Very interesting. I am blown away by the depth of your knowledge. It is difficult for me to grasp the amount of study and time that is required to gain the level of knowledge required to become a Master Tech. The complexity of these machines is incredible. Add to this the machining that is required to build such parts and to achieve the precision machining required for everything to work smoothly is a bit of a miracle and is difficult for me to comprehend. I tip my hat to you and the thousands of highly skilled men and women that build and maintain the machines that feed the world and provide for many ancillary uses for our farm products. Well done. Well done.

Don't have so much respect for land owners, without these guys land owners wouldn't be able to make the taxes let alone get all that .gov sugar and buy these 500k rigs tax free. The crew that keeps the equipment running and the chemical applications etc etc are the ones who deserve a thanks.

[@MrPossumeyes]

@@Montblanc1986 You seem a little confused. Why not respect land owners? How can land owners meet taxes, like every other citizen, just for sugar? Is that a US thing? Or buy the chemicals chemical companies say they should buy? Or buy the seriously expensive machines they need to produce what they do? Fancy, rich landowners don't grow food for other folks, although their land is worth so much. No respect there. I really don't see the point of your comment.

I was a farmer for 27 years. When I grew up on the farm my dad had a power shift 4020. When I left the farm two years ago, I sold that 4020. It was still running, working. I barely recall spending money on it in my 27 years…other than a new battery, etc. Sure, this huge tractor can do the work of 4 or more of those 4020s…but it worked when you needed it. The seat alone on the tractor in the video is more complicated than the whole 4020. I hated those heavy ass seats. Great video. (Not crazy about the music. 😊)

[@robmorgan9337]

In reference to @JerryUK’s comment-I set my volume to an acceptable level while you are speaking. When you stop talking while continuing to work, music starts playing at a much higher volume which requires a mad dash to the volume control. Don’t know how music is selected and/or dubbed in but when you start talking again your voice is at a much lower volume, requiring another adjustment. It is not the background noise or music, it’s the “filler” music done during video editing. It’s common on several of the KZbin sites I visit. I’m not complaining, just trying to help you better understand some of the comments. Your work is awesome, your explanations are exact, distinct, and understandable. Whoever serves as an apprentice under you will have an excellent teacher and a good opportunity to be a great technician. Keep up the good work.

[@ZKMasterTech]

Thanks for the feedback! So when there is a background track playing with a video that has its own audio, the program adjusts the background music down. When you mute the volume on the video the track goes full volume. I actually boost the video volume when I'm talking to 225%. I will try to adjust the background music down further. I also think it depends on what device you watch it on to a little bit. I edit everything on my phone with headphones in so I'm going off that.

I worked for an Agco Allis dealership in high school and for a few years after I had graduated. Sadly that's been nearly 30 years ago now, but we had a customer bring in one of those old orange Allis Chalmers tractors with a locked up rear end one day. It was old and worn out even at that time. We drug it in the shop leaving a trail of black rubber from the rear duals. We split it and found a 3/8 X 1 inch bolt worn and wedged between a large gear and the rear end housing. The fill hole for the rear end housing was in the floorboard of the cab. When he brought it in we noticed that he must have lost the fill cap and used a cutoff hoe handle for a fill cap. We guessed that at some point he had knocked his makeshift fill cap off and that 3/8 bolt was brushed off into the fill tube. It was incredible to us that that bolt could wedge so tight to lock the rear end up like that.

[@brucehislop8860]

I grew up in the '60's & 70's with my dad's 30's and 40's era tractors. Somehow we could pull 3 bottom plows and 10 ft cultivators with 30Hp gas tractors that ran for 20 years between overhauls. Now they need 300hp plus to pull 50ft cultivators and pour $10,000's in to maintenance every year. Not sure how they make a profit.. maybe just borrow more on the increased equity in their acreage?

[@jphilliy10]

I'm a full time finance guy and tinkering mechanic. Granted these tractors have become WAY WAY more sophisticated but I think John Deere could use some more imaginative engineering and design. That was a SH!T ton of work to get it done. Not to mention it's no wonder you have pieces sheering off in the Hydro when you are needing to pound all those gears into place. Seems like it should be more exact. All that said I am in awe of your skill and really enjoy watching you work. Keep the videos coming.

[@marcseclecticstuff9497]

I played CNC machinist for about a year as a way to get my foot into the door of CNC maintenance (I had no experience in either - I was pushing papers @ a desk). I enjoy watching these videos and seeing the parts I used to make. It just so happens that I machined these exact IVT transmission housings. It's so cool to finally see one of them torn down and what some of the internal features were for. When I was machining these I hunted down the parts diagrams for the housing and anything associated with it to get a better idea of how everything went together and which areas were critical so I could pay special attention to them. Deere was particularly concerned with the cosmetics on the outside of these castings. Now that I see it in the tractor I can understand how exposed it is in practice and why they wanted them to look good. I really enjoyed running these parts. In fact, I was running these when one of my machines went down and I was able to talk to the maintenance guy. This conversation was what ultimately got them to give me a shot at a CNC Technician and I hit the ground running. That was probably 17-18 years ago. I worked maintenance @ Deere in Waterloo, first at SPO then moved downtown to T10/12. Didn't stay long, I couldn't deal with the culture & politics there. Too bad, there was so much interesting equipment there, it was a very cool place from a machine tool and manufacturing perspective.

I was an engine man in the Navy for 10 years, and I never worked on anything like this I’m just amazed it how absolutely complicated that transmission was on the internals and what it took to get it out was just unbelievable the engineering behind this is phenomenal my question is how many days or hours did it take to pull it out disassemble it and figure out that it was needing a reman Tranny was cheaper than to replace all the carnage in the factory unit ?

Takes about 45 hrs. Tractor was under extended power guard warranty so that's why it got a complete transmission. It was more cost effective and was way quicker to get than hunt down all those parts.

[@FPMExile]

It’s actually cool seeing how different people do things. Cause at our shop we just remove the hood disconnect the line bundle from the front and pull the condenser along with it.(if it’s got that style) and swing the bundle aside. Then disconnect the exhaust from the turbo and remove the intake pipe from the filter housing. Then just disconnect the chassis harness and set it aside on the rear part of the tractor Then disconnect the basic stuff then take our crane and connect to the front weight bracket and push the front half forward and set it in a Jack stand. Then remove the air box and use a really long strap that we connect to the rear drawbar to support the accessory bracket and then just pull the trans out. I know it’s unnecessary detail but I thought it would be a cool read to see how different people do things To do the same job. I understand you don’t have a overheard crane though so you have to use the stands and what not to roll it forward

I would certainly never buy one for very high-torque applications where longevity was a major criterion (e.g., tractors). The idea is useful; the execution typically isn't so much.

I can relate I was a GM/Chrysler tech for 4 years after Wyotech. This job takes being a Technician to a whole new level. If auto techs had to do what we do they would be bitchin up a storm lol.
