John Deere 9560R Hole in Engine Block

Andy, you are about the most patient and even keeled person I’ve ever seen. A lot of guys would not be as focused on just doing what needs done. Hat’s off to you!

[@jeffreyneihart1614]

Sorry to hear about the tractor, Another youtuber had the same problem with a JD reman. Swore he would never use another. Now he rebuilds them himself. He used the trick of hooking it up to another tractors hydraulics to move it around. Wish you the best of luck with it. You and your team did a great job of moving everything around to rescue the tractor. Thanks as always for taking us along.

[@David-rd5dn]

Watch Western Truck and Tractor lon KZbin and see what his opinion is on John Deere reman. He will tell you it is all junk.

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

Andy is like a 5 star General at this point, he's seen and done it all. Doesn't even faze him anymore. I find it petty motivating.

[@michaelowen1750]

Sounds like you've done a great job quarterbacking the team, keeping your eyes on the big picture while managing the pieces... And all the whole reminding folks about safety...

[@incubatork]

My tractor had a similar problem before I bought it, the head gasket blew between a cylinder and the coolant but was a very small leek between the 2 and the engine would run. It sat for a week and when they they tried to start it 1 cylinder fired(it would start on less than half a turn) but when piston 2 came up with the small amount of water in it, it was enough to break the conrod and sent it through the block. I bought it cheap in non working condition but had to buy a second hand block for it, we did a complete build while at it so its good for a while now, Touch wood.

[@mwaofvt]

Andy hope your healing.....man so sorry see this loss for you. We all are going to say a good prayer for you all. Be safe and thank you for all those you feed through your labor. You make Amercia great!

[@johnpolishak]

Andy, your leadership is amazing. You are always so calm which helps the other workers to stay calm too. Your knowledge and know how to get the task at hand accomplished always works. Break downs are never cheap. Can things ever go smoothly for you. Things are breaking all the time. Do you spend more time doing mechanical work or farming? Great video!!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Good question

[@williamcorleu5839]

I've seen y'all when your in the field and I look like to me y'all are very hard on the tractor I'm not knocking you call liar worked on some farm and they didn't take care of tractor played overload them but I'm not knocking in there I'm just put a little comment thank you sir

[@wemedeeres4105]

Being a die hard John Deere man it hasn't been easy but with the larger amount of issues with this newer generation of tractors lately we've been seriously considering Versatile for our larger tractors, they run Cummins engines and CAT transmissions, two companies that have their shit together in the industrial market.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

The last tractor I bought was 1982 Stiger Cummins engine & Eaton transmission. I hope that if I was still farming I would still be using it. The bank said that I was through farming in 1985. Sometimes I’m almost glad, not often.

[@wemedeeres4105]

@@dirtfarmer7472 Those Steigers were good tractors as well. Originally designed and built by some farmers in northern MN with the intended purpose of having a 4 wheel drive tractor for themselves. I've driven a couple in my day, they sure sound sweet when you kick the right hand door open along a tree row and listen to that straight exhaust echoing off the trees!

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Excellent camera work, Andy. I felt like I was standing there. I admire and respect greatly your ability to remain calm and humble in every situation. Your kind is few and far between and I look forward to every video. Thank you for taking the time to let us into your world. Everything you do is inspiring.

After watching your videos for a few years , got to admit that I’m not sold on John Deere products. Best of luck to you.

Nothing like another day on the farm. I have heard that the John Deere reman engine's are having problems. A friend of mine has been though 2 of them this year. Good luck.

[@marklollar8120]

Gee Andy, that’s a tough one. As my Uncle would say “ that would make a mare bite her colt “, great job on recovery. No injuries, machines can be fixed 👍

[@tomgluth4254]

Very impressive ! A Dairy Farm having self-recovery equipment and crew , to retrieve a heavy piece of equipment. You had me spellbound through your entire video ! I am well experienced with recovery operations in less than “ optimal “ conditions. I used to love it, but now retired medically, and can only enjoy through these videos. Job well done !!

[@smi2sali1]

hello tom how are you doing

[@tomyousch7070]

A well managed troop of farmers, mechanics and family. You have to admire rthe relationship they all have with each other. Reflects back to how they were raised. I wish our congress would watch these videos to learn how to work together.

[@nicholasbrown7068]

I've been around heavy construction a long time, seen many recoveries like this from rock trucks to big dozers. Always break down in the worst possible spot!!!

[@carl2755]

A couple of years ago, I had to load a dead articulated tractor and the guys helping me connected the front and rear axles using chains on each side. Then we could steer it by tightening on the chains on one side or the other.

