- A while back I had AC problems with my John Deere 4066R, so I decided to remove the roof and inspect for a repair. These steps should work on a John Deere 4044, 4052, 4066 and any 3 series cab tractors. If you need the blower motor in this video, it's in the amazon link below.

It's guys like you that make me really appreciate what youtube has to offer. I've gotta 4720 that quit blowing cold but have been dreading taking the cab top off to clean it but you made it look completely doable and you are probably right on deep cleaning yearly because i have to blowout the condenser coils on the back at least once per hour while im brushhogging
Glad you enjoyed the content
Thank you so much for this video! have a 3320 and blower problems. Now I can dig into it.
Your welcome
Got here looking for the AC pressure switch location for my 3520, and now I know the roof comes off. Learn something every day!
Thanks, was able to dig into my John Deere 4520 a/c with confidence after watching your video.
Glad it helped
Drew really can do anything!!! Love watching your channel.
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Just removed the roof on 2006 model 4320 with tips from your video. The gasket was stuck big time! Many thanks for step by step instructions!!
Glad it helped!
thank you sooooo so much i dont know how solve my ac now we can solve this problem
Glad you enjoyed it
This guy deserves more viewers. Looks like Deere has a simple panel to cut out to add a sun/forward visibility roof when they feel like it.
Thank you! Working hard to get those viewers.
Great video! Can't wait to see you change the speakers and radio!! I have a 4052R and want to do the same thing.
Awesome, thanks for watching! I'll purchase the radio soon, a lot of other projects to finish first.
Nice when a plan comes together.
Glad to see the tractor has been very reliable.
I'm happy it wasn't a major component to make me question the tractor. Hope that's my last repair for a long time.
@@TKCL I hope when I hit the 400hrs on my Kubota that I will be able to say the same thing. Turned 200hrs last week and so far, the only issue was the first week of delivery, had a leaking hose fitting. Dealer came out and fixed it. So my first 200 has been uneventful and I hope I will be able to say the next 200 was also.
I hope your tractor is as reliable as my last, 13 years old and only went to the shop one time for a leaking wheel seal.
Great educational video.
Nice job Andrew very informative.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, I have a 4052R and have been looking for a channel like yours for a while now.
Welcome aboard!
Sorry you had the issue but Glad to see the inside of the roof. Might buy a blower motor to have in stock while I can. Good job and thanks for videoing the fix.
Thanks! The good news is there is two blowers, so if one goes out you still get some heat/AC. SPAL makes good products, so I'm shocked it broke. Hopefully this was a one time problem.
Another great video , thanks for sharing, looking forward to more , keep em coming
Thanks for the support!
You have no idea how helpful this is watching from Barbados i cud not find those blowers thanks so much
Glad it was helpful
@@TKCL thanks again man
great video i have a landini with same issues , going to try what you did Thxs
Extremely helpful thank you for posting 🙂
Glad it's of help!
Good day- What an informative video! I have a machine with that very same problem and now will tackle it. I too, will swap the radio and speakers. THANK YOU for sharing! I subscribed!
Thank you for watching
Thanks
Great video....thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
As a general rule, if the blower motor works on any speed, especially full speed, the motor is fine. If it doesn’t work on some settings then the resistor is bad. Resistor drops power to the motor for lower speed settings. Same basic issue in auto systems. If they sold the resistor/transistor separately then that could have saved you even more money. Glad it’s fixed!
I slowly figured that out and tried to locate a resistor. Found one, again overseas and wasn't sure if I could get it over to me. Thanks
I even tried to repair and find a new resistor to save money. Could only find it in one place overseas. No damage could be identified on the resistor either, very simple design, I was expecting to find a broken or burnt coil.
@@TKCL ....did you check “Green Tractor Parts.com”? Hang onto that blower unit as it’s probably a good backup if you locate that resistor.
I'm familiar with that website, but can't remember if I went to it. I checked a lot of places and was not successful. I did save the old blower just in case.
