New Rachel video always brightens my day!! God bless you guys....

[@46rambo49]

40 years in heavy tooling and only once heard a marlin spike called a "lady slipper" , great job showing the process. Your vid's are a joy to watch, thanks

[@OCnStiggs]

What a pleasure to watch. Always informative an upbeat. Rachel IS the Tractor Goddess! :)

[@priscilamaeli1]

Love the way you explain it Rachel! Really enjoy watching you, even though we don't even own a tractor lol

[@Turfer1979]

My rolling wedge bar is now called a lady foot. I wish I could hire a mechanic who enjoys there work and smiles like you do. I'll be ordering parts for my 8n hydraulics this winter. Keep up the videos.

[@eosjoe565]

My dad was a mechanic for almost 50 years and they always called it a Lady's Foot.

[@ralfie8801]

EOSJOE I've always heard it called a heel bar, for more than 35 years. Alternatively, we call it an injector bar at the railroad.

[@lanzkurt7917]

You are wonderful. I like your Videos❤

[@artfulcoyote]

Rachel, best instructional video I've seen and a pleasure to listen to you while you are working. Knowledgeable, calm, easy going! I bought my first JD yesterday, a 2640. Thank you for your time and work!

[@TheTomar33]

You're like the Chris fix on Tractors, Great video.

[@jordanmartin5718]

Great work. It’s awesome seeing someone enjoying what they love to do. Thank you for all the information and videos

[@reloadnorth7722]

My buddy has a JD240 skid steer with the same type of injectors. We will be changing them this week. You made it look so easy. Great video.

[@garyprn2000]

Good job Miss Rachel. Thanks again for great info.

[@SCfanIam100]

I'm always learning something new about tractors from Rachel even if it's something I didn't think I wanted to know.

[@SCfanIam100]

Watching Rachel just makes me want to go tear up my old tractor just so I can fix it back up. She is to old tractors what Betty Crocker was to cake baking!

[@toddboden972]

Thank you for the JD video. Keep them coming!

[@billperry652]

Thanks for demonstrating this repair ! going to tackle my repair when the weather warms up and will look at your web site for the required parts

[@user-qb3ec3hg8f]

Great work. It’s awesome to see some enjoying what they love to do and is very passionate. Thank you for all information and help.

[@ron827]

Your beautiful broad smile on start-up told me the repair was a success. :-)

[@alexcharbonneau3369]

Great video. Direct to the point, step by step with brief explaination why. Thank you for taking the time to provide these.

[@johngratz2359]

Excellent video every time. I've learned lots from Rachel's videos.

Another great video young lady. And service with a smile you can’t beet that.

[@sh839c]

Excellent video Rachel, very good information.

[@marianodemarco2975]

Que lindo trabajo, cuantos recuerdos me haces traer, hace unos años teniamos u John Deere 2730 un excelente tractor y le hacia todas las reparaciones, me emocione, cuando volvi a escuchar el sonido del motor. Muy lindo trabajo un abrazo desde Argentina

[@colmone5592]

Great to see you again Rachel. You are looking good and the job was superbly carried out as always. I give you 10 / 10 all round. Well worth anybody watching. I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one. Thanks.

[@stevenolsen8561]

Hey Rachel next time you do a fuel filter like that one on a JD..there are 2 flanges on the bottom of the mounting bracket...just squeeze the 2 together by hand it releases the filter..no prying necessary. Love your instructional videos !

[@41plymouthnut87]

Great tutorial as usual, Thank You!

[@dieselmunkey]

I'm from Texas and live in Mississippi as an equipment mechanic, and the difference in terminology has me falling out of my chair 🤣🤣🤣

[@filibertovargas8354]

Omg girl thankyou so much for your video.. Now i want my daughter to be a mechanic

[@charlestibbey2666]

Just changed the injectors in my 2030 after watching this, thank you!

[@rickpalechuk4411]

You really need to fix the retainer on your impact Rachel :) Thanks for sharing, Cheers

[@WarpedSpeed]

I have an 1120 3cyl but identical other wise, I normally spend much more of my time dropping tools and parts than you did., I am going to do the injectors as soon as it warms up a bit, Thanks for the preview of what to expect.

[@cijoykjose]

Awesomeness in the class work you are doing.. 💗👏👍

[@northdakotaham1752]

I want one of those injector testers! Enjoy watching your videos !

[@hfraat25]

Be careful not to put fingers near the spay as you can inject diesel into your blood ... dead😈

[@sofakinggood5829]

Love that injector tester.

[@lucadesiervo2684]

❤️ you. Your videos are great. Very interesting and informative.

