John Deere Round Baler Roller Bearing Replacement Look at USED 2750 JD Cab Tractor

In today's video I have to do a repair on our John Deere 435 round hay baler. It has a bearing out on the front stagger roller. First I do a walk around again talking about the used John Deere 2750 Cab tractor I just bought. Then back to work on the hay baler. These sealed bearing are the same ones on all the rest of the rollers on this hay baler. These bearings going out can easily cause a fire in the machine catching it and the hay field on fire. Very important to stay on top of these repairs and inspect your machine always.
Afterwards I service the rest of the machine and prepare it to hook up to the new tractor. I must move the baler monitor into the other tractor first.

that kid will remember you for the rest of his life, good man james

[@thecosmicsnail]

at 15 I would be in heaven working with someone like you. Kudos! 1985 Deere with a radio...probably doesn't have the 8track player. Kid.."What music do you play in this tractor"? James..."Both kinds; Country AND Western". Blues Brothers!

One of my favorite things is teaching young people, that want to learn. Good job James

[@jamesmcgraw9570]

Old school..... a Skool for the young man. Yea a lot of us were in the hay fields.... before we were ever in school

[@oby-1607]

You scored big with that JD 2750. We have had the very same bearing go out twice on our round baler. They are a sealed bearing that has no grease fitting. We had another bearing go bad and lucky the nephew was baling at night and he saw the bearing glowing red. He stopped and lucky the baler didn't go up in flames. I wish they had grease fittings on these as the only fix they say is to drill a tiny hole in the side of the bearing and inject grease and then seal up the hole somehow.

Had a farm in Louisiana in the 90’s like so many I got out and moved on. I am now running all over the world working. Retirement next year May. Good social security now and good savings, I would not have achieved all this if I had stayed farming. Retirement in Lipa city here we come.

[@ech311]

Hey James I have nothing but respect for you. Most people don’t understand how much knowledge a farmer or rancher needs to successfully run the business. And thank you for passing your knowledge on to young Michael this is stuff you can’t learn in any school. God bless you brother!

[@MRRice-wz3bv]

Go Navy Michael. OJT is best way to learn.....

[@steveholly3099]

Thats great, teaching a young guy like that the ropes. I dont think enough young people grow up like that anymore.Thats how i grew up myself. Your your a good person to learn from.

[@TexasFilipino]

Thank you Steve

[@thecosmicsnail]

I wish you would bring some of the Philippines back and fix you equipment Filipino style. They are ingenious in their fixes.

[@lindacook891]

Feel your pain, had to replace both bearings on five different rollers on a veneer 504N this hey season!

[@charleshoadley47]

Good job James teaching the young man safety around the machine. A buddy in school got caught in pto broken his in 7 places, my older bother was strip of his winter clothes of a pto. They okay now that been over 40 some years ago, dang i'm get old lol. Guys have a great day

[@TexasBubblehead]

I still have PTSD around balers, I was climbing out of my chair when you were lubing the chain next to the idler pulley LOL

[@TexasFilipino]

Ol Preacher here was wearing loose long sleeve shirt and it got caught in the chains. He lost his arm. Life changing and I never forgot that EVER.

[@MrBilldo426]

I can only imagine how many little things like that will need maintenance after being gone so long. But you’ve got a leg up just by owning John deer. Very easy to work on and mostly low maintenance cost 👍

[@RichLee2088]

Interesting, learned something new on a baler thank you

[@michaelcann280]

Great to see you are doing your own repairs to man after my own heart, air conditioning wow, we never even had a tractor with a cab on it hahah mind that was 50 yrs ago now in UK ,m well done. love the farm vids

[@JohnSmith-bz9be]

All very fascinating. Thanks for sharing :)

[@carldowney4177]

Use your infrared gun to check bearings that are sealed and hard to get to while running .to see witch ones are hotter than others . Lol but I'm sure you know that 😉 I have rebuilt a couple burned bailers .

[@TexasFilipino]

Sharing on here helps others so great comment Carl!

Thanks so much - Michael is a great young man

[@timduvall4910]

James, the best chain lube I've ever used is actually for offroad motorcycles. Bel-Ray super clean chain lube and Bel-Ray chain cleaner. I've used both exclusively on my old Kawasaki 550LTD and I have yet to replace the chain. Clean the chain, spray the lube and let it dry. then go on and forget about it until next season, then do it again. Hope this might help.

[@thowe7988]

That new tractors sexy. Good buy.🍀

[@bubbsnova2014]

Yes, grease everything

Yes sir get him on that rake that way one day you can cut it then he can rake then you can follow with the bailer oh yea get it done lol

[@TheRam273]

Cmon man🤦‍♂️ we wanted to see you stick your hand in there with the tractor running😜😜 call you stubby 😂😂 Micheal my best advice is screw up everything the first day that when the boss is at his kindness. Give it hell young man James can fix anything 😂

[@peter-bakestar]

I would rather your farm than your Filipino house. Enjoy your weekend James 👍🏻

I learned on a John Deere 2755 with an 18 foot batwing mower.

[@TexasFilipino]

That is SO COOL

[@insearchofthebest9070]

Bro im glad you caught it when you did looks like you dont have any wear on the shaft or the inside brg journal of the roller ive seen them all beaten out where you would have to put a speedy sleeve inside or replace the whole roller . That look like a good quality ball bearing you replaced it with probably a SKF or Dodge brg hopefully because after 30 yrs of selling that type of power transmission drive parts they seem to be the best quality for the money did you have any problem getting the inner brg race off of the shaft ive seen them be a booger all galded to the shaft to where you had to cut them off .

[@radioace318la]

replaced one of those yesterday. It was not all that fun. it fought me at every turn.

[@michaelmueller4946]

Try a good motorcycle chain lube on your chain. It looks very dry. Looks like a nice buy brother.❤️

The cardinal rule for farm and ranch work....you will have to work on equipment for half a day and then go do a full day's work! 😀

[@TexasFilipino]

Very true!

[@thecosmicsnail]

And up in the North Country for 4 months you drink coffee at the local C-store talking about how much you worked. LOL not picking a fight but just saying. My dad was raised on a dairy farm. Those guys and gals NEVER get a vacation.

You know on those metal shielded brgs you can pop off the shield on some of them to do a application like your talking about .but usually those factory sealed brgs are greased with enough quality brg grease to last a very long time plus it keeps out all the dust dirt & crap out of the roller balls 😉
