Spring time service calls...never a dull moment with John Deere tractors!

[@johndeere1951a]

Outstanding performance young man 💚💛👍👍 Work safe- live long. Retired MBenz & BMW Master Tech, 48 years. New Hampshire.

[@scottbuss3449]

my dad was a master ag tech for 40+ years, i went on many service calls with him in my youth. I see the same skills in you that he had. He went back to the days when he had to make his own parts due to the war (WWII) Your vids bring back many memories

[@lounar482]

Seems like a great job...when you know what you're doing. Fortunately, you do...big time!!

[@DieselFuelGarage]

I'm a heavy duty diesel tech and just came across your videos. I like when your talking about the aftertreatment system, cause that's one area that I just get and know exactly what you saying, it makes me want to get out of bed and get right to work. I would like work on tractors, but I live in NY and there really isn't many places around. But anyways keep the videos coming, you keep me inspired

[@ZKMasterTech]

Glad you like them!

[@alanbexten1931]

Really ENJOY watching you work on everything you get for the day's job REALLY INTERESTING TO ME. KEEP VIDEOS COMING !!!

[@lastguy8613]

Hey Zeth I really enjoy these service videos, it's cool to see what you do out there. In some ways I'd imagine it's more fun being out there rather than on a monster project in the shop, until it rains at least lol. Keep em all coming anyway!

[@davidkraft3690]

I still marvel at the complexity of the modern tractor . sure lucky to have a good knowledgeable tech like you and josh

[@MarkTheTractorWhisperer]

Looks like need a DTAC Report on that Ground Cable.

[@Carnold_YT]

Never a dull moment with the FAV! Great update, I like these service call videos a lot Zeth. Keep them coming!

[@GICK117]

Very interesting to watch. I enjoy the actual wrenching needed on some of these calls you do. Very informative. It helps me be brave to tackle my own mechanical issues we run into.

[@martyn2141]

Thanks for all your work in providine us with the great content Zeth.

[@garygentry583]

Love your videos! I'm not a farmer or a mechanic, but I enjoy watching you diagnose and fix things.. keep up the great work! Cheers from Posey County Indiana!

[@arzamumma1202]

Viewed 5-1-22 from Illinois Hi Zeth.............Excellent video showing your trouble shooting skills and repair. Regardless the color of the paint, it takes a profession who knows what they are doing to keep the equiptment running.

[@rypkepaulusma]

'Tractor is in ICU', 'Hydraulic nightmare videos'... Besides being highly skilled and knowledgeable you are absolutely hilarious. Please keep them videos coming!

[@donpeterson9282]

Ya, I agree that the ICU comment was great. Zeth has that calm way of going about things and explaining what the problem and solution is the videos are very enjoyable and relaxing. Great comment I thought.

[@ljs6446]

Great video nice to see how you fix things. Hope you're daughter had a great birthday !

[@ollie-lk5dx]

I like your service call videos , They are very educational .

[@williamorman4779]

Again zeth,i think your a top notch mechanic, very respectful,.

[@frasermathers2287]

Hey Zeth, thanks for your usual great explanation of each task as always. Really enjoy your service calls as it shows how adaptable and flexible you need to be in your role and the range of your technical skills and knowledge. I have now fully caught up with all your videos, so just keep drip feeding us guys as we need that IV line to keep us fully engaged in your journey! Thanks

[@ZKMasterTech]

Will do!

[@aredmustacheproduction]

Busy busy busy, great video, thank you

[@bmfarms1368]

In our experience with 13.5 it’s always the water pump and deere acts like the problem doesn’t exists. Both 13.5 we have had the head bolt and gasket pip done and problem still existed

[@mikehupp2913]

I do like your day to day challenges

[@andrewkaras8001]

Love your show from townsville australia

[@barrycassaday]

Your a busy guy during this season.

[@dsmreloader7552]

9560 and EGR coolers are notorious!!

[@donalddehaven3229]

Another video with great content. I really enjoy watching. You make it all look so easy even when you face challenges

[@2kbill846]

Ditto! I feel like I'm at ag tech university. Thanks for taking time to share your considerable knowledge.

[@williambryce8527]

Awesome "Day in the life" video!!!

[@0dbm]

Manufacturing mistake, your the best QC inspector they have , tell them

[@jimclary7309]

Zeth great explanation as always. Thanks for the ride along. Enjoy the service calls. I'm amazed with your technical skills. You're an awesome individual. Keep the knowledge coming. Definitely look you up at the next one. Stay safe!!

