Great video sir . I think keeping some of the reusable parts is a good idea because of the hours that your operation puts on the equipment ,there's always something that breaks down .
That crankshaft welded to an old semi steel wheel that came loose and wallered the holes out would make a great mailbox stand for a mechanic my middle daughter is a diesel mechanic she took the crank from a 68 D7G and the flywheel poured a 4 ft deep hole 36 inches in diameter to bolt the flywheel to then my son in his fabrication/welding shop built a mailbox that looked like an old dozer with the blade away from the road the winch is the handle to the door he painted it Cat yellow and my youngest daughter does alot of craft stuff from a picture she painted the Cat logos on it chromed the stack and cylinder rams it turned out pretty slick nobody can steal it like the 379 Peterbuilt she ordered and had bolted to a wood post and my dad's IH combine and if anyone tries running it over they better have a tank because it took my mini-excavator to get it sat on the pad and bolted down then she had me weld 2 of the nuts on dad's new mailbox stand is an old corn sheller bolted to a 6 inch slab of concrete my son built him an old mounted 2 row New Idea corn picker on a Farmall M with a wagon that's the mailbox the wagon is welded to the tray you set the corn on and a frame comes off that to hold the tractor my daughter painted it too I'm getting an old barn made for grandpa's old cream separator and can put flowers on the big stainless steel bowl my son and daughter are thinking about doing custom mailboxes to sell he'll build em she'll paint em and people can bring in what they want them mounted to or he can make brackets to bolt to a 4x4 post
I will tell you Andy the reason it failed unlike the nuts that gravatate to every farming channel to put down the brand they don't like me included it failed because sh$% happens red green blue yellow and orange at some point it's going to scatter parts everywhere I still wonder if the old ones are better I have new and old machines and it just seems like my oldest big tractor will crank when nothing else will start and overall is holding up quite well and I maybe wrong but I fear these electronics just won't be going in 50 years but great video
I agree 100% with that statement. We have a case ih 7110 magnum on the farm I work for with 23,000 hours on it and it’s never had any engine or transmission work done to it. It still starts every day without being plugged in until it gets below 10 degrees f
Very good time lapse video , if nothing else comes out of it Kerr got a good experience of how some of the things come a part and might be useful in some future repair on you machines using the same motor ! Hope you can salvage something out not it !! 16000 hours isn't anything to squawk about most operations would never put that many hours on at all !!
You would be surprised what people will buy on eBay Andy if its something they need and can save a few bucks everybody is happy just be careful on your packaging so things don't get received damaged UPS and FedEx are rough on things! Thanks for the video!!
One bad journal on a crank can be fixed by spray welding or other conventional welding methods, then regrinding the crank to a standard under size as needed.
What surprise to see the injector pump and other valuable things not used. One of two things come to mind - labor at the dealership is to expensive or John Deere is forcing the dealership to sell it this way for extra revenue. Either way the rebuild must have been outrageous wouldn’t surprised to see a certified or trained mechanic add to the farm if one became available to help Andy do more mechanic worked. I feel for you, dam lucky you can cash flow it.
I see a lot of value in the fuel system parts. That and that cylinder head probably gonna be your best bet for recuperating some of the $ 3000 for the core charge on the engine itself. As far as you thinking you should have rebuilt it at 10,000 hours… You should have just not let Zach Johnson drive it and it would still be running lol.. no I’m kidding he’s a cool dude. Thanks for taking the time to video all this stuff though. I love looking at blown up engine’s as much as it sucks to deal with. Failure analysis is always very interesting
Been doing the same thing to a IH 466 I am trying to combine two engines into one. Long story. Difference I’m trying to do it myself I’ll admit it’s above my pay grade
I had some bad luck w those engines. I use to own a logging/chipping company and had a feller buncher w the 6068 and went thru 3 engines in 2 years. Rebuilt it first time and didn’t last 6 months. Got a reman from JD and that joker blew a week after warranty went out. JD was good to me though and still paid half on a new reman. Those are good engines, but if you overheat em, seems like it kills it. Cummins was my favorite engine bc seemed like they were bulletproof
