John Deere 720 Diesel Engine Gear Re Assembly...Will Dad's Favorite Tractor Plow Again?

[@jeffkluesner1895]

Glad to see the 720 back together nice job good luck from the eastern Iowa plow boys

[@garymessina1609]

Good job great video thanks Brandon and George and dad

[@corsairsmitty9691]

Glad to see it is coming back together. I have missed the 720 on the channel.

[@robertfoote3255]

The 720 & 730 are as good as it gets! 🤠 Only a spoker flywheel D will make me smile more! It just has a special place in my ♥️

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

That was cool, though it was kind of a teaser,lol. I could have watched it go all the way back together, lol. Not that I will ever do this stuff, but I really enjoy watching it. I just wish I could smell the awesome smell of the shop. I've always loved the aroma of working on machines. There's just something about working on machines that is awesome.

Enjoying the rebuilding of the Deere, Brandon, Dad and George....just don't let mom you borrowed her deep fryer, 😂👍🍻

[@scottreasoner6126]

Used to rebuild screw machines. That is how we used to heat the bearing up is with a old deep fryer.

[@larrywalker7759]

Whup, time to take a break and watch this.

[@joeyheatherjosephprice1520]

Makes me wish that I'd kept my old 730 gasser! Extremely stout ol tractor for the day and ahead of the times in regards to the reared as far as hydraulics, independent pto and 3 point hitch. Not many plow days down here in KY but would've been pretty sweet to have to run up and made new friends in Indiana! Great video Brandon and keep'em coming

[@peteschiavoni]

I’m so happy to see dad’s tractor coming out of its heart transplant. Lol

[@hermanbishop5275]

If you don't have one already, take an old file and grind end like a wood chisel, makes the absolute best scraper for old gaskets

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Brandon :) also 350 'F for 30 mins and 300 'F another 30 mins on engine oil 15W40 does wonders agree 👍 in cook pot for gears plus me also my late dad had do on combine bearing replacement also gear to and surprises us help lots in shop of machinery shed ! Even Hand Mill too when rebuild to in Winter Season and one tractor PTO gear set up ! Does wonderfull work and save risk breaking or chip gears !

[@brittblanton8342]

Thanks Brandon that was awesome the way you heated the gears in oil and they slid right on 👍

[@artillerest43rdva7]

Mercedes- Benz fuel pump is set up the same way you have to heat up the parts for interference fit. when they are hot they slide down in place, as they cool they shrink tight in place.

[@seancombs499]

Just remember don’t ever put ur fingers where ya wouldn’t put ur 🐔Brandon lol. Nice shirt got that one too

[@crookedaxle]

Every time I see a video of an old 2-cylinder diesel being torn down and worked on, especially Pony Start Diesels, one of my recurring thoughts is that these must have sure been expensive to build for Mother Deere back in the day compared to what the competition was building. e.g. IH 660/SWD-9, Case 900, Oliver Super 99 Detroit Diesel vs. JD R, 80, 820, 830.... IH 560, Case 830, Oliver 880, AC D-17, vs. JD 730

[@jeffmcinnis9443]

If you would have used peanut oil you could have cooked some fish after you got the gear on lol

[@fredscott9090]

Is that factory wide front? My 730 diesel gramps got in 60 from Rickerts Winchester In has aftermarket wide front.

[@dadigitechman]

How did you get that crank gear off?

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Pulled it off with a 2 jaw puller kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXW0haeohb-nec0si=5PkmnBBrXUTj6qJG

[@dadigitechman]

@dirtgrainsteel hey thanks man, ill check it out.

[@dirtgrainsteel]

@dadigitechman your welcome you could also put alittle heat on it just don't get to crazy with the heat

[@andyanderson9165]

That was a short video

[@timeinbu7909]

Where is your brass hammer ?

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Next to my plastic hammer in the tool box drawer just in front of my rubber mallet

[@henkoosterhof5947]

What oil do you use?

[@seancombs499]

Think he said the use Rotella 15/40 I believe if ya wanna watch it again believe he said. Have a good day bud

[@robertfoote3255]

Really any clean new oil will work. This was new 15- 40w motor oil, I personally use Hydraulic oil, because it has a consistent viscosity at all temperatures. 250° is sufficient for shrink fit bearing and gears.

[@henkoosterhof5947]

@@robertfoote3255 sorry. Was not clear. I mean the oil for heating up the bearings and other stuff. And i see so do you. Lub oil can disintegrade above certain temperatures. This would mean that hard particles would get between the rollers of bearings. So use a non dope added oil or coocking/frying oil capable of higher temperatures.

[@henkoosterhof5947]

@@seancombs499 see my remark somewhere else in this part please.

[@robertfoote3255]

@@henkoosterhof5947 Not cooking oil. Clean lubricating oil......I like a light viscosity hydraulic oil for this application. I have been installing bearings in the machine repair trade like this for 40 years. Thin viscosity hydraulic oil can be filtered and reused.
