Case 9350 Steiger Needs some Creative Machining...

[@Plexxarn]

Watching these two working on big machines is so much fun.

[@trevormansfield6740]

I really admire Kevin’s perseverance with this job. Excellent video

[@mikekuschka998]

Someone from Deer would need to program the bushings for the new stuff. Glad to see repair vs replace alive.

[@UncleManuel]

"Don't break my arm!" 😁😁 It's kinda funny to nod to the accident of Scott (Legarms). Everybody saw that at the center pin & bushing replacement of the Big Bud and it's a miracle that he didn't lose his arm after the drawbar fell on him. Working on your own on heavy machinery is always a safety risk. Stay safe, guys! ✌✌

[@marscruz]

Kevin and Rich (and Vince) are the best kind of friends to be. Reliable, helpful, friendly, humorous, dedicated, inventive and productive. You guys are lucky to have each other. So cool to watch all these good things happen because of your talents and hard work.

[@christianwernher9559]

I am always happy to see Kevin in the videos. He is such a nice guy.

[@Woodie-xq1ew]

Kevin explaining how he was going to use the steering hydraulics to split the tractor apart is brilliant and such a farmer fix

[@larrydavidson3402]

Love when the two of you work together. You are totally in sync.

[@caveone-365]

Kevin is the man, and definitely my favorite person you put on your channel Rich! You guys are hilarious when you're together too, it has to be a good time in real life, you guys are just all laughs. Makes me wish I was there in person to witness and contribute to this funny ass shit. Certainly is a good time turning wrenches when you can enjoy it, and make light of a rather involved job with a good buddy 👍👍😎

[@Modlendingen]

Really enjoyed this video, keeping the old Steiger working :) And everyone should have a Vince in their toolbox, no doubt... Is it possible to do a "farm tour" and look at some of the different machinery, some history about them and what Kevin has been wrenching on them, and future projects :) Keep safe and farm on!

[@broxy55]

Wasn't going to comment because enough people have already. .. . but, no, I need to add another post praising Kevin. He's the f-MAN!!!! I enjoy these videos sooo much!!!! I worked with a CPR welder, and we were working on a large scale steel sculpture, and he could perform magic with a torch. He learned everything working at the railroad, went to art college, then back to CP. No force to manipulate mangled train cars, just heat in many cases.

[@niteninja0133]

Kevin needs to have his own channel, I love it when it's a episode with him in it

Mad respect to all farmers. They will finish ANY task. No matter what.

[@rustynail2205]

When Kevin backed out at 55:45 you can totally see how the window would be blown out. Nice to see the windows replaced too. Love these farm jobs with Kevin

[@Muffin_Masher]

Everybody needs a Vince in their life :) man has got SKILLS and isn't too good for flux core :D

[@TheChunky2010]

I’m with Kevin. It’s new oil, better than filtered😂

[@BigFarles]

Poor Leg Arms will never live that down. You guys need to collaborate again soon.

[@AdriaanVerburg]

Have they done stuff together?

[@BigFarles]

@@AdriaanVerburg yes I can’t remember what video.

[@DirectCurrent4u]

Great to see this Machine repaired and back to work again! Keep up the good work!👍

[@jimlondon1]

Those tractors are worth their weight in gold. I did a season seeding in one in western Australia in 2008 the farmers had tried different brands over the years, (versatile, ford, j.d etc an nothing could beat the Stigers. They put the power to the ground so much more. The good ones can last 20,000 hours and the bad ones 18...

[@matthewb8229]

I can't tell you how much I enjoy the episodes with Kevin. Well, I can tell you, but it's hard to describe accurately.

[@Danger_mouse]

Watching the video, I appreciate how spoilt I've been over the years in Underground hard rock mining in Australia. We've always had access to mobile guys to come out linebore our worn machines. We clean up the drill rig/truck/loader etc and split them, and the contractor sets up his gear and works his magic. We whack in the new bushes and send it back to the rock-apes to smash it up again 🙂 I guess Vince is your 'contractor', great job 👍

[@jxh02]

Thank you so much for doing these! It's a privilege to hang out with you guys.

[@ricardopereira771]

It's really amazing how good Kevin is as a mechanic... Considering he is a farmer... He is a better mechanic that most mechanics

[@jimkennedy2708]

Winter is slack/repair time, summer is work and tear it up time, as a rule farmers have to be mechanics

[@jayruel8586]

He used to be a Case mechanic But most farmers I know are good mechanics

[@letsgetsteve]

I have had a 120mm spherical bearing that wore out its mount work for half a decade when I needed to fix the bore with Devcon and the emergency repair lasted for 5 years before we got a chance to replace the mount. Its pretty amazing how well steel putty can work sometimes.

[@notsofresh8563]

The jab at Legarms at 10:37 is great.... 🤣

[@ruperts23]

Love it when Kevin uses the ‘here we go’ line!!

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Thats a pretty fancy fix, I almost can't call it farmed up 😅 every farmer would be blessed to have a friend like you that can fix just about anything.

