John Deere 7710 PTO problems

[@philipgrubb6971]

I like these shop videos cause they show the other side of taking care of the equipment that you use to make the feed for the farm.

[@haroldrobertson582]

Andy, I've got an idea for a new sign for the front of your shop. I.e. " Nothing runs like a Deere, Unless it's in here." 🤣😷

Great sign idea

For awhile there, that reinstall of the pto gearbox looked like a “county Highway department job”. 5 guys standing around and 1 guy yelling at ‘em. You make a complex job seem simple.

Nicely Done Andy. Very similar to a repair Wes Pandy did on his 8120 a while back (or maybe his 4960 - can't recall). Looks like the rear cover on the 7710 is a bit different from the 8120 but the idea of the job is the same. Too bad the boyz over a John Deere didn't get the engineering right on that 540/1000 flip shaft deal. Nice to be able to quickly change PTO speeds when needed - but not cool to have to tear into the tractor to that level to replace what amounts to a maintenance part. Thanks again for the great videos.

Hard start ups for sure

Why the hoses on the side? Joystick for loader? Very good series of jd we have a 7510 powerquad.I appreciate this kind of video in case that one day we will have the same issues

The 7810 looks like it is set out to cultivate tobacco. We set cultivating tractors out to 96”, you guys are to far north for that. Is there a reason you run your feeding tractor that wide?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

So I know where end of axle is

[@edniemyjski3303]

we used to have thousand's of acres of tobacco here in Wisconsin until the1990s and we are farther north.

Have y’all ever twisted the splines on one of those PTO shafts?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

No they usually break

[@stuartgibson1896]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating I’ve seen the 540 splines twisted half the width of the splines. I believe while mowing the operator hit a rock or tree stump. That twisted shaft almost made the dyno bounce off the ground while diagnosing.

[@desertdweller4951]

I understand the necessity of doing the work yourself with so much equipment. Still it's absolutely amazing how well you can fix then switch to another task so much. I hope some of your boys and crew are watching and helping with the intention of someday doing it themselves. Your one hell of a teacher, you need internships to come in and learn. Great jod Andy, your a class act in the farm community.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks

[@Patrick-kc5ur]

Andy, I can't believe all the mechanical work you do on the farm. It would seem like you need a real full time mechanic there which would allow you do the other things that are important to you... unless you actually enjoy that work, I donno? I noticed when you were pulling the seals and bearing off the shaft, you should have a fat old bolt welded to a base plate so you can stack them in order that came off. I've always been concerned that I wouldn't remember the correct order to reinstall them.

[@tcmits3699]

Just a friendly suggestion, before removing the last two bolts, install a couple of same thread studs to provide support of heavy housing, then remove last two bolts. Studs will also aid in installing said housing

[@tonybonamici1494]

When we split tractors to do clutches or t/A's we would use long lengths of threaded rod installed in in some bolt holes to act as guides. Seems like that would work for that rear section as well. It works pretty slick

[@maximush9811]

Isn't it amazing how many hours it feed tractor can rack up

[@geesss8675]

Do you keep track of all the equipment maintenance man hours labor Parts equipment? I mean I realize that you're in the cow and the milk business. But you're also in the grain business and the trucking business and the storage business. Have you ever thought of breaking them into separate businesses and it would end up greatly tax advantageous for you. For example you're there working on this for example you're there working on this tractor and you could send the tractor business or equipment business a bill for $10,000 hypothetically to fix this. And the Tractor and Equipment business would send the cow business a bill for all the equipment and tractor work. Are you could easily break your entire operation and maybe it already is into three or four separate entities. You're a smart guy. I don't know if you've ever thought of this or maybe you already do it. It would be no different than if your son Jared started his own company and began billing you for hauling the manure with his 1972 Freightliner.

Hey Andy there should be a plastic plug around or under top link that you can access that one shaft so you can pull it out before you pull housing and it makes it easier when putting back together. The shaft can go back in after housing is in place. Not telling how to fix things you know what your doing. Just a tip.

Were having an issue with pto on our 7810 John Deere. The pto speed sensor is only working on the 1,000 rpm side. Flip it to 540 and the sensor isn’t reading which causes the pto to shut off. “Safety” feature I guess. We tested wires. If one side works but the other doesn’t I wouldn’t suspect there to be a problem with the wiring. Do you think it would be mechanical? Maybe something to do with that push pin inside the housing? Can you help with this?

[@rightwayexteriorcleaning4206]

We already tried a new speed sensor, and a new pto solenoid and plunger.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

There is a tone ring on your pto shaft be sure that is present and there is a pin inside the pto housing that is more than likely stuck in. That spring loaded pin might not be working correctly or gone altogether

[@rightwayexteriorcleaning4206]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating I don’t recall there being any kind of splinedring on the pto shaft. There are just a set of splines in the center of the shaft about 1” wide. I checked the push pin inside the housing, it does push in and out when I applied pressure to the shaft. Not saying there is nothing wrong with it, but it seemed to be going in and out as it should when I pushed in on the shaft.
