We have replaced 4 of these on this tractor

[@dalemccary6526]

Haven’t noticed an audio problem with your videos. Keep on keeping on!

[@MarvUSA]

Thanks for not being afraid to expose John Deer's bullshit. You do it without even saying it. Replacing something like that every 2 years is a joke. Thanks for sharing.

[@pistonringfarms8107]

As a deere tech yes. The fan drives themselves suck. But they do work very well when they are in good shape. But also rember that he puts a lot of hrs on that tractor. The years doesnt matter. The mechanical hours the tractor works is what matters.

[@jeffchattin4799]

It’s amazing how complicated these fan drives have gotten. It really adds a lot to your cost of operation over the life of the tractor

[@KALI1080]

The new 9R tractors all use a hydraulic driven fan now. Thank god.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Thanks for sharing Andy. I haven't noticed any problems with the audio. All been good.

Your tracking information on your trucks and tractors is interesting. Keeps everything organized, easy reference, it's great when you're ready to sell or trade all information is logged.

[@seanconnolly7576]

There’s a company here in Ontario close by Nuhn called Clean Fix that makes fan systems for those tractors

[@martinboilard2265]

Hi Andy ! Good job , good comment ! Thanks Andy for your time and everybody have a good day at the farm ! 🙋‍♂️

[@gilreynolds9282]

It’s great that you have a couple of Journeyman Mechanics on standby for all your ongoing projects.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Many heavy equipment manufacturers use hydraulic fan drives to operate variable speed fans. It also allows for the fan to be reversed to self clean. That requires a hydraulic pump, motor and valve. We didn't have many problems with them.

[@stubarry3206]

Who said the audio was bad bud, it sounds absolutely fine to me as usual 👍👍👍

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I think the mic was a little screwed up from back when the camera got hit with shit

[@Ham68229]

All the changes that the AG business has gone through, not a fan of the new stuff of today but, it's amazing to see how much things have changed over the years. Think I'll still stick with the older equipment. No clutches for the fan belt/water pump assembly, just 4 bolts and were far easier to R&R.

[@charleslynch7274]

Thanks for showing us how u keep track of the parts u replace pretty kool that job did not look fun to do but as always u got the job done keep up the great work Andy

[@37903eral]

After having to pull a radiator and replacing it while replacing a fan clutch I always put a thin piece of plywood on the back side or the radiator. With the cost of parts nowadays I think its the smart thing to do.

[@danielhurrle7008]

Great video Andy. Got to be frustrated with doing the fan belt and clutch that many times.

[@edlehman5726]

Great video, and the sound…..has always sounded good to me!

[@mfreund15448]

At least you found the fan before it ate the radiator too!

[@tracydiller9378]

Great video Andy as always. I watch alot of your videos and have not noticed any problems with the audio. Good on my end. Have a Blessed day.

[@KALI1080]

I find it much easier to muscle the fan driver onto the engine if you take the sheaves off first. It makes it smaller and lighter so it is easier to handle and easier to fit between the fan shroud and the engine. Then you can just slide the sheaves on after installing the driver on the engine.

[@chumlee9417]

i dont comit alot but YOURE VIDEOS ARE GREAT!! thanks for the content, Jareds video of the tool box was awesom!! great vids. thanks

[@martinwaddell]

Hi Andy, I’m a house painter and I’ve got a little warner mini staging with folding legs that you might find handy the one that way I can describe. It is a tall, wide stepstool I find it way handier than a step ladder. I enjoy your videos. Thanks.

[@bustertim5333]

Hello Andy and everyone on the farm thank you for the videos Andy

[@paulanderson262]

It is amazing how much engineering goes in to make the fan variable speed. Also I watched a video from ZK MasterTech replace this and its not an easy job no matter how much equipment you have.

[@farmerofgod.5722]

Love the videos thanks for taking the time to make them have a good on.❤

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thank you

[@Chris-hd3yc]

Classic road pop video, you don't know unless you've done it extensively. Much respect and funny to watch knowing the state you were in!

[@dooformuladlx]

There's a reason they stopped using the Vari-cool system on all the new equipment, they have been trouble from day one. The next time you remove a fan drive if you pull back the rubber boot the inner sheave will pull right off and it will be lighter and slip out of there easier.

[@patrickerger7271]

Glad you got both clutchs they are very heavy😊. Awesome.

[@bobcatsmith246]

Hello Andy, The next time you have to do a job like this one, you can use that mobile chain falls, one on each side of the tractor run one chain through the open space and the other one as normal. That way, the chain falls are doing the heavy lifting. The one through the open space you lift up and the other one let out the chain, should be able to set it right in. Love the videos.

[@MarkFox]

Thanks for the video Andy! I have no idea how you always seem to have a positive attitude doing some of these jobs. I really liked Jared's toolbox tour as well, he seems like a natural.

[@Chuck-Guyitt]

That clutch must be a close replica of the old Horton fan clutch off of a silver 92 Detroit. It had to be replaced ever 5 to 6 month faithfully regardless. One winter we just ran it without the clutch completely. The front assembly of the clutch always had attendance to leak air. That is till Detroit finally put new or different seals in. That’s how the 92 got the name silver bullet [to the head] Detroit.

[@mikecopenhaver4484]

Easy Job, not as easy as you make it look. But I need to know where the strip of metal came from. That would educational, and there’s your dinner!

[@williamgilroy8974]

Holy Crap Andy, I don't know how you do this seven days a week.

[@corinschick8172]

Great video Andy. Nice to see the pulling down and rebuilding footage occasionally. I don't know why tractor manufacturers don't make the fan cowlings in sections so we can remove part of them for access. They're so awkward to work around. I'd love to see the rebuilding of those fan clutches. I'm interested to know what that strip of metal wound round the shaft was

[@samstahl9510]

When you grease these fan drives annually or at 500 hrs you can put a lot of hours on them, I put 5000 hrs on one

[@christisking7778]

[@TheBibliofilus]

Putting basically CVT-clutches in a dirty environment, like on the front of a farm tractor is the worst possible design choice they could have gone with.. The fan on the JD forwarder i maintain is hydraulically driven and therefore variable speed and also reversible and has now run for 17000 hours without any maintenance in a very dirty enviroment. Plus it moves the fan in front of the radiator so the front of the engine is open and roomy and accessing the belt is easy.

[@jakeschisler7525]

Andy hangs on the wrench to torque the bolts to spec, makes my day!

[@m9ovich785]

I too never had a problem with the Audio Andy... Seams like an over engineered system for the Fan. Just rip it all out and use an Electric Fan LOL.... Thanks. Mike M.

[@flatheadV8]

Have you ever thought about getting a mobile set of steps or a platform, much safer than a ladder. The correct platform might also make life easier and I am not talking about a pallet on a forklift. Medical bills can also be expensive.