[@geraldgepes]

Kevin, Rich, I've done barely any heavy equipment/ag repair but, did a lot of high precision spindle and gearbox building back in the day. So, the little tidbit of wisdom that I can share on projects like this is simple, keystock is your friend. On proper hardened bearings and bushings (any roller bearing and I suspect most of these bushings), we'd never use brass or aluminum punches, always keystock. It's a uniformly soft grade of steel so, it won't damage a hardened surface and as you use it, you can see any burr well before it gets ready to drop off into your bearing/gearbox. So, normally every month/week/day, you dress them up on a grinder to have a nice smooth face. My personal preference is toward oddball sizes of keystock. My go to is a piece that is 8mm thick by 12 or 14 wide and a foot long. That way, I can normally get the 8mm side into a tight spot, once a radius is ground on the end, it sits on a bearing lip rather well and the length just saves the back a bit. Obviously, in a tight spot, you might need to lop some off. I'd say 90% of the time in every shop like that I've been to, the bearings are sweat fit (freeze the shaft, warm the bore), from there methods differ. On new install, I've seen really nice press set ups and exacting shrink fits that let everything just fall into place. But, there always ends up being plenty of cases where something is getting hit with a hammer. Oh and if every you're in a bind because you do manage to get a bunch of dirt on a new bearing, according to an SKF rep, they recommend using Scott toilet paper to wipe them clean. Not sure the brand really matters but, I guess between the biodegradable fibers, small fiber size and relative purity, it'll break down with time in bearing grease and not damage the rollers.

[@LarryYaw]

I love watching Kevin work threw a problem. He makes things seem so simple. What a awesome guy. He needs his own channel or at the least he needs to pop up on this channel more!

[@heath8779]

I find using an electromagnetic drill is perfect for drilling broken bolts as the angle doesn’t change as you apply more or less pressure to the job 👍 The fact that those bolts pushed through took all the fun out of it, such is life. Thankyou for sharing 😎

[@FoolOfATuque]

Always good the see guys thinking with their heads and not their hockey sticks.

[@Maseraux]

So satisfying seeing crusty old machinery getting proper parts, maintenance and repair

[@TechOne7671]

Braw job lads. You guys just set about the job, a solution to every problem and issue along the way. No dramas or hype BS turning the video into a soap opera. And a good laugh to watch. All the best.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

My kind of video! I started farm equipment maintenance with my own little business when I was 14! I've been in HD equipment maintenance most all my life since. Love Kevin's ingenuity and can-do attitude! Great work guys! Now we just need MORE!

[@mrb1864]

Kevin is pure gold, even my wife loves him . Loved the swing press lol . One of those sucky looking jobs that actually worked out not so bad . Good job jobbed & I gained some extra enthusiasm to tackle some extra sucky jobs .

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

It´s not stupid when it works! I like You Guys, no matter what You always have fun. Very much like the attitude!

[@chloehennessey6813]

Yay! Kevin’s back! An easy way to get bushing out, Kevin! My grandpa and dad just put a quick bead of weld in the bushing across it. They usually fall right out.

[@Skwisgar2322]

RIP air jack fitting.

[@buillioncubes]

I like that they didn't comment on it, just operated it manually for the rest of the video.

[@ubuntu1004isthebeast]

the hydraulic knock out tool for making holes in electrical boxes has a really nice pull cylinder that works great for pulling bushings I've done a lot of cam bearing that way.

[@gordonborsboom7460]

Jim’s automotive machine channel welds inside a bearing race to remove it. As it cools it shrinks the OD and it falls out. Similar to the technic (?) of heating the race to expand it to red hot, then the cooled part is smaller at the end

[@jeremiahsherman1190]

I love the Kevin videos great guy he never gives up most people would just throw in the towel facing any job on the Steiger

[@jonathankeith2547]

Love these videos on the Steiger, I have a 9330 with 12 speed power shift and fortunately all the pivot bushes have already been done before I bought it, but it is great to see the process

[@GaryLX870D]

Shout-out too Kevin.. Nicely done 👍

[@patricelebrasseur5649]

For those bushing repair green locktite is great when you can't get it perfect, Also you can buy carbon slug or aluminium round for backing up, however overwelding and running a reamer with a mag drill is the best option

[@oliversnow]

Great video. Takes me back. Those through bolts on the lower ball joint plate seem like a lot of trouble. When the heads inevitably get rubbed off from the bottom the plate can separate and then the whole thing disintegrates as you already experienced. I’d definitely keep an eye on those bolts or convert that to threaded hole like the back.

[@keithmunz4160]

It’s so nice to see Kevin helping Vince with the cafe motorcycle. It’s starting to get warm, I rode mine to work today.

[@tomcleghorn4005]

It’s always nice too see Kevin. A fella gets the feeling he could share a cold neck with that guy

[@tkhaskett09]

I’ve always followed the instructions printed on the side of the filters as far as pre-filling them, some tell you to, some don’t, figured that’s the way to go. Will forever be a point of contention with some I’m sure lol. Good vid folks.

