Clean Grain Auger Boot Replacement

After working on the combine for a week and a half, we finally got it put back together and are ready for harvesting.
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.
Be sure to subscribe for new videos every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!

The rest of how farms work is probably the best thing I've heard all day lol. Oh the joys of harvest.

[@tedwpx123]

A farmer has to be a true " Jack of All Trades". Good luck with the harvest

[@jeffmichalek6545]

Hey I'm glad someone else has my kind of luck. Of course if I were doing the video it would have been sunny those day and rained for a week after the combine got fixed. I hate watching "This old house " were they cut out all the problems. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@chriscrosby8012]

Yes indeed!! That’s just life. But you get things done , your loved ones are safe and it’s on to the next situation!! Take care Love the video 🦋🌺🌞

[@andreww.9939]

Glad you’ll be able to get back to harvest soon. Hopefully you can finally get some crops off. Can’t wait for the videos!

[@scottreaugh2386]

Feel your pain with rain. Live in Western PA and we have had incredible amounts of rain.

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Good video Ryan. Don't you just love it when what looks like an easy job turns into a blank, blankty, blank, blank job, that should have been a couple hrs, turns into a 2 week project. Been there done that many, many times. Glad you were able to get the combine back together and ready for harvest again. But it would have been a difficult day if the weather had changed while you were trying to get things going. Glad it all worked out for you. Till Sunday, can't hardly wait until Sunday to see what you have for video. Thanks for sharing......

[@chrismorris308]

The rest of how farms work that could be the title of Rocket's youtube channel 🤣🤣🤣😎😎👍👍👍

[@SLlandscape]

I second this motion. All in favor?

[@christophergoodman404]

Probably had to do a lot of editing to get all the curse words out. 😂🤣😂🤣

[@kristenscott9438]

Totally know that feeling! It can happen to anyone of us! When one thing goes crazy......everything else seems to go nuts!

[@andrewmicas4327]

Its funny when you are laying on your back working on a machine and your dog licks your face and you are helpless, they cannot understand why you are not happy.

[@bummer1961]

Never ending work thanks for all you do

[@jacobsimpson3901]

It happened to us as well Ryan just fixed our combine awsome video

[@SLlandscape]

Love how the dog(assuming rocket) sits in the back supervising the situation😄😄

[@jaybird426]

I'm not a farmer, but grew up in decatur illinois. mt.zion . adm , staleys .soybean corn nation. lol. still enjoy these vids.

[@d6joe]

The LH clean grain cross auger bearing, has a small plate behind it, on the outside sheet metal , that covers a slot. Take the LH bearing, bearing flanges, and plate off. The auger screws out the LH side of the combine.

[@clinthochrein888]

Sheesh! What a job that was.

[@stevemondal.]

Thank you Ryan.

[@cunningjon]

Supervisor Rocket making sure everyone is working safely

[@MatthewHoag77]

The Dewalts got a lot of use in this project, I'm sure. If not for the three of you working together, who knows how long it would have taken? I know this was the "sanitized" version for a family channel, so there's a whole lot more you obviously couldn't include. Thank you for showing us, as Travis said, "The Rest of How Farms Work".

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks for sharing guys..

[@jeremysmits9784]

You guys just created a hybrid KZbin channel, the rest of how farms work! Just think of the opportunity here👍

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yep BIL's 9600 Deere combine decided to open up a slit in the boot last year; we cut and welded a patch over it and it's been good so far, but eventually they wear down to the point that it has to be replaced. They start dribbling grain and it doesn't take much and you've got some real losses. Later! OL J R :)

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I would do without a new piece of equipment before I work in the dirt. I went into debt with my heated shop but I'm so glad I did.

[@HuntGamingProductions]

"welcome back to the rest of how farms work" i never laughed so hard

[@jimcooney9019]

thanks for sharing the video

[@scoutmasterteddy1261]

Nice video! Thank you.

[@joelhenderson5526]

Thanks Ryan good video!

[@vner]

Good work.

