Number One ! Know your System !! Eliminate possible variables ! Test ! Replace selected item ... re Test ... then field test ... great diagnosis ZK ...
Some days I miss turning wrenches and then my back and my knees remind me that I don't. Your videos bring me back to what I loved about some of my previous jobs; the troubleshooting, methodical dissection and reassembly during the repair and the satisfaction of bringing something back to life. You're doing a great job and I thank you for that!
You are 100% correct Zeth, that as a tech I found that everyday was a learning day, but also outside of work, I also treated my whole life the same way that you never stop learning about life! Amazing how many people don't think that way. Thanks for a great video.
Seth I have been with Deere for 23 years I am as you a master tech and also a field tech, I have seen this two times on 9560RT’s , it is an internal transmission problem. The two I had had were both tractors at around 250 hours, we had to get them into the shop, at that point DTAC had me installing DR’s in all of the transmission ports running tests, tests and more tests. Turned out because these tractors were so new with so little hours they had use remove the transmissions, they sent us new transmissions, and wanted the failed ones shipped back immediately. Now here’s the thing Deere never told us what had failed in the two transmissions..
"Take that 9460R" I could sense your frustration in dealing with the machine, but you kept your cool on camera, persevered, and got the machine back to operating status. Great Tech skills, I salute you Sir. 😃
I’m a warranty manager for a car manufacturer and I appreciate how you always talk about learning, simple best practices and following directions. Something we work hard at every day with all our tech’s.
Hi Zeth! …. Really enjoying your videos ! And I really hope the top brass at Sloan AND Deere know how well you a represent the companies with your skill and attitude 👏🏻👍🏻 big the green iron moving big man 🦾
Does Deere not realize what a POS the 9R is? I am a die hard Deere customer. I own all Deere row crop tractors and they are hands down better than the competition. Last year however, after several major breakdowns on my 9s, I bought a 580 steiger. Everything about that tractor is better than my green ones. Why they felt the need to over complicate those tractors so much is beyond me.
The 1st time for something that you haven't encountered before is always a great but sometimes frustrating situation however if you figure it out and fix it money can't buy the knowledge you just gained so it's a victory all the way around!!!
Zeth, Enjoy your videos, and your trouble shooting techniques. Love your knowledge and experience awesome mechanic. Definitely look you up at the next one. Stay safe!!
I like your story about the 12th gear . I thought you were going to say it stopped at 20 mph 😂 but I know 7 mph is fast for a machine. Your a master tech I enjoy watching and learning . I’m an outboard motor mechanic . I love farm machinery. Thanks for your videos 👍
I had a new holland t9 last year that had a faulty gear shift solenoid, would stall it out out in a few gears because it was trying to engage multiple gears at once. It did this to the point it burnt out the clutch Pack. We rebuilt the trans and it still had issues, it was only then that we found the faulty solenoid. A $200 solenoid was enough to cause a week long transmission rebuild.
On our 7810, the speed sensor went off. Which made parking jump in when driving. You were glued to the windshield.😂 The error came and went, but after some troubleshooting we found the cause. Spent half a day in the workshop then out and driving again.😜👌
Your story about 4 clutches reminded me about driving our 4994 tractor. you could be in 12th gear and if you hit the clutch it would go back to 1st. If your let the clutch out there was a big surprises
Ya know zeth its jobs like this that makes you a superior tech you didnt give up and i could see your wheels turning the whole time you was in the cab going through how this is supposed to work and talking your way tbrough it either way love the channel awesome job sir😮
I retired from a coal fired steam plant and there was nothing I loved better than putting my mind inside those steam turbine/generators or into the boilers to try and understand why everyone was living through some difficult times. And it could be very difficult at times. Oil controls, electrical controls and air-operated controls and many times those different systems were working in concert.
#1, anyone who puts around $500k in a machine should know to check fluid levels at least weekly. #2, JD diagnostics seem to be very vague in actually diagnosing the problem. #3, the engineers who design equipment don't operate nor maintain what they design, let alone do service on their product. If they did have to turn the wrenches, I bet they would do a better job. Manufacturer shouldn't hire anyone who isn't willing to work on what they design. You Service Tech's have your work cut out for you. Great video!
