If anyone is thinking about being a mechanic, this is how it's done! Love the attitude, the skill, the knowledge, the patience. You make this stuff look easy and heaven knows it's not! Well done. From the look of it, you're worth every penny they are paying you, and they probably should pay you more! I'd love to have you work on stuff for me but I don't have anything like a 9620 RX! Your talents would be wasted on my little 30 horse compact.
Zeth, you could walk into a job at any Deere Dealer, World Wide. The sales boys sell the Green Dream, you handle the nightmares. You do it very well. You are bringing a huge amount of respect to your profession. Thanks for showing how it is when things go wrong and showing how to turn the nightmare back into a Dream Green Machine.
@@ZKMasterTech watching a good mechanic, he often makes things look smooth and easy. From experience, I know it is definitely not. I have great respect and appreciation for you and others like you. (The only bad thing is when the bill comes! 😉😄😄)
He brings a lot of respect to the profession of field service, but there is no saving face for John Deere anymore in my opinion. I hope they go out of business sooner vs later and the executives lose every red cent (spoiler: they wont).
its also what happens at case, new holland, kubota, massey. fendt. The problem is deere is the most used there issues get highlighted. Go look at Mike Mitchell. Nothing but problems from his new fendt. It happens with every brand.
I watched many of your videos, your level of professionalism and attention to detail is impressive. I wish every john deere dealer had someone like you. You live up to your user name, "master Tech" for sure.
Well now Justin, I think I saw you working with Zeth on a 9630 axle bearing failure and you both looked very professional. I'm sure Zeth's knowledge and skill is going to a good place and hope to see your YT videos one day.
My 1st tractor driving experience was on a 1957 JD 720 Putt Putt named Ole John. That thing was powerful and wasn't anything it couldn't do on the farm I worked on. Sadly it was sold and later burned up in a barn fire. Lightening was the cause.Take a kid and start him out working with the demands of a farm & he / she will quickly recognize whats needed to do all the jobs. Teach them how to do repairs and they will never forget. I know I used to do the work, but things are far to complicated nowadays for these old hands. Thank God for young men like you Zeth, the equipment has a chance to be recycled back to work.
You Sir are at the top of the food chain! I don't know how I found your channel but I'm glad I did. Please keep the videos coming. So refreshing to see a true mechanic plying his trade.
Pro tip for situations like this. Make what’s called a fit up bearing. Basically you use a sanding drum to sand the inside of the bearing until it will JUST slip on when cold. This would allow a temporary bearing which will allow it to function to get it on the truck and back to the shop. And then when it’s back to the shop that bearing is a slip fit so it comes off easily and get put in a specially labeled box that specifies it’s not for final installation. Those kinds of bearings are usually used by mechanics and axle builders that either don’t have ready access to a press or don’t want to be pressing bearings on and off while they figure out what shims it needs.
This! I have a box with a disgusting amount of fit up bearings in my shop that I'll bring with me in the service van whenever I have a hunch that we're looking at a bearing failure out in the field.
Just found your channel, and glad I did. Nice job. Your calm demeanor and depth of knowledge of Deere equipment is outstanding. You handled a difficult situation and made it look easy. Clearly the sign of a skilled professional.
Great job getting her moving again & great video shots. You make it look easy and we know it's not. Quality technician that cares about his work. I've had contact with a few out there that would put on a new bearing and seal then turn it back to the customer just to have the entire transmission blow up a few days later.
Excellent job John Deere ,the factory engineering department should watch you're videos i am positive they them selves could learn and see some design flaws,John deere should be very lucky and appreciate too have a tech like you servicing there machines. Service is what matters the most,all machines break somthing once in a while LOL.
Most authorized repairers report back to deere anyways, so they are aware of what breaks are common on the machines. That being said, a single bearing failure on a new machine is probably not a design flaw, but manufacturing or installation error that happens very rarely.
I don’t really know or want to know how much your paid but you have the skills and knowledge of a surgeon, yes a tractor surgeon but still a surgeon, I certainly hope your company looks after you, if you ever left it would leave them with a big hole to fill.
