I saw one of your (Sloan Implement) combines helping harvest some winter wheat for a farmer that had lost everything in a tornado. Millennial Farmer was recording Farm Rescue helping those folks out. Thanks for supporting them.
Whoever thought up those pins was a smart person who made that so much more expensive than the older models 😂that’s my opinion on them lol great video thanks for sharing
Agree seems overly complicated for what it is. I'm no engineer though! 🤣
It was funny watching you trying to get that motor to slide in there 😂 the hesitation was real and I could see why!
The size and complexity of equipment just boogles my mind compared to the '60's and 70's when I in high school and college!!
Im from east side of europe and i love to watching your videos. You are doing great job and teaching at the same time.
Thank you very much!
Show us the Motion next time! Always good to see the fruition of your labor...
If there's one thing I'm picking up from all these great videos is that JD engineers are a couple of steps up the convoluted design ladder from German engineers.
Claas has put these machines to shame in the fields
I’ve done this job on a s680 multiple times. It’s not a fun job lol 😂 , also it was in the field.
As I watch the precision / complicated parts you work on....Can’t imagine the teams of Design Engineers who originally created these unbelievable machines....
Worked for greens/ heritage family farms in Arthur, 7mph with a 16 row head is getting things done. It’s really unbelievable
This guy has some big guns for arms. He sits down to torque bolts to 235# without any problems. If it were me, I’d have to stand on a cheater bar to get things down that tight. Nice job. Good video!!!
Hi, I am a new subscriber from AUS and I’m really enjoying your videos so thanx very much for posting. Unlike many contributors, your commentary is very instructional and informative so please say as much as you want as it’s all great info.
hello, great job, thanks for sharing your skills about that topic :) 👍
Some interesting technical content here Zeth. I'm not sure that motor arrangement is a good design. Thank you Sir for taking us along. Good that you have your customer's best interest at heart on warranty , rather than the OEM.
I have an X9 in Farm Sim 22 and concur with your clients, I love it!!!
I have a set of tool steel wedges I had made with nice chamfered edges and various angles . They would have been perfect for getting that tie rod off . One each side and tap them in .. if the space allows 👍
Bless I'm a new subscriber & I thoroughly enjoy the videos. Have always been amazed by these Green Giants. Thanks 😊
Welcome aboard!
Well something new zeth.nice repair there not something to rush with as they all look heavy parts 👍👍👍
Man I tell you what John Deere has it figured out. Everything I look at whether it's in person or in a video like one of yours their engineering is just really something else. I like how they have the hydraulic power going to that drive motor. You were smart to put those hoses back on. I did a drive motor a little while back on 120 foot boom man lift and I put the little plastic caps in overnight..came back the next morning to 56 gallons of oil on the floor lol.. you only do that once
It's amazing how you stay updated on current technology. Maybe soon you will be fixing the robot farmer that comes with the tractor.
It is amazing how complex the design is. I appreciate your methodical approach to the repairs you do. There is a good lesson there. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
How much does that repair cost I can imagine
Nothing is ever said about any repair cost
I’mm not a fan of JD, but I like your videos and I keep learning things from you. Keep up the good work. God bless.
Its crazy how large and heavy that hydraulic motor is. It is good to see what you are getting into with an x9 combine.
is this a warenty repair to head off a recall?
Love John Deere! 👍
What a machine ! You must spend a LOT of time in school learning and keeping up with the tech to work on these machines.
Nice calm approach, nothing hurried.
very good work
Beautiful job, I couldn't get that thing in my shop
The way you explain every step of the way is so amazing haven’t had any experience with the Combines. Have stinting farming with an old A84 . Have moved a lot of John Deere machinery over the years use to bring 2 combines a time back in the 80s from Perth to the Eastern states had to replace the drive tyres 10/20 tyres and the back of trailer the other combine tyres sat in a recess. Had wing we folded out for the rest of wheels to sit on the other truck carried the 2 fronts in Australia
Thanks for another great video ZK. It was interesting and enjoyable. Wow. Big job. Replacing that rear drive motor was not easy and heavy duty for sure. Most of the steps you showed us you had down pat and assume you reviewed the plan in your tech manual. I would be somewhat afraid of that job but you came thru in flying colors. Nice work ZK. That was heavy duty work all the way. I learned a lot watching you on this one. You amaze me. You just have at it and know your plan. My sincere compliments to you ZK for doing this motor replacement work. Thanks for everything ZK. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Thanks for making it understood this is a warranty repair.