Had a 988k cat loader. Park brake was a dry cavity except for the pistons. Pistons partially seized, so pressure was good but they weren’t actually released. Naturally operator roasted it.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Well, that was a learning experience for sure. Glad you knew were to look or what to test and all that. I was totally in the dark on this one. Had no idea of where to look or even ask for help. Oh boy. I still am somewhat confused on this clutch issue but followed you on some of the tests and your descriptions of what was wrong and parts needed and all that. My compliments to you ZK. You knew what to follow to check things out and what to look at. Techs like yourself need a pat on the back for figuring it out. I had no idea. Just following you-ha!!! If I said I totally understand what you did to fix the trans , then I am not being truthful. Follow you on the basics but about it. With the technology now days, techs like yourself have so much on your plate to figure some of these issues out. Wow. Nice job ZK figuring this one out. Huge learning experience here. Thanks for everything ZK. I am still scratching my head-ha!!!!! The Iowa Farm Boy.
Not a tech, but I am in ag, My first thought was a bad sensor or electronic problem. These new tractors and trucks are nothing but a pain in the ass. Thanks for the videos. By the way if it's not red leave it in the shed!😊
I did a 450 hour machine that the rivet that plugs the oil passage in the shaft came free It was in the piston and creating millings that were getting stuck in clutch a solenoid It was an awesome place to work lol
WOW ! That was quite the experience. I can see why you are fastening the seatbelt in case you are ejected again. Okie-dokie. . . . "So who needed another drill bit on the assembly line?" Of course, we will never know. Keep up the fantastic work. 😊
What a fun video to watch. Has to be be pretty rewarding at the end of the day figuring something out like this. Kind of the same for me with computers. You have this...this... and this.... that could be the problem but then you get THAT random thing that totally catches you for a loop. Great job man!
Loved this one Zeth, thank you. I was thinking what could have happened while this tractor was in this shed. Everything was covering dust so it had been there a while and it drove in ok. So something happened while is was stood, otherwise you would have got the call earlier. 👍
When you asked the question at the beginning I thought maybe a clutch but had no clue about the solenoid :) I'm still wondering where all the hydraulic oil went though!
You need a macnaught transfer pump for 5gal pails. Milwaukee is good for some Stuff but the macnaught rocks for filling plus they have a meter all cordless
Deere uses similar valves to that on their combines hydrolic block. I had a flake of steel get stuck in one on mine when a hydro pump went out. Those things are EXPENSIVE!!!
29:20 "why you need to calibrate the transmission after a i.e. oil change": You know, after all these years of pondering about that, it actually does make sense. Perfect sense.
Hi. New subscriber. I have watched Some of your videos in the past and Have totally enjoyed them. I don't Know if you have heard but Colorado has passed right to repair bill including tractors and combines.
Hi zk mastertech I've been watching you videos for a while love what your doing. I'm an apprentice for farm machinery ive just started my apprenticeship its hard to buy tools you need. Can you please do a video of what tools apprentices should buy
Well done, Zeth, you show your mastery of tractor systems. Does your office have access to some manner of tech forum where you can input the problem and see if anyone else has had to contend with the same? Stay safe out there.
In discovering the " LETTER " C " and " R " mixing you up , and there being Letters C & R on the side PORT location , would you be sending a note to John Deer engineer department to address to location or even the font size as this could mess with local repair folks.
hola, trabajo en una compañia y tengo un problema con un 9460R al salir la maquina no sale hay que acelerar a 1500 revoluciones para que salga la marcha me ayudarias con un manual de diagnostico
Does JD offer a maintenance contract? Seems like it would be a good investment for JD as well as the farmer. When I was a technician I loved troubleshooting issues for customers with maint. contracts. That way I wasn't pressured to get the job done. I could do what was right and not what was fast.
I have a 7320 with a ivt, it go stuck in park because of parking solenoid defective, I replaced both but now says parking brake won’t release put in come home but kills engine when do that. Driving me crazy… Any ideas?
Filming these videos obviously adds time to service calls. Are the customers charged for this extra time? Just something I’ve been curious about. Other than that I love the videos and love to learn
Hey Zeth, this is off topic of this video but I was wondering if you know when the 18 liter engine that is in the JD 9600 forage harvester will be available in 4wheel drives and possibly combines?

