Not Much Wrong with This 644H John Deere Wheel Loader

[@bobtucker8875]

TKS for sharing ole boy. Good 👍 to see you out there doing the deal 😁.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for watching

[@Sherlock067]

Great to see you and the boys back at it. Good machine that JD is! Ran one scooping coal for several years and it never let us down!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing that.

[@ProudPapaw88]

Good to see you back, Wily. Good seeing your other son out with you. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you and you have a great weekend

[@davida.p.9911]

That's a nice machine. Still got lots of life left in it! And sounds like it runs good too, minus the accelerator not working. Thanks for sharing Wily!

[@DontbeWily]

It’s why as an old man I love Manuel controls. I know technology probably more efficient but when it tears up Well you know

[@TheIronDuke502]

Hello Wily, During the Snow/Ice season. I was assigned to a county where I used to operate a pretty similar John Deere front end loader that had all of the controls on the right side of the cab with the forward and reverse control on a joystick being near the right side of the seat. Our John Deere loaders did not have a key switch like the older loaders did, but you had to know which switch on the console to push and it would start right up. Just over from the console there was a display which was actually an onboard scale system that worked off of how much weight was against the hydraulic system when loading. Those were some really nice loaders with all of the modern features. The accelerator pedals were made of aluminum and were very problematic about seizing up with corrosion in which it was much easier to order a new pedal assembly than to fight with trying to get them working smoothly again. Where our loaders were used to load the rock salt, It was not uncommon to see the floorboard and around the cab with lots of rust holes once they got a few years on them. The fuel tanks were huge and I am glad that I wasn’t having to pay for the diesel fuel. I’m thinking that our loaders were the next size under the loader that was in the video.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for sharing that. You really did have a set up on that machine. I forgot about the pedal.

[@TheIronDuke502]

@ Yeah, Those accelerator pedals were very bad about seizing up. Our mechanics tried taking the pedal assembly off and taking completely apart oiling everything up, Etc and the pedals in no time would be back like they were. Although the John Deere parts were pricey enough, It was far more economical to just replace the seized up pedals than to waste all the time. Our highway department also used the John Deere loaders for use with the 21 foot slope mowers which meant that was yet another joystick control and it’s control panel + pedestal mount were added inside also within the far right front area of the cab. So Yes, It was a bit crowded in that area of the cab. The John Deere loaders had a very strong hydraulic system in which we used them for some pretty heavy lifting. The loaders by specification no matter what brand they were had the large buckets had a set of forks and a boom attachment that came with each loader. In the past, we had Konatsu & Samsung loaders especially that had very poor lifting ability. The Michigan loaders had by far the best lifting capacity of all the loaders even stronger than the John Deere loaders were. We did have a Caterpillar loader or two but we all preferred the John Deere loaders hands down.

Good video Wily that is a nice piece of equipment thanks for sharing

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks you.

[@shawngleason1345]

Worked for a JD dealer many years and think the 644 is the perfect all around size. Big enough for jobs you need some muscle but still easily transportable.

[@DontbeWily]

I agree with you. It would take much to get that one back in top shape Thanks for sharing and watching

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

Wiley, that 644 runs great. Enjoyable video , thanks

[@DontbeWily]

[@ralphriddle8864]

Very nice job and God bless y'all

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you

[@Pullingtractor]

I'm an engine builder myself, and I don't mean to tell you how to do your job, but for diesel engines with solid lifters that have presumably low compression, have you tried resetting the valve clearances at .012" for the intake valves & .018" for the exhaust valves? This must be done with each piston at TDC on the compression stroke. And doing this will trap more air in the combustion chambers to produce more compression & help the engine start quicker, idle smoother & produce more power. I found doing this makes a world or difference on how well an engine performs.

I’ve used Mule wipes for years and love them

[@DontbeWily]

I am not. I heard the owner talked about what his plans were. I was just thinking to myself this is going to take a while Lol.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for the video Wiley. Nice machine yet. Seems to run real good. Needs some fixing and it is probably ready to go. What is a machine like that worth Wiley????? Congratulations on your son getting his CDL license. Thanks Wiley for the good video. Nice machine. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks Steve He limped it around to where they are going to clean it and start finding leaks and fixing some easy to fix issues. Just a little TLC and it will serve them well I think

[@prestonsousa5978]

Nice machines

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching

[@midnightrunner684]

[@gradyyokeley9930]

Wily you can also use WD-40

[@DontbeWily]

I have tried that. I have not had success with it. Well PB Blaster not actual WD40.

[@jayjones6904]

Don't be saying you are going anywhere lol because we're about same age and I'm not going anywhere lol ol h were good years for there little tractor i remember using 544 644 a b c d e onup

[@DontbeWily]

lol. I was just really talking about what the owner was planning and what I was looking at. I would love to see wood being turned into a liquid fuel.

[@williammccartney4833]

Cosby sauce with additives 😆

[@DontbeWily]

lol. Thanks for watching

[@prestonsousa5978]

Pellets shredded wood product, ship to europe

[@Pullingtractor]

Wiley, i don't mean to be personal, but how old are you anyway?

[@DontbeWily]

64

[@Pullingtractor]

@DontbeWily that's what I was thinking. You're the same age as me. This is why I can relate to a lot of things you do.

[@MrEferrell]

Your air cleaner should be well oiled. The fluid with lubricity needs to put straight into the air intake, not through the air cleaner.

[@DontbeWily]

Ok Thanks for sharing that

[@Jacob_Tribal]

✌️🥶

[@billycapshew2411]

It's pronounced. LU. Bricity

[@DontbeWily]

I know you spoke that out while typing it. lol. Thanks for sharing

[@jeremyjackson1194]

Don't talk like that young man, you got a ways to go yet, do you preventative maintenance.

[@DontbeWily]
