a winter coat on lol
+Farmall 560 diesel lol! Can't tell what season it is!!!
larsonvalleyfarm, yeah that's for sure lol
Don't forget to do the cab filters - you will really feel the benefit! I'm afraid I cannot advise about the belt issue.
getting close to 2000 subscribers keep up the good work happy farming
Unbelievable you are still wearing a jacket and it's almost June! It's so hot here you can barely get anything done without a fan for life support
+cleatrampler yes, the temp really dropped after those storms came thru. 36f this morning!
Deere did not make it real easy to get to that alternator. Hope it works good for you!
*"Probably gonna be metric too"*
I think that's the norm... I've started reaching for the metric tools first more often lately.

Test for power from key to alternator?
@@LVFFarmVlogs we did not, would that be with it running?

Never mind stupid me was pulling on the latch instead of pushing

David Goethe xxx by the looks of it, the water pump is not original!
How do you get the hood latch to release I couldn't get one to open the other day thought I might of missed something
+Smalltown Farmer88 push it in. It's on the left front. Then as you push in the latch release lever pull the hood forward
haying is just around the corner... Checked my rye we haven't grazed at all yet... starting to head out!!
+Ted Kahler mine is heading out to, with all this rain the forecast doesn't look good for getting this rye hay made before it's too ripe!
we put some up for hay last year that was probably too ripe BUT it turned out ok.... ran it threw hay grinder and what not. Feed value was not terrible
Ted Kahler I'm thinking I'm baleage!

+Versatile 1150 I have a new Holland 648 silage special round baler
Did it work as hoped for?
+ScottyRockTrains so far it works right!
are the jd alternators rebuildable?? I know I did that on the 165 mf and it saved me some money.
younggunfarmer416 yes they are, I'll see how much to rebuild the old one compared to a new one.
good thing you get paid flat rate!jk
+DLK HAY lol
