Nice work, Dave. The joy of success was evident on your face and in your voice. When you raised your hands all your digits were still there, too! Prayer and patience gets us through all dificulties. I'm sorry to hear of the loss of Daisy. A good dog is a family member and it's devistating when they pass. She can not be replaced. Maybe a puppy would be a blessing. I prefer females because they are more sensitive and tend too stay closer. I always council my customers when replacing their Golden Retrievers that each dog is an individual with their own personalities. Enjoy your new puppy, get know her personality, and keep your lost dog [Daisy] in your heart like the dear friend that they were. God bless you and stay safe. Dave
thank you for those comforting words. yes Ole Daisy was a unique spirit / personality. I prefer the females myself. I may at some point look into helping a dog in need. I was over joyed to finally be at the point of addressing the problem. I will sure be glad when this job is over. lol
Watched these last two videos out of order but man that was a lot to remove. I feel your pain. Hey many times I have to stop and pray for help on jobs like this, it always helps too! Labor cost is exactly why I did my Farmtrac 60’s clutch myself, later I helped with a 3000 Ford as well. Best of luck to you during all this!
Holy Crap Dave!!! You are truly a marvel! And it was great to see you really smile... haven't seen that in a long while. I've never seen you fail at anything and I'm pretty sure you're gonna get through this too. Best always.
Way to go Master Dave! I knew you would do it! 🙂 No worries about a detailed video,. Just happy for you more han anything! I cannot wait to see you get it back together. Rooting for you always!
thank you for all the positive vibes. I need all the encouragement I can get. its going slow and there may be a few things I learned that I can share. its been an adventure so far.
Wow! If I ever manage to wear out my clutch in my L3301HST, I sure hope I'll be able to afford to pay the dealer to fix it. Getting your tractor split for the first time all by yourself was a heck of an accomplishment.
Funny ending!!! I totally know what you meant in the beginning. Taking so long to dismantle, knowing assembling might be 10x longer! Frustration can install and motivation get very low! Best thing at that point is to continue and never stop. Thanks! Moving to part 3!
Great job Dave. That job is serving two purposes, as mentioned below. Just keep that vision of starting your tractor for the first time after your done. How great will that feel. We're all pulling for you !!
LOL Love the ending! When you got it apart I wanted to give you applause! lol You did it! Big job! I pray it goes back together for you with easy my friend! Looking forward to seeing what you find. See ya Dave!
God sure is Merciful Dave. He allowed you to get thru this brother. I was excited to see you part ihis tractor. I have never done this before either, but I know its a big task everything is heavy and hard to get to. I will be praying for you, and so looking forward to see you complete your work. May God be with you my friend.
I been praying myself for safety and wisdom to get through this. I been blessed with a fair amount of skills. more than I deserve I'm sure. so far its going ok only cut two fingers. lol knock on wood! thanks for the prayers I knew someone must have been praying for me.
How's she goin'? Wow Dave!!! Tons of work buddy but you got it apart!! I suspect putting in the new clutch will be pretty straight forward, but then like you say, getting it back together. Wishing you all the best old friend!!! Take care!!
for sure its going to be a journey to get this back together. I will just go slow and take my time. I dont want to miss torqueing a bolt properly and what not.
Man Dave that sure looks like a lot of work for one guy! I sure wish I was near you even tho I have zero knowledge of your tractor I am pretty decent at mechanical stuff and know I would enjoy helping you out You’ll get it done I am sure and I’ll keep you in my prayers my brother
Great job Dave on getting back into the grind of life! Keeping THAT busy will definitely help keep your thoughts focused on tasks that need doing, and not dwelling on your recent loss of your best friend. Good luck pard!
yeah I though so as well. still have moments. Ole Daisy would never let me over do it in the shop or go to long with out checking on Mom. I miss that. she would always come along and stop me and demand I go inside for water food and check on mom. that thought hit me hard last night and I cried. just could not help myself. they say tears are a good thing. so its part of the process I guess.
Yeah, I know what you mean there for sure. The other day I turned 60 and spent half the day in tears thinking about my last 2 pups I miss soooooo much. Great job on the tractor tho! I’m heading to the ranch for some tractor therapy myself shortly.
Can you explain to us why you needed to change the clutch I had a 3901 hydrostat that I had to change the clutch in because of the clutch plates come apart having no release on the clutch. I also have changed tractor clutches about a dozen times moving it Forward is the wisest when putting back together have a couple of yellow ratchet straps front axle to rear axle to put it together
thanks Bob yes I used a ratchet strap as well. and a bore scope to line the splines up. I will show the reason its being changed in an up coming video but what prompted this job was a noisy ringing sound. more likely the throw out bearing. in an earlier video I used a bore scope to investigate the clutch area and it appeared to be a split down the middle of the fingers that the bearing presses against. you can check that video and see what I'm talking about. after opening it up I discovered it was not a crack but instead a grease line that wiped off. lol still the clutch disc was out of spec but not worn. I will show this in a future video real soon. like in the next couple days more likely. right now tranny and motor is back bolted together. new clutch is in. working on clean up, and then installing the steering components and such to get it back operational. cant work on it but a couple hours every few days so its going slow.
Always a positive inspiration! My buddy has the exact same tractor. Hours on the clutch?? And any abnormal issues that caused excess wear?? May our Lord continue shower bountiful blessing over you and yours.