[@danieledwards1081]

The only filters I don't prefill are the ones that mount upside down or on their side

[@jerryb1234]

I'll never understand why I find these two knuckle-heads so damn entertaining, awesome job guys,😉👍, and thanks for sharing.

[@Skusty]

What a treat, a one hour video with Kevin!

[@slowlearner984]

"Swinging press". Love it. Gold.

[@PorscheRacer14]

Pretty interesting. The only tractor we've ever split was our 6588 to replace the clutch; about three times or so. It seems like a big deal but since the 6588 is a 2+2, it's essentially a front with DT466B and axle hinged to a cab and axle from a 3688. But when we got our green Steiger, I think it was a Panther, thankfully nothing like that was needed. I don't think I'd be attempting something like that. Interesting to see how you folks went about it though! Always like seeing these old workhorses keep on working the fields.

[@peddlinjohnny4346]

Kevin seems like a super smart guy. What a legend!

[@bradanderson1627]

Nothing like feeling the ground vibrating from the Engine as it rolls by .

[@mfranzusan3014]

Case did their oil filters the same way. Upside down because it was only partial filtration. Oil filters were generally an option on Case tractors, like the VA. because the oil pressure was minimal. You were lucky to get 15 psi cold. Filtration was done through gravity. If you ever took apart one of those oil filters, it's just stacks of cotton discs. If you applied 40 psi to that construction, the oil would float in between the disks and not filter anyway. A filter housing was also an option with partial filtration. You wanted slightly higher pressure, you deleted the filter housing and changed the oil twice as frequently.

[@danf4616]

Takes a special kind of patience to fix these house-sized machines! 👍👍

[@errolnkh1776]

😅😅 I like Kevin, reminds me of my father. If you sleep on it, you will come up with an ingenious fixing manual for all old farming equipment

Really enjoy the equipment videos, figuring out how to rig and support everything is fun to watch.

[@lukeryan3914]

On the international dt series engines that I used to work on the oil goes to the filter last so you never need to prime them cuz it doesn't matter. Its after everything else.

So much for the people who think farmers don't do anything. It doesn't look like it's been to close to a grease gun lately. Good video.

[@anomamos9095]

If you have a good magdrill you can use it to bore accurate holes in areas that you cannot fit a line borer. You can either fit the drill with a boring attachment instead of a chuck or use a high quality hole saw/drill.

[@CrimeVid]

For the old glass guy that had problems with silicone sealant, Dow Corning’s Aquarium will do the job, it will hold tons of water so a truck window should be no bother !

[@NFSGamerful]

Kevin is a true legend, he needs one of those pneumatic hammers though, those are a god sent for stuck pins

[@Kowyn]

We had the bushing on one of the steering rams in the JD644 go like that lower pivot did on that case, it came apart and gouged the shit out of everything totally destroyed the cup, last year we just welded a decent used bushing in but this year we pulled the ram and are in the process of making a new end for it, need to weld some frame cracks too.

[@jamesbruno5896]

Nice job guys!

[@paulmartin8212]

Now that was a BIG job well done. thanks for sharing with all of us. I think I could do mine now if I had one.

[@stevebulach5198]

FILTER WILL NOT COME LOOSE by doing this.On my Machines, especially if the fuel or oil FILTER tents to rattle loose, I put a HOSE CLAMP around it, so that the screw part can rest on a part of the engine (Or housing/something) which intern stops the filter from unwinding..... This is especially good because you don't to tighten crap out of it, which means it's easier to get off again....

[@COM70]

Loved every second of it ! Thanks lads 👍

[@jeffsnider3588]

I have seen copper and ceramic "back up bars" used during weld build up. The coffee cup is a good idea.

[@ForfeMac]

Liquid nitrogen works really well for bushings, with a little gentle heat in the parent metal. Now that I have my own shop I keep a 30l dewar full of it around, only costs me about $20 at my local praxair to fill it up, and it generally lasts me two or three weeks depending on how many bushings I'm doing and how hot it is. But if you're just doing a one off job and don't want to buy a dewar, acetone or denatured alcohol and dry ice from the grocery store works almost as well.

[@donaldlawton7384]

I always wondered how those pivot bushings were changed. Thanks guys

[@timothymilam732]

Poor Kevin, I do know his pain, not nearly on the scale he's dealing with, but tractors are such a PIA. Even if you exceed the manufacturers hourly maintenance requirements. Change if subject here I know, but the man editing these videos dam sure earns his money. I can't imagine the amount of hours he spends with headphones no listening to BloobTubes canned music, in hopes of finding enough suitable music to fill his needs, and something that he fines to his liking. I'm just glad that he does care enough about what he's doing, because he does have very similar taste in music as I have. Content is usually spot on as well, although not a Large fan of using the time laspe to fill content. I do understand the reasons it's done, but it's gotten to the point that everyone has gotten in the habit of using too much, it takes away part of the reason some folks are tuned in to a video based upon the subject in the title, are descriptions Just my two cents worth, not that mine matters compared the hundreds of others that may or may not say one word one way or another

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Great to see Kevin working on ‘Curtiss’…😏 It’s amazes me how much you can learn by watching Mates just working through a process.