[@michaelwellman3485]

No matter what emergency comes up, Andy and his capable crew can make things happen! Great recovery!

[@smi2sali1]

hello michael how are you doing

[@philrogers8160]

Just saw a video last week from Machinery Pete of the reman factory in Missouri that JD bought and how they take the motors. Caz will love seeing this tractor back. I don't know how you keep so calm. I'm also surprised you are not on the phone constantly.

[@randybedker1584]

If not one thing it's a dozen others. Good thing you have a great team to work with. Great job keeping everyone safe and on task.

[@EDBZ28]

I noticed machinery Pete just did a big puff-job for mother Deere’s reman business…he posted the video on Facebook…just so you guys know, I made sure to bring your KZbin channel and most recent video up in my comment to express how great Deere’s reman track record has been lately.

[@brirei4417]

There are cuts in the videos to make them flow more smoothly, so we are not sitting here watching 20 minutes of the same step, and the videos are not an hour and 15 minutes long. What you see is what you get with Andy. He's not faking anything here.

It is a video that shows some of the problems that most never see because they never are on site. Good job showing some of rhe downside to farming.

[@Kamila_Alaiah]

I thought these kind of tractors had a hefty steel cable on the front end of them. So if they ever got stuck it was made it somewhat easier to pull it out. Hats off to you guys though. Doing this in the pouring rain couldn't have been an easy one to pull off

[@plowkingf15]

Hope you make out ok. Warren at western truck and tractor repair installed a john deere reman for his customer. It had problems. Deere got him another one but I think he had to eat some or all the labor. He'll probably do his own rebuilds from now on. Deere may outsource the work instead of rebuilding in house.

[@timmiller7037]

Boy the hits never stop coming! And in the rain ! 😬..nothing will turn your stomach more that the sound of a rod kicking out the block…🤦🏻 I really don’t know how you don’t loose your mind! I have great respect for you & how you handle things a lot of people should take lessons for you…

[@Rp47.5]

I envy the way you stay calm and collected in all situations. Hat’s off to you. Hope John Deere treats you well on the reman engine. I don’t know who is doing the remans but after this and Warrens at Western Truck &Tractor Repair I wouldn’t have a John Deere reman if they gave it to me.

[@TheGooj]

That was highly unfortunate. But you Andy, handled it well! Thanks for sharing.

[@burtzorn4059]

Wow - talk about catastrophic engine failure. That rain was brutal when you were loading onto the lowboy trailer. I’m glad to hear the engine is under warranty but shocked at how soon after the rebuild she let go. Jared might be right about the crank snapping off the flywheel. Well Andy, this was an awesome video to share but man, I do feel bad this happened. Cheers, Ed

[@FlatWabbitRabbitry]

seems like it never fails...these things happen on the worst possible weather days as possible! At least it's under warranty!

[@SbrGrendel65]

Man Deer reman engines are a roll of the dice. I’ve seen others on KZbin put in reman and some last and some like that and so don’t even make it past the trip to test out the engine before leaving the Mechanic. Deer needs to step up there game. Time is money and lost time of a tractor can be very difficult on farmers/ranchers and then have to do it again over a crappy reman that didn’t last!

[@mikerioux1]

Whew glad that went smoothly. Sorry about the short-lived engine. Just glad everyone's ok and you made it back.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Andy I can understand your disappointment. As I'm seeing larger operations spend larger money. Did the right thing on repair this tractor and now back same thing again. I know disappointing. Take care of your self have a good day.

Farm I worked on 15 years ago sent a IH 4586 to the dealership to have a reman engine installed. First engine failed as the dealership was loading the tractor onto the semi truck to deliver it back to us. Second engine failed at about 100 hours on the clock 3rd time was the charm! LOL!😂 All 3 where IH remans.

[@raycollington4310]

Well that was the test of any team Andy, I really felt for you, well done all. I would not be happy with that failure. I assume this is not the tractor with the rebuilt engine. I would say there was a fair bit of heat and knocking in that engine before that final destruction. Be interesting to examine the rod bolt remains and if that piston is welded into the liner as part of the post mortem. I'm no farmer but if I was, I might be asking myself if I had too much green paint around me as it doesn't look up to much. Good luck.

[@bradley7723]

Andy, I feel your frustration. The rebuilder must not have magnufluxed the rod and cap for cracks or god forbid used the old rod cap studs and nuts as they stretch while being torqued. That cap blew off the rod as you could see the whole crank journal thru the block hole.
