John Deere 9570R charge pump repair.

new equipment is nice, but this video makes me appreciate the simplicity of our big buds

[@tommyk1073]

All I can say is..WOW! What an involved process. I understand now why the engineers and mechanics never seem to get along..it may look good on paper, but in the real world it’s a m-ferer to repair. Great video.

[@marksawyer5299]

Ahh.. The memories that your videos bring back for me. I worked for a Case/IH Dealer in Northern Iowa after being a Motor Sergeant in Gulf War One. The average automotive technician would have no clue of the sheer size and scale that being an AG tech brings to the table. 8 years later I moved home to Ky and still have some of the huge tools in my box just for old times sake. Funniest thing I probably recall from those days was being called to a farm in St Ansgar IA. The farmer was combining soybeans and ingested a 10 speed bicycle somehow through the entire feeder housing and the chain from the bike ended up wrapped around the end bearing of the rotor. Keep doing what you are doing young man and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@rogermontee8264]

A person never realizes how much mechanical stuff there is on these tractor’s until you watch these videos. A lot of work just to get to that part you have to fix. Keep up the great work you do.Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍

Hi, i used to be a fitter on Massey Ferguson tractors in the 80's, in those days average tractor size was 80 horsepower, i could take a gearbox out, rebuild it and refit it in a day and half, i do not envy the amount of work you have to do nowadays

[@jimbojet8728]

Another great vid. Reminds me of the days when I worked on large plant machinery in the Army (U.K.) we dreamed of clean work areas. We fixed our plant usually wherever they broke. Out in the field on some specific projects, in quarries exposed to the elements or out on manoeuvres in Germany as we prepared for the Russian invasion which we were a bit early for! I even remember solid steel cabs for wheeled machines which we welded on! Supposedly to prevent the rioting Irish from setting fire to us or their missiles from hurting the operators. Of course we just had to work out how to do these things ‘on the fly’. Being a ‘Techie’ as you are is an admirable way to make a living, of course you aren’t paid enough , but I am enjoying your vids. Thank you.

[@flinty2]

The video is fantastic, but there were at least 5 times I would have sad f it and had quit the job. As a farmer I find it depressing how complicated and difficult to maintain farm equipment has become.

[@jonnyw82]

Thank you for growing our food! What do you do if your tractor breaks down like this on the middle of harvest?

[@firionrazar3797]

@@jonnyw82 Hopes and prayers that it won't be too costly. No, jokes aside, first identify the error (displayed in the cab), if it's filter related get an oil, oil filter, fuel filter change in the field (even with strictly respected filter changes and good quality fuel this can happen). If not, call service companys (can I drag the machine home? will a reset/calibration bring it back alive?). After that comes the waiting for service men, spare parts. But in the meantime you take another machine and try to finish work. My farm has more then one tractor and they are close to each other in power so I got back up.

[@jonnyw82]

@@firionrazar3797 I would imagine only a small percent of independent farmers have these $1 million + tractors and even less have one for backup?

[@firionrazar3797]

@@jonnyw82 not quite. The natural developement of a farm actually scales it's machinery automatically. If you start small, i.e. my dad started 1992 with a 45 hp tractor, followed by one 65hp, another 65hp second hand machine. After 2010 we got the first big machine, second hand, 200hp, a few years followed by another 200hp machine. 2019 we sold the older 200hp machine and got with UE funding a new 250hp unit. It's a slow upscaling because nobody will ever be able to afford to exchange all the implements one within generational turn.

[@dustcommander100]

I'm hearing the Ford trucks now require cab removal for engine repair - so it looks like this is the way of the future. My hat's off to you - not only doing the work, but being organized enough to put things back together in such a manner as to have them functional when done! I can just imagine that if the crew I used to be part of was charged with this job - a great sickness would sweep thru the shop and I'd be stuck with the job.....

I believe engineers definitely try cramming as much as they can underneath the cab. They need to design a tilting cab to tilt backwards for better access to everything they have positioned under the cab. Plenty of space near the batteries for some of these critical components!

I work at a dealership and we had a new 9620rx that was filling the front axle completely full of oil. Luckily with the 9rx we could get the pump out the bottom. We took the old pump apart and found nothing obvious. The new one was hard to get deere didnt have one anywhere so we had to get one out of the factory. Put the new pump on and it worked like it should luckily.

[@joelhart9020]

When I take the cab off a fendt at work I can just unbolt the compressor and Leave the lines on and throw it all in the cab without having to drop the refrigerant which is nice, then it’s just brake lines, steering column and electrics which is two p clamps and two large plugs. Two hours to get it off three hours to put it back on because the brakes need bleeding, but I’m guessing a set of those duels weighs more than one of our tractors

Wow, the ridiculous number of operations you have to get through, just to reach the parts you need to fix is mind-boggling, without disclosing too much, how much does a fix like this cost in ballpark figures?

[@MrMunroMan]

This is a good video and should be compulsory viewing for all the design engineers at John Deere tractors - because it shows how little thought they have given to the maintenance and repair of these tractors. Maintenance technicians should not have to spend hours and hours taking large parts of the tractor to bits - in order to get at at the charge pump.

[@TheMRSTEVEN]

Hate to tell you but manufacturers don't design things for technician's. They design things for the end user. If it was made so the tech. could get at everything with ease it would look a right camel of a machine

[@MrMunroMan]

@@TheMRSTEVEN That's not true. Here in the UK we used to have HGV trucks that had fixed cabs - which made it a complete nightmare to work on the engine. Then the truck manufacturers introduced the tilting cab - and what a difference that made to getting access to the engine. And what's more the drivers and owners of these HGV trucks have never complained about having tilting cabs - indeed it has saved the owner a lot of money by having lower maintenance bills and less downtime. So improvements can be made to the design which makes life easier for the technician, and cheaper for the owner - without it compromising its functionality.

[@TheMRSTEVEN]

@@MrMunroMan funnily enough JD's smaller tractors have/had tilting cabs.

[@joelhart9020]

You can’t have everything easily accessible unfortunately, taking a cab off a machine is pretty standard for a large number of repair/maintenance jobs. The tractors I work in a lot of transmission or hydraulic related job, other than a service, is cab off

[@MrMunroMan]

@@joelhart9020 You are right - there are other design engineers out there that work for other manufacturers that don't make life easy for maintenance technicians either. However, there do appear to be a few design engineers who are thinking about how to make life easier for the maintenance technicians by introducing tilting cabs - with the likes of Komatsu WA80M wheel loader and Cat 953D track loader and there are lots of others - so hopefully this "technology" - will migrate over to tractors too - especially on tractors that sells for around $500K.

[@bobearl7859]

Yeah I'm an easy solution from the get-go with the engineers put an access panel in there so you can get to the charge pumps but go figure anything to make it more complicated so you have to take it to a dealer

[@dennismartin3149]

I think what would be interesting is an approximate cost to the owner for a repair such as this. It will provide some relativity. I don't mean for you to provide proprietary information but knowing what it costs to transport the tractor from the farm to the shop and then some type of repair costs would be interesting. Keep up the interesting work

[@ZKMasterTech]

I dont do the billing so I actually dont know how much those things cost. I know part costs and how much time I put in but I dont know what the final invoice numbers are.
