All I can say is..WOW! What an involved process. I understand now why the engineers and mechanics never seem to get along..it may look good on paper, but in the real world it’s a m-ferer to repair. Great video.
Ahh.. The memories that your videos bring back for me. I worked for a Case/IH Dealer in Northern Iowa after being a Motor Sergeant in Gulf War One. The average automotive technician would have no clue of the sheer size and scale that being an AG tech brings to the table. 8 years later I moved home to Ky and still have some of the huge tools in my box just for old times sake. Funniest thing I probably recall from those days was being called to a farm in St Ansgar IA. The farmer was combining soybeans and ingested a 10 speed bicycle somehow through the entire feeder housing and the chain from the bike ended up wrapped around the end bearing of the rotor. Keep doing what you are doing young man and I'm looking forward to the next one.
A person never realizes how much mechanical stuff there is on these tractor’s until you watch these videos. A lot of work just to get to that part you have to fix. Keep up the great work you do.Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
Привет, ZK! Недавно тоже приходилось выполнять такую процедуру со снятием кабина с 9520R, только для демонтажа аксиально-поршевого насоса. Работа не из лёгких, спасибо , что ещё и смог снять всё это на видео , было очень интересно!💪👍👍👍
Hi, i used to be a fitter on Massey Ferguson tractors in the 80's, in those days average tractor size was 80 horsepower, i could take a gearbox out, rebuild it and refit it in a day and half, i do not envy the amount of work you have to do nowadays
What makes the cab removal difficult is that people want comfort. Older machines had windows that opened and that's all! I don't envy you putting that all back!
Another great vid. Reminds me of the days when I worked on large plant machinery in the Army (U.K.) we dreamed of clean work areas. We fixed our plant usually wherever they broke. Out in the field on some specific projects, in quarries exposed to the elements or out on manoeuvres in Germany as we prepared for the Russian invasion which we were a bit early for! I even remember solid steel cabs for wheeled machines which we welded on! Supposedly to prevent the rioting Irish from setting fire to us or their missiles from hurting the operators. Of course we just had to work out how to do these things ‘on the fly’. Being a ‘Techie’ as you are is an admirable way to make a living, of course you aren’t paid enough , but I am enjoying your vids. Thank you.
I'm hearing the Ford trucks now require cab removal for engine repair - so it looks like this is the way of the future. My hat's off to you - not only doing the work, but being organized enough to put things back together in such a manner as to have them functional when done! I can just imagine that if the crew I used to be part of was charged with this job - a great sickness would sweep thru the shop and I'd be stuck with the job.....
Another exceptional video. I enjoy step by step process completing tasks. Can't wait for phase two. Keep the action coming. Definitely look you up at the next one. Stay safe!!
Wow. I have a new found respect for a heavy equipment tech! What a monumental job. I used to work on garbage trucks and semi tractor/trailers, but that isn't squat compared to this.
Enjoy your video's! It's a ton of work just to get at the problem. I admire your skill and knowledge - you have much to be proud of! I bet you would be a great mentor to aspiring techs!
I grew up around farming, but my dad quit farming when I was a kid. That ag influence never really left, however, and I just want to say I really enjoy your videos! I also am envious of your skill as a mechanic. Keep up the good work!
Great video once more, some things don't change the world over, and that is the amount of Crop residue trash you find in used Tractors & Combines when you come to work on them. Hi from the U.K.
When I take the cab off a fendt at work I can just unbolt the compressor and Leave the lines on and throw it all in the cab without having to drop the refrigerant which is nice, then it’s just brake lines, steering column and electrics which is two p clamps and two large plugs. Two hours to get it off three hours to put it back on because the brakes need bleeding, but I’m guessing a set of those duels weighs more than one of our tractors
I believe engineers definitely try cramming as much as they can underneath the cab. They need to design a tilting cab to tilt backwards for better access to everything they have positioned under the cab. Plenty of space near the batteries for some of these critical components!
I work at a dealership and we had a new 9620rx that was filling the front axle completely full of oil. Luckily with the 9rx we could get the pump out the bottom. We took the old pump apart and found nothing obvious. The new one was hard to get deere didnt have one anywhere so we had to get one out of the factory. Put the new pump on and it worked like it should luckily.
I’m not a farmer or anything. These videos are cool to watch. I like these videos so far as it allows people like myself, and see what these machines go through and problems they have just like cars and trucks go through. Cry detail and informative. Keep up the great work. These videos are cool like the many TH-cam farmer videos.
