Another BROKEN DEERE....................Replacing Brakes on a John Deere 7R

We have been having issues with plugged hydraulic filters here lately with the 7200R. We ended up finding that the brake disk on the left side was completely gone and ended up replacing the brakes on both sides.

[@oliverknapp3104]

Never ceases to me amaze me how smart jake is and how much talent he has

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yes

[@dormie200]

I thought left hand brake wear would have been a thing of the past. It was however fairly normal on smaller 2WD tractors used for ploughing in the UK way back when reversible ploughs were a new fangled thing.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Makes sense

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Well buddy I hate seeing you have to spend time and money on fixing her but I'm so glad you found it before something else happened great video brother

[@cgarguy7039]

Another interesting educational video Andy, Thx.

[@halwilliams1682]

The thing I appreciate about the Challenger/ Fendt/ Massey tractors is that the oils in the hydraulic reservoir, transmission, and planetaries are all kept separate. If there is a problem in one of those areas, then contamination or damage is less likely to spread to the others.

[@Glein91]

WOW! very interesting to see John Deere brakes. I work with as tractor mechanic. Rely like this videos!!

[@arthurkeler1456]

Andy, is it possible the piston might be sticking on slightly?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I'm hoping operator error

[@stuartgibson1896]

I’d say you do a couple 25-50 hour oil and filter changes on that tractor too.

[@markthomas7270]

It's cheaper to go ahead and change Oil & filters than having to go into the transmission to be repaired!!

[@johnaclark1]

I think he said it was almost full at 98 quarts. That's 25 gallons of oil. Sounds a bit like a swimming pool. You don't change the water every time it gets a little dirty. You treat it and filter it.

[@johnaclark1]

@mashedmitten Seems to me the expert from John Deere told him to change the filter after a few hours of running. Don't recall him saying he was told to change all the oil again. I think I'd take the word of the professional who was on site rather than some "lame brain," arm chair expert on the internet.

[@johnaclark1]

@mashedmitten Lame-brain, hockey puck...quite the vocabulary there. Another Internet arm chair expert. You do realize that he put 98+ quarts in the thing already, right? Sounds like he already drained it and filled it and the expert, you know the one you're smarter than, told him to change the filter again after a few hours running. I'm thinking these guys do this enough, have it under control and don't need your advice anyway. Personally, I'd stick with the JD tech.

[@robert.landwehr9237]

We all like what you do andy thank you sir

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

Andy, I feel like a stud when I change the oil on my JD 5055e or my SVL95-2S then I watch one of your videos and feel so inadequate, almost like an antifa soy boy! ;) Love your vids.

Red, Green, Yellow, etc.... they all break down.

[@robertquast9684]

Red guys say Deere’s are green so they can hide in the weeds when they break. Deere guys say case are red so you can find where you left them when they broke down

[@j.b.maxwell8300]

Andy it could have been a parts failure with that plate broken, the plate may have been faulty to break like that, but really nobody knows what exactly happened, wether it’s operator, parts failure or fatigue, just that it did happen so all you can do is repair it and get it back to work, it’s all part of owning machinery, good vid though very enjoyable

[@georgerodgers4030]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating hi just wondering do you find putting bolt through forks the best way to hold half axle ? Or is a engine heist better? Thanks

[@jonnywilson9117]

@@missymitchell9766 bad state. Tractor was fucked.

[@jonnywilson9117]

@@georgerodgers4030 I'd imagine they use the forklift with a bolt through it, or a Bow shackle because it's far easier to move than an engine hoist. Don't need to be yanking it backwards on the floor to get it to move. That's my assumption to your question. Seems like an obvious answer. but I could 100% be wrong. But it's also a machine they have, and a versatile one at that. I'd definitely use a forklift over an engine hoist. Obviously space is a factor, of which they have ample amounts of.

Good video Andy. I was wondering if that pressure "ring," for lack of a better term, somehow got hung up in the extended position. Kind of like a hung up caliper. Just a thought. That's a nice looking tractor too.

[@recoveryrider6183]

I was surprised, usually wet disk last a long time.

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

Had a company not to far from us that does custom manure hauling. Basically brand new 1038 fendt absolutely destroy the brakes on that tractor. Over $25k in repairs if I remember right.

[@robertlonsdale3826]

anything to do with he lack of brakes on American trailed equipment?

[@ISXCUMMINS565]

Always a good feeling when it works after you get so much time in it👍

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yes for sure

[@SlipShodBob]

You mean it's supposed to work afterwards, I knew there was something I was doing wrong. I never know what is more annoying when you drop something halfway into reassembling something and drop something down inside the belly of it or when you find someone had knocked all the parts flying that you had laid out and just after getting it back together you find one of the bolts, pins or nuts laying just to the side. But it is nice when jobs go as planned with no surprises.

[@ekimdlov4204]

I can see Gomer goober and Barney in the pictures but the guy talk and has to be Otis they are true shade-tree mechanics

thats quite a process to do a brake job , glad you found the problem at the brake and not in deeper $$$$$$$ great video as usual keep em coming !

Holy canoli...seeing that much metal sludge would blow my mind. Curious what the filters looked like after you ran it a couple days?? Great video! Jim.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

They were heavy

[@mikemiller2246]

Would it be smart to lock the brake pedals together during most of your operations with that tractor?A situation like this would be less likely to happen!

[@marknicholson2718]

Is the entire system is contaminated? Usually wet brakes are bullet proof.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yeah everything has to be replaced now…new transmission, differentials, the front hydraulic axle all the components

This is not a cheap fix - but has to be done

[@tcwaterdrill]

Bottom line they just don't make them to last like they use to. John Deere 4010 still going strong, but sure it does not have the power that your 7R has, but it was built to take the power and more than what it was built for. Glad I am retired. Glad to see some people still farming.

I think the major reason why brakes was damaged on the left side is an equal load on both sides. Actually fault was on the right side maybe seal or low hydraulic pressure in brake cylinder

[@grantarollins]

I'm not familiar with the 7 series but on the 8R (8RT in my case) there is a priority valve...when the O rings go it can cause the brakes to drag and do just what you found inside this one. I would look into that so you don't end up doing this again in a couple years.

[@johnaclark1]

[@FrancoisPiquard]

Je suis surpris qu un système de frein à disques plateaux puisse se bloquer ainsi: êtes vous sûr de n avoir pas roulé avec le frein à main serré ? C est un grand classique, car sur certains tracteurs, le frein à main ne verrouille que un seul frein arrière, ce qui expliquerait l asymétrie de la panne... Ou bien un melange non missible d huiles de frein distinctes fait par un maladroit, ce qui aurait grippé un piston?

Hi we run valtra here brakes are discs as well but there 5discs and 3wear plates. Anytime we do brakes we soake the discs in oil b4 we put them in that way they never run dry. We often fill a transmission with say half diesal and half cheap hyd oil run it for few minutes and drain to get as much grit as possible out. Grit is torture to fully get out😣and blocks everything
