There was an update for the master clutch in your 7140. From the factory they have a needle thrust bearing that tends to fail, and Case replaced that with a bronze thrust washer. If that needle bearing fails you'll get bearing needles in the hydraulic precleaner screen on the right side of the rear frame, the master clutch assy has excessive end-play and the teflon seals leak that charge the clutch piston. Putting it in reverse charges the oil circuit so the master clutch engages, and the end thrust on the gears is the opposite way from forward because they are helical cut gears. Even though the transmission itself was apart, that's a 6-speed powershift section. The master clutch and range section is in the rear frame.

[@josephgottwald9445]

All that work to be at the bottom 😂

[@DLCFarms]

You might have to have the accumulators recharged on the transmission 17:45

Unstoppable force meets immovable object: Big Bud

[@mg-pf9xv]

as for your Magnum trans question , the shift linkage could be worn , but as a rule when they do that the f-h-r cable is out of adjustment or loose , a few warm days here i Illinois , planters are running

[@CGW116A]

Nice to see "Grandpa Bud" alive and going to be working hard rolling this planting season! Watching your videos for so many years "Grandpa Bud" has come to the rescue many times with failures of the series II and III during planting.

[@ryanedwardson6541]

Love Grandpa Bud! He's totally gangster.

[@phillipmoorman830]

In regards to your Magnum transmission problem: The first thing I would do is make absolutely sure the FNR cable is adjusted correctly and the inching cable (master clutch) cable is adjusted correctly. Try putting the shift lever in forward and then bang it to the left while in gear. If the transmission engages then the FNR cable needs centered. If none of that works then you need to put a gauge tree on the TCV and check clutch pressures. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out.

[@bradpogue3448]

That is a huge land roller. That will make short work of the field work.

[@kevinkrage1642]

That genuine chuckle from Bob at the end of the video when he's showing the kids play in the snow is heartwarming. You all are a beautiful, god fearing testament to the strength of a strong family. Thankyou for sharing your world with us. As a believer myself, I find inspiration in your videos!!

Rollers work by pushing stones down and preserving moisture

[@issacwright9512]

We run 7100 magnums. Try adjusting the forward/reverse cable. Take the panel off by your leg/seat and you can adjust it there.

There is no identical twins here but there is most certainly 3 identical voices. My goodness. I have to look at the screen to know which of these 3 gentlemen is speaking. Just by listening to the voice yer not going to know. Father and sons can often sound alike but here they sound identical. That’s pretty cool actually.

What I’ve learned is that moister can make or break you. To much=no crop. To little=no crop. Get a nice amount=good to great yield.

[@skidoorulz4914]

My Magnum expertise says if you had the dealer rebuild it and it hasn't been right since it got back to you. Take it back to the dealer and have them do it right at no charge to you

[@nealreardon]

Line pressure issue on that magnum more than likely. Had the same problem on ours

[@8950MAGNUM]

sounds like the shift cable needs adjusted correctly on the magnum

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Seeing water run like that on the fields feels like a miracle after the last 2 years. Let’s pray it continues to rain this summer and NOT hail for a change!

[@paulanderson262]

I had the same problem with my 7110, I had to adjust the cable linkage on the left side of the tractor. It probably was caused by wear in the linkage, but by playing with the length I got it to work.

[@darrenlee2775]

Seeing all that water shows my prayers have been answered. I will continue to pray for the Welker Farms family to have a safe growing season with abundant rainfall and above average harvest. I love seeing you bust out the Big Brutes!

[@died4us590]

I pray that you continue to get rain along with this water throughout the year with no hail or storm damage. I have been watching you guy's for year's, and love your video's. G-d bless.

We do know him

[@scotnewberry734]

@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob Yes sir worked for Flexi Coil in the research and development department directly with Terry testing the 7000

it is pressure or flow trouble could be as simple as a o ring cut or missing when they put it back together or something big in the pump they missed

[@harared831]

I`m servicing N14`s every day like the one in "Grandpa Bud". We use them in a flat layout in train coaches. They run for 1,2 mill kilometers before overhaul. Very rare they fail, a injector change and some valve adjustment and they are good to go.

[@russrecker5344]

It's nice to see that amount of water. I hope you get a good harvest this year.

Need to recharge the detent accumulators Left side under the cab ladder area That should fix it

[@obamabigears734]

That was my thought exactly

[@kjsmyth2]

three things, cable adjustments, pressures, and charge accumulators on shift valve. likely the accumulators, they are junk, always were. book says 60 psi Nitrogen of course, dont be afraid to go by 5-8 lbs as needed. they can be overcharged also which is not good. cables and accumulators are the most common failure on the magnums. good luck, happy seeding season. nice to see some moisture! cheers,

[@markreetz1001]

Nice seeing all the equipment getting field ready! Welker Mountain seems to be in full use.

[@randallparker8477]

Magnum transmission: sounds like the valve body / bodys are sticky. Flush and change fluid may unstick things.

[@mattvandevelde3839]

20 year Case IH tech here. Your fnr cable needs adjusted. If you pay close attention the shift handle is not perfectly centered in the neutral slot when out of park. If you have a lot of play in your shift lever you may need to tighten it up. If the lever is difficult to move a new cable will resolve that. Probably a good idea to replace all 3 if it wasn't done during the rebuild. Clutch, speed, and fnr.

[@WelkerFarms]

Thanks so much, when we get a chance we will look at what you said. Probably needs no cables as I'd imagine there is slop if they are originals.

[@mattvandevelde3839]

[@adamgardner4213]

Magum trans no mission - Easiest fix possiable dirty filter knowing you just had it rebuilt I would suggest carfully screening fluid If you change filters and have "mud" in them that is your clutch lining material My guess is friction material starting to delaminate off of clutches- bad deal

Scott have you given any consideration to epoxying the garage floors in your new house. I highly recommend it. With the dirt, snow, it will much easier to keep clean and save the concrete

Nice to see you are having good weather and have a moisture base to start the year. Is the series one going to need duals to get enough traction? I really like the Welker ski hill and the laughter, like heaven. Patch and the other Patch are good dogs, hope Pete (?) is good. Stay safe and healthy.

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Spring time is here. Busy busy time getting everything ready for spring field work. Wow, you have water all over the place. Never seen that before on your farm. Hopefully that is a good sign for moisture for growing crops. Got the duals on big bud and looking good. Now just need the injectors set on both tractors and ready to go. Never seen the older big bud used for field work. Think you said it will pull the land roller. Assume the other tractors will do the seeding then. Busy busy time coming. Hope the water in the fuel tank on the older big bud does not cause you any problems. Time will tell I guess. About it I guess. Thanks for updating us on all going on to start seeding and spring work. Busy time for all of you and Cody. You talked about the transmission on your red tractor. I never had one but from what Nick told us might be something on the clutches or possibly needs just an adjustment. Hopefully nothing too serious. Thanks for everything Welkers. As you start the 2023 year I am praying with my blessings that you have a good crop production year after last year. Bless all of you. Take care and be safe. Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy.
