I love Kevin's Can Do attitude... Farmers have to do a lot of things, Electrician, Plumber, Vet, Mechanic, on top of all the stuff about growing crops, financial stuff and dealing with the weather... well done guys. 👏

[@redlock4004]

I think it is the hardest job in the world. A farmer needs to be expert in a huge range of things and work with financial margins that would turn a Bay st. financier's hair white with fear. On top of all of that, they get to work really hard. Major respect :)

[@ctdieselnut]

That's why farmers are the best. Some of the most hardest working, honest, down to earth type of people. It's a hard life for most of them.

[@jacobszymczak9323]

This and all transmission rebuilds seem like a "how hard could it be" job that you start then never can get everything back together, either loosing, forgetting, or putting in one small piece wrong and have to blow it all open again. Great job on this.

[@bensymington5550]

I wouldn’t wanna be the one paying for it

[@DresdonAcacinTheOriginal]

thats how rebuilding my lawnmower diff went, broke the open dif so I welded it(pro tip torch the gear to burn off the oil before welding) and uhhh not so much forgot to put a part back in, more so that I forgot on my unit, like a bicycle, it needs to be engaged to pop into gear. Guess who re-rebuilt it thinking he messed something up? (:

I'm currently rebuilding an automatic out of an 80s mercedes.....it's been an ordeal for sure lol

[@MrCaptainCornflake]

I'm with Kevin regarding sealant. Definitely falls under "The bigger the gob, the better the job"

[@jrevillug]

Also, it's anaerobic, so it shouldn't clog up any oil passages.

[@Highstranger951]

@@jrevillug you’re kidding right?

[@mtbwheelies2877]

@@jrevillug shouldn't 😂😂😂 but believe me it will 👌😂😂😂

[@jimnaden5594]

Don't use any more anaerobic sealant than necessary. Squeeze out should not cure and get in screen, but it can if there is too much. The suction screen is not very large on those, but all oil goes through the pump, is filtered and cooled before entering the transmission. There should be no sealant used on any of the gaskets that seal the shaft ends. Judging by the amount of external squeeze out they used way too much expensive sealant. Also, I hope they wiped it off, that stuff never cures and you end up with 515 all over your clothes.

[@zabzinski]

@@jimnaden5594 yup, this is exactly how my FR-S died after Toyota performed a valve spring recall on it. They used too much sealant on the timing cover and bits of excess RTV clogged one of my oil galleries, and part of the pick up. Not cool.

I could feel Kevin’s financial pain throughout watching this

[@DrokiHazan]

There are some videos where I'm really blown away at what a clever mechanic you are, and how independent you and Kevin both are. This one, the day you dragged that man-lift out of the old lady's yard, some of the days where you and your brother used to just go start up old dozers in the junkyard for fun. Rich, I think a lot about how I want to own an electric car both for cost savings and for the reduced environmental impact - but when I think about how simple they are and how little there would be to maintain, I really worry that I'm going to lose touch with a lot of the greasemonkey hard-working identity that makes me feel a little bit closer to people like you and Kevin. As the world evolves and changes, I hope we can all still find ways to get out there and get filthy, because your determined nature to reuse, recycle, rebuild, and do it all on your own taps into some kind of primal feeling that I think is very important for everyone and I personally never want to lose touch with. I think your work and the growing audience you're building are important and are a really positive contribution to the world, man. It's not just all just goofy fun, it's important stuff.

[@DGHD]

Thank you very much! That being said, we are building an EV. the 48 Convertible is going electric. Whether we like it or not, it is here to stay. I will always have old gas and diesel though. Don't like the idea of someone behind a computer shutting down my car remotely because they don't like something I did or said though. Will likely be making Bio-diesel this summer too

long awaited and didn't disappoint . Kevin was great on camera, he a natural and great personality, smart funny and humble approach and he thrifty too . Hope his wife appreciates all these amazing points lol :-) Good effort filming more technical worthwhile parts and got enough out of that to tackle one if needed :-) How much Kevin put into the full fix ? The full rebuilds are over the top and wasteful in most cases, if parts in spec/serviceable use them and save material resources and money . The good news is Rich owes Kevin more than the 'fix' cost in hours on the forever borrowed Forklift lol . Looked good fun in the shop, hope first run is slick, all the best guys ...