I can tell You are a very Good maintenance man/Mechanic. I've been a operator/maintenance foreman for 25yrs in NYC and love to have you as one of my guys on a job site.
Brilliant videos, as an ex truck mechanic (old school)I loved watching all this new technology . Sad to see such a premature failure. Watching from Perth Western Australia 🤘🤘
I grew up on John Deere equipment in the 80's. I remember driving a 2240 and mowing with an 850. Wow have these things gotten more complicated. Your videos are awesome keep em going.
Damn way to get a work out, no? You are a smart and apparently very stout young man. As you get older, you will learn to work just a tad smarter instead of harder. My son told me that one due to me always muscling things together. Now I live with 3 surgeries to my neck and a bad back. I really enjoy this channel and am very happy you lowered the music volume. ' Thanks a ton
Putting a light couting of lithim grease helps getting parts back on with the heat/cold procedure. I learn this overhauling aircraft engines replacing valve seats and guides.
Excellent thought processes while you work to Repair something in less than Ideal Conditions, Thank the Lord your not out in the Dust or Mud, wind, rain or snow trying to fix that. I've been in a situation stranded in the middle of a field for 3 days, with large pieces of cardboard from produce tote boxes as a wind break and ground cover, had wind, sleet dust & snow. Fun times before I got her out the field. It looked like a large Homeless Village from a distance :). Keep up the good work & Videos. Very Informative. You are one in a Million.
I can't believe an almost brand new machine had a mechanical failure like that. Pretty disappointing but I'm sure they were glad to have a mechanic like you on call
Friend buys a new Audi high performance. Trans is removed and repaired under warranty 2 months in shop,only 4 month old. Told the dealer we have 3 choices. 1. Return my money. 2. Provide me a new replacement. Or 3, my lawyer will be in touch. He drove it until the replacement car came in. This is the store I'd related to the JD dealer.

Great Job and perfectly explained what you are doing. It looks so easy if you are repairing this monsters, but we all know it is not. Keep in doing this videos and thanks for it.
I'm a deere tech in florida we don't come across very many this big mostly 6 and 7000 series. Were just starting to get into and learn the autotrac and GPS. Good job man. Looks like from your videos yall been doing them for a while
I carry a stainless steel sauce pan in the truck. Main purpose is to cook thermostat soup. Put pan on opened vise add old stat along with new stat, cover with water. heat with rose bud. Bring to a boil, watch stat openings. Able to accurately identify bad stat. I have used to heat bearings. Cover in oil, no direct flame on bearing. Must proceed with caution. I have caught the oil on fire.
Please get your shop to buy you a good induction bearing heater like the SKF induction heater TIH system or something like so you can safely install bearings and sprockets/gears and such. Hopefully you have a small generator on your service truck so you can run it. And have a demagnetizer as to not attract metals suspended in the oil. And a good pair of heat gloves. I was cringing as I watched you pull that tapered roller bearing out of the oil bath/turkey roaster pan with your channel locks. You are a good tech! and good tech's deserve the correct tools for the job. Double kudos' to you! And please have safe travels.
Don’t know about the Green Dream, more like the Green Nightmare from the videos you post. Good field work, takes me back to my days as a FSE on container handling fork trucks
Great video, something I do with my Rattle gun in tight spots is to swap out the big battery for a smaller 3 amp, the lower profile of the battery can mean squeezing into a tight spot, cheers.
If you ever come across drivelines that won’t compress or extend I have used really thin feeler guages under the slip joint seal to relieve it of the air lock in there making for easier fitment. Obviously need to be extremely careful not to damage said seal. Cheers mate
Gotta love brand new equipment, I work for a n equipment rental company. The amount of brand new equipment that lasts an hour on the jobsite is amazing. Had a manlift not even make it off the truck before it poured oil out of the extend cylinder. When it was installed at the factory they knicked the cylinder and it tore the seals out.
