Axle Repairs On The John Deere 7520- 48 Years Of Wear & Tear

[@keithcarlson8455]

WE DWARVES ARE NATURAL SPRINTERS; VERY DANGEROUS OVER SHORT DISTANCES. Love how you dive balls deep into the repairs on this utter beast of a machine. That thing scares the shit out of me just looking at it.

[@bobberg3010]

Love the older equipment no stupid computers no Def and when you need them to start they start right up

[@csippel1]

Clean everything

[@johnmauerman7480]

Way to keep the old giant going Love these old workhorses

[@harrytaylor6854]

nice when a plan comes together well done

[@jbocj7]

This video was awesome, love watching the work on the 7520

[@toddlowery1738]

You are the man Duffy. Can't wait to see that beast in action pulling the chisel plow🤙🤙

[@usmctanker7729]

Gratz on the rebuild on your beast of a machine. I don't care what people say about the brand new equipment in farming in my eyes the Old 50s-late 70s equipment is made tough as F$$$ & It does its job & Last 10 times longer than anything they manufacture today. When it comes to repairs its pretty straight forward & no need to replace computers etc. I can't imagine working on today's equipment when it has issues same as cars & trucks its a bloody nightmare to work on them & way they are built from factory.

Chris I know you are detail oriented but in my experience you might want to wipe off all the old oil and grease off the assembly. In the near future if something leaks you will notice it rather quickly vs adding another layer onto those surfaces. Ask me how I know this ...brand new seals leak occasionally and let go ...it was an expensive lesson for sure...great project and video thanks for bringing us along

[@poupy132]

Great progress. L9ve the 7520

[@johnnyholland8765]

FINALLY! I have been watching that front end wobble for ages and warning you hey you need to check that front end... You got very lucky on the housing. That bushing was getting paper thin. Good job. Now no more wobbly front end and I don't have to beat you up about it anymore. Be careful going back under that tractor. It should last another 48 years...

[@thomasjunkins6491]

Your 7520 is my favorite tractor 🚜 on KZbin

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Chris endless times great job. Is it okay I come by and help out? You have a good rest have a good one.

[@Nobody-Nowhere-USA]

Great work! I think this is going to be your best season ever! You have such a good work ethic that we are all hoping for your success! Please remember when heating a race or bearing, so you don’t damage or soften it do not heat above 275 degrees. If you are freezing a shaft or bearing and a regular freezer doesn’t shrink it enough, you can use dry ice to get it much colder (smaller) , if that is still not enough then you can pore acetone over the dry ice, the extreme evaporation temperature of the acetone will drop it as much as another 80 degrees! Just NEVER put dry ice into acetone, always has to be the other way around for safety!

[@FuelMan]

On some of those hard to reach spots you ought to install some remote grease fittings

[@uhplumber5962]

Looking forward to seeing all of your hard work put to use this season.

[@mattperry3913]

My dad friend /cowork was killed doing that same job . They worked John Deere dealership. Jack failed on him crushed him . Be careful. Just bring back memories.

[@thomasjunkins6491]

Sharing your videos Duffy with my Facebook family 👪 and friends!

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Great job Duffy loved it never miss one can't wait for next one thank you for sharing and your time was really great can't belive how bad all the bushings were and thin wow nice job.

[@dana9265]

That groove on your yolk that looks like where the seal rides they should've sent you a speedy sleeve to make sure it's a good fit but maybe they don't make them but it's gonna look good once you're done

[@davidalsum7713]

Glad to see 7520 being worked on, need it to get the most out of ur manure, especially this year & probably in the future

[@chandlerchurch1248]

Tech tip with those inner bushes and Inner bearing races just take welder a put a bead of weld around the inside the will shrink and fall right out as they cool

[@lesterburritt2038]

Can't wait to see it in the field. Duffy you need to add a 5020 along side the 7520

[@edh8144]

You should be able to get a speedy sleeve for that yoke. Some local supply house that sells seals and such should be able to get something for you.

[@stanb2464]

great work Chris! thanks for bringing us along!

[@davidkimmel4216]

Wonderful job. Nice progress. Every day closer 🤗🤗

[@thomasjunkins6491]

Nice

[@Rumblestrip]

Cool congrats on getting the big horse started

[@dennisjohnson3928]

A 1 job 👏 duff

[@Citydrifter]

Hot damn getting work done!!!

[@coryike2631]

Solid work👊👊

[@br927]

we put a pressed on bearing on a PTO shaft, put the shaft in the freezer, bearing in the oven, next day slid the bearing on the shaft where it was to be, and when it came to temp, on! put ball joints on a car that way, goes easy!

[@peterwoollard288]

Good work .....Chris

[@arthurlapp9818]

I use 6x6 and 4x4 stacked up and a 2x6 under my ratchet when I don't have help to hold it when working underneath, takes longer but you can get somethings done when you are alone

[@robertquast9684]

A machine shop should be able to machine that yoke and sleeve it or check into a speedy sleeve

[@kdh1309]

The Beast is alive !

[@johnwudarcki9315]

Hope you got that snap ring going the right direction.

[@thomasjunkins6491]

I think we need to take up a collection for new Firestone rubber on all 4 🌽 ers of the 7520.

[@djbennett6616]

7520 Straight MERICA there all you need is a cold beer and several thousand acres to run

[@larryshipman248]

You are a amazing mechanic. I can't believe J. D. didn't put diff. lock in that beast. What were they thinking ?

[@johnnylindsey5808]

The pro should run off counter shaft which turn all the time when the engine is running till you mash the clutch then rpm makes it turn faster is that the way you have yours.

[@williammatzek4660]

Duffy are you referring to Abilene machine , Abilene Kansas?

[@DuffyAg]

Yes I am have bought alot from them

[@garyfaulds2008]

What size of rain cap for muffler.

[@csippel1]

Spray some cleaner on everything you are going to get dirt in it take the time and clean it

[@tonyfranconejr6092]

Its not leaking, just marking its space

[@allhailthewatcher7310]

Thats heavy duty repairs man.can the 7520 shift from 2wd to 4wd for road travel ?

[@deerefredj5975]

NO ...they were full-time 4wd like the 8630-40's etc , not like the MFWD tractors .

[@frankziccarelli8438]

How about a wear sleeve for that 700 dollar yoke

[@randybennett5417]

The state of Massachusetts needs to buy you a new big tractor.

[@DuffyAg]

The state doesn't buy me anything tho