Another great vid! Very informative and interesting! Keep the deere's running
That's the plan!
Great video Zeth. Thats my dream job.
Great video as always. Thank you
Another great job Zeth thanks for sharing 🦘
What an enormous Machine! Everything about it is BIG. Takes a big man to work on it. Good show Zeth.
Clean/precise work ethics - enjoy to watch. 👍
Excellent job...appreciate you showing your skills n Talent
It's my pleasure
Wie immer, merci für das wir dabei sein können 🇨🇭😇
You need to do a video of the fuel tank pip. I'm doing that one next week on an 1100.
Hi zeth,another great video,our seasons now starting here .I do new holland and already got combines breaking so know how hard it can be especially working alone long hours .but as you say we keep it going keep up the good work .
Great video like always! thanks for the overview of the two models and comparing it to the 790, that is quite the savings and productivity gains. Nice work on the camera angles, the appropriate edits and having it in one video. Thanks for sharing with us!
Glad you liked it!
enjoy your videos... good work
15:05 this guy really loves the green iron 😅
Does JD not have tech manuals.that provide.detailed instructions on maintenance tasks? Seems like you just do the best you can do.
Sometimes they can be vague. But they are pretty good for the most part
That takes more than a notion to replace that motor , as always , good job Zeth ! I'm not so sure that everything new is necessarily better than the older stuff .
ZK, I’d much rather hear the torque and kw numbers over the HP, of you have them. Torque rating is where it’s at.💪
It's not listed on the specs
@@ZKMasterTechI found it. No torque, but it’s (1100) rated 450kw and max is 515kw.
Saw that 2 1000 traded in at our local JD dealer. Crawled all over those massive green giants. Makes me wonder why they were traded in. Cost of ownership vs lease option must be very high for one season.
Thanks for another great video Zeth. That sure was a heavy drive motor and I like to picture weights in my head and was trying to relate it to how many bags of sugar it equaled. Here in the UK a standard bag is about 2lb (1KG) and that sure would have been one mighty pile of sugar 🙂. I take the old motor goes back to the factory for re-manufacturing?
Thanks for posting this. Nice work. Question 1: Would the top cap have gone down easier if the strap tension had been released (at minute 20:47)? Question 2: How did you get those down pins out of the tie-rod end? Question 3: What were the failure symptoms of the old motor?
Really curious which golfcourse uses the giant lawnmowers!
look like a realy good combine, broken and new :D
Good job, thank you for posting,. I have never been too comfortable with that type of rear wheel drive, I remember the early J.D. Tractors with front wheel assist, not one of J.D. best ideas. Aside from that the X9 Combine is very good
no way you could gear drive in that setup.
X series combine. Interesting. I always enjoy watching your vids. Very well done and informative.
How much of the horsepower does it take just to move that behemoth? I have a 1928 Rumely Oil Pull 25-40 that rates 40hp for the pulley and 25hp for the drawbar accounting for the hp it takes to move the thing. It's interesting to see the new technology. Thank you for sharing great, informative videos. Please stay safe, and God bless.
Hey there Zeth, I hope this finds you well? 🙏 Those X9's are massive when compared to everything that came before them. 😮 That watch on your wrist looks awfully expensive for a Service Technician to be wearing while on the job? Another great fix, and your attention to detail is commendable! 👏 I hope you have a good one! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲
It's an apple watch and it's held up incredibly well. I actually use it to control my camera on and off.
@@ZKMasterTech lol..... I'd break it in a New York minute. 🤣
I'll have to go in and see how those tubes work. Seems to be a little like the center hydraulic fitting on an excavator
Hey zeth really enjoy your videos I have seen your grease gun you need to buy the locknlube grease coupler also I'm from south east saskatchew an keep up the great videos. Brent
Oooh gush I enjoy your works zm
That flashlight taste good? Can I make a suggestion. Go to Olight. They have some great flashlights including some that clip on the brim of your hat. A little pricey but worth it I think.