[@cashcow9584]

Had the same trouble working on resealing out deere 6310. Fought to get it started under its own power. It turned out to be two itty bitty crushed wires

[@jaredsauer4013]

I know the stress lol. Great little video

[@markhertzog6636]

To answer your first question. Yes everyday.

[@mickoostingh5777]

I like your farm keep it up

[@rednecktvyeet6081]

You should get a grain cart monitor that tells you how meany busols you have and a camera mounted on the end of the Alger

[@markdonelan5423]

Hey Ryan.. great videos both you and Travis do. 1 question, why in your machinery shed you have dirt floor? why not a concrete floor? Wouldn't that be easier to work on.

[@johndeere3743]

Almost 200k keep going

[@albertafarmer894]

Your combine has the same AG LEADER moisture sensor on the clean grain elevator that the s series combines have it's just painted green.

[@rob9346]

nice work

[@АлексейФетисов-е7х]

Отличная работа!

[@05xlt]

“Welcome back to The Rest of How Farms Work” 😂

[@verti7268]

I pressed F5 at least 50 times just to hope to be the first one. Well worth it

[@tommystaylor5808]

Great video Ryan I would like a hat

[@stevenjohnson965]

Go to their store and buy one

[@farmermatt629]

Was that your wife helping you... when the bolt was hot lol sure sounded like a girl hahahaha I couldn’t resist

[@SkinnyBiker]

Grateful I am not alone in the ever growing time it takes to do a project. For me, 20 minutes = 4 hours later... Or if my wife asks how long, I just say, when I'm done.

[@matsskoland1232]

your videos are so good.

[@htrmacdonald]

Yeah it is amazing how those "small" jobs always drag out for weeks. Happens more than I would like to admit for sure.

[@coolklr]

Nice Video

[@dankalisz3235]

Other than changing the Heads..What do you do to your combine to change from harvesting corn to harvesting Beans?

[@lukestrawwalker]

On this particular combine, you swap the heads, then reset the feederhouse speed to minimum for soybeans (so you don't overspeed your sickle knife on the platform-- you often speed it up for corn to increase the gathering chain and stalk roller speed for higher ground speed), then you start the thresher and reset your concave clearance with a button in the cab (electric motor and screw raises/lowers the concave-- tighter for beans, more open for corn), and adjust your cylinder speed up or down for the crop with another button. Then you shut the machine down and manually adjust the precleaner and chaffer and sieve openings for the crop you're harvesting. Whole process takes about maybe 10-15 minutes at most. Biggest PITA is that these Deere's have a "wrench" that you have to climb in on top of the chaff chute on the back of the cleaning shoe and reach up in there to engage "lugs" on the adjusters to set the precleaner, chaffer, and sieve openings... Don't know WHY they did it that way-- heck even my old 1970's Ford 640/ Claas Senator combine had a couple of push-pull rods and knobs on the side of the machine and notches for the adjusters... you just pushed or pulled on the knobs to set the chaffer and sieve to the proper clearances when swapping between crops! The newer machines basically have auto-adjust on them... hit one button and it resets everything from the corn settings to the bean settings automatically... Later! OL J R :)

[@tropicalstorm2030]

Wonder how many times he cussed before it got on lol

[@dylangordon8603]

Iove your video

[@Rick-fx8lh]

Sure hope you checked your clean grain elevator chain. We just had a paddle break on ours and broke our bubble up auger. Precision owes us about 2 grand it’s the second time!!

[@dwightkuster8249]

New chain and sprocket last year.

[@jasonhassen8470]

Yeah, I think most people that choose to do things themselves have had jobs that it's hard to get to the end of them. Love the videos!!!

[@michaelnate9684]

awesome vid ryan we just got our soybeans off

[@caseihman9956]

We replaced the chain o our case 2188 combine last year

[@koreyknafel8621]

Hey just letting you know the clean grain auger screws out on the ladder side of the combine. Take the shaft speed sensor out and it literally screws out

[@HowFarmsWork]

I don’t know about yours, but ours isn’t removable without taking off the bottom plate. We had to screw it in from the bottom to get it back in though.