I am so sorry you lost a motor because I know how expensive cat motors! I have been an owner operator for 31 years but lotta cat parts of my day I think it’s a good idea I would bet on a piston and a connecting rod I have a souvenir and maybe you guys could engrave part of the piston your name on it or something they could be kind of cool I definitely bid on it thanks for the videos I appreciate it I’ll be looking forward to the next one!!!
It would be great to see the pistons up for bid on Ebay. I follow a Plane Saving channel and they have sold a few items on Ebay and made some real good money.. You could fit them in a USPS Medium Flat Rate box so the shipping cost is the same where ever it goes.
Great video. It's cool seeing the time lapse if the engine getting tore apart.looks like quite the project though. Would any local dealers be interested in the parts maybe?
Andy, you should have been the first one into the oil pan on that one because of a curious thread I witnessed in a John Deere forum that blew me away. A poster asked if anyone else found a connecting rod cap bolt loose in the oil pan and the number of yes I did would make a man swear off of sex. Some retorqued and moved on with life and some did an overhaul. But it appears that they commonly back out on their own and that exact evidence is all gone now.
You could check with your dealer to see if they take cores charges. I'm sure there are cores on the injectors, oil pump, water pump, head, maybe the fuel pump, egr valve, egr cooler probably get around $1000 for all of it when all said and done, just a thought before you scrap them if you don't get them sold.
Thank you for the video Andy. I enjoyed the time lapse. Just curious but I saw one of your guys spreading poo earlier today over on a field by RT 5, will there be a video of that?
At 16000 hours you've had your moneys worth out of it anyway . Years ago the motor shop guys I used before they retired told me those JD offset connecting rods are bad for going oval on the rod bearing ends and needing re machining when doing those motors. Maybe thats what started happening to those before the failure. If you got 6 or more weirdo's with a piston and rod fetish want to fight over them, and pay you for the experience take their money L.O.L. Even if you donate the money to charity or buy the guys a couple boxes of beer during the year. Something good would still come out of it on top of what you're going to keep and use again. Thanks for the update take care.
Crank is good, commonly called a boat anchor. Back in the day when Oldsmobile had their diesel, my brother turned an old piston into a lamp. That was nice. About the only good thing those diesels were good for. 🤔🤔🤔
I was working on a small pickup truck just to fixing something with the wheel bearings, which was a straight forward job. but it end up fixing one thing after another. Just what's happening with your truck.
I like to get a piston for an ashtray. I know someone that did that to a piston out of his car, the same thing happen to this guy car, spun the bearing and threw a rod through the block.
John Deere 900 series combines Combine harvester (( 1972 to 1981 )) engine parts is it same with Engine White / Hercules D298ER D298ERX37 6 Cylinder Diesel Engine parts ?
Absolutely put pistons and rods on eBay. People make clocks and other things like car show trophies from them. Any money you can make back is money saved from this dilemma.👍
I see some other sites read 5-6 reviews each time at the end. Seems to really get viewers commenting and viewer ship really grows. Wouldn't do trolls... They feed off comments from momma's basement..
Great stuff Andy! Where did you learn all of your mechanical knowledge? What school? Obviously some of your knowledge comes from experience, I presume.
@@FarmingFixingFabricating Let us know when the stuff goes up on ebay. Post a link to your auctions please. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy watching you work and your straightforward explanations about what you are going to do, what you are doing, and what you did. You are an excellent teacher and a pretty fair wrench slinger.
Nice video!! Man your cousins @ nyfarmgirls on TH-cam are tearing it up! 30 40 10000 views every video? Maybe you should get your nails done and put on eyeliner? Can't hurt right?
Sounds like a good idea to bid on the Pistons even a autograph on them. Appreciate the time explaining the parts also.
Little Bondo, that block will be as good as new
Great video sir . I think keeping some of the reusable parts is a good idea because of the hours that your operation puts on the equipment ,there's always something that breaks down .
thanks for all the great videos Andy you are all hard workin guys
Hello from Maine Andy I really enjoy your videos especially the equipment maintenance aspect
Always good to have some parts lying around. Make sure to stand the cam up vertically in storage so she doesn’t sag. Cheers 🇨🇦
Thanks for making that video Andy. Great video.