Educating videos about real life tough technological malfunctions! Nice and calm posture to deliver knowledge to all kinds of people. Greetings from Portugal.
The video is fantastic, but there were at least 5 times I would have sad f it and had quit the job. As a farmer I find it depressing how complicated and difficult to maintain farm equipment has become.
@@jonnyw82 Hopes and prayers that it won't be too costly. No, jokes aside, first identify the error (displayed in the cab), if it's filter related get an oil, oil filter, fuel filter change in the field (even with strictly respected filter changes and good quality fuel this can happen). If not, call service companys (can I drag the machine home? will a reset/calibration bring it back alive?). After that comes the waiting for service men, spare parts. But in the meantime you take another machine and try to finish work. My farm has more then one tractor and they are close to each other in power so I got back up.
@@jonnyw82 not quite. The natural developement of a farm actually scales it's machinery automatically. If you start small, i.e. my dad started 1992 with a 45 hp tractor, followed by one 65hp, another 65hp second hand machine. After 2010 we got the first big machine, second hand, 200hp, a few years followed by another 200hp machine. 2019 we sold the older 200hp machine and got with UE funding a new 250hp unit. It's a slow upscaling because nobody will ever be able to afford to exchange all the implements one within generational turn.
I've watched a few of your videos now and I enjoy seeing in-depth videos of how different equipment is put together, and how diagnosis and repairs are carried out on such equipment. As a HD mechanic myself I must say I will definitely stick to my CAT mining equipment and there is no way in a million years I would ever put a spanner on any piece of green gear. Keep doing what you're doing !! Love the videos, all the way from Australia 👍👍👍
Absolutely enjoy the videos. One comment for the farmers that have these several 100K tractors. Spend a few hundred dollars and invest in a power washer.
Yeah I'm an easy solution from the get-go with the engineers put an access panel in there so you can get to the charge pumps but go figure anything to make it more complicated so you have to take it to a dealer
Watching your videos all the way from the Netherlands and man I love your videos!! I learned more of your videos than I learned from my teacher at school🤪
Mann it’s never easy with john deere is it. No simple change this or that sensor. Its always to the extreme🤣🤣 love the video though there awesome it really makes me want to work in this field.
i feel the pain of all them lugnuts back in 2012 i had worked at a dealer doing the PDI on new tractors including doing the initial setup of installing all the duals on everything that showed up lots of 9r series units
Wow, the ridiculous number of operations you have to get through, just to reach the parts you need to fix is mind-boggling, without disclosing too much, how much does a fix like this cost in ballpark figures?
Good video add to the comment every engineer should have to go to the field and help the techs maybe they would design these expensive machines better.
Next time I have to pull a wiper cowl and an intake manifold to replace the back bank of spark plugs, I'll remember this and think that I don't have it so bad. Wow
Jeezus…Send that Machine back to Deere for The Engineers and Corporate to Fix/Work On. These Videos make me Think Twice about Purchasing a JD with The Price Markup that JD Commands compared to Other Brands, and I like the Fact that JD Uses Cummins in the 2 Largest Models (Now only the Largest Model for 2022). I sure hope you were Joking about ReUsing that Coolant. You Mechanics are Underrated, Under-Appreciated, & Underpaid, I Commend You! Also, with JD & Sloans Money to Build a Shop/Dealership without a Overhead Crane in it Blows My Mind. I’m surprised that JD Doesn’t have Certain Requirement for Buildings being Built that they have to have a Overhead Crane, ETC to Insure a Safe & Timely Repair same goes for Service Trucks.
I think what would be interesting is an approximate cost to the owner for a repair such as this. It will provide some relativity. I don't mean for you to provide proprietary information but knowing what it costs to transport the tractor from the farm to the shop and then some type of repair costs would be interesting. Keep up the interesting work
I dont do the billing so I actually dont know how much those things cost. I know part costs and how much time I put in but I dont know what the final invoice numbers are.
Should try working on a TLD main deck k loader they are a hydraulic electrical can bus nightmare to work on with no information available or atleast the shop I work at is too cheap to pay to get access to the information. I would love to work on those newer tractors and learn the new farming systems on them.
