4455 John Deere steering repair

Pulling the front axle to access the loose steering arm on the 4455.

Stay out from under those suspended loads, dammit! 😂

[@brettgoodman4360]

I have been watching your videos pretty much since you started doing them, and I don't see you taking unreasonable risks. My dad had an accident and was killed hoisting a forklift mast off so I am hyper sensitive about suspended loads. I notice that you stop and think before making a pick and work to the side of suspended loads. We will never be able to eliminate all risk and get the job done. Keep up the good work and don't worry about the bitchers.

[@brucenadams1]

I had back surgery about a week ago and I have been watching many of your videos. I was about Eli's age when I started helping my Dad fix large trucks and tractors. My job was getting a wrench or socket or air line so my Dad could get done early. Your videos bring back lots of great memories. We had Mitzie and Penny as shop dogs. You learn a lot about life fixing equipment. Your learn to be persistent, creative, understanding, and humble enough to admit that you screwed that up. I went to college, got married, spent 7 years in the US Navy and finally settled into a career of information technology. Computer servers don't knock when hot or drip lube oil out of the main seals, but they have their own set of problems. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@mikechavis3236]

Yes, PLEASE. A video of your troubleshooting, parts and information sources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do.

[@rgr3427]

God Bless ya, Safety harnesses so you don’t fall out of the wagon, PDOT (Prairie Department of Transportation) with mandatory wooden spoke inspections. Thanks for the videos, found your channel recently and making my way through them. Glad to see someone out there can still work on the machines that built this country and are still keeping us alive and fed today. Thank you sir and Happy Thanksgiving.

[@bigjim5723]

i don't remember what western i saw back when, but as they was letting wagons down a cliff(lol) a woman fell out of the wagon, and was pretty broken up-bones, probably her insides too--but the wagon ended up running over her, as the rope which they was using broke-which then left the wagon to run off, thus throwing her out. so if she had been harnessed in--she would of lived thru-cause i don't think the wagon upset at the end.

[@dharmi44]

Warren, love your channel, regarding your Safety rant (your 100% correct) here’s my favorite quote of all time: “The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.” H.L. Mencken

[@wyattsaemrow3475]

When you were talking about safety it reminded me of this last summer. Around the end of the summer my cousin was loading the bail trailer I was pulling with our 4760. He was using our bobcat s590. It has no glass/door and we do not use the seat belt. We were hauling bails out of a patch that had a steep ditch bank that was made so the road could be cut through. Being him dumb dumb he had backed up to the bank to get at a bail in order to tare up the least sod possible. In the process he got his back wheels off the edge, when he realized he gunned it in reverse to save himself but the back bottom edge caught on a ledge and he went nose over backasswards landing on the roof remarkably he got out without even a scratch with no glass he was able to get out just fine. With out using the belt it saved his legs and nuts and he was able to land on his back instead of head. Yes the skid steer ran on oil for a bit. But the way the air cleaner was designed the oil ran to the filter and clogged it up before the engine was ruined. We still use the thing as our main skid steer tho the roof has a 1.5in bend in and the side panels are caved in but it still purrs like a kitty.

[@johnhatfield5877]

Thanks warren love seeing Eli, also your son , it is good to see that you have someone around to help, and the videos

[@n2slugs]

I’m forever fighting those lines in front of the condenser leaking on my 4440. I’ve braised the tank up top and replaced just about every line at least once. During haying season this year it was the cooler itself that needed replacement. The system they used just didn’t seem to stand up once the machine got some hours on it. She was good for the first 35 years I’ve owned it but the last few have been a greasy pain.

[@jerryglen986]

Nice to see Blake out there working with you.

[@jtthill5475]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. You're absolutely right. OSHA in the days of moving West and we would never have got there. LOL Harness and wagon wheel inspections would have been a hoot. Don't think you're old enough to remember 'Lost in Space'. "Danger danger, Will Robinson" That oil bath your sleeve got brought back memories of pulling a trans in a junk yard, too many years ago to mention. Nice job dropping the front end. Thanks for sharing

Morning Warren, thanks for sharing nice to see the help in the shop. Watch out for the safety Police. Have a good week and a we'll deserved day off for Thanksgiving

[@hank5655]

I admire the determination about fixing it rather than waste your energy getting mad, just one little thing about your safety on your cable on your winch, where the hook is located, you have 3 u-bolts holding the cable but I was always taught to not put them all on the same way they should be threads on one way then the other threads pointed other way, it spreads out the clamping force makes it a whole lot safer. I am not trying to put a good guy down, but keep a good man safe, wish I could be there to help!

[@canuckyank82]

[@scottgm321]

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." An ounce of grease is worth a pound of $100 bills. One of my favorite jobs when I worked off shore was climbing to the ends of the crane booms out over the water and greasing the pulleys. Safety is what you want it to be. After getting rust rings in my eyes, I wear safety glasses when grinding. A friend of mine didn't have time for jack stands for the quick job he was on and the car shifted when he pulled hard on something and the jack flipped and now he has hinge pins in his jaw and stainless steel pins and screws going the radius of his jaw and dentures now. Great video though. I love fixing stuff too.

Well I know one of them is a snowflake that complained about Warren's greasy, dirty hands once, the guy said he was deeply offended to see it. So Warren came back with black oil from elbow on down and said deal with it. Just like today, I'm a laughing about Warren's purported lack of feelings anymore been stepped on so much they don't be working. This is the first channel I look at, been that way since I found him.
