No thanks. I would like for my dogs to live, not eat that crap and get sick and diseased.

Grab your welder, weld a bead all the way around the race, let cool and it will come off with your hand! thanks for the video!

[@davidhall8926]

well done your spot on done the same when taking when you want outer ring out a crankshaft on heavy goods engine

[@jackalope9001]

If you want to do it right, get a bearing splitter otc 1121-1130 or otc 1183 (Bearing Splitter Combo Set) that clamps/forces itself behind the bearing to allow you to pull it off. You will need to connect a t bar push puller to the splitter (5/7/10/17/30/50 tons with different length legs, up to 24 inches, that screw into the bearing splitter), instead of a two or three jaw puller. This setup allows you to apply heat while applying pressure at the same time. There are manual and hydraulic kits. Kits are usually cheaper lol. Get ready for sticker shock (otc 1680 17-1/2 and 30 Ton Hydraulic Farm Implement Set), there’s a 30 or 50 ton kit, or otc 1682 (17-1/2, 30, and 50 Ton Master Puller Set). How much is your time worth and the aggravation of not having the right tool. Or you can jerry rig/make your own homemade one if it will hold up to the pressure applied/tonnage.

[@beartiger1553]

Man knows what he’s talking about

[@HaywoodJabloowme]

Put a bead of weld on each side of the race let it cool and hit it with a chisel. Makes them brittle and it will break right of . Works everytime! 0:15

[@reidhoeflicher6065]

Easiest way to get an inner bearing race off shafts on a combine is knock them apart. And than take a 3” cutting wheel on a die grinder or 3” cutoff tool. Put a cut in the out side of the race parallel to the shaft and just cut down through to the shaft. You don’t have to cut through the entire width of the race but has to be as close to the shaft as possible. Than take a good heavy chisel than can wedge itself into the cut and hit it. It will split the bearing race and just slide off the shaft by hand. Have done this on combines and anything else need working for the dealer here

[@zacksievert7780]

Watching you guys work on a Deere combine makes me love the case even more!

[@michaellougheed436]

lol remember when welkers had to replace a rotar in their CASE combines😂 chiiiilllllll they all break

[@zacksievert7780]

@ I’m talking about watching them change concaves. Case is far easier and don’t need to add all the mods to them like you do to Deeres

[@robo1210]

@@zacksievert7780my thoughts exactly, concaves are like a 15 minute swap. Don’t have to worry about any slow down kit or whatever. Crazy they gotta do all these mods just to do as good of a job as case.

[@EvanC8]

Oh case equipment never breaks down? Surrrrre. Lol

[@robo1210]

@ where is anybody saying case doesn’t break down?

[@Amadluv]

Toby should have a Go Pro attached to him and let him loose at the farm for the day for some fun content! Then put one on Dougo when he goes hunting in them fancy pants of his. LoL 😜🐶🐕🚜🎬📷

Already done it

Fun to watch you and Brody horsing around while working. You two really have a way of making hard jobs look fun.

[@waynebiroth5275]

Chet your Toby looks like our Bear

[@Victor-i6e]

Always look forward to watching your videos. Thanks for sharing, Chet. Stay safe. Stay well. Victor

[@ryanorourke92]

Chet I use to ratchet the concaves when removing as well but a tech showed me if you open the concave all the way open they’re basically resting on the shoe. Half an inch with the prybar and the pins are out. No more ratchet strap needed!

[@johnjackson8561]

Bearing separator is what you need and you put a puller on that. 👌👍😎

[@AThing4Iorn]

They make a claw that goes on a socket wrench or breaker bar for popping cv shafts they are nice and handy!

[@mw3bb9]

You really should try a red one. So much easier to change grates and concaves

[@cw93711]

But the dealer isn't as close as kibble, isn't as good as kibble and doesn't come with jd ops center which they run their farm on.

[@adamsherm29]

I love when my beagles eat. Lmao. Only issue is if one is done before the other, they try to steal the others. Lmao. These are my 3rd pair. Like to have two maniacs running around. 😂 had a lab as my first dog. Will have beagles until I die. So fun.

[@OliviaMartinez-l3c]

The vibe in here is perfect!

[@LunasEmpireSL]

"Hi Larson Farms, I really enjoy your videos and appreciate how you share the realities of farming life with all its challenges and triumphs. I noticed the recent engine issue and the oil spill in the field, and I was wondering if you have any plans to clean up the spilled oil before planting again. I’ve heard that oil in the soil can affect future crops and the environment, and I’d love to hear how you’re addressing this situation. It could even be a great topic for a video-showing how farmers handle unexpected setbacks like this responsibly. Thanks for all the hard work you do and for sharing it with us!"