800 hours. it got noisy had a ringing that was worse than the typical throw out bearing noise. the disc pad was not worn at all but the boss was worn and the bearing. I will show this and how to check it in a video coming up very soon maybe before the weeks end.
funny you mentioned this. I think it was last year I did a video when I got my beard caught in a piece of steel shafting as it turned on the metal lathe. it tore out a decent hunk but I got lucky. could have been far worse. I jerked back just in time and only lost a few hundred hairs. no skin thank the Lord!
@3RD Werks its ok that is what makes Bob who he is. we love him even with any flaws he has since we are all far from perfect. life is about choices. you can choose to lift a person by pointing out their strengths or you can bring them down by ridiculing and pointing out every detail they failed at or you disagree with. Bob chooses to not allow people to bring him down by blocking them. that is pretty smart on his part. when a person suffers with depression and mental illness they dont need anyone to bring them down any further than they are. they need folks to lift them up. praise them for what they did right. that is not the same as praising someone for doing nothing so dont get it twisted. Bob is not after a participation trophy he just prefers uplifting support for what he can do over ridicule for what he failed to do or did differently from what someone else may do. life is about choices I hope in the future you will choose to lift up folks like Bob and myself. we are here to help others and offer something good in the spirit of giving. I could easily block you as well but instead I made a choice to merely share with you my thoughts. I hope you will receive them in the positive spirit I offered them. peace love and respect to you and your family.
Hey Dave , I hope i never have to change the clutch on mine . How many hours on your tractor ? Did it fail prematurely ? You've got some guts for digging into that kind of job , I'm gonna follow along ,hope everything comes out good . Don't get hurt most importantly !
we are at 800 hours and 16 years old. I started hearing a rattle coming from the machine. I first thought it was the valves needed adjusting so we did a video on adjusting the valves. that did need doing but did not fix the rattle. so here we are chasing that rattle into the clutch. this has been an adventure and we are now approaching some final steps to get it back together.
@@daveknowshow Ok , I saw the video of you adjusting the valves but didn't know you traced it down to a clutch problem . Thank you for getting back so quickly , I have a L 3400 with almost 400 hours I hope I don't encounter that problem . How common is that , and what caused it ? Thanks for your time & effort .
@@ottostasi8226 I think what caused my clutch issue was age of machine and lack of grease in the throw out bearing. over time the grease got hard from merely sitting. had the tractor been used more the clutch would have been worn out from high hours. so either way at its age in years or hours it needed looking into. your machine L3400 is the sister to this machine L2800. your L3400 has a two stage clutch which is a better design in some cases. just keep a listen to it for any ringing or rattling sounds when the clutch is released. also never ride with your foot on the clutch pedal. you likely know that last one but worth mentioning in case someone who dont know reads this thread.
@@daveknowshow I'm not sure if mine has a 2 stage clutch , I'll have to check on that . Its a great little tractor & I like watching your videos , a lot of good info & you are funny at times . Keep up the good work & be safe
There is no way in hell I would attempt to do that. I would rather be without a tractor than put myself thru that. What does it cost to have it done? Good luck!
I was scared to ask the price. but they said at the dealer it could take 16 hours of labor. if labor cost is 120.00 per hour plus parts that could be getting up there. I'm thinking around 2800.00 or so.
funny you mentioned that. I was just thinking and even said in the video I shot yesterday. that when I was younger I would be cursing and throwing things after this mistake. not so much these days just start over and do it right. you will see that in a future video. it was kind of funny and something I'm sure many can relate to.
@@daveknowshow lol oh i can relate to just about anything that happens or come across when working on any of this brand, at 60 years old i still have a lot of patience's. but these really test me to this day

for sure the prayers help. I could not get through this with the Lords help and the wisdom he has granted me.
Alléluia for that great split and Amen to the best mechanic in the word ( THat You Sir !!! ) Cheers !!!
lol I dont know about mechanic. I'm far from a mechanic. lol maybe a back yard hack. lol ha ha I get by with a lot of help from the Lord.
Sir, the ways of our savior are impenetrable !!! Amen to those who follow his guidance !!!
💥 Love the thumbnail picture. You’ve really got yourself into it now. Thanks for the info on clutches.
*Keep on tractoring!* 😁👍
yes sir I'm knee deep in it now. no turning back! lol
Awesome job, Dave! Like you said, now comes the hard part, but I’m sure you’re up to it. See you on the next one!
hoping it goes smooth. I'm about wore out from this adventure.
Holy Crap Dave!!! You are truly a marvel! And it was great to see you really smile... haven't seen that in a long while. I've never seen you fail at anything and I'm pretty sure you're gonna get through this too. Best always.
its been a tad slow going but I'm getting the job done. its been an adventure.

that is what I tried to do work on through the pitfalls. its been a slow battle.
Haha too funny at the end there! Tractor will be back in no time!
I was ready to dance and felt like I had climbed a mountain. now to climb a little higher and journey back down. its going slow.
Great job Dave. That job is serving two purposes, as mentioned below. Just keep that vision of starting your tractor for the first time after your done. How great will that feel. We're all pulling for you !!
Amen to that. I'm looking forward to getting the tractor back. been a long while with out it.
LOL Love the ending! When you got it apart I wanted to give you applause! lol You did it! Big job! I pray it goes back together for you with easy my friend! Looking forward to seeing what you find. See ya Dave!
thanks brother it was exciting.
