John Deere 4050 won't move (part 1)

Hydraulic testing a power shift transmission on a John Deere 4050.

[@terryrogers1025]

Thanks for the ride along sir, I knew a guy like Mike, boy if he liked ya, he was in your corner no matter what, and boy, he could take care of business. Lost him in Nam, thanks for the stories Warren.

[@JP1.6idi]

I work on a tobacco farm in Connecticut and I'm the main wrench in the place. I would just like to thank you for doing what you do. You are more help to me and others than you may know.

[@fireantsarestrange]

I think everyone has known a guy like Mike. Thanks for the story time with Warren.

[@u.p.tinkering]

Always a good start to the day, a new video from Warren!

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Another Great Video, Warren. I really appreciate the rants and stories about guys that are no longer around. If I had your service truck I would use the crane for anything I could that would make the job easier. The shop I worked at years ago, had a forklift and a few overhead beams, but height was an issue. Your business, your customer. Do it how you want to. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.

[@philstreeter9703]

I got one story to tell you. I was in a bar at end of the day and there was a small Asian dude having a beer minding his own business and a Mike kind of guy and 2 of his friends had a problem with him and wouldn't let up on him. He finished his beer and he left, but the 3 guys followed him out. 5 minutes later one of three guys came back in with blood all over his face telling the bartender to call the cops as the little Asian dude beat the crap out of them. Nobody moved a muscle to help the three idiots. They eventually came in a lot worse for wear. I used to work with a guy like Mike. As long as you stayed on his good side, life was good. Great job and I look forward to part 2.

Having a good wife makes all the difference in a marriage you work well together. I have never seen a screen port so badly clogged nice to see you back online keep up the good work warren

[@jameshollingsworth4714]

As knowledgeable as you are, the physical effort that it takes to accomplish the tasks that you make look easy, would kill a weaker man. I have worked on a lot of equipment, but don't think i could hand you wrenches and keep up. Thanks for sharing your expertise and stories.

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Been thinking about you buddy hope you’re doing well I know you are busy it’s great to see you post a video love watching thanks for sharing

[@johnwaby4321]

Hi warren love your trip down memory lane from your good old days 👍👍👍👍. Got yourself a task and a half on there with that tractor. 👍👍👍👍

[@tracydiller9378]

Great video Warren and story of mike and yes everyone knows a mike LOL.Warren your videos is helping alot of people to get thru whats going on in this country.Can't wait for part 2.God bless you and your Family.

[@jeffcox3072]

I really enjoy watching your show if people don't like what you do then move on and let us old-timers enjoy the show. Keep up the great work and shows

[@Joe.O_623]

I've been a long time viewer of the channel. I really think you did a great job on this one of walking through your thought process and explaining things. Sometimes I have a hard time following along. On this one you knocked it out of the park.

[@iamnoone.]

Here for the repairs stayed for the stories

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Hey Warren, I lived in Donald Oregon up near woodburn. Anyway I knew a guy named Mike and hung out together. Nice guy but was always in trouble like that, one day he went to confront a guy in town, and the guy shot him dead. Thanks much for the story!

[@henryhurricane]

Another cracking piece at a time video Warren, thank you again, Harry from the UK.

[@ianlulham]

I guess your video's are like Loansome Dove is to you Warren. I'm gunna watch this 4050 repair series again. I keep seeing and hearing things I didn't last time I watched it, if you see what I mean. Please don't get burned out with YT, (I don't think you will), your videos are priceless. We all need a break sometimes even if it is to get on with some work. You can't hit back if you've got yer hand's on yer pecker, I think Mike knew that

[@TrevorSiders]

Great video, love the stories, watching a skilled technician work through the troubleshooting process is always fascinating as well. God Bless you and your family.

[@russellgilson4072]

I don't know why but I got a kick when you said "let's find out what the F..k is wrong with this thing". Good video, you're a good mechanic

[@stevedibiase728]

Right now Warren bet you are a fan of our old open air cab tractors from the day....we just bundled up good and we lived thru it ok. We were a hardy bunch back then but could we go back no don't think so.

[@morkorson4196]

Appreciate your time and stories Warren.

[@csippel1]

From what I see you are the best person that can work on anything and make it run or fix the problems you just need another you or longer days .

[@canuckyank82]

A sequel from the Professor! Just great work! You aren't afraid of anything mechanical and then we get the great logic as well as fantastic views of the damage. Hard to stop when I get into one of these videos. I wonder if you will encounter any surprises. Thank you for putting out the video. It was really great!👍

[@bobbeals1509]

It is a wonderful day in Mr Rogers the Mechanics neighborhood! Keep on trucking Warren!!!

[@geesss8675]

Informative documentation of a transmission disaster. You have to wonder if there were signs that they were having problems or internal failures or if it just catastrophically failed due to a pump failure or one disk failure. Did the customer mention they were having intermittent or sporadic problems or driveability with the tractor or did he just say boom goes the dynamite and it stopped

[@onemessedupfarmer]

Thanks for the content and mostly for your commentary on the the world,people, and how things are.

[@oldironfarms929]

For years I used floor dry but once I started using absorbent pads I found them to be a cleaner solution . They make different types some will absorb oil type liquid only but some will absorb everything even the coolants and water .if you haven't tried them I think you would love them .

[@ollie-lk5dx]

How much do they cost ?

[@briangardner5764]

@@ollie-lk5dx I heard they where expensive.

[@bradenwuesthoff5639]

@@briangardner5764 They arent cheap but if you buy them in a big roll (bulk) its not so bad.

