[@johnboybane778]

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video zeth . Love ur family intro , best ever intro. Like the boss says I don’t care how u do It just get it done the right way

[@ivoryjohnson4662]

Josh is a good worker and seems to be a highly motivated person as well

[@glendawagner8825]

We had to do the rubber drive on our 9770 JD Header which failed in the paddock on the side of the hill, and of course nothing operates once that goes. The mechanic from Pringles Ag Services from Wudinna and another from Cummins arrived, and they said it would be going by the end of the day. Which he did so we could start reaping again. The hydrostatic was drained and removed with an articulated loader which worked well.

[@glennrhinehart3186]

You are a large credit to the AG industry. I’m sure your clients are great full for knowing when your on the rescue it will be done currently. Excellent tech’s are in high demand and you sir, I consider excellent in my opinion. I’ve known some excellent tech’s in my years and always treat them with utmosts respect and gratitude. I call them all friends. I hope your dealership appreciates your skills and dedication. As I’ve said before I enjoy your content. Excellent!!!!

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Glad to see Josh is Sticking With it and Helping you Out so you can enjoy Time With your Kids! Today Is my 7 th Anniversary of Retirement after 33Years and No I have a Girl that’s Almost 7!

[@marlondeere3039R]

When running that telehandler wouldn't it be nice to have a couple headsets. Your little girl has the cutest smile, great kids. Good reason to go to work on Saturdays.

[@rightwingfarmer]

This channel has convinced me to stick with my 9600's.

[@medic001465]

Been a career paramedic for 26 years. Stumbled across your channel by accident, and am hooked. LOL

[@ZKMasterTech]

Thanks!

[@certifiedwrenchpodcast]

Thanks for the shoutout boss man, can’t wait to have you back on for another episode!

[@ZKMasterTech]

Let’s do it!

[@dustinb9105]

Guess I've always taken the main engine gearcase off. Never thought taking the engine out would he faster. Cool video

[@marksawyer5299]

Man Oh Man..Do I remember harvest time. The customers that knew they were prepared probably were..The ones thought they were.. probably weren't. We spent days in the field away from our families. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Really enjoy fallowing your videos. As a farmer myself. Thank You 😊

[@rogerbredeweg1063]

How do you remember where all the bolts and nuts go?

[@peterferguson7679]

love the kids being involved well done

[@davidkraft3690]

Great video .Two surprises for me -1 the fact that combine needs TWO alternators and 2 - the small size of the starter motor for that ENORMOUS engine ! Your kids are so precious ! thanks for sharing a clip of them. Your daughter has your pretty eyes !

[@mtwz71]

That was a nice sized job. Yall did great.

[@JimWhitaker]

Great shot of your family supporters!

[@dontwantone1001]

Thats a mountain of work for a simple seal. Great video. Keep the content comin. Really enjoy your channel.

[@lounar482]

Utterly amazing. How in the world do you remember what goes back to what??

[@frombryant6678]

My thoughts exactally. I couldn't do it no way. Zeth must have a photographic memory! For me I take a thousand pictures & that still gets confusing.

[@doughuffman5790]

John Deere Service Advisor for the win! Imagine the NDA Zeth had to agree to.

[@maximfdrv]

Thanks a bunch for a great video. I use to turn wrenches on construction equipment and remember this feeling when you need to replace seal you have to pull the engine out. Seal cost $20, labor cost thousands.

[@robl7253]

Good to see you back Zeth!! Missed your videos.

[@mikeclifton7778]

Quite a strip down for a leaking seal. I remember seeing a Bentley Continental GT with the engine out to replace a sensor! Great content as usual Zeth!

[@ricko3145]

Its a great feeling going to work and having to confidence to achieve anything. Takes years and years if not decades to reach that level. Love the channel keep up the good work

[@eduardocarvalho1547]

After watching this I'll never complain again when I'm doing a crankshaft seal on my car! Nice job!

[@garyriggins3354]

Glad to see you back online, was jonesing for them,lol. You have a very good looking family.

[@robwar2288]

We did that in the field last year with our 9770!!! This video would of been nice!!!! Took all our crane had to lift it! We were at it for 2 Days to pull gear case😂😂😂😂👍🏻

[@rypkepaulusma]

For a moment a thought you had Vice Grip Garage at work 🙂 Great video, and what a lovely family. That's what it is all about.