[@Tow_Truck_Dale441]

Or what you could do we have done it in the past is torch It Off but you got to be getting very careful when you get close to the shaft that you don't want to cut through and then we went with sandpaper and sanded it down and make sure was good to go

[@andyloebrown8250]

Oh thanks ! I often wondered what was inside of a combine that magically removed kernels from the cob. Learned something today!

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

You guys choose the high road even when the job wants to drag ya'll to the low road. 👍👍For attitude.

[@mathewpage9993]

Tip for cover crop spreading, half the rate go over it once then go in-between you rows the last pass

[@bobearl7859]

Yeah it's called a bearing puller that goes behind the bearing is flat and you make your bars to the length and you pull it with that easy peasy and very cheap and it's not a three jaw or for jaw puller

[@tobyfoster9176]

Use your welder and weld a bead all the way around that inner bearing race on the outside and it will slide right off.

[@MattScott-c6r]

Apply even heat to the race and it will slide right off

[@adamnix3591]

Great video, I enjoy when you get into why you do things and present more technical insights into farming. Thank you.

[@heinrichvollgraaff3176]

Weld on the bearing race, then it expands

[@dlsmallenginerepair]

The very first video I watched of yours was when you put the tracks on that combine.

[@jtsfarmengines6633]

For that bearing race, If you take an air die grinder with a cutoff wheel on it, and work it perpendicular to the bearing so rather than cutting across it, and instead the wheel in the same direction as the bearing channel. And work back and forth into it you’ll thin it enough it turns blue, smack it with a chisel and it’ll split and come off easy

[@thomasharless9144]

Bearing separator with a "T" bar puller & right length bolts for T bar to bearing seperator.

[@agentcrm]

For the bearing. A large hydraulic bearing puller kit is all you need for that bearing. You use the split plate puller, not the jaw arms.

[@gailp9432]

Always good to see Toby. We miss you too Chris. Of course in that order. 😊

[@stevenrud6593]

I would like to see Case IH do a demo for you guys. Just to see the comparison.

[@parker1ray]

Your intro talks about being in the Rhubarb! I am 62 and remember being given a cup of sugar by my grandmother and sent to the rhubarb patch as a young boy in Iowa! That was a sweet treat in a time when sugar cereal and all of the sweets that our overweight young people enjoy today even existed! Believe it or not, fast food was almost non existent and when it was enjoyed, it was only during special occasions.

[@MrHurricaneFloyd]

Can you not make a comment without disparaging someone else?

[@henrykelsey3507]

He is actually referring to being in the weeds/tall grass. Not actually in rhubarb

[@MrHurricaneFloyd]

@@henrykelsey3507 The slang term actually has its roots in "the rhubarb" meaning out of line or in trouble. In a jam, or in the rhubarb jam. But it is easy to make the logical connection to being in the weeds with equipment which is what the Larson family seems to have done.

[@caravanpwdrblue]

Best farming videos!!

[@ShiftGearsPunchSteers]

I usually cut the race 3/4 of the way through and then use a chisel in the cut and hit the chisel with a hammer and splits the race in half without damaging the shaft. Comes right off

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Depending on the sides of the race there's a great value in a Dremel tool with the cutting wheel or a 4-in grinder with a cutting wheel and then smack it like you said it was a chisel and they usually come right off

[@johnbucklerfarms]

[@jeffsimonar7161]

Die grinder with a small cut off wheel, cut about 3/4 of the way through the race and then hit it with a chisel and they break apart or open up enough to get the bearing off

[@grantberardi5080]

@jeffsimonar7161 This is exactly what I was going to say, works every time. In 35 years as a mechanic, I've done this hundreds of times.

Hey Chet, Google bearing splitter puller, I think that might be what your looking for

[@AmbitionsFarms]

as a mechanic and trying to start my own farm this snap on puller kit (CJ2500) kit has bought me way less frustration and saved me time in the long run when it comes to pulling bearings

[@rebekahfrench5747]

Weld a piece of pipe on bearing race and slide hammer .. or make a tool to clamp onto groove with slide hammer quite simple if made right.. 😂😂

[@stoneshrink]

you're looking for a 'bearing splitter' they usually are with the hydraulic press tools.

[@TheHp289]

Clamshell style pinion bearing puller would work good on that bearing provided that stub shaft isn’t too long.

