Fixing an old greasy 7810 hitch.

Working on a 7810 that the hitch wouldn't lower due to water getting in cylinder and rust building up between wear ring and barrel making the wear ring tight on the rod.

[@timothywilliamson4611]

The “head bobbing” actually gives more view and keeps it simple. Don’t go all tripod on us. I love your videos.

[@keithk98]

Hi Warren, Keep up the good work! I like the "Frirst hand View" Thank you

[@jaywhitehead5294]

I'm new to your channel. It's awesome to watch someone else that understands pipe fittings don't have to be doubled wench when tightening them.

[@rickytart1028]

Thanks Warren...Actually, I prefer the head bobbing over a tri pod...I can see more....Keep m coming...

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

I know, too many crybabies in this world.

[@DXT61]

I am not a mechanic or know anything about engines but found this channel and have watched hours of it. It just amazes me watching folks with skills that can do or fix about anything. I spend 10 minutes working on something and get frustrated and throw tools or throw my hands up. Subscribed

[@roadkill5333]

Frustrating?? If you only knew!! Working on an a/c for an older truck! Vacuum it down for 30 mins, let it sit for an hour, then when it held, pulled a vacuum and charged it. Two days later, the system leaked so bad, I heard the hissing before the a/c went warm! This weekend, I set out to fix it. Compressor, accumulator, orifice tube, a can of a/c oil, and all, over $300! Already had a 30lb tank of freon. And a spare 30lb tank! New, not reman compressor. First, the orifice tube can only be accessed after removing the front grill. The connections on the condenser were so corroded, I couldn't remove them without $$$$$ damage. So, I didn't replace the tube! Went to install the compressor, and couldn't get the old sensor from the old compressor, so another $20 trip to the store! I get it all finished and go to charge the system, and I'm a couple pounds short in the 30lb tank. No problem, go to retrieve the spare 30lb tank from storage, and even tho it's still sealed in all original wrapping, ITS EMPTY!! That was $100 when I bought it. $130 now!! Off to the parts store for 3 more little can of freon! Get back home, fire it up and the brand new not reman'd compressor has a noise in the brand new clutch!! Oh well, just a noise! Get to the second can of freon, and it's a dud!! It's full, but won't work!! Got 2 in, the third is a dud, and I'm about 1 can short!! Frustrating doesn't even start to describe how working on things can be!! It makes you want to slam your head in a car door, over and over, and over, AND OVER, AND OVER!!

[@jeffjones4006]

Your right I’ve worked almost all my life without gloves on. From automotive rebuilding to pumps, compressors, pipe work etc. most people nowadays are so scared that something is going to kill them that nothing is getting done unless the older gen does it. Great channel warren.

[@JeremySmith-kn4vo]

Thanks man, just rebuilt 7410 cylinders! Back in business

[@BedeMeredith]

Pretty stable video actually even with all the head bobbing.

[@stevenunley5883]

Thanks for the cylinder video , I have to do one next weak when my parts get here.keep up the education of the knuckle heads, sometimes I think you have a full class!

[@philmorris3099]

Hey Warren, good video, couple suggestions: ALWAYS measure rods on JD hitch cylinder, they come mix matched from the factory dependent on how tractor hitch specs are. Also, try leaving the barrel attached to the tractor, some cannot be removed anyway. Lower the hitch, remove draft arm on the side you are fixing, lift the hitch with your hoist and block it up, lean the cylinder forward and yard the rod out with your hoist, makes a better stand than your vise, anyway!

[@brucet8551]

nice to watch a master mechanic at work.

[@corvettebob96]

I got a good chuckle when you grabbed the bigger hammer.And, I don't feel so bad now. I was installing new seal kit in a Hein Werner floor jack pump. I tapped two shafts into place. Thought I might have buggered the seals but jack works fine. Only took me 7 years to finally install the parts....

[@billyjoeekers5903]

Another great video Warren, thanks

[@jerryglen986]

Thanks Warren for making these videos.

[@G67154]

I like your videos. Just one suggestion, buy some different diameter wire brush wheels to go on the battery drill. These can save you a lot of time and effort cleaning rusty threads. I even bought some cheap gun cleaning kits for they're small diameter wire bore brushes, great for cleaning nuts.

[@bobbyalbrecht8148]

Yup! I have brass wire wheels just for this!!

[@garybeck9444]

I always want to work on my car after watching your videos,until I go out and the cold air hits me in the face and I run back in the house..

