- This was quite a job. But it was not my first rodeo. In fact, this was the 3rd tractor that I had to pull apart and replace the clutch. Hope you enjoy my struggle.

I am so happy you made this video. I have to split an 850 and from what I can see it's nearly identical. You probably saved me 2 hours of head scratching!
I was looking for videos to show how to take my John Deere 2020 apart to replace the clutch, and was surprised to see you fixing something other than guitars. You're a real Jack of all trades.
My son works for John Deere and he watching you do all you did. He said that you did a heck of a good job..🇺🇸🌹❤️God bless
Nice job. Owners of a JD950 will appreciate your extra effort in getting it all recorded for years to come. Super.
One thing I've learned from Jerry is to begin with a solid plan but be ready to modify as circumstances require. He has much more patience than I would have in similar circumstances, I think. ;)
Harkens me back to the days of rebuilding our old '46 Ford 8n with my grandad. I learned a lot from that man. "Helping" my Dad was pretty much misery. I was just there as a target for his frustrations. But when l helped grandad, he REALLY let me help. Hands on! I learned A LOT working with him
It is a universal constant: Grandpa's make good Dads! I think it has to do with the "Been there, done that" attitude.
Jerry, everything you just went through on that tractor reminds me of 'almost' every job I ever did as a mechanic all rolled into one. Never had to separate a car in two but had to pull many a transmission off to replace countless clutches over the years. I'm retired now and maybe a year or two your senior but that job you just did would have likely killed me. Whew and a half! My hats off to you. ✌
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a 1050 that needs a new clutch. Thank you!
That was a great great informative video Jerry. I was with you every step of the way even cheering when you got the old gal running!
Doesn’t matter how big or small John Deere’s have been, they all have to be taken completely in half to replace the clutch. I can remember as a child, seeing my uncle putting new clutches in big 8630’s and 8640 four wheel drive tractors. It just amazed me how they could take such a big tractor completely in half. I have searched but can’t find a video of it being done to one of those tractors.
You did a great job because at the end it started back up. God Bless you and the family.
Mr Jerry, those tractors are famous for clutches sticking. When you park it for long times, fully depress the clutch pedal and keep it that way. Make a thing to lock it in the down position.
Hi, Jerry. Next time you need to mess with that wiring harness, you can cut it straight, just a bit toward the front of the engine and you will have room to put in the multi connector and never need to fool with the individual wires again. 😁✌🖖
Congratulations on successfully completing a very difficult repair Jerry...nothing simple about splitting a tractor:(
Mr. Rosa. You are the man. I would never even try to do something like that. In case I mess it up. Fantastic job this was a great video.... wow
Just awsome Jerry
No shame in saying I love you brother Jerry. 👍🤘
That engine runs like a swiss watch. Good job!
Your amazing Jerry, Good job!!!!
Great job! I enjoyed watching that.
Thanks Jerry what a fantastic video great job
Very nice job. The DIY man Jerry!
Thnx for the vid Mr Jerry.
Nice job, Jerry!
Great job Jerry I was rooting for yah all the way,lol,Cheers!persavirance pay's off!
What a awesome video, great job!
Jerry you are definitely Mechanical minded, such a good God given skill. I enjoy your videos...Roger Amos southeast missouri
Well done Jerry. You will be really glad that you took that shaft off and re-lubed it, it should do well now. It could be that when the spring jumped off the clutch bearing, things went wrong, or maybe it came off after the damage was done to the clutch plate. It looks like you did not have any flywheel damage, that's a big plus. Looks like a nice handy tractor. I do wholeheartedly agree that engineers need forethought, but these days they do things the cheapest way and the guy who fixes the machine gets the raw end of the deal !
those Yanmar engines are great. I have a Yanmar 336d that is basically the equivalent of your John Deere. I have my own clutch job to do. your video should help a lot... thank you
Good job! At least you had a little experience. I have a bad clutch in a small JD 27 horse. Don't know where to start.
Mr. Jerry that hose that goes to the tank I think is the fuel valve.
The dark side 😂 y’r’n inspiration!
I had a JD baler and it was the biggest piece of junk. I now have a Massey-Ferguson inline baler that works great. George in Montana
I use Black Mamba gloves around grease and other things I don't want in my skin. Well worth it
surprising😄 clean for manic work ,been an manic for forty years had dirtier jobs
Your video gave me the confidence to change the clutch in my 950! Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video and help others out. What year is your tractor and where did you get your parts?
Jerry, I've seen better legs on a table, lol. Man what a pain to change that clutch! All you need is a radio on it, so you can play that tune, " she thinks my tractor's sexy, it really turn her on". ROTFL
Good one Jerry, love that stuff.
33:30 minutes in, I'd be looking up the recycler's number.😂
You did it nice job Jerry!
needle nose vice grips, well done big job by yourself , the norm now days im afraid, hose looks like tank vent
Jerry, very cool. I grew up on a sheep ranch/wheat farm located up where North Dakota, Montana, and Saskatchewan collide. I remember on time we overhauled a 40s era John Deere model D in the farm shop -- good memories. One thing though -- why don't you stop in to Harbor Freight and buy a box of XL nitrile gloves to keep all that grease off your mandolin picking hands! 😂🤣😂

jerry goes mecanics .
You would’nt happen to have a techometer for the jd950.. I’m in search of one
I agree with your thoughts on engineers making things simpler. unfortunately the newest crop of engineers seem to think that you need to add so many electronics and computer chips that the average joe won't be able to fix anything. job security. " new totally redesigned for 2023. "

I think that might have been easier f you had looked at the shop manual first.
John Deere though doesn't really want you working on your own tractor and is probably leading the field in making it as close to impossible to service them yourself by making as many things linked to some computer sensor or dependent on the computer in some fashion. Eventually you may no longer be able to own a new tractor and may only be able to purchase the license to use it for a year or so along with having to pay the supplier to do all the maintenance. There has been a push to treat it all as annual subscription such as many computer software companies are moving towards though John Deere appears to be backing off a bit on this since January 2023 due to all the push back they've been getting over their policy of denying farmers the right to repair.
Personally I would be inclined to keep the old iron going for as long as possible before buying into the newer stuff much of which may be imported from India, painted John Deere Green and had a new label slapped on it. Worked on a few of those imported John Deere 4 wheel drive diesels and it wasn't much fun.
I'm also inclined towards using multi-pin water tight Molex connectors to splice wiring harnesses instead of using individual barrel or spade plugs if I think there is a high chance that a wire will need to be broken at a particular location again. If its in a very exposed location though I often end up sliding some marine shrink wrap over one side, soldering the connection and then sliding the shrink wrap over the center of the splice so it can be heated and sealed water tight though you have to know how to solder a wire without flowing the solder into the jacket embrittling it.
The friction disk with the splines is the clutch and the housing with the springs and metal plate with fingers that engage with the throwout bearing in it is the pressure plate. I'm presuming you remembered to add the oil or fiber grease to the pilot bearing before sliding the two halves back together. Not much fun having to break it apart again due to forgetting to add a half a teaspoon or so of grease to the pilot bearing. Don't ask me how I know. ;<
Best!
Lost me once you decided to cut and splice the wires. Drives me crazy to watch people take unnecessary short cuts.
