"Major Breakdown": How to replace axle and housing John Deere 4650

[e-mail]

[@jordanriggins4954]

Dylan I worked on the farm most of my life and this is the first time I have ever seen the inside tire removed on the 46 series keep up the awesome work and I can't wait for the next one

Good video should help a lot of folks out. Videos like this is what a lot of guys need to repair their stuff. We have been trying to do the same thing on major repairs we have to do. Just to help other farmers out. Cause lord knows john deere dealers don't know how to work on these anymore.

Hey Guys, excellent work and results! One suggestion, consider the use of 'guide studs' for good control when removing and installing heavy components.....they help tremendously when removing, so its not an all-or-nothing event when you come off the dowels....even more help when installing as you get an early target which has you in perfect dowel alignment. We just make ours to suite....hacksaw off the heads of three or four 6" bolts...fashion the cut end for your choice of removal tool....screwdriver slot or squared off for socket, etc. First started making and using these many, many years ago to set Detroit Diesel heads, which use a head gasket made up of all individual components rather than one piece style. Guides give you a way to slowly lower with precision..stopping along the way to make sure things are staying in place. Taking the time to make, you'll soon have enough diffferent sizes to work with about any job!

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Thanks for the advice.

[@jimpolk]

Hate that you had to do that repair but it was tremendously interesting to me. Really enjoy & look forward to your videos

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Thank you for being here and watching.

Nothing but great knowledge and very genuine and smooth 🤠 🚜🌽!!!!

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Thanks I appreciate it.

We had a 4630 and a 4640 when we farmed. Good tractors.

[@blacklisterd]

Impressive. But which one of you two broke it? 🤪😂 it’s awesome to see two brother get along so well. You each are the others blessing & our pleasure to watch. 👍

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Robert was driving it when the tractor stopped pulling! We're bot pretty good at breaking stuff.

[@jamesnewton1956]

You all are great shade tree mechanics

[@sepresley1]

enjoyed the mechanic work. great job..interesting repair

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sepresley1]

having this done to a 4240 right now...Ouch..

[@bobbyb6673]

You And Robert are amazing

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Wow😳😳😳😳 That was quite the repair!!! All that from the bolt breaking? Looks like it all went pretty well though!! I couldn't imagine attempting that without the forklift!! Really enjoy the shop series , hate the breakdowns are happening though for food content🤦🤦🤦 Man that is alot of rubber across those four tires!! Great job gentleman, look fwd to seeing what's next....hopefully no more breakdowns for y'all though 😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🇺🇸

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

That bolt has a massive amount of torque and preload on it. We may rebuild that final drive this winter to have a spare. It is the same axle that's on our 4640s too. Our forklift is old and tired, but I couldn't imagine life without it.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@DylanJoyceFarms That was an amazing job!! Heck yeah, can't blame you there!! But she handled those tires like a boat!! 😉😉😉 Thank you Dylan!!

[@griggsfarmsllc]

Leave that dual off,hook to the breaking plow and give that tractor a workout!

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Lol I thought you were the soul health man? 🤣

[@griggsfarmsllc]

@@DylanJoyceFarms I ain’t above watching you blow some black smoke. Lol

[@bradrutland5081]

Done that job before had to man it off and on it’s all heavy

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

I wouldn't want to have done it without my forklift.

[@chrisgrabert1879]

Crank that wheel back out a little & move the front tire out and go hook up the moldboard lol

[@erichartwell1229]

bradused thats my favorite

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

It’s a good thing we have a salvage yard in a reasonable distance. It’s the only thing that keeps my old farm running.

[@Smcquoid12345]

Love this channel. Would anti seize work in the hub area where that gear grabs onto the axle?

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

It would probably help, but that's not something that is really used a lot, so it will likely be set up again before it is ever moved.

[@davidthurmond5320]

Not trying to tell y'all what to do but let me tell y'all a little secret about y'all's air compressor if y'all would mount it outside u don't have to hear that dang thing come on and off all day long in the shop

[@jordanriggins4954]

What about a 4960 they are good tractors

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Yessir, I agree, but I still rather have the 4760. I just like that next to the biggest in the series.

[@pierrekolisch7844]

Yours is the ONLY video I’ve seen on removing the axle from the differential. Mine’s a smaller project, a JD 2020, but the principal’s the same. I got stymied after I got the 12 housing bolts off, but I think a come along should break the housing free.

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Yea, the weight of the long axle on the 4650 is enough to break it loose without an excessive amount of prying.

[@gregrhodes8451]

Enjoyed the video Dylan. That tractor sounds good. Good stuff.

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

I'm pretty partial to the way the old tractor sounds too.

[@daviddobson1113]

Grate job you sure save yourself a lot of money working on it yourself. These days parts are a bucket full of cash but as always outstanding content.

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Yessir, I should have mentioned it in the video, but the used axle from the salvage yard was $1500.

[@braydencarlgren1904]

Thank you! I have a 4640 power shift first tractor I purchased. The trans filter filled up with glitter when I started to cultivating. I hope this fixes it.

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

I hope it's a simple fix. It always makes me nervous when there is glitter in a filter.

[@todd1808]

🦾🦾

[@Husker3435]

Great job guys💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻lovin the shop vids for change of pace, y’all keep em comin 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@robertslack4680]

Good work guys.

[@markgamble8377]

Well u guys made a pile of money doing that urself. Plus u got everything to do it. Few thousand

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

It was still about 2000 dollar repair, but as you said, it saved money not paying another mechanic $100/hr.

[@robertmarino2158]

Amazing work , such talent , glad you guys know what you are doing , stay safe , stay strong !!

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Thank you! Will do!