Tractors have come so far in the past 50 years.

I know nothing about tractors, cars and trucks are my thing but your videos are well made and very interesting.
That is one thing about working as an ag tech always learning something new everyday.
The 1st time for something that you haven't encountered before is always a great but sometimes frustrating situation however if you figure it out and fix it money can't buy the knowledge you just gained so it's a victory all the way around!!!
I’m impressed how you figured it out. That’s a master tech. Love the channel
You are a great mechanic and I love watching you and I learn alot
love the snapon light..havent seen that sort here in New Zealand
learning is what keeps life interesting , that's why I like your videos
Zeth, Enjoy your videos, and your trouble shooting techniques. Love your knowledge and experience awesome mechanic. Definitely look you up at the next one. Stay safe!!
Great video Zeth! Was enjoyable to watch you process that issue and find the cause!

Nice job troubleshooting! The tough ones are the fun ones.
That was a puzzle, but you handled it!

I have a little 2032r and it's really cool to see how the big tractors work.

500k is a drop in the bucket
Nice job on that one. The owner needs to check his oil more often. Hate to see a neglected piece of machinery.
Fantastic job using all your skills Zeth thanks for sharing 🦘

This is a great video! Nice job explaining and showing us how it's done. Thank you
Nice one zeth always something new to learn 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Some faults need a bit more thinking time 👍👍👍
Great video. A learning experience for all. As you said , that valve looked fine, but visual inspection does NOT mean much.
Don’t have to worry about codes on that 30 series next to it!
Wow good fix Zeth! It’s amazing what what we all come across!
Not a tech, but I am in ag, My first thought was a bad sensor or electronic problem. These new tractors and trucks are nothing but a pain in the ass.
Thanks for the videos.
By the way if it's not red leave it in the shed!😊
I did a 450 hour machine that the rivet that plugs the oil passage in the shaft came free
It was in the piston and creating millings that were getting stuck in clutch a solenoid
It was an awesome place to work lol
G'day Zeth. Another excellent video as usual. You're a gun! Keep them coming mate!!! Cheers from near Geelong, Victoria, Australia 🙂
Nice troubleshooting skills. I work in aviation and some our tech cant do thatkind of work. Kerp it up.
Glad you got it figured out. That is why they pay you the big bucks. Man I can't imagine a tractor that big coming to a dead stop...
WOW ! That was quite the experience. I can see why you are fastening the seatbelt in case you are ejected again. Okie-dokie. . . . "So who needed another drill bit on the assembly line?" Of course, we will never know. Keep up the fantastic work. 😊
Another great vid! Keep the deere's running
Well done on identifying transmission issue! I have enjoyed your videos thanks for these great posts!
What a fun video to watch. Has to be be pretty rewarding at the end of the day figuring something out like this. Kind of the same for me with computers. You have this...this... and this.... that could be the problem but then you get THAT random thing that totally catches you for a loop. Great job man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey nice video, this is the kind of content I really like tractor serves calls.
Valves always open and close as you shift gears if you have a sticky one it might not do the job at least you were fortunate enough to figure it out
Loved this one Zeth, thank you. I was thinking what could have happened while this tractor was in this shed. Everything was covering dust so it had been there a while and it drove in ok. So something happened while is was stood, otherwise you would have got the call earlier. 👍
You are awesome buds. Hats off, hats off.
When you asked the question at the beginning I thought maybe a clutch but had no clue about the solenoid :)
I'm still wondering where all the hydraulic oil went though!
You and me both!
You need a macnaught transfer pump for 5gal pails. Milwaukee is good for some
Stuff but the macnaught rocks for filling plus they have a meter all cordless
Great job Zeth!
Zeth i had my fingers..arm's..and leg's crossed for you before the test!! CK UK
Your very good at your job 👍👍
Wow what a story about that stuck drill bit! That could have ended in a nasty lawsuit!
Deere uses similar valves to that on their combines hydrolic block. I had a flake of steel get stuck in one on mine when a hydro pump went out. Those things are EXPENSIVE!!!
Question, why does it throw a code for 'clutch circuit' even when the coil is fine, but the valve was the issue?
Everything worked out for you, replacing the valve and calibrating the box.
I do wonder why everything needs such a level of technology.
How is he so knowledgeable? Boy is he good.
29:20 "why you need to calibrate the transmission after a i.e. oil change": You know, after all these years of pondering about that, it actually does make sense. Perfect sense.
Hi. New subscriber. I have watched
Some of your videos in the past and
Have totally enjoyed them. I don't
Know if you have heard but Colorado has passed right to repair bill including tractors and combines.
Thank you for sharing
Good job, did the Farmer have any clue to the disapearing Trans Oil ?
Hydraulic...
Leaky couplers, hoses, cylinders add up over time.
When this thing goes to the scrap yard, the old 806 will still be running!
I often feel that electrical troubleshooting is like chasing smoke. Intermittent problems particularly.
Hey body your are a enciclopedia book open very knowledgeable 👍👍👍👍
Good one👍 Wish you had more videos like daily 😊
Hi zk mastertech I've been watching you videos for a while love what your doing. I'm an apprentice for farm machinery ive just started my apprenticeship its hard to buy tools you need. Can you please do a video of what tools apprentices should buy
Already did
Ohh ok sorry didn't have a look 😂😂