[@bellelibby1]

great video .my 2440 is doing exactly what you described.this will be a winter project.if you ever do a vid on changing a rear main seal i volunteer my jd

[@edwardlocke874]

You’re awesome to take your time for all of us dumb guys ❤

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

I prefer her with the Ponytail Looks Cute

[@rogercarrico4975]

Lots of time in the passed. I've rebuilt a engine. Took the injectors to a shop to be checked out. Always sell me a bunch of new ones.

[@robertschaefer7840]

Did application engineering work on these Stanadyne fuel systems for Deere 300 Series engines in the 1970’s. You may want to caution viewers keep hands, fingers, etc. away from the injector tip while “popping” it on a test stand to avoid injury. The 3200 / 3700 opening pressures can easily inject test oil under the skin. And to add a little detail to what characteristics a service shop would check; it’s opening pressure, “chatter”, seat leakage and return leakage.

[@danielolguin8703]

Wonderful work very educated keep in that way

[@Miguel-yk1bn]

Thank You for your time, You are they Best.

[@itbigboy1984]

Thank you Rachel!

[@yhird]

Very nicely done!

[@PapaGoodTymes]

Thank you! i had 3 of my 4 injectors bad in my 2640, so its like a new tractor now! mine took quite a while longer to change and with a lot more cuss words but i eventually got it

[@mikealdag7309]

Great job , thank you for sharing this it did help me a bunch.

[@jamesgallia0147]

I just got done with replacing injectors on a John Deere 3005and rebuilt the old injectors to keep is a back up set

[@rickatkins1493]

always enjoy your videos🚜

[@galachad]

Awesome info as always

[@richardanderson2411]

If you get your hands on a JD 650 or 750 tractor I'd love to see the same video. As I'm sure you know, there is a world of difference with the injectors. My 750 is wet stacking and my local JD mechanic wants $750 to replace them. A bit more than I'm willing to plunk down right now (or in the foreseeable future). As always, thanks for a great video......and please, please ignore the ignorant barbs thrown your way in the comments. Just remember that those that can do and those that can't just complain about those that can. Keep on wrenching lady!

[@svtirefire]

I just replaced injectors on my 750. It's really pretty simple. I bought injectors from Hoye for $83 each. Replace the washers that go under the injectors too, and new copper washers that go on the return line banjo fittings. If your injectors are stuck in the head, Hoye has a rental tool to pull them out. Mine were originals but came right out without the puller tool, just a little twist and pull.

[@svtirefire]

(6) Copper washers CH12807, about $0.79 each from Deere (3) injectors from Hoye, HIA-4060 $83.48 each (3) injector insulator washer from Hoye, HIW-3854 $2.99 each Injector removal tool if you need it, $88.86 to buy it from Hoye, or $15 if you borrow and send it back

[@heavycoughin6665]

Great video! Father and Daughter team? I'm subbing.

[@jimedwards9310]

Great work 👍🏻

[@markhicks9545]

Top job once again

[@dlynes]

great video! thanks for taking the time to do this. do you have any recommendations on troubleshooting no fuel at injectors? I had fuel after bleeding air at fuel filter. Tractor in question is a 1968 John Deere 1020 4cyl diesel. Thanks so much!

[@DanGingell]

Sounds like you have a pump problem--if fuel makes it to the filter but not to the injectors, the in-between-step is the pump.

[@dlynes]

@@DanGingell hey thanks so much!! I should have mentioned that I replaced the fuel lift pump and still not getting fuel to the injectors.

[@DanGingell]

@@dlynes I am referring to the injection pump (not the fuel lift pump).

[@paulwicks254]

Very good informative video on this 👏 👍 would like to see videos on a 1988 JD 2555. I have fuel leakage from fuel pump lifter fuel Guage doesn't work or the hr clock and the speedometer plus I think I need to change the valve cover gasket. Need guidance on process and for parts.

[@pitdogluna7636]

Another great video thanks

[@jarrydarrah3064]

Always nice to watch your vids, ur knowledge and South accent make these videos amazing

[@atwoodca]

pretty sure shes from Michigan. All good tough

It's looking nice.

[@shawnthomas6782]

I love all your videos I are a great woman really gets seeing u working on all this trackers

[@garyjones783]

Very good,… thank you!

[@hfraat25]

Always good to flush out the hp pipes before you tighten. 👍👍

[@lanzkurt7917]

you explain perfektly Gruß Christoph can you make a Video off repair a john deere baler ?

[@blockededited8280]

Do you all only work on tractors or do you work on vintage implements, too?

[@rafaelsanchez6305]

Hola sabría decirme a qué presión tienen que habría los inyectores del fordson super dexta gasoil, muchas gracias

[@silenceondort1314]

Dear Rachel, on my old 2120, I've noticed unusual high level oil on the dipstick. Is this always the fuel lift pump the culprit? If so how can a fuel pump leak back through the cam opening. Thanks!