[@dwightkuster8249]

I checked for that. There is no slot on ours. Should be but there isn't.

[@koreyknafel8621]

Wow that is weird!!

[@koreyknafel8621]

And I’m not trying to argue or anything lol. But I did a 9510 clean grain auger replacement and that’s how it came Out. Maybe there’s a serial number break that it changed. When I was told That’s the way it comes out I couldn’t believe it either till I did it. Kinda weird, kinda cool lol.

[@Farmall450]

Keep up that maintenance, nothing ever goes smoothly.

[@aemt1131]

Was that Rocket I saw sleeping on the Job?

[@HowFarmsWork]

No, I heard managers pretend to do that so they can catch others goofing off on the job

[@bradchoq]

Why didn't you take the auger out the left side, instead of coming out crooked and binding things up out the bottom?

[@HowFarmsWork]

There is no way to take it out of the left side, at least not on ours.

[@bradchoq]

Bear in mind, mine is a 9500- but take the left speed sensor off, then the bearing, then the plate behind the bearing. There should be a slot. Use a pipe wrench or water pumps to turn the auger counter clockwise while pulling to the left. the flighting will cork screw out through the slot. That's how the service manager told use how to get ours out. I find it odd that the new series wouldn't be made that way....

[@danielsweeney6742]

Ok, who here has put together a BBQ and not read directions after putting 80% together realize that you need to pull 79% of what you put together back apart to put in an important part. I will put my hand up now! PS. Today I may not read the direction but I will thumb through them to see if I could miss something while putting it together.

[@craigschofield64]

Never fails no matter what your working on a 15 minute 25 dollar repair ends up being a day and a half at least and $200+ dollars Job....last summer my wife decides she wants to redo our bathroom, budget was $500 for supplies paint wall paper boarder and new floor treatment and a weekend set aside to do her project. Hmmmm, well 2 full weeks later working 8 to 10 hours a day and nearly $4000 dollars later the bathroom was repaired and got the new paint and tile floors along with a new tub toilet vanity, sub floor, floor, tile, new drywall, new window and so on. When I went to paint I noticed the drywall was wet behind the trim upon further inspection I found that the tub drain had been leaking and ruined the drywall and the wood floor including the floor joists so I literally had to tear ou everything and rebuild a complete new batroom. Because that bathroom is above a crawl space we never new the tub was leaking whom ever installed the tub drain never tighten the drain nut for the trap and it has leaked since it was installed, it was here when we bought the house 32 years ago and in 32 years we never once had water on the floor because it all ran into a small crawl space under one end of the house and soaked into the ground. Thank goodness the wife wanted it repainted and new tile because it was a miracle the tub had not fallen through the rotten wood under it. But that $500 turned into a 4k job fast fortunately I am able to do that work myself or it wood have been 10k-12k easy if we had to pay a plumber and carpenter's to do it.

[@aaronbryant1008]

I went into one of my bathroom re-dos knowing some of the subfloor was rotten. After getting through the subfloor i found that the structural floor was rotten in about 30% of the bathroom. I had not manufacture my own 2x7's (yes, 2x7's) and replace almost all of the drywall, plumbing, sewer, tile, tub, and various things. I too was lucky do do everything myself. probably spent about 4 to 5k.

[@craigschofield64]

@@aaronbryant1008 I know one thing for sure I am so thankful to my dad and my grandpa for taking the time to teach me how to work on our things when I was youngster. They literally have saved me and my family 10's of thousands of dollars in my adult life.

[@aaronbryant1008]

@crazy craig absolutely.

[@robertreznik9330]

I guess I am too late! I hope you replaced the auger while you had it apart. I did mine on my 9600 about 20 years ago using an after market to save almost 1/2. Maybe you will be getting rid of the small 9500 if you find more acres.

[@ReolSPro]

why do you record us throwing stuff back in => answer: I´m Ryan Kuster, i have a YT-Channel called HFW, thats what i do !!! lol

[@timfremstad3434]

Ah yes, this is the operation Travis was disCUSSing on his site......