Hah, totally different ballgame from the wheel motor I replaced in a toro 4500 rough mower at work. The old motor had a good sized pinhole that corroded its way through the cast iron. We were constantly filling the machine up with oil and the mechanic couldn’t find where it was coming from. I eventually found it but the way the machine is built I had to have the mower on Jack stands and lay on my back on a creeper and then man handle the motor up until we could get bolts in. Now keep in mind, I’m not a mechanic. I’m a laborer with an interest in mechanical gizmos. So often I’ll take on some of the stuff I know the mechanic won’t do. But it was a fun experience. And I don’t know what the hell was going on with the motor but it had like 6-7 hydraulic ports on it. So that was fun 😂 Honestly looks like your job is pretty straight forward aside from the behemoth of a wheel motor you’re dealing with. And that strange assembly with the oil tubes. That’s weird.
Can I ask a favor. I love your videos. Can you also include the time from start to finish on these projects. I so wish I had your skills.
Unrelated topic, I can’t find the video but I was wondering how those brunt work boots were ? Great channel helpful information keep up the good work!
Good job !!!
Just when you think they can't make these machines any more complicated -
I'll take electronic diagnostics on the x9 any day over an s series having everything broken down into subnets is a dream
hello friend ZK great video very cool these John Deere X9 engine Was it a lot of trouble? thanks arm
Thank You.
Good job Zeth, awesome video! Is that the only way to seal up a RWD hyd motor like that or was the motor replaced seeing it was under warranty? Keep up the good work! 👍👍
It was under warranty and they do not have parts to rebuild them yet.
@@ZKMasterTech OK that makes sense! Thanks!
very good
Hey Mr. Z, does that Wheel drive motor work through planetary gears in the hub ? Thanx for sharing, good video. 😃
No they are two speed, direct drive, cam-lobe type, radial piston motors.
Man those tire dollies make it look easy 😂
Another great video! Thank you! I do have a question.....what's a machine like that worth?
They are $1 million new.
New to the channel, I've been using the JD lithium complex to grease my tractor and mowers/spindles. Should I be using the polyurea grease? And are they compatible? Thanks!
They sure are more complicated than the older Mud Hogs. Do you know how many gallons per minute ? Are they a 2 speed ?
Do you think that the LSW tires may have been the reason for the motor to start leaking. I don't believe that I heard where it was leaking from??
When putting that motor in, I would’ve put a lifting link in the tire bolt hole, put the strap around that, and then used a 1/4 ton come along to level it out.
I apologize if you already covered this, but where did you get those plugs?
I think they came from Uline.
Where did you get those tapered plugs from
Hmm hydraulic driven wheels never would have thought ... Worked in Navy Aviation what pressure is your standard op pressure... we did 3k and we used a red fluid ... cant remember the spec or civilian equivalent
Beast working on a beast! Just kidding Zack .. okay?
I have taken a tap and treaded the inner part of dowel , then use a pusher bolt .
OMG Heavy METAL
My 9770 John Deere combine has a power steering Lock up, but everything thing else seems to be working fine. so any tips on how to fix it?
What Sloan are you located at man a guy I work with in Indiana goes there every weekend
I hear some guys say they like s790 more for beans because they think it had more power than a x9. Cant remember if that was a 1000 or 1100
How much would that wheel motor be if not under warranry?
In your video you use some orange rubber plugs to control oil leakage. I have looked everywhere for them. Where can a person get it them?? Thanks
Amazon
How’s the corn yielding
What you doing with your tractor tires off of it
Where does a person buy those orange oil plugs?
GENIUS 🤠👈
Interested in some lsw tires for the rear end of our combine, what size were those tires?
1000
Big Sloan Implement Def Leppard vibes going on today
hi where is the grease nipple for this motor?/pins? i didn't see any
They are on the motor
I call them orange plugs cat weiners 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Does it need a alignment done after the tie rod replacement lol
I was surprised you don't wear overalls/coveralls? What's that all about? Don't they do your size?
Question, why didn’t you flood the new motor with oil prior to closing it up? Isn’t there a risk of damage ? Great work as always!
I didn't drain the system down so the hoses filled the motor up when I hooked them up. I had to put 5 gallons of oil in it to top it off.
If I drained the system down completely then yes I would have pre filled through the case drain port.
ZK. How many thousands of dollars in drive belts are there in those 1000 series combine machieans. They look like a person could spend a whole day per side just replceing drive belts along with a good burrows belt tension gauge. Oh, one may want to talk to God about which way that belt went, even with that pretty belt pathway diagram. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👈😎
How many engines have you replaced in the x9 ?
None
@@ZKMasterTech I have heard of a few flying apart already