So while you have the roof off next time. You know what dyna mat is. Put it on bottom of roof. Reflect that heat back out and those hot water lines running thru the air plenums. Get some shut off valves and install at engine block to cut off that hot water. You be surprised how much better the ac will work. I am in Texas and all the above helped a lot. And your right. Factory radio and speakers suck. Happy with my upgrades.
Definitely know what dyna mat is, it does get soft when hot though. I would wonder if it would peal away or droop. Thanks for the tip about the hot water lines, need to check that out.
Cool video! Started watching on ice maker
Thank you for watching
That was informative for sure, Too bad your blower motor had to fail, but at least now you know how everything up there works. Hopefully you never have to make that repair again. Thanks for the video.
It's one of those things, it may never fail again. I'm kind of glad I got to look around underneath the roof, always been curious about it.
OMG... THAT LOOKS LIKE A JOB.
Naaa I didn't find it all that difficult
I have some videos on my speaker/stereo upgrades. Great video on if the blower fails, thank you
I'll check the videos out, thanks!
I just realized I never uploaded my new stereo vid. I do have a new Kenwood radio with Bluetooth to go with my Kenwood speakers. It's a fantastic setup and I may add two more speakers this winter. The wiring is all there and ready to go. Make sure you watch my latest liner video on the plastic liner tabs so you don't break those off. Very important
Appreciate it, I'll refer to your video before I start the job.
just had some mice get up into the blowers on my 4052R. Looks like I'm popping the top lol. Raining Acorns when on high 😞
Lol wow!
man that was cool seeing the top of the tractor. I'm glad that it was just a blown motor problem. It was cool seeing the inside of the tractor too. I can't wait to see you change to speakers and the radio out in the tractor. I would like to add some more speakers in my truck on the driver and passenger side by the up bye the head. Like you said Factory speakers suck which I still have in the truck and with the truck being loud inside the cab you have to turn the music up. Looking forward to your live stream.
What kind of big rig do you drive? Be sweet if it was a MACK! LOL But I don't think they make long travel rigs??
@@TKCL I used to drive a Mack truck before my job got rid of it. Yes they do still make Mack Trucks for long-distance traveling. I drive a 2005 Freightliner Classic extra large XLT with a 650 horsepower Detroit 13 speed with dual exhaust and 2 150 gallon fuel tank. Love by Tank. I can drive 1100 miles average speed of 75 and only use a 1/2 tank of fuel. This is long as I'm not running up and down mountains. They said it was a 550 Detroit but found out it's a 650 Detroit when I had the motor tested out. It's been a good running trucks since I got it just small minor problem nothing major like the motor , trans , or the rear end. My brother-in-law and his best friends are diesel mechanics so they are my mechanics to help me keep the truck in good shape.
Awesome!
@@TKCLHello man how you doing today. I just want to say thank you for your live stream yesterday I really enjoy that. Even though I was Trucking to New Orleans it was good listening to you. I love watching your videos and talking to you. I knew about your other channel but I didn't know about this one and I love both of them. I'm trying to do some catch up on the other videos in the past. It was awesome seeing and talking to you and your wife. You take it easy man.
Appreciate you watching Mack, thanks so much for the support. We are going to try again this Sunday at 5.
Half electrician half lumberjack 👍🇺🇸
Lol, I try!
There’s satisfaction in making a repair yourself, and saves a ton of money! I don’t know how I ever got along without my swivel socket adapters.. probably by a lot of grunting and aggravation lol
Believe it or not I didn't buy my first knuckles until a few years ago, I too wonder how I got along without them.
Stihl and John Deere is just another way country boy can survive
Got that right, both have treated me well for years!
One thing I had planned for when I get my 4 series is see if there’s room for a double din, and use the back up camera on the front as a loader cam for forks.
There isn't but you could rather easily mount a backup camera screen where the visor is or the flat spot on top of the dash. They make wireless cameras nowadays too. I've thought about something like that.
@@TKCL I've put one on mine. Camera in the front and back. Wish I would have gotten a little better system. I went with 9" screen and 4 cameras, only using 2 at this time.