[@BigDirtyBasterd]

There is something rewarding about keeping an old car/truck/tractor going.

[@danbingen4708]

Enjoy your videos. Keep it up Warren!

[@mejorgy]

Warren...... God Bless you Brother. You an absolute God send to your community and customers. Do any of your customers do an ounce of maintenance on their equipment? By the way: Any person who loves dogs as much as you do is A-OK!

[@daleolson7205]

Head mount is A-OK with me, at least you have it pointed at what you are looking at! :-)

[@nzcyclone]

I have no problem with people asking questions afterall that is how we learn, but, some could certainly have a serious look at how they ask their questions. When your way out in the outback and miles away from anything. When farm equipment is down it is a cost, it is lost productivity for that farmer. The cost is never the issue, if it needs fixed it gets fixed. What is the issue is downtime, lost productivity for the most part. Time lost can never be recovered only ever has to be made up. We seem to be developing humans who are all soft and moreso now with the PC correct movement... Have you ever seen the movie Wall-E... I sometimes wonder if that is how they want us as humans to end up... because they sure are trying their best to make it happen. Thanks for another really great video Warren. Hope you and your family are all safe and well :)

[@justingrant2949]

Trackman was pretty decent when we replaced the undercarriage on our linkbelt 210x2, but other than that I don’t really know what the extent of their parts availability is. Thanks for the videos and good luck!

[@markdobson8513]

Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Fabes002]

John deere has pins to pull so that you can move the hitch arms around without parking the tractor perfectly. They have metal mushroom caps. Once hooked up you leave the implement down, back up, and everything locks in.

[@ohhpaul7364]

JPayDirt channel, he is over the mountains from you in blackfoot, Idaho and he is always talking about the distributors for his parts; maybe they might have a distributor or two closer to you. He is a cat man though, so that is the majority of his dealings, does have a Wabco or two hanging around.

[@morgansword]

I ain't been saying much cause you already forgot more than I'll learn in my second lifetime but wanted to mention that I had me a fifty gallon tank up under my service truck with water and soap for my little power washer. It wasn't high pressure or volume but it kicked most the nasty off most jobs and made my life a little easier. Most guys don't do stuff like that but I know my customers liked it. I didn't start no detail shop but when it comes time to get all the copper eaz and never seize off where I had it smeared all over. Like I said before, times have changed a bit, me, I'm 72 and I just make it as easy on myself as I can an oh I took my dog everywhere with me, even if I stopped for a cold one ... dog went too. He wasn't welcome well then my welcome wore off too. I bruised a few noses over rude comments that hurt his feelers/LOL

Im out of Idaho and use trek for under carriage parts. Ameican crane has quite a bit of aftermarket parts. I believe they ship out of California.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Warren, we all beat on screwdrivers , but we keep ones specifically for that use , like on the remains of the seal you took out, until someone comes up whith a tool more virsatile ,I guess I'll keep on using em. Time =money ,and screwdrivers are cheap. I feel for ya on the parts problems , it's endemic all over. Sign of the times mate!. Kind regards.Stuart.

[@timheasley612]

I knew you would have trouble hook in that damn thing back up by yourself that sucks .. great video though have a great day 🍺🚜🛠😉!!!

[@whitneywells9354]

We deal with Florin tractor parts out here in south Sacramento. Excellent service and able to source just about anything at competitive prices. Good aftermarket availability.

[@jonka1]

Buy a few sizes of rotating disc shaped wire brushes and remove rust and dirt from the inside of cylinders in a few seconds. Very fast and very effective.

[@davekauffman8727]

I am my own worst enemy when trying to fix something, I'm always having to carry tools around with me, because if I set something down and don't pick it right back up, I'll have no idea where I put it 5 minutes later.

[@justastudentoftheworld3940]

A tool is a tool, a butter knife is a screwdriver in a pinch, and a wrench will work as a hammer when needed.

[@denjhill]

Could I get you to tell my wife that? After getting thumped on the head one too many times for repurposing her butter knives I've given up. lol

[@BOBHANNA01]

Every screwdriver has a hammer end on it, snap on loves it.

Don't worry about those bears by the feed truck, I heard they're watching their cholesterol. (lol) Thanks for the adventure.