After watching one of your videos I had to watch another. I burst out laughing when you said *Lord o mercy* trying to man handle that 90 lbs heavy axel! 🤦♂️🤣 Once again more tips & tricks shown and in the field! 👍 Keep On Rocking Brother . . . 👍🍺🍺
You did it just like I would have except, I would have not replaced the bearing and seal, I would have had a 55er of oil delivered and fixed it in the spring. Lol. Great job.
My pappy always said you got a bearing heater on the exhaust pipe of your service truck boy. If bearing will lay inside put inside. If not, fashion yourself a pipe to put in exhaust and hang bearing on.

Автору лайк, хоч на відео все гарно і легко, але знаю, що це зазвичай не так просто.
All that trouble could have been caused by one little bit of metal, possibly from manufacturing getting into the bearing ! Hope the tractor was still under warranty. Interesting to see how much rusty metal there was where the paint had not reached as well.
@Ian Kiefer….although I’m a part time green tractor mechanic, after a nearly 40 yr. Career in aviation working on large and small jet engines, commercial airliners, warbirds and helicopters….nuts and bolts are nuts and bolts doesn’t matter the color or size…..high quality tools ( although expensive) are the only way to go…my arsenal consists of Snap-On, Mac, Matco and older Craftsman tools…Milwaukee fuel battery power tools…. When a technician is miles or states away from their shop, they need to rely on what they bring to get the job done, effectively, efficiently and safely. Good luck…
The first and second video I watched had bad bearings , so I'm thinking John Deere may need to check their bearing quility . It's a lot cheaper to have good bearings than to do major work like this. The 9630 that had bad axle bearing.

All that trouble could have been caused by one little bit of metal, possibly from manufacturing getting into the bearing ! Hope the tractor was still under warranty. Interesting to see how much rusty metal there was where the paint had not reached as well.
He mentions it is a new machine, so it's most likely under warranty
Love the video's... sucks knowing us farmers get service call charges for the manufacturers screw up
Not if it's under warranty like this one.
When I saw that leak I knew that bearing was toast. Crazy that some new stuff can fail like that.
So watching you work on that green stuff I think you more than earn your keep 😊
A great vid. Good work, well done.
Another great video ZK!
Excellent field repair. It is a shame of the amount of brand new equipment you keep going. Nothing lasts like the old stuff anymore.
FYI, if you reviewed tools, I'd totally take your recommendations! Keep up the good fight, sir!
@Ian Kiefer….although I’m a part time green tractor mechanic, after a nearly 40 yr. Career in aviation working on large and small jet engines, commercial airliners, warbirds and helicopters….nuts and bolts are nuts and bolts doesn’t matter the color or size…..high quality tools ( although expensive) are the only way to go…my arsenal consists of Snap-On, Mac, Matco and older Craftsman tools…Milwaukee fuel battery power tools….
When a technician is miles or states away from their shop, they need to rely on what they bring to get the job done, effectively, efficiently and safely.
Good luck…
You are a wizard!
Great videos thanks for sharing really enjoy them
Still better then working on a Chrysler. Good fix in the field to get it back to the shop.
I have never fixed or been even close to a farm tractor but I love how stuff works.
I love this guy!
Excellent work 😎
Thank you!
Nicely done Zeth, looks like you had the tiger by the tail on this one. Crazy failure with that low of hours.
Thanks man! It was an adventure for sure
The first and second video I watched had bad bearings , so I'm thinking John Deere may need to check their bearing quility .
It's a lot cheaper to have good bearings than to do major work like this. The 9630 that had bad axle bearing.
Be interesting to know which country's still manufacture bearings, and their quality.
@@edwinhsingmaster9135 ... Count out the USA we don't make anything maybe tooth picks , no wait they are made in China also.
how could this happen to a new tractor? my 9400t has like 19,000 hours. has had issues but still going strong
Any idea what caused such an early failure? Just a bad part from the lot?
What a legend you could make a fortune on your own top man