Love your comments about engineers. It's not a question of intelligence, it's expertise. You guys are smarter than most engineers. And the marketing comments are golden, that's just how they think about "product". I was lucky to work for a company where marketing had no input on engineering, but they did have input on the features we included in our devices, because they knew the customers better than we did.

[@theafro]

I love doing gearboxes, especially big ones. I used to spend my saturdays putting engines and gearboxes back together after the line mechanics took them apart during the week. they were warranty returns going back the the factory from the truck dealership i was working at, and it was really just so they all went back in one lump than as a box of parts. I learned a LOT doing that, a perfect job for a 14 year old! Since then I've always taken gearbox jobs if given the choice, nothing is more satisfying than watching nicely machined parts go together.

Greetings: This reminds me of a bet 2 aquire '39 Herman KooKoo clock I acquired as Parts in a box. I am not sure if they were mad at me or being nice. After some time of scrounging and making parts I finally completed the project. It was accurate about 1.5 mins a week. The sound and original craftsmanship is superb.

Thanks for putting in the time to show us how a big gearbox repair can be done. I've been lazy leaving my truck box without a 3rd synchro for years, but feel more confident to tackle it knowing it won't be nearly as complicated as this. I bought the reco box for a hino engine swap on an old inter firetruck motorhome years ago and the synchro was no good, but the hassle of pulling it out again for warranty wasn't worth it at the time, so just drove it. Wifey wants to drive it now, so might have to fix it after all :)

[@dangerrangerlstc]

I am NOT a Case IH tech, but I've seen clutches like that master clutch before. Pretty sure they're supposed to be dished like that. Helps break the oil sticktion so the clutch doesn't drag. If they were all completely flat, they'd ring together like gauge blocks and act engaged.

[@jimnaden5594]

Those plates are not to have a bevel to them, they should be flat.

[@patd5146]

really interesting video, as someone who used to build transmissions not all companies replace ALL syncros and bearings for new!, that's why they have serviceable used parts on stock!!!.

[@davidrobinson8408]

I worked at a case IH shop for a few years and seen several 9350s in the shop. I never seen the inside of one of those though. I worked on the cane harvester side. I did a lot of work on the 8.3 Cummins and was the shop welder. I did cut out and replaced a few center section pivot plates on the 9350. That was a job. They usually took out the back glass before they realized the steering bushings in the plate were gone and destroyed the plate. I did help them cut up and scrap a few old 9350s and we sent the motors and transmissions over seas somewhere.

[@kingtut5923]

THat's a lot of work , you guys are brilliant.

[@halnutt1790]

Sure I will pull it apart. It getting it back together correctly is where the money is. Been scared before but last time I thought about rebuilding a trans I looked at the new blister pack of parts and took it to a trans specialist…. No problem working on my 6.0 power smoke but not willing to open the can of worms on a transmission. Hat off to ya Kev. Can’t wait to see the Case pop thru the gears..

[@michaelreynolds1904]

Can't go wrong with too much anaerobic sealant! Johnson/Evinrude used on on their block halves for 2 stroke outboards and you didn't want an air leak after all that work! Great video! Not as insanely complicated as I was expecting.

[@ytthecommunistplatform.2675]

Big beefy gearboxes look cool . Nice big gears and shafts . Its the little things that let them down .

[@SuperBigdanno]

The beauty of anaerobic sealer is that it does not harden except where it needs to like on the sealing surface, any extra will dissolve into the oil and not plug orifices like RTV will. Love that stuff but man it is spendy. Great job on that trans, lets hope it all works once installed!

[@stevemcrichards8768]