Should send a piston to Zack as a souvenir
David Weedon i’m with you on this one
Andy Your a Hero like John Force . he been selling his broken parts for years !! Hell yes sell them
Definitely send #5 to Zach with a thank you note lol

The Millennial Farmer should buy that block. 😉
He'd just kick it and ask it if it's ok ;-)
Andy thanks for all the valuable shop talk very knowledgeable dam. Put that stuff on eBay someone would bid on the good stuff great video
Great video again Andy
Thanks Gary
@Oliver 880 I really don't know what happened to him
That fat Base with distortion was cool. Nice choice of music. Great video as always Andy. Carry on regardless. 🤘🖒🖒
When a engine blows up you do proper job on it. Thanks for letting us see what happen to the engine.
Very good time lapse video , if nothing else comes out of it Kerr got a good experience of how some of the things come a part and might be useful in some future repair on you machines using the same motor ! Hope you can salvage something out not it !! 16000 hours isn't anything to squawk about most operations would never put that many hours on at all !!

And same color as what you are use to
Closer shots andy love the videos

Hello from Houston Texas
Hello
I agree about making the block into a table. I would buy it just for that purpose, but the shipping would kill that idea quick.

Good luck with what you do with the parts....
I would guess it's been starved of oil at some point Andy maybe low oil or oil pump issue enjoyed vid thanks
Thanks for sharing Andy 👍
thanks for the video andy

You should make a art piece out of the bad parts. Weld up something art looking ... might sell for more. Just an idea..
That's a good idea

Andy, use this experience as a reminder for when your 7200r gets up in hours! Don’t need to see they same thing happen to it!
Great video. It's cool seeing the time lapse if the engine getting tore apart.looks like quite the project though. Would any local dealers be interested in the parts maybe?
Might be
Sad ending to a strong engine. Any ideas on your replacement for the crashed tractor??? Stay safe, Tim
Hasn’t been delivered yet
Zach must have had it wide open when he was defacing!!😁🤣

It's too late now

Good diesel class Andy. My questions at this point are-how many hours, did you buy it new, and what kind of oil did you use? Kc
It has 180 hours on it when we bought it. We use Mobile delvac
Just weld that window shut, rebuild the engine, & a coat of paint. Good as new, then send it over to Ritchie Bros.
No... don't do that.
Lol
It will be perfect if someone has a good block
and needs the top and the other details.
Andy , sure looks like it ran low on oil,more than once.
Thank you for the video Andy. I enjoyed the time lapse. Just curious but I saw one of your guys spreading poo earlier today over on a field by RT 5, will there be a video of that?
At some point I’ll do a spreading video
Dam good thrash video😊. Sure toasted that crank.. Should run Amsoil
John Pratt I agree on the amsoil, $20 a gallon, Mobil CK -4 isn't as good as the older formula.
Mr. Andy why is it seem like when something goes wrong with one of your truck one of the other ones copies. L.O.L.
Hey Andy check out this on facebook parody of ac/DC thunderstruck, called tractor stuck, lmao
I was told one time if king pins have over .010 of a inch play you need to replace them
With engines over 10,000 hour oil sample are probably warranted every 500 hours, thinking of testing an old farm tractor next week.
At 16000 hours you've had your moneys worth out of it anyway . Years ago the motor shop guys I used before they retired told me those JD offset connecting rods are bad for going oval on the rod bearing ends and needing re machining when doing those motors.

Do some sort of giveaway with the pistons.
Were all your snap rings accounted for that hold in your wrist pins?
I think so
Will any of the external engine components fit on the other deere payload in a emergency?
Yes
I'm just here for the sledge hammer.......
teaches2010 I was sweating for the poor boy holding that when Andy was swinging away 😂
teaches2010 f
Late again. Dang it. Never a dull moment for ya either eh buddy
Keeps it interesting
@@FarmingFixingFabricating lol that is true
Why didn't they use more of the parts that don't wear out, when putting in the new motor, like the bell housing?
And the wire harness.
Had a cat 936 F loader cat told me those engines need to be rebuilt at 14,000 hours similar sized machines
John Deere 900 series combines Combine harvester (( 1972 to 1981 )) engine parts is it same with Engine White / Hercules D298ER D298ERX37 6 Cylinder Diesel Engine parts ?
Not sure
Good tear down video Andy I see your a full time farmer are you a heavy mechanic by trade
Farming mechanic
I hear ya
Can you tune a Caterpillar engine like a Cummins one?
Yes
did you check the pick up tube and oil pump
The dealer checked the pump and it is ok
How many man hours do you think you had in breaking that engine down
He worked on it a little here and a little there...... Hard to say.
Put the Pistons on eBay, great ... Souvenir items
Absolutely put pistons and rods on eBay.
People make clocks and other things like car show trophies from them.
Any money you can make back is money saved from this dilemma.👍
There is alot more parts in a diesel than a gas engine of the same size.I have done a number of gas enginesover the years on antique tractors
Any chance that injection pump is a Stanadyne DB2?
Denso I believe..RE543262 is the part number
I would send the bill to the millennial farmer since he was there when it broke LOL 😂😂😂 God Bless and stay safe
I enjoy watching your videos. Why not put those items on eBay.....
Put them up on Ebay and spend money for lunch for the crew and purchase something shop if a decent amount comes from them. just an idea
I see some other sites read 5-6 reviews each time at the end. Seems to really get viewers commenting and viewer ship really grows. Wouldn't do trolls... They feed off comments from momma's basement..
I’d buy a piston if you put them up
Send Zach the window piston and rod
Andy, what is the dimensions of your A-frame?
14’ tall 14’ wide
What size square tubing and wall thickness?
@@johnwinterton7944 6"box tube quarter wall
Thanks Andy, I am building one with 8” box and 3/8” wall. I want it to handle 2 ton 16’ high 16’ wide. Thanks for the insight
Save parts saves💲💲...👍
I am sure people will need the parts on eBay
i bet the cam is bent
Throw all that EGR Crap right in the scrap pile also. Let the Hippie Tears Roll!

@@FarmingFixingFabricating Impressive!
👍👍
16000 hrs isnt bad i know fords that only last 4
Sell it to Jasper engines they'll bubble gum it back together and resell it.
Just weld a plate over the hole!!!!! It's hard to unload used parts.
I am ready engine assy 6068HD
Put the crank on ebay too. I'd be interested in that.