Very well done!👏☘️👍
In discovering the " LETTER " C " and " R " mixing you up , and there being Letters C & R on the side PORT location , would you be sending a note to John Deer engineer department to address to location or even the font size as this could mess with local repair folks.
Couldn't help but notice the copious amount of cab air fresheners in the air vents LOL.
If you only had smellivision.
Glad you figured it out 😊 but why was the hydraulic fluid low, where did the fluid go?
Good question!
Where did all the oil go??? My guess is someone borrowed 15 or 30 gallons from the UNLOCKED reservoir and nobody noticed or reported the missing oil.
These scattered brained jobs keeps the mind sharp! 12th gear anxiety also keeps you on your toes. 😁👍
hola, trabajo en una compañia y tengo un problema con un 9460R al salir la maquina no sale hay que acelerar a 1500 revoluciones para que salga la marcha me ayudarias con un manual de diagnostico
Hi Zeth, love your work. Was that a literary reference in there, 'Three clutches good, four clutches bad'?
Does JD offer a maintenance contract? Seems like it would be a good investment for JD as well as the farmer. When I was a technician I loved troubleshooting issues for customers with maint. contracts. That way I wasn't pressured to get the job done. I could do what was right and not what was fast.

Good, informative video.
One of are 9460r Engine randomly dies no codes any thoughts now i’ll thing about shift to 12 always learn something from videos thanks
My bet is bad ecu
Was told along time ago. If you ain’t testing your guessing.
11:28 is that a little vgg I hear?
great job !!!!
Could you not have checked pressure at C port to see what was taking place with C clutch? Just asking?
Would have been interesting to see but i was on a time crunch.
Muchas felicidades,gracias por el video
So the tractor broke sitting still in the shed?
Maybe I missed, did you figure out where the Oil went ??
Hey Zeth, this is off topic of this video but I was wondering if you know when the 18 liter engine that is in the JD 9600 forage harvester will be available in 4wheel drives and possibly combines?
As far as i know only the 13.6L will be used.
Challenge that's the one that I like🎉🎉🎉
