John Deere 4010 Engine Rebuild

[@johncarman6966]

I have lost count of how many 4010 and 4020’s that I rebuilt in the late 60’s and early 70’s.. I worked for a John Deere dealership in the UK and loved working on the Deere’s. Lovely tractors. Watching this video has brought back some great memories.

[@bradjenkins932]

Yeah you can get pretty good at working on JD.

[@johncarman6966]

@@bradjenkins932 I guess all marques have their problems. I also worked on Massey Ferguson’s, New Holland, Ford, International Harvester and unfortunately the Russian and Polish Zetor and Ursus. These two were built to last as you can imagine but boy were they unreliable. .

Should have bought an 806 or 856 and the engines would have run 10,000 or 15,000 hours!

Dad has done a great job in teaching the boys! It must make you both proud! There all something to be proud of and you as parents ❤ have taken the time and the Love and the Grace of God have created this wonderful family 👪 I do believe there's something extra special about all farmers. They very dedicated and God fearing people 🙏 I don't know what we would do without You! There are so many things that you have to deal with on a daily basis. I personally appreciate everything you go through to get your products to us, we don't thank you and appreciate you enough!!! So once again thank you and thank all farmers. God Bless and my prayers go out to you all!!!! Love Ya!

“Whoops” - what a great comeback…. lol. “I just lifted a tractor” - very impressive lifting technique. Ethan is a great mechanic, he could make a good living as one. But I’m glad he’s staying on the farm because America needs farmers! This video was edited perfectly, kudos to the camera crew….

[@rmedlinnc]

Good seeing your boys tackle those projects. Nothing like knowing how to use your hands and brain! Compliment them all for me!

[@tonyburelle6633]

Always such a treat when you show Kevin and the boys, successfully repair a tractor, truck, piece of equipment, I enjoy watching Sydney working so carefully, such a knowledgeable family, thanks for sharing this

[@bnghjtyu767]

I've been doing that type of work around my county for a 35 years and couple observations when you're doing this kind of work it seems like 75% of it is cleaning. The other other notable thing is when you first started up you realize you did a lot of things are right that are not seen by most, which means there's a lot of things that can be wrong. Thumbs up.

[@trwaintime]

Master mechanics at work...good job guys and you too Rhonda...you managed to coax a few words out of em...my experiences around a shortline rr locomotive shop (as here...merely observing)were that when heavy intensive work was ongoing...very little was said....except on occasion when clanging of metal unexpectedly occurred...an expletive or two...and then sometimes a "redo" of long hours of work would be redone...all part of the fun!

[@roberthemphill8588]

Great old tractor...4010, 3020 and 4040 are some of my favorites.

[@seandrake7534]

You can’t leave out the 4020

[@bp4170]

Pretty cool watching your boy being so meticulous. What a great skill he possesses! I grew up on a 100 head dairy farm in north west NJ till I was 15 and boy do I miss it, especially working with family and friends. Thanks for the videos.

[@davidyoung9808]

Wow, so great to see that our young farm kids of today have such skills!

[@joewiniewicz7603]

Just awesome! As this was my first video, I'm not sure of your son's age. But I will tell you this, he puts to shame most of my friends boys hands down. Great job young man! Reminds me of the days before the internet, cell phones and video games. We all worked with our hands and our minds. A simpler time but to me, a better time.

[@davdhynes3518]

Nice to see the guy’s working together. Not a surprise to see the mechanical they have, without those skills it would almost be impossible to start farming. Kudos to the whole family including MacKenzie.

[@banjobenson9348]

great job hope the neighbor was pleased and gave you all a nice check

[@kens.3729]

Ethan is a Man of few words but he is one heck of a Great Mechanic. What a Great Job he did. 👍

[@TheJohndeere466]

Im a machinist and I have few recommendations. I hope you replaced the rod that had the spun the bearing and also you should have all the rods resized at a machine shop. They would grind off a little off the rod and cap where the cap fits on the rod and then open the bore to the proper size. This would help to keep the bearings from spinning again. They would also install a new bushing in the small end and open it up to proper size.

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

And never use a 3M pad to clean gasket off it will make surface uneven

[@dannywilsher4165]

Quick tip.... Take you 2 bolts the same size as the bell housing bolts, cut the heads off of them and thread them into the block. Then when you are trying to line up the block with the bell housing it will slide on with ease.....

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Great job Ethan at somebody that used to rebuild a lot of engines back in the seventies eighties and nineties you did a great job I like your detail how you do it you do a great job and would make somebody a great mechanic but I'm glad you're staying on the farm and I'm glad you up your neighbor's thank you very much great video as always God bless the whole family stay safe

[@garyberg]

Ethan did a great job. Love his sense of humor 😊

[@danw6014]

I find these jobs rewarding. One thing I did with the head gasket on my 4020 was put a high heat, high pressure sealent around the oil port on the back right corner because they are notorious for leaking oil.

[@ssnydertrucking1121]

You and Kevin sure raised up a bunch of good kids. Nice to see the owner fix the tractor rather than junking it.

Never seen anyone oil the backside of a bearing before. Was always told Never put oil on back of bearing..

[@acresofclayhomestead]

It was a learning curve for my son. The backs shouldn't get oil.

[@johndoe43]

Big project. I noticed he oiled the back side of a bearing. I only do gas engines but I don't think you want to do that. Normally only oil the surface going to the crank

[@bosseliminator]

Good job 👍 Don’t put lube on the back side of the bearings. You want the back side clean and dry. Safety glasses when cleaning. That’s a mom thing you need to remind him.😉

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Mom wasn't there when he was cleaning, if I had been, I would have definitely said something. 🥴

[@donf5722]

True that, no lube on back of bearings. It can give you a false reading on plastiguage and make it easier to spin a bearings. Looks like you did a great job cleaning it up.

Awesome job young man. Carl

[@Adam_Poirier]

Nice job on this one guys! Those 4010s can be little bit of a bear to work on. Between all those lines that run across the top of the engine splitting the tractor is kind of a pain. Then there’s the 24 V system… It starts on 24 V but everything else is 12 so that can be a little tricky. Then it has that synchro range transmission where the linkage gets a little worn out and it’s hard to shift.. then there’s the steering when it gets air in it and the front wheels don’t line up with the steering motor and you have to bleed it out lol. They are really cool tractors though. Nice job men