[@Grangeservicesag]

Hey Zeth. Another great video thanks for the time you take doing it all. Milwaukee 3/4 drive gun for the win. I got one about a year ago and haven’t found anything it won’t undo yet! Stay safe buddy Thanks from Lincolnshire in the UK👍🏻👍🏻

[@rod5262]

Thanks for posting. All very interesting

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video ZK. It was interesting and enjoyable. Wow. Lots of interesting service calls this time around. Enjoyable watching you figure out the problem while out in the field. Then analyzing the problem and the fix to it. Enjoyed each one you did and how to handle the fix. Busy time of the year with equipment back in the field. Thanks for talking us thru each situation. Sorry about the tire delay. Always something it seems on the road. Like your new Milwaukee three quarter drive wrench. That will take on the heavy duty jobs great. About it I guess for now. You take care and be safe on the road. Lots of crazies out there. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything ZK. The Iowa farm boy. Steve

[@soderholmfarms4654]

You do a great job with the videos and more importantly, the service work. Thanks!

[@ronniedavis3273]

Hey Zeth love the field call videos! I will continue to follow!

[@8NVITE]

as a farmer with green equipment, man this is great content

[@ZKMasterTech]

Spread the word!

[@josephdahl9354]

Awesome video Zeath. I really enjoy learning from your videos. Keep em coming brother.

[@gregorythomas333]

Love how the tool is built right in :)

[@henriarsenault1784]

Just a thought if it was constantly regening because of the coolant it will use a lot of extra fuel. I have found that will cause the oil to thin out and grow.

[@user-gq6lk6re2h]

send more service calls like this vid........great!

[@mikescaffo4850]

Keep up the great work

[@dln11]

Great job Zeth!

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank You for sharing

[@genechronister7085]

Great vid! Keep those deere's turning dirt!

[@tiptop7104]

Enjoy all your videos, very informative

[@wilsonallen2782]

Always an informative video.... if you hadn't of been following the truck so close you could have seen the debris or was you playing with your phone... either way you were too close. Stay careful out there.

[@williamosullivan5920]

hey mate really look forward to watching your videos thank you bro big love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@edwardball790]

I definitely prefer the 3/4 milwaukee to the 1/2. Yeh its a bit less versatile but i guess thats what a mid torques for. The 3/4 is just a lot less rattly and loud than the 1/2.

[@greggfrei6832]

Another great video, thanks for showing your A/C reclaiming setup

[@marlondeere3039R]

I like the service call videos. Good one.

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Great variety of service calls Zeth thanks for sharing 🦘👍

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Lots of work out there to be sure! Thanks for another cool video.

[@nathansparrow1416]

yes getting out on farms doing 3 of 4 jobs a day is great job satisfaction , I have done this for 37 years in England , the machinary is smaller here and now I work on other makes , mainly JD .

[@audiman_1274]

Love your video. Cool to see how the day to day goes.

[@danbonikowske5870]

Love papa roach, huge fan of them

[@MikeT]

I have a set of those Knipex in my line box at work. They are awesome

[@lespeterson3426]

Now you have me looking at every ground frame to starter looks like to use the same wire on a lot of them.

[@sterlingspencer2934]

Love these videos they are very interesting.

[@deanfrancis6474]

You rock,keeps tires side down

[@jasonpals4506]

Need more subtle @vicegripgarage references such as "I cannot believe it. But I guess I got to, because I'm looking right at it."

[@timjorden8329]

This was great Nice to see a variety of jobs

[@garylatture8948]

Very interesting You are very skilled and experienced

[@2007dalin]

sure seems like this new equipment takes way to much service work.. tractors used to run 4k hours without touching them

[@matteo692]

Le tue avventure son fantastiche !!!!! Avete anche in America problemi con i semiassi degli 8000 gommati? In Italia molti ….. Ciao Zk sei il top ! Seguite seguite seguite !!!!!!

[@randydehne8866]

Great video Zeth keep it up.

[@TRUCKMAN-zg4xh]

Love it

[@danielplagerman3077]

Awesome video I appreciate your work. I'd love to see you use service adviser on the tractors doing tests and programming! Thanks

[@ZKMasterTech]

I don’t show anything done with service Advisor.

[@BeingMe23]

They need to make a Service Bulletin for a clamp repositioning

[@lanwickum]

Never so busy as when working on Deere. Never got to work on a CAT ag tractor in my 8 years with CAT. Never seen one come into the shop for work.

[@brianrutherford3681]

The tire trouble sucks crap try having a dual on a semi blow up like that at 3 am .

[@BruceBergman]

As essential as tire chains in Indiana - snow country.

[@BruceBergman]

Ground cable tabs Kop-r-kote T&B compound - like a Copper Anti-seize and contacy grease. 13:27 We used between bussbars for contact resistance reduction.

[@BruceBergman]

Thomas & Betts electric tools. 22:02

[@charleslloyd4253]

Funny how these technological marvel. Have more parts to break. and cost more to fix. A friend of mine spent more money servicing his 2020 tractor in one year. Than he paid for his first new tractor in 1973.