That is fascinating to watch. I hope we get many more of these. Too long between videos but I understand it’s s lot of work editing. Thanks for sharing. FyI, could you wear a microphone because it’s hard to hear you at times when you looking away from the camera. Love the channel
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah most of my time is not spent editing, its mainly the time it takes to get the job done. Once the job is done it only takes me an evening or two to get the video finished. Over time I will start to upgrade my equipment but im not professional by far. I only use an Iphone for everything. Filming and editing. Im trying to show the world you dont need fancy equipment to film quality content. But im starting to push the boundaries of that.
I’m actually pretty surprised that your shop doesn’t have any kind of over head jib or crane. Seems like it would be helpful with the bigger tractors and combines
I don't know if you've any experience with Yellocs service plugs for hydraulic hoses and so on. It's a way to avoid/minimize contamination in your loops or they'll keep the fluids from leaking out all over. Maybe there's some kind of counterpart that you know of or have used before. But they're handy as far as I know. Cheers for the rare content and I wish you a overhead crane from Santa.
This is a good video and should be compulsory viewing for all the design engineers at John Deere tractors - because it shows how little thought they have given to the maintenance and repair of these tractors. Maintenance technicians should not have to spend hours and hours taking large parts of the tractor to bits - in order to get at at the charge pump.
Hate to tell you but manufacturers don't design things for technician's. They design things for the end user. If it was made so the tech. could get at everything with ease it would look a right camel of a machine
@@TheMRSTEVEN That's not true. Here in the UK we used to have HGV trucks that had fixed cabs - which made it a complete nightmare to work on the engine. Then the truck manufacturers introduced the tilting cab - and what a difference that made to getting access to the engine. And what's more the drivers and owners of these HGV trucks have never complained about having tilting cabs - indeed it has saved the owner a lot of money by having lower maintenance bills and less downtime. So improvements can be made to the design which makes life easier for the technician, and cheaper for the owner - without it compromising its functionality.
You can’t have everything easily accessible unfortunately, taking a cab off a machine is pretty standard for a large number of repair/maintenance jobs. The tractors I work in a lot of transmission or hydraulic related job, other than a service, is cab off
@@joelhart9020 You are right - there are other design engineers out there that work for other manufacturers that don't make life easy for maintenance technicians either. However, there do appear to be a few design engineers who are thinking about how to make life easier for the maintenance technicians by introducing tilting cabs - with the likes of Komatsu WA80M wheel loader and Cat 953D track loader and there are lots of others - so hopefully this "technology" - will migrate over to tractors too - especially on tractors that sells for around $500K.
I very much enjoy your content, thank you! Looking forward to part two. Even though I make a living these days as a full time computer geek, 38 years ago I was an ASE certified diesel mechanic and perhaps it is time to consider merging my computer geek and former mechanic skills since it seems like there is a LOT of crossover on the two skill sets now! Hmmmm, I wonder how many years of PM based service tickets I'd have to do before I get to play with the cool stuff? :-)
Not to be that guy but, I have welded many of those roof rails. There is a plug cap on the end that gets welded. If it has 46 on it, thats my stamp number.
Love your videos. How the heck do you figure out what to take apart, better yet how to put it all back together in the right order with no leftover parts
I know every inch of these machines and what everything does. So it’s not hard to know how to take it apart. I’m really organized and have a system so it’s pretty easy to put everything back where it goes. Taking pictures sometimes helps if it’s a major job.
new equipment is nice, but this video makes me appreciate the simplicity of our big buds
All I can say is..WOW! What an involved process. I understand now why the engineers and mechanics never seem to get along..it may look good on paper, but in the real world it’s a m-ferer to repair. Great video.

Show how you use the special tools, like the hose clamp tool, etc.
You try to do that one handed and film with the other!
I wish we had Deere dealerships like this in New Jersey, biggest thing around here are lawn mowers
It's not good when you get better service from Delaware than your local dealer
Well that would explain why there are no dealers like that!

This has been going on for a decade in all makes and models but you’ve never seen it because no one is filming it until now.
@@ZKMasterTech I kind of thought that might be the case as John Deere has a good reputation. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
Wow what a job. Did i detect a step brothers reference?
Taking that cab off looked really hard.
Love your videos. How the heck do you figure out what to take apart, better yet how to put it all back together in the right order with no leftover parts
I know every inch of these machines and what everything does. So it’s not hard to know how to take it apart. I’m really organized and have a system so it’s pretty easy to put everything back where it goes. Taking pictures sometimes helps if it’s a major job.
Can’t imagine how much that repair would cost!
Dang that's a lot of work just to replace a pump anyways great job
What kind of socket are you using at 19:00