[@jasonbrubacher5793]

Just started dealing with AMS some . Good service to Ontario. However I put a rebuilt pump in a Cx 225 Sr and the input shaft seal leaked immediately(@10psi case pressure ) They air freighted new seal for next day . When I took it apart to replace seal the oring on the bearing carrier was found to be damaged during installation. Maybe just a fluke but I do have to say they had good service even though they had no intrest in reimbursing for labour

[@jasonminoia]

You know why i like watching your videos? Because like me, i know you talked to yourself long before you got the video camera. Its a great excuse aint it?

[@robertquast9684]

I order a lot of aftermarket parts but it isn’t without risks. Sometimes the quality isn’t as good sometimes the fit isn’t exact. And as you said there is time concerns also. As far as the knipex stuff that’s the only pliers that I buy. I especially like their cobra style channel locks. I have gotten stuff out with them that a pipe wrench wouldn’t get out

[@sherrytop2591]

Some of those tractors had two 70 mm cylinders for 7725 lb hitch, others had one 70 mm and one 80 mm cylinder for 8925 lb hitch, European versions could be equipped with two 80 mm cylinders for 10,050 lb capacity hitch. Rockshaft between lift arms is plenty strong to keep unequal sized cylinders lifting in time. First time I noticed the size difference on the same tractor was while performing a PDI, tractor was fresh from the factory. That was the year everybody was worried about Y2K,

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

The best, knipex.

[@Flatlanderexpress]

jaypaydirt has a channel from idaho.he rebuilds all his cat stuff.u should talk to him

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

They sure don't spend much time greasing equipment. Works good now.

[@JeffreyStrader]

I'm smoking a MACANUDO INSPARADO cigar as I watch this video, oh and Warren I think ya need a bigger hammer!...LOL!!!!

[@TheJpsmith1996]

I believe that the two different sizes of cylinders was deeres way of getting different hitch lift ratings. You could have two 70 mm cylinders for one lift capacity, one 70 and one 80 mm cylinders for another capacity, or two 80 mm cylinders for maximum lift capacity. It was all how the tractor was optioned when it was new

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Yeah, but you don't mismatch.

[@Nate-fs3no]

He's totally correct. You could have two smalls, one of each, or two bigs depending on how it was ordered. Jd tech for twenty years.

[@TheJpsmith1996]

[@Hesston4860s]

I’d have thought really those arms should go down on there own without the quick hitch fitted, I resealed the rams on my 7710 and they go down on there own as we here in the uk don’t use those quick hitches !. That piston seemed very tight in the cylinder to me tho having to hammer it in like that, when I did mine I could push the piston in and out by hand !.

About that bent cylinder rod. Saw Keith Fenner (machinist on KZbin) straighten new, out of the box rods to 0.002 runout using heat and cold water. May be more than you need, but interesting technique nonetheless. Love your channel, Warren. I've learned a lot from you and really respect you for your work ethic and honesty. Wish you were up here in NE Washington. Got a Case 580 that needs your TLC. Enjoy the weather and keep on wrenchin' ! Oh yeah, glad to see your sub. numbers climbing. People know quality.

[@donald1056]

Still, haven't found trouble - those are very good quality but Knipex is expensive - man the rear end is cover in greasy dirt and oil dirt bad - need a little more lead in the ass jumping on that 23 point hitch - but you got it done

Listening to your tale of troubles with the dozer pump. What the supplier is not telling you is that the parts are chinese made and because of the tariffs the supply stream from there is in chaos. I've used con equipment in the past and they are a good company.

For me, on my island, freight is quite often more than the price of the part.

20:09 on the knipex if you jam the fastener to the back of the jaws they will also add more grip. Less chance of rounding since it gives 3 sides of contact.

I'm not being a smartass Warren but good luck finding a place that will call you back! Years back people had a lot of pride in there jobs. Now people are given jobs that take two maybe three to do the same job and a lot of the time the customers get forgot. The stuff shirts think that with all the technology you can do the work of two or three and get this,they say let the customer call back if you get over loaded! If they need the part they will call back. I hear this everywhere and they tell you thats not true! They tell you that because they don't want to loose there job. And big customers are priority no matter what the hell thay say!

Jim Detchon very true ! The little guy is always forgotten some how but it’s the little guy that got them started and keeps coming back, maybe not for the high dollar items but a repeat customer over time !

Just try to ask someone at ANY auto parts store one question on anything like a u-joint, an set of contact points, or an exhaust manifold donut. And their Cell-Phone BRAINDEAD head cannot process the item, have literally NO clue what was asked or ever heard of such pieces. This country seem LOST!
