Goodness gracious man. You will tackle anything and do all by yourself. The weight you are messing with. Pretty scary. Well done. Thanks for the content.

Its funny how year 2 of corn shows what you should have done the year before...

Hi Jon I wrote to you on my 4020 power shift a few weeks back. it would pull with inching pedal down. I rebuilt the c1 pack, also went through the shift, clutch valves, changed all springs, and even put in a new clutch valve in the housing, it was alittle scuffed.. Now it pulls more now than ever, but now no clutch pressure when pedal is down, I can't even do the drag test.. I put the 7 gauge set on it and all packs shift correctly, pressures are good. I can hold the clutch down and shift slowly, the tractor will move when 3rd thru eighth are engaged.. Deere did send me disks that changed numbers. I keep reading this manual and I'm not sure where the problem is. I was wondering if you had an idea? are the new disks the problem? Thanks again.

2018 800 xcr switch back completely stock did 116 mph

You make it looks so simple. I remember trying to put a transmission back together. I had to take so many breaks. I think it was about 2 week when all was said and done, lol.

Man I like watching these videos but John I have no understanding how they work.

You should be teaching a young apprentice all of this.

That is a lot of work! Hopefully everything works

Jo can i call you about my 4000 John Deere

Another informative and entertaining video. Good to see you again. Keep up the good work.

why is the pressure in the rotating clutch lower than in other clutches?

Loving the rebuild, Jon. Keep em a coming pal 👍🏻

So impressed on how you have done this! Hope the rest comes together!

Great Job! Nothing beats tracks, less compaction and much easier and safer on the highway.

Hope its successful because thats going to be a big pain in the arse to put those wheels back under.

This is an epic project. You deserve an award.🏆

Now will the wheels ever get under the other one? If was mine it would probably be awhile

Thanks we are fighting a oil pressure gauge at this time on my 4440

Osha approved stands for sure.

That's a huge job and you got it done! (at least the scary part). Rest is "easy".

Looks like a job for Superman. I need to set aside a Sunday to come up and visit before it’s too cold.

It took you 3 hours to do because you didn't snap your fingers... 😂

👍🏻

Awesome job phenomenal video. Watched it on the big TV. You are now a big star on TV in my home. Be careful have fun.

That looks awesome good luck with it!

Thats a hell of an upgrade. And that for only a song and a dance! Looking very slick!

Holy buckets nice job Jon

You're scaring me.

One has to appreciate your bravery.

John, I am trying to split my late 4020, I have taken out the 6 big bolts and the 4, half inch oil pan bolts, have stands for the front and back, can NOT get it to roll apart, any suggestions? Any help is very much appreciated, thank you

Wow so glad and surprised to hear from you does that 2955 need torn apart to bleed the clutch(the dealer is not in a hurry to help me out

My dad and I have a2955 that the high low range went out of sent to j Deere dealer they fixed the high low but now you can’t shift with out grinding gears - do you have any ideas or advice

I might have missed it, but congrats on 10K subscribers!

I use my 4020 and a 4/16 John Deere trailing plow from the mid 60s. Since my tractor is set up for 30 inch rows, I swing the drawbar to the left so the tractor wheel is square in the furrow. That is the single big reason I have not purchased a 4/18 semi mounted plow with auto reset and much more clearance for crop residue. If I did eventually make that, switch, think I would try to find an Oliver plow. I only plow for, like you said, clean up a field or plant a new hayseeding.

Another great video, always informative and entertaining

I hear ya on fixing an old combine. Mine is a 30 year old case ih 1688. It’s got 5800 hours so I’ve put lots of parts on it. I think your on right course tracks would be so nice

Haha. Well i get laughed at for some of the things I do to avoid debt and be as self-sufficient as possible. Wonder what the neighbors will think next year when they see the AC 66 All Crop combine cutting oats and rye next year. Nobody wants to mess around doing any custom work for me due to the smsll acreage and those crops are not common in my area anymore.

At 5:33 That's the style plug we use in Europe for road lights

Great job promoting the message "we gotta keep out of debt/stop playing that game". All your work strip tilling and pulling back the amount of inputs needed is the same direction too. Farming needs to be out from under the Banks.

Im still running old Massey 850's , last one i gave $1700 for it , runs pretty good.

big project

You don't just do things by half Sir!! best wishes for a successful result. Dan

"We need to get out of debt yeh" I've been trying since 97 but the debt gets bigger. The impact gun sound effects were very accurate. Hope all is well.

Its been a few year now. But I had a guy call wondering what it would cost to buy the parts to go from a non HP to a HP feeder house. Its north of $50,000 in over the counter to buy all the parts.

Shoot, could you put a grease zerk on those splines going to the final drives from the transmission? Even though not much sliding action, but the constant vibration and torque load/unload... new holland has greasable splines on their machines. Really all splines and shafts should be greasable. Nervewrecking to me 😅 Hope it all works out and no big surprises. Crazy how heavy those tracks and axle are... but in hindsight they gotta carry a lotta weight around! Not sure how big your grain tank is, but adding in weight of the header too probably gets over 40,000 lbs on the front?

I like this project. Stuff always looks worse to take apart than it really is. If you see me buy a tractor with A/C then you know I'm doing good financially. 😂

Wow , this is an exciting project Jon.

Enjoyed it as always sir. Seems a little crazy or nerve racking to be pulling your combine apart just a few weeks from harvest though. But hey, I'm here for the show! Lol God Bless and stay safe.

You don't have to crank the hell out of that hydraulic fitting, but many of us would anyway...That's a big project. You're making good progress! Hope you have a good one, Jon

That age thing is coming through and if it were mine, I'd get the tracked axle under there tomorrow. Something tells me a combine falling off the logs to the ground is something to be avoided.