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

I’m glad it’s you guys doing it . We have amazing mechanic that work on all equipment. But love how you and Brody get stuck fixing that combine to get it ready to take back. Good job you too

[@miker648]

To pull that bearing off you need a bearing spreader/splitter to help you remove that bearing at 22 minutes in on video.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

HI Larson farms from Indiana

[@Tow_Truck_Dale441]

I used to work at John Deere as a heavy duty diesel mechanic what we used to do we take an air hammer at the end hold the trigger while you got two people trying to pry it and it just slowly walks off

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Chet and Brody and crew. That bearing you are trying to get off. I am not real sure about this but I believe there is a bearing splitter kit available for that. Like I say, check on that as I am not for sure on that for sure. Might save you some time and frustration. Lots of equipment to remove from your old lease combine before it goes back to the dealership. Kibble I am assuming. Lots of technology stuff to remove yet too. Amazing what you have added to the combine. Been a good unit for you Chet. About it I guess. Toby really like that food you were showing him at the Beginning of the video. Thanks for everything Larsons. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@johndenoma6397]

Use air impact driver with a blunt tool. It will walk the bearing race off.

Camelina oil can be used as feedstock for making bio-fuels, your cover crop has the ability to be a cash crop.

[@suzanneharris278]

You can get a split piece for that it works for different size shafts the inner part is tapered it is meant for that I think McMaster -Carr has them don't get a cheap one they are soft they are called a bearing separator and a face grip puller just suggesting it

Have you tried making your own tool with some cheap wrecker bars with the tips rounded off and bolts welded to them through some thick bar as your own specialist puller

[@JakeMeier-l4v]

Keep up the great videos

[@samuelbullock950]

Hey Chet, on some of those back separator grates there should be bolts that you can take off and be able to take them out in half’s, they may be a bit different as in up in AB Canada, but I know most of them normally have about 3 bolts in about the middle of the separator bars and if you take the bolts out they should be able to come out in 2

[@davidkellerman9802]

On the bearing you just take a cut off wheel and make a slit and hit it with a chisel takes bout 20 seconds

[@daohnstad]

Pamida?! There’s a way back attack!!! Shopko a bit too. RIP to both. Thanks for the tour of the inside workings of the combine. I think that’s pretty important to include that kind of stuff.

[@adamnix3591]

In the past you had run brushes on your gathering chains on your deer corn head, is that an option on the Geringhoff heads? Do you think it would have helped in the dry corn this year?

[@Aina_Nightfall]

[@randywilson9611]

Good video good to see y'all

[@Scotthobart1086]

Another great video

[@CaryGuyer]

If the bearing is shot, what I would do is, find a piece of pipe that just slides over the shaft, weld a flat piece of steel over one end, drill a hole in it and tap it for a fine thread bolt. Slide the tool over the shaft and tack weld it to the bearing. Turn the bolt to pull the bearing loose.

[@duaneyounker7649]

Hey Chet tell your dad John Deere just came out with a new pickup he has to get for the farm 🚜 and it's John Deere green 💚!!!

[@samehora6864]

To get a race off you can weld on it and it’ll expand and come off by hand

[@discgolfwithelijah]

You should look into buying a Fendt ideal 10T combine plus they have a nice three year gold star warranty where they will do the oil change and fix the machine so you guys wouldn’t have to do any maintenance to it basically or get a case AF11 but I think the fendt would be a really good idea because of the warranty

[@gregjames5070]

I wonder how Larson’s ever became a highly successful multi generational farm without you telling them what equipment to use? It’s all about dealer support not the equipment!!!

[@cw93711]

1 of the you tube farmers has 1 and isn't thrilled with it. Plus they need a dealer close by that would be as good as kibble. Lastly they run JD ops center for their farm and would it integrate with fendt.

[@kelleymetcalf4385]

I would love to see y’all try an AF 10 but not sure if you even have case dealers in your area. Support and service are more important than what color it is. Ivers run 9250s and the samples look cleaner in corn. Love y’all’s channel. Keep up the good work and be safe.❤

[@cw93711]

There is 1 about 10 or 20 miles further than kibble. But unless they give same service as kibble I wouldn't do it.

[@kylemay7298]

Score the out side with a die grinder. Don't go all the way threw, then use a chisel and a hammer to crack it the rest of the way and slide it off. I've always found that the be the easiest way to get the inner race of a burnt up bearing out. Just make sure you don't cut all the way threw or you risk scoring the shaft. Hope this tip helps you out next time around.