[@DaleDirt]

With total respect , I have to say ... I love this girl . She is motivated , intelligent , hard working and pretty , that also fixes tractors . That my friend is the perfect woman . Rachael and her Husband are no doubt very successful , because they think outside of the box . My Sweetheart is finally coming around because sometimes you just need a helping hand . She also is a good mechanic because being a woman she see's further into it and says ... Why don't you try it like this . Hmmmm , never thought about doing it that way , Bam . It worked and I am up and running . The man is the prototype with many errors . The woman is the masterpiece of God , the nurturer (fixer ) the creator . Nothing can be equivalent to a woman , She is the superior species . However most woman don't know that and they continue to follow the path of the follower . But just know , Behind every great man , there is a even greater woman , behind every great woman , not necessarily a great man .

[@smid2550]

Good job!

[@marksteele45]

So that's what those little rubber washers were for!

[@Khan-ro8ct]

You are brilliant ma'am

[@vincemelnar12]

I cant find no pistons at all for my JD 40. Do you know where I cant get pistons.

[@Khan-ro8ct]

Could you pls mention how much opening pressure should set on these john deere nozzles. Mine engine is 3029DF120

[@arussianasset3948]

Ooops! I forgot to date the new air filter.

[@lindsaybuchecker5373]

Next time when you fit injectors put some antiseize on them plus injector tester should have been turned off just before atomiseation to test for leak down other than that nice to watch

[@user-hj8ce8bh4h]

Good job Please I need injector pump step by step 😙😙😙

[@NareshJangra108]

Good job 👌👌👍👍🇮🇳🚜🚜😁😁

[@Only1Shadow]

Pro Tip: O-Rings and such can be lubricated with DOT-3 brake fluid. Makes reassembly much easier and keeps the seals from being damaged. Nitrile gloves are recommended - brake fluid does odd things to skin.

[@jmurphy1973]

Love to watch repair videos but honestly, I'm just here to read the weirdo comments.

[@blockededited8280]

Lol

[@dnsmithnc]

In other words, looking for, hoping to find or, intentionally misinterpreting comments to fit your narrative.

[@dieselmunkey]

@@dnsmithnc nah, some of these people are straight up creepy...

[@stephenfrench1060]

Video that makes sense ty

[@jameswest673]

Former Deere field tech here. I think im in love.

[@dapoppa2256]

Good information! I do not know if this will help, but when changing the fuel filters, you can prime the fuel filter with transmission fluid to clean the system and the injectors because trans fluid is light, and super detergent. I use it in my big truck every time to keep the injectors fresh.

[@hfraat25]

Does anyone repair those stanadyne or rooser master injectors in the USA ??

[@creativebhangu8733]

so nice

[@triciahill216]

I have a 1980 Allis-Chalmers 5050 diesel and am wondering how can the fuel injector pump be troubleshot? I think I’m hearing a whining noise coming from the injector pump. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@eosjoe565]

At 3:29 it looked like there was a drip forming on the tip of the new injector, although not as severe as the old injector. It's also much more visible in the old injector with the left over dyed fuel.

[@jacobdellinger4931]

what model is that tester?

[@stephensaasen8589]

Don't you want to wet those seals with diesel or a little oil? I always cringe when I see a rubber seal put on dry.

[@isbcornbinder]

Super

[@rutikuiwa8427]

Awww what beautiful Lady Mechanic!

[@hfraat25]

Do these injector have a seal at the tip to seal combustion???

[@ImaginaryMachines]

My John Deere 410 loader backhoe just started running awful with a bad knock. I read that it could be injectors? Going to pull them out tomorrow to give them a good cleaning and see what happens. If anyone wants a update on my project just click my avatar photo to checkout my channel Thanks for the great video! It's nice to know what I'm getting into!

[@aminman4897]

Great

[@vicpetrishak7705]

Use compressed air to blow clean all debris before you pull the FUEL NOZZLES ! Invest in fuel line nut sockets .

[@tommydeardorff9476]

had a uncle name charley gingell and wife claudia lived in ky people say he worked on tractors alot

[@ADSaaron]

[@stefanoancona7642]

Wao an injector Stanadine,I'm a fuel injection Specially

[@ffarmchicken]

Ha, your tractor is running great compared to mine. I have to smoke the starter to get it started. Then I get choked out with the black cloud in the barn.

Is there a way to tell the difference between OE and aftermarket John deere injectors?

Alright, I have two John Deeres that use injectors. Can you please come over and replace them for me. Thanks.
