    This should make Dougo’s day. I’m just a little older.
    Had a JD shop Forman tell me I should have bought extended warranty on a tractor. I give him an understanding that if John Deere made quality equipment like they used to do they wouldn’t need extended warranty. They used to didn’t know what it even was.

    Dougo and Amy, heartfelt thanks for the absolutely super video on your medical procedure and the filming of the combine without an engine story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    First the combine: just beyond words. I have never seen anything like that before in my years with farming. Wow.
    Dougo you did a great job of filming the engine coming out of the combine and what it looked like once on the ground and we could see the engine parts and look into the block. Excellent filming of the engine assembly and all the associated parts and pieces and the many shields and brackets and everything!!!!!!!!’ That was most definitely interesting!!!!!!! Thanks for your filming and the narrative you did explaining all of the situation and all.
    Even more so, appreciated you talking about how you feel about the situation. It was great to hear your side of the story as the farmer without a combine. Excellent narrative Dougo!!!!!!!!’
    I do want to thank your main John Deere technician, Justin, for his great service work and dedication to getting this engine switched over. My compliments to Justin!!!!!
    Also thanks to your dealership, Kibble, for getting right on this project and making things happen. Thanks for helping the Larson family!!!!!!!!!!! Wow.
    Once again, thanks for showing all of this situation to us through the filming. Has been fantastic. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
    Second; our amazing lady Amy!!!!!!! Thanks ever so much for telling us about your medical procedure that you have had this past week and more to come. I thought you did an excellent job of explaining your procedure and the outcome and the thoughts behind it and the good results you are getting. Nice narrative Amy!!!!!!!!!’😊
    I can imagine it was not a pleasant experience but knowing you, you worked your way through it and working towards good results!!!!!!!!
    That is the way Amy!!!!!!!!!
    I like the fact you didn’t have surgery and were able to improve you pain situation through this non invasive procedure. Looking forward to your updates on your recovery ❤️‍🩹.
    My compliments to you doctor for his fine professionalism and helping you lessen the pain discomfort. It is wonderful you found this doctor that does this procedure and not have surgery.
    You take care of yourself Amy, and heartfelt Prayers to you for an extremely good Recovery ❤️‍🩹.
    Thanks to both of you for this amazing video with such interesting stories.
    Sending my blessings to you both and may God watch over you both!!!!!
    The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
    😊👍💕💕🙏🙏🇺🇸

      Beautifully said Steve. I live in UK, and for several years, I was an Ag Engineer. OK it was 40 yrs ago, but have seen this scenario several times, having worked for a few different dealers and differing manufacturers around the country. The fact that the engine blew isn't that strange, it does happen. But with all the recent changes, the story goes on. Quality of manufacture is a result of JIT (just in time) spares holding. No one wants to have more than enough inventory than they need so just order enough for what they plan to build. That goes all the way down the line, and most only store what they need. That is why there are back orders everywhere, nobody has more than they need now! If the economy were different, everyone would be able to get what they want, when they want it. Not with things the way they are, big changes need to happen, but that is a different story...
      Thanks for you input ity gives those who don't understand why/how thing work, your a pleasure to read , keep up the good work. Oh and I agree with your comments re: Amy. She is a treasure. And imagine life without Dougo - Not conceivable, he is the power behind Larson Farms. Love the man!

      I have long time friends in the UK. After farming I was in the Air Force and became friends with a RAF Air Force couple. We have continued our friendship through the years. Both of us retired now.
      Again, thank you for your note. Steve.

    • @phonsely

      its all down to chance, they got very unlucky.. combines are definately more prone to breakdown these days but thats because they are much more complicated expecially with the electronics. that complexity is there for a reason though and i think we would see ppl still combining with those 70s models if they really were better

    As a farmer Doug, you know that things break no matter the color. My dad was a John Deere mechanic from the early 60s into the 1990s. Rods going through the blocks due to bearing failures were not unknown with all makes. I can remember many a block was taken to our local machine shop where the hole was patched then returnec to the dealership, new parts installed, and the combine quickly returned to service. Dad worked on all brands. It was a different time.

  • @kentlynch7726
    @kentlynch7726 13 часов назад +4

    I don't know what Deere uses for sure, but they may be using powdered metal connecting rods. That is a process used that reduces cost of manufacturing over forging or casting rods. Rather than casting a rod using "liquid" metal or forging a billet, you use a metal powder under pressure to make the rod. The crank and pin bores are machined then the rod cap is "removed" by cracking the end of the rod off. Makes a unique rod cap that doesn't require further machining. It can work fine as long as it's done right. They might have had some Q.C. issues along the way.

    Doug you are a natural with the camera. I would be very frustrated too considering the amount of investment you have in that like new combine. I'm also with you on the lack of quality today. I believe a good part of it is the emissions guide lines the manufactures have to follow has greatly shortened the life of modern engines. EPA has way to much power over us in my opinion. Mabe you should of considered keeping the 9750 as a back up after the steering column was repaired of course. Wishing well with your treatments Amy.

    Hi Amy, I had Spinal Stenosis (which I didn't know about) and had a car accident which broke my neck. Because of the Stenosis it damaged my Spinal Cord and I ended up a Quadriplegic. Thankfully over the course of two years of Physical and Occupational therapy I can now walk and use both arms although with difficulty.
    My take on the whole process is always to try the non-surgical methods first. my accident was almost 20 years ago and I still have to do Physical therapy quite often but it is worth it. I live a very rewarding life, thanks to the support and love from my family and my Physical therapist at the Minneapolis VA Spinal Cord Injury center. The other thing I have determined is if you keep a positive attitude it helps the healing process.
