The manufacturers (all) make equipment way, way too complicated for the average farmer who has average knowledge and average tools to work and fix today's equipment. The only way I know to combat this is to stick with older equipment that we can repair without having to call out two high-priced mechanics just to load it on a damn tow trailer and haul into the shop.

Zeth and Ben, they will have to call you the dynamic duo from now on! That was a masterclass in teamwork. you both knew what you were doing and let the other one do what they needed to do, with barely a question between you. As you were getting going, I had a semi flashback to when a friend and I were sent to recover a tractor from a yard where it had broken down. Only problem was, that said yard, was 9" deep in slurry and neither of us had been told about the slurry. I was the first to get there and didn't know how deep it was and just started to walk across the yard. I got literally 2 paces across, and was in 4" of it, right over my boots not even wellies. That was literally a shit job, that I left that night! At least you got the job done to get it back to the shop. Hope to see the Pt 3.

@andrewmaiden3738 Ай бұрын

The reasons for elongated holes are limited to 3 reasons: poor metal quality of either component (Hub or bolt), incorrect bolt tensile or more likely loose bolts through lack of service checks and lack of thread lock. The latter has been a big factor with wheel loss on many vehicles. Is there a regular servcing advisary on these components?

@SteveNicoson-u1i Ай бұрын

Thanks for another dynamic video ZK and Ben. It was extremely interesting and informative to see this track progress fixed far enough to load on a trailer to take to the dealership. My compliments to you ZK and helper Ben for the work you did in the field condition no less. Wow and wow. Looked like a difficult job in the service bay much less out in the field. That track is huge and must weight as much as a car I am assuming. Glad you have that crane system on your truck ZK. Almost impossible without it. Wow. You and Ben did a great job of retreading those bolt holes good enough to get the track back on and good enough to load on a trailer. You both just amazed me on how you tackled the job and got it put back together again. Neat story they put the big tires on it to replace the tracks as a new track system was not immediately available. Good solution to that issue for now anyway. Keeps the farmer in the combine for harvest season so all is good. Appreciate the hard work you both put into this project and got the combine moving again. Amazing work ZK and Ben!!!!!!! Great job done!!!!!!!’ The Iowa farm boy. Steve 😊👋👍👍✅🇺🇸

@WilliamAngus-d7g 5 күн бұрын

Bolts are essentially mechanical springs. Many bolt tightening specifications call out a bolt torque. The bolt torque causes the bolts to be lengthened or stretched. For an excellent bolted joint, the bolt axial stiffness needs to be much lower than the abutment (the two pieces of metal, the combine's final drive hub and rubber belt drive wheel, that are bolted together). By doing this causes the external loads on the bolted joint to be seen more so by the bolted joint abutment than the bolts. If this ratio is not correct then the bolts will loosen up and the carnage seen in this repair video. Why the Deere engineers said to get the paint out of the bolted joint was to try to minimize the amount of M24 bolt preload or bolt stretch loss due to the softness of paint. Paint in highly loaded bolted joints should be avoided. What would make this bolted joint be more robust would be to use longer M24 bolts and long but hardened, thick-walled spacers. Look at the back wheels on these combines for there are long thick-walled spacers with longer bolts being used.

For fixing threads or rethreading I would use "Taper Tap". Tap aligns in the hole faster which helps in preventing tapping crooked. Not very useful in shallow blind holes.

When you are trying to pick up a damaged interior thread, a bottom tap is your last choice. A Taper tap /starter tap is your best choice with a Plug tap as second best. Makes catching the true thread much easier.

More common than you might imagine with big displacement diesels .. The lower skirt of a piston snags the sleave on the downstroke.. Then drags that or a portion of the sleave down to the crank.. and well.. it does not stop there.. the other cylinders that are still firing tend to send things into orbit..... Far more common with fresh engines and Good ol' Master Tech would set those to run hot and at a higher and less efficient engine speed to wear in the cylinder walls.. Dougo runs a lot of BIG iron and probably knows that not only gives less torque but also costs more in fuel..... Doubt very much that Brody did anything he hadn't been told to do.. Probably was on the cold side and throwing out max torque when things went into orbit... Doesn't really matter what color they are.. it happens... Hate to see it happen to such hard working people.

That track assembly weighs as much as an old Chevy Suburban. At least it wasn't raining. How could those huge bolts come loose? Maybe they need a little thread locker on them? If I had to guess, I would say that someone didn't tighten them to the specified torque at the factory. Maybe temperature change had something to do with the loosening.