[@rob.diversaoo4400]

Hi zeth,as a UK combine master tech for New holland .it's nice to see another tech working as hard as I do day in day out.Excellent videos .also nice to see a fellow professional at work on another brand .deeres look a lot harder to get to things.keep up the good work

[@ronlawson5819]

Good game plan and execution

[@henkbeld4987]

You need a demo of manitou or mangi for a rotating telehandler whit a 5ton winch and a remote for operating that machine so you can stay next to the engine and see exacly what you are doing.

[@brucehobbs1734]

Like this format. Great video!

[@farminginbrazil]

REALLY REALLY NICE VIDEO FELLOW! HAVE A GOOD ONE. 👍👍👍👍

[@paulbush7095]

Go get ‘em Josh! It looks like he’s gained a lot of confidence while working with you Zeth and he seems to be asserting himself more. You guys work well together and the way you tackle those complicated and massive machines is very impressive! I don’t know how you manage to record your work and keep track of all of those parts at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

[@ZKMasterTech]

Thank you! Yes, Josh is a bad ass tech! He’s doing great.

[@mikescaffo4850]

Iam really enjoying your videos keep them coming and thanks for all your professional work 👍

[@stevenicoson6670]

Most interesting. Can appreciate the way you and josh did this repair. Not bad once things were peeled away. Many thanks guys. The Iowa farm boy.

[@tyorkshireman5678]

I am an agricultural engineer based in the uk, I love the vids watching you work on some proper sized equipment. It on my wish list to come over to America and work in a dealer.

[@lespeterson3426]

Family and Job come before KZbin. I look the other day to see what you've done,I figure been busy fixing peoples little green tractors and the big ones too.

[@tommyk1073]

Zeth, I live in Ohio..I was at the farm science review today in London and they had a 1100 series JD combine on display, along with all other types of equipment. That thing is massive and an engineering marvel..it’s a huge neural network of hydraulic hoses. You guys,for sure, gotta know your stuff when working on these beasts! Great video man!!

[@nickpersenaire4443]

Thanks for sharing another great episode Zeth, 👍

[@micahharman1493]

Did you replace the rear main seal on the engine while you had it out of the combine? Great video as always

[@rogertucker6662]

I did one of those seals last year but I pulled the gearcase . Definitely alot of stuff to take off but I don't know if the engine is easier or not. Did most of it by myself and then had to wait for about a month to get the new seal because they were unavailable . Mine the seal popped out of the small housing so I replaced the housing also.

[@donalddehaven3229]

So glad you are okay and back with a video. You have a lovely family and can see how much you love them. Great video. You make it look so easy. How I would love to spend a day with you just to hand you tools. I’ll even bring you coffee. Love the channel

[@JoshJos-Shwa]

You make me miss being a auto tech..lol.. Great work though man. Never worked on heavy equipment ever... Very interesting.. wish I took that route

[@nowwhat413]

Nice to see the new guy still pushing thru..

[@williamorman4779]

Zeth,you and josh make a great teem.your channel is very informative, keep up the great work, and be safe.

[@ivanristivojevic2325]

Great job Master! 👏👏👏

[@paulbush7095]

Hey Mr. Z! It was so cool to see your little Z’s with you. You have a beautiful family my friend and thank you for another entertaining and educational video-even if it was a long time coming 😊. (You know you are a victim of your own success when you catch grief from viewers for not posting videos fast enough!)

[@ZKMasterTech]

Thanks Paul!

[@earnestbowes5813]

Was this job on warranty or customer had to paid for your excellent work

[@ZKMasterTech]

Warranty

[@bertrutledge4546]

Great video. I know it is a busy time of year but you gotta spend time with your family. Working, videoing, editing, posting all takes time. Will watch what you post when you post it. That was an incredible amount of work and you two work good as a team.

[@ZKMasterTech]

Thanks for understanding!

[@XBJAJ]

Incredible job congratulations!!!! good videos.

[@cindybarlow5130]

Love this family!! Keep up the good work Zeth!

[@daveblane6442]

Adorable kids! LOVE you all!

[@ronaldchurch6356]

Made me nervous with him in the engine compartment. Engine drops , no escape.

[@dln11]

Another good one Zeth! Keep up the great work!

[@tomkey8896]

Great job Buddy, and yes you do need an overhead Gorbel hoist system.💪👍

[@basiljeffrey5926]

Great tools and the knowledge of using them ! One thing missing,a portable coffee machine?

[@mikeoneil2281]

great job 👏 y’all have it going on. take time for the family too. i know it’s the busy time

[@goodfriendg]

How many thousand dollars did that 8 dollar seal cost to replace? Amazing that the cost of these machines and a small seal will shut them down. And people wonder why farming cost so much. Good job 👍🏻

[@bluefin0075]

That’s a big project. How many man hours is a project like this and cost? Great videos. I don’t farm but I love to learn.