[@jabbasan12]

Great content, very interesting

[@kevinback2543]

It figures all the tools and knowledge you have and a tire stops you. Oh well. I like your glasses

[@ZKMasterTech]

It only stopped me for an hour and a half.

[@blueocean9305]

Never need a reason for a new tool. Enjoy!

[@kevinklingner7712]

I would make one with heavy welder lead. It would offer a. degree of flexibility.

[@jacobmillspaugh2162]

You watch a lot of Vice Grip Garage don’t you 😂. I’m not a huge John Deere fan more of a Case IH man but damn I do enjoy your videos and couldn’t help hear VCG in a few of the things you say lol.

[@MrJugsstein]

good vids 👍

[@lesterburritt2038]

Awesome video zk love rhe channel

[@paul_nwsxs]

Emissions requirements are more trouble than they are worth, things are just so complicated these days

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Seems like JD would redesign that ground cable and give owners a new one. What kind of mech would not raise this to the problem level at the factory. Makes me really question JD Quality Assurance Program. Pretty sad to have this kind of junk on a $500k machine. Looking at that is seems they will all fail at some time. Great job figuring that out. Awesome channel.

[@donpeterson9282]

What is the radius, in miles, of your service area. It just blows my mind to see how complex these machines are in comparison with the 48 'B' John Deer the 57/58 '60' John Deer and the 42 'B' John Deer I operated from the mid 50s through the first 3 years in the 60s. OBTW after watching you channel I have been wearing the high mil black gloves and I have eliminated the skin problems I had been having on my hands when working in my shop. I didn't experience the handling problems I thought I might. In fact, it seems actually better and since they fit tight I can still feel irregularities as well as before. If I were a professional carpenter they would be calloused and probably wouldn't bother me. I figured if you used them it was a good idea for anyone. I have a little arthritis in the hands and neck (typical for a 79 yr old) and they ache after a long day. My wife gave me some CBD salve and the stuff has really helped me. One uses just a little bit and the secret is to work it in good. I use it at night. That seems to work best. Thanks for being a good example of a mindful worker.

[@SolemnSentinel]

There's a lot of differences between the green and yellow, but seem to have a lot of the same problems.

[@abdullahford569]

Zk master mechanic.🔧💚

[@slivers4007]

Now that you bought a "one Key" Milwaukee tool please register it in case it's stolen!

[@ZKMasterTech]

Already done 💪🏼

[@chrisluttor2275]

I suspect that the engine may also have started intermittently due to the loose positive cable on the starter.

[@BruceBergman]

Why don't you have ySpare tire? That's an Essential! Get a bed mount if necessary.

[@popswrench2]

snappped at the crimp seam ??? possible but not common and yeah with twists stressing .... yer on it ,kid 😂🙂

[@brandonhickman6658]

Boy farming is a different scale out on the Illinois prairie, even the storms are bigger. Just curious if you have a lot of Indiana customers? Great video as always!

[@ZKMasterTech]

Just a few in Indiana.

[@canamsven671]

Stimmt es dass die Neuen John Deere Traktoren beim Kaltstarten nicht mehr vorglühen?

[@travisstovall9566]

looks like a pump off of a maxxforce dt engine

[@victorbellan8357]

What is a fuel dosing system ? Thanks for sharing!

[@mikescaffo4850]

Keep

[@mattchurico8523]

Hey If you could keep me posted on the 3/4 gun I am a Cummins tech I was looking to get one for engine overhauls big bolts etc just curious to see how much different it is than the 1/2 in

[@ZKMasterTech]

Will do

[@planeiron241]

that 9630 is by that 🌳 just before the 🐓 that crossed the road👍👍👍🚜🚜🚜🚜🤨

[@billboy7390]

Everything you need but a spare.

[@ZKMasterTech]

Yup. There’s a big fuel tank right where the spare goes.

[@godsmack113]

I have a question can you do a video on getting an old iron 730 back to life again back up and running again

[@ZKMasterTech]

Yeah if you bring one to me

[@carsonrea9102]

I’m a new jd tech…just curious how long did it take you to complete John Deere University? I saw the plaque on the wall. Great videos btw

[@ZKMasterTech]

Six years. Thanks

[@coltontollefsrud7693]

Awesome vid as usual. I am planning to do the JD Tech program soon. What tools and brands would you recommend?

[@ZKMasterTech]

Awesome! Usually if you go through that program you can get 1/2 off snap on. So I would get as much snap on add you can through that program. But spend it on hand tools, ratchets, wrenches, and sockets. Then once you have a good base you can get brands like Tekton, gear wrench, and sunnex.

[@andrewcollins3787]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@L1890G]

Hey everyone, I’m a couple months from starting my job search upon completion of tech school. I’m curious to know what things you look for in the new guy or new hire outside of the obvious ( being on time, pulling your weight, etc.) also any tech related interview questions to prepare for, or questions to ask a possible employer. Thanks I’m advance for any input.
