Customer noticed a hydraulic oil leak on the front axle of his John Deere 9630 tractor. After checking the axle bearing end play, I knew this axle was coming out! #johndeere #johndeeretractor #johndeeretractorpower #Johndeere9630

    • It's like the repair of a motorized heater flap in my old Lincoln Town Car, The Money Sewer. $30 part, but $700 to completely remove and replace the dash assembly to get to it. After a long and bloody fight, FORD warranted it. My wife loved that car, wouldn't let me get rid of it. She got mad when I danced after a truck hit the front tire/fender and it was totaled. I couldn't fault the mechanic's prices. It took a lot of time to futz with the dash, but only about 5 mins to replace the part.

    • It's not really the bill's fault, but take into account that many dealers or repair shops sometimes if not often, have poorly trained personnel which most of the time trains on your machinery while you pay repair hours, not to mention in the field or in farm experiences with the dealer, when you pay for the hourly x2 because they send 2 individuals, plus their transport, and it takes a full day to diagnose, and after some few hundred bucks, it was a cable, or a fuse... At least that's what happens in Eastern Europe.

    • The money isnt for knowledge or labor, its for the heavy machinery to use brute force for disassembly/reassembly. Other than that, a pretty routine diagnosis.

Offcourse, you never know if the price is worth it before you brought anything anywhere for a repair, but experience goes both ways and is priceless.

  • I just found this channel, and I’m very happy I did. Great job showing what goes into doing the job the right way. One thing about welding bearing races to shrink them out. I do it often but once I had a very heavy duty race that I had just pounded out. I set it on the bench and a few minutes later it exploded! Now I wear a face shield and am careful when doing that so I don’t get shrapnel imbedded in my body. The hardened races don’t like the weld stress too much. I hope this helps some people avoid injury. Also with that collar and inner race you had to fight with that big puller and heat. I would just take a cutoff wheel and cut 1 groove into it at 12:00 and get pretty close to the shaft but don’t hit the shaft. Then just give it one good hit with a hammer and chisel in the slot and it will crack it open and you can just tap it off the shaft. No puller or torch needed. Keep up the great work!

    • The groove trick is real nice for the bigger bearings, saves a LOT of acetylene and O2. It can get tricky to split open the smaller ones without cutting deep enough to get the shaft sometimes.

  • I really enjoyed the video. You know what you do and it shows in your work. I worked for a John Deere dealership in germany 20 years ago. The biggest tractors we serviced where 8000s. There was a rumor back then that two 9000 series tractors exist in germany. Removing and installing bearing races is such a satisfiying work to me! Also this work, while heavy is also delicate. One tipping over shaft and the toes are alot flatter. Also from my understanding your are well equipped. So that you can focus on the work and not have to fight the lack of equipment much. I would appreciate the huge workshop you have there, because it gives all the space needed to do such work. But you always get the noice, smoke, dirt and dust from the other guys also, I asume. And also I like all the self built gear that you have around. It was the same where I worked. We borrowed special tools from Deere and the old timers copied it, so that we would save like 13,000 €. And we had like self built wrench extensions around which where forged by the old timers, back then when there was still time for that. And thoose wrench extensions where so tough and well made, they never failed. Regardless of how much load you put on them.

  • Zeth, Master Tech, perhaps not a good enough description of your skills. Just watched the video showing the work on the front axle. No software, no electronics, no laptop. Heavy lifting, special tools, working to tight manufacturing tolerance. Understanding heat and cold treatment of steels. Having to be careful with hot oil, hot bearings, being aware of the guy helping you. Carefully replacing bearings and rebuilding the housing to Deere's specifications. Welding, another skill needed. No wonder the customer would want to do the other side as well. If he watches the video he will see he made the right call. Yes it is more service work for the dealership, but also knowing that the tractor is repaired properly, will be good to go for the customer for a very long time. The previous video was the 8RX, all laptop, code, cables, adapters, software, old software, updates and improvements. From a blacksmith to a magician. So, Grand Master ? Great Master ? Deere Master ? Complete Master. Green Iron Pro might just do it. Thanks for the videos, a Master Class.

One point on torqueing, we were taught in the USAF that you should only click the torque wrench one time, each additional click actually changes the torque value (I realize at 670 ft lbs a few more lbs probably makes no difference but in another case maybe would be crucial).

    • agreed, then they dont bother using it (or something like it) to do the actual bearings ?! Whats this tapping it with punches bs? If they didn't seat themself, hitting it on one point, with a punch aint gonna do anything

  • Back in the late 70s I worked for my Dad at a John Deere implement shop as a mechanic. We used the same techniques back then welding a bead in the racer, heating the bearings using a rice cooker , and we used lead ball to it find how much shims were needed. It seem lot we did a lot of bearing jobs when farmers were water leveling the rice fields.

  • If I recall the lead ball technique came in somewhere around the 50 series. The old 4020 and 4430 would just be a torque to about 75 ft/lb and lock plate. After the lead ball procedure, we did all with the shim pack just the way you did this one. Nice work. Tip- our grocery store has dry ice, I have used it to aid in thermo shrink when needed. (4850 pto fix…..book says double split…..with dry ice on the back race removal, you can eliminate the 2nd split)

    • The lead ball technique came into play because the 30 series had all kinds of trouble with axle bearings. Also the brass "thrust" washer is a joke. We never put them in because they always destroyed themselves and introduced end play. We never had trouble after getting rid of them. I've done many hundreds of axle rebuilds and they aren't difficult if you have the lifting equipment.

  • You could get a bearing induction heater, maybe in works like this you could save time, make less mess than use hot oil and being more accurete with temperature. Also, you could measure the spacer and the shaft so you could calculate the temperature you need expand enough to create a clearance fit. instead, for bearings is better to not exceed 230°F.

  • In a JD dealership in late 80’s. The 5020, 8630 were just torqued to 10? foot pounds, then the triangle lock plate was installed. On the 5020 I did, the bolt was loose & backed out enough that the lock plate was between the heavy washer & the bolt. I unscrewed the bolt by hand. Being in north east Montana in the winter, we put the axle in unheated storage, Technical Assistance told us to heat the oil to 400°f, we had to tear apart shotgun shells to get our lead balls, because JD did not have a part number for them yet. Part of the directions that we got from JD technical assistance were hand written. After every step we had to call technical assistance to see what to do next. They would tell us, then send a fax repeating the directions. By the time that I did the 8630, we had a 3 ring binder service manual along with the paperwork from the 5020. When we ordered the shim kit for the 8630, it included 8 lead balls. We had to rotate 20 revolutions in each direction after each torque stage. We use someone’s 10 foot satellite dish base to hold the axle on the 8630. On the 5020 we mounted the tire on the axle as a stand. The procedure is basically the same way today. We had to tighten the bolt till we had about 50 to 75 foot pounds rotating torque, that was to get the bearings seated or your zero end play. We only used the dial indicator to verify that our end play was in the new JD specs. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.