[@oldironfarms929]

They cost 30 to 40 cents per pad so for around five dollars you could cover the entire area under your tractor and as the high spill areas get saturated you move the perimeter ares in towards the spill

[@heavymachinery2843]

Love your old red toolbox i bet it can tell some storys cool video warren keep on wrenchin 👍👍

[@PrairieMechanic]

Just spent today building a splitting stand. Got the base idea from your video of your stand. Only difference is i am using 2 sections of threaded rod for raise/lower because that’s cheaper than another bottle jack haha Other than that it looks pretty similar. Good patent sir.

[@taylortop3550]

I know those are a different beast but I just rebuilt the transmission in a 2755 without pulling the cab. After I had the engine split from the clutch housing I used my big semi transmissions jack to pull the the front half of the transmission out with the cab still attached to the rear end. It was tight but it worked.

[@GarryBrown-k1g]

Warren you have great videos I really enjoy all keep up the great videos. Garry

[@edwardsmith9049]

Great content Mr Warren I learn a lot from you. Keep up the great information content. Keep up the great work.

[@glenvanbavel8710]

Story time is the best . Thanks for sharing and thanks for making the videos.

Procedures are like a-holes,everyone has one and most of them stink! so you do your way bud and don't sweat the rest.

Thanks for the chuckle Warren glad to see the channel notifications pop up while I eat breakfast

[@themalewhale59]

Great video. Loved the Mike stories, we had a similar guy where I grew up. Similar stories and, yep, you weren't going to beat him unless you killed him. Scary times.... 😨

[@t.c.bowling1934]

I will be waiting for part 2. This is an expensive repair! Great tractors! These had two different motors options a 359 or 466 cu non turbo motor option.

[@calumanderson5617]

Thank you for the video Warren👍, enjoyed the story's about Mike especially the one of him hauling out the chain and smashed the guy's headlights all because he was tailing him.👍

[@suzylarry1]

Well Werren , I don't do , so I have no input. I enjoy watching someone work WHO KNOWS WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE DOING ! I understand , if you read all comments, I can see where your antics come from. Good to vent , love seeing you get your results ! good work.

[@mikec6831]

Great video and great stories about Mike, thanks Warren.

[@moakland9756]

Gotta agree those cabs are a pain to pull so many linkages. Honestly my most dreaded part of doing powershifts. But once you get it off it goes pretty quick sometimes a bear to roll back together though.

[@davidregister7405]

Warren I noticed you started your heater for first time we have done the same in shop was curious what your burning we invested in a used oil burner heater from Lanair and we couldn’t be happier it seems to burn clean only burns 5 gallons a day it has been worth the money and get rid of oil

[@toddcash5350]

Warren i sure wish you were in middle tn!! Cant find a decent mechanic anywhere!! You sure are excellent mechanic.

[@elroyelblander6277]

👍👍.. thanks for bringing us along feller...see ya on the next one👊

[@Prariedog]

Sure enjoy the commentary Warren. Great video. Thanks for sharing . Come spring I gotta pull the cab off my 88 oliver . Split the tractor and put in a new clutch . Wish you lived in our area .anyways have a great day . Looking forward to your next video

[@stephenhoran7597]

My god how do you stay sort of half sane Warren that would put me on the drink😂😂but it's class to watch

[@TheJpsmith1996]

Ive got a 4850 split all down right now for metal in the hydraulic oil. What we’ve experienced in our shop is friction material like that is usually brakes.

[@paulbush7095]

I apologize in advance if you’ve already addressed this question but do you ever make your own gaskets? I’ve enjoyed watching several of your videos but I do not recall ever seeing you cut your own gaskets. Thanks

Storytime around here might be the most enjoyable part of KZbin

Nice video, thank you for posting it.

Hello Warren. JD 50:40 are a good tractor. There's loads of them here in the UK. Having said that there's a lot of JD and Fendt and Massey Ferguson tractors. There's a lot of dealerships around us.

Thanks Warren, always happy to see any video, know you been buisy as hell. I always thumbs up and try to comment to push the views. I love the stories you tell, you do a great reenactment. G-d bless everyone.

[@bobbeals1509]

Indeed that story is a good one. Those kinds of people needed their headlights knocked out. No respect

[@paulgilliland2992]

Pardon my ignorance but would you not take the wheels off so it’s easier to get at all those components. Again I know zero about tractors.

[@ollie-lk5dx]

I love it when people use cheap oil and all the clutch facings come unbonded and wreck everything. Saves a lot of money. yeah right!

You know you're in for a good time when you pull the drain plug and nothing comes out. Then you have to move the goo with a screwdriver to get the oil to drain out 😂

I pull cabs off of tractors it makes the splitting process easier for transmission work

That’s why I like my old tractors, none have a full cab. Only one has a ROPS. Rest no cabs.

[@redemert1673]

i would not pull cab, at all!! I would pull the axle housings and fix the brakes, clean up all debris good and put back together!! would be worth looking at first. I would

[@mikeychildress2500]

Could it be break material also

[@genarocastellon8030]

Whats the part number on that big CAT gauge set?

"they dont break down that much"...........John Deere wasted no time rectifying that profit reducing product feature in future models.

First! It's cold here too in South Carolina.

[@gasperajdnik8004]

Good work warren 👍

[@jimrankin2583]

Brake linings! I think the powershift has bronze and steel disks, so nothing to delaminate and get in the screen. Clutch pack might be gone because of low pressure but I’m betting the brakes started the cascade.

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Wrong

[@jimrankin2583]

Yep Still, odds are brakes started the cascade. It takes some really clueless operators to keep going when the charge pump is whining like that. Usually though they figure it out when the hydraulics slow down, must have not been using the remotes or 3 point hitch lately. Pipe trailer doesn’t sound like it would require any. I sure would pop the finals off and do the brakes while you’re at it.

[@johnrighter4850]