[@braxtonfontenot5119]

Keep up the videos and hard work. Always enjoy the content

[@dogcreek8547]

Those youngsters face say a thousand words

[@frasermathers2287]

Hi Zeth, first class job as always! This was a clear case of working smarter and not harder, and as usual you and Josh made it look far easier that I am sure it really was. You are as always, a credit to the name of Master Tech. Was great seeing you with some of your family who looked really happy to be on camera. What do you think was the cause of the main input shaft seal to fail? Thanks as always from Scotland.

[@ZKMasterTech]

Those seals are defective. There’s a new deal out now.

[@ovabarton2810]

Put a chainfall between your Telehandler attachment point and your lifting rig on the engine would give you much better control !

[@stevetrowbridge7101]

You are a very good tech enjoy your videos .

[@rcktransportinc.4312]

I'm surprised you didn't check the beating play on the shaft where the seal was bad. I was always told by the elders 'what caused the seal to go bad to begin with'

[@ronniedavis3273]

Good one Zeth!

[@conradbolton9232]

Great getting a rough idea on how long the different jobs take. 👍

[@rongrose3746]

Precious kids you have there !!

[@elis51501]

Seems so sketchy for Josh to be that close to all that weight, glad everything worked out

[@TheSillybilly15]

Great video and great music

[@pimpmasterflex101]

I still can’t believe a shop like that wouldn’t have an overhead crane

[@jamesbreault5762]

Nice looking family

[@samrugtiv3839]

Well done

[@wry569]

Great work and two happy kids!l

[@jamesbreault5762]

Either way it's a big job man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@forrestaddy9644]

Nothing I've seen in your nany videos suggests John Deere ag equipment is built for repairability. Diagnostics maybe OK but access, removability, etc definately sucks.

[@trevorn9381]

Damn sure nothing a farmer can repair himself. There was not much on the 00 series, 20 series and the 9000 series walker machines that a farmer who took ag shop class in high school and owned a decent set of tools couldn't fix himself.

[@dsop66]

masters for sure!!!

[@valearl4693]

Your kids are the cutest!

[@jasonnyquist8982]

How many hours on the combine ? , great video

[@ZKMasterTech]

1100

[@BruceBergman]

You need a crane WHEN you squish your first Josh in the engine compartment. Right RHEN. 31:33

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Wow! Nice work.

[@michaelbuxton9368]

Beautiful family!!

[@davidberger4726]

You guys could use an overhead chain hoist!!

[@ShainAndrews]

We're going full tilt over here. Like somebody flipped a switch and somehow every field is ready to go at the same time.

[@ShainAndrews]

I shouldn't have said anything. It rained most of the night. That is going to put the whoa on everything.

[@macdawg6403]

Love what ever content!

[@davidandkatherinewheeler3551]

Great video man, lots of bolts to pull these engines! Seems like good techs like you can still get it done very timely 👍 What was the name of the podcast

[@ZKMasterTech]

The certified wrench

[@davidmexicotte9862]

cute kids, proud of their dad

[@robertpeters9438]

You know, a micro radar could detect those rocks and prevent such damage. It would be a great option on new equipment.

[@johndeereal1]

You are a Madman !!

[@BRPFan]

Great video like always! Surprised your not on the road this time of year! Or are there lots of other service call techs? Our John Deere dealer has 13 service trucks and they go hard all year long from early spring to late fall.

[@jamesbreault5762]

Grea job guys👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@petergardner2334]

skill fully done👍

[@paulweston2326]

Wow i'm pleased my 40 year old New Holland doesn't need this amount for work doing, why can't John Deere make a combine that will last 40 years

[@rrotwang]

Great job you should be a professor

[@johnpowell5424]

Looks like Deere could take a page from cat and design all that as a power pack assembly.

[@walterhiegel3020]

Been watching for a while and love the show...I realize that you guys are very busy but with the engine out and the radiator in clear view I was wondering why you didnt give it a quick burst of air and clean it out? It sure looked like it needed it to me. I love watching to see what is in these giant beasts and don't mind seeing a 2nd one if that is what you are doing. Thanks.

[@ZKMasterTech]

Thanks! I didn’t clean the radiator while it was in the shop because i didn’t want dust going anywhere in my bay and in the engine compartment.

[@smitty9733]

The JD engineers should be made to watch this video and be challenged to design an alternate power drive so that replaceable wear parts are much more easily accessed . The current design is flawed.

[@douglasvieira8281]

I'm from Brazil, heavy mechanic, really enjoy your content. Heri me...