Can you actually see the fork tips on the front camera? These cameras have such wide eyes that I wonder if they would allow fine attention to detail like for tips. Where did you mount the front camera? I do a lot of brush work and would want to make sure it wouldn't get torn off. If I can find a zoomed camera lense, I could mount it up top just under my tractor roof for protection and easy wiring.
@@TKCL I put it on the brush guard, used a bar type mount I got off Amazon. Can't send a picture I guess
That's good enough info, I'll eyeball my front grill and check it out. Thanks
Good job on this vid. As always. The I that you couldn't figure out on the blower motor housing, maybe it was for insulated. Such as the Foam that wasn't on the new one. For condensation and such. If this gives you issues. Maybe add 3M single sided sticky tape or a foam insulation used for campers and toppers between the truck bed and the campers/ toppers. Good luck...
Also, i'm wanting to add a bluetooth radio in my 2007 GMC sierra 1500. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate the help. I need all i can get. It blew my mind trying to figure out all the options lol
Ive got a couple of ideas from in mind for the blower if needed. My biggest concern was if it rattled, I'm happy to report it doesn't. I don't have specific part numbers for radios, but I use to sell Kenwood, JVC and Pioneer. I highly recommend any of those brands. If you don't need a CD player, look up "media players" in those brands. That will be a full fiction radio/Bluetooth player, minus the size, weight and potential problems of a CD mechanism. There are a bunch of junk brands out there too, I'd stick with name brand.
@@TKCL Sounds great! Thanks for the advice!
If the blower motor works at all it's usually just the resistor that is bad. Might save you some money in the future.
I figured that out, tried and tried to find a resistor and couldn't. Well other than one overseas. I even tried to repair my current one, didn't see any damage to the coils.
Put some radiant barrier on bottom side of roof help keep air cool.
Thought about that also, thinking about how hot this Florida sun it. Good idea!
Thinking I need to do this- did you see a better result. That ac just can’t stay ahead when it’s really hot out
No difference other then getting full force air back. These tractors don't have full air recirculation and that's a huge downside. Blow your front radiator and your rear in the roof AC condenser out. That's usually where lack of cooling is coming from
Don't forget to vac the filter around the back of the cab, inside.
Yep, the little foam filter? It comes out with the removal of two screws. I often forget about it until I look up and see dust.
Please post the blower motor part number again, thank you!
Link is in the video description Blower link: amzn.to/3ERHrsL
I can’t believe they don’t have a condenser filter. Or old ford 8630 even had one
Front or rear? The rear does have a filter.
The blower motor was not the problem. Just needed to replace the resistors, if they are available. It's a common fault.
I tried to find them, only place I seen them was over seas with outrageous shipping charges and time.
John Deere sneaking screws under the lights. If it wouldn’t mess with any gaskets i wouldn’t put them back in for easier maintenance in the future.
Luckily now that I know they are there it's easy to remove them. I want to keep them in to pull down a tight seal against the gasket material.
Amazon link is busted. got another? My 4520 has the same issue on the right side.
Here you go amzn.to/3ERHrsL
@@TKCL Wow that was fast. Thanks!
If you're interested in fender extensions, I don't have too many hours on mine. They're in excellent condition. I'm going with the wider ones that wrap around the back since I installed 3" wheel spacers for row crops. Shoot me your email if interested
Appreciate it, but not looking for any. I don't find the tractor to throw a lot of mud on equipment, I usually stay off the fields when it's wet.
We should hook up. I have a 3046R head liner and roof is off of mine right now. Installing a system as well. So if you want to know the fast way to get the head liner out let me know.
Thank you, I think I figured it out after doing a little bit of looking around. Looks like there's a few strategic screws holding it in
4 in the back 3 in the visor 2 torque screws on the radio 2 in the dome light and the 2 on the ac panel. I took mine out the door visor side first. Need to shift it around but comes right out.
On the dome light look carefully there is a cover. Screws are under the cover. Don’t break the light. My roof is off made unplugging the light easy. Might consider doing it as well just a heads up.
Mine is also getting GPS and auto steer next week.
Thank you
