While it's great to have the next generation of mechanics working with you it must be great to have a more mature person like Josh working with you. Great videos Zeth, love watching from 🇮🇪
Thanks for another great video ZK and Josh. Most interesting video. Big time repair work here. Wow. My compliments to both of you for completing this job. Never saw that much of the guts removed. When those bolts busted it caused big time damage and sure tore things up. Once again I am amazed at your knowledge and skills ZK at repairing this machine and returning it to the field. I personally thank you for imparting your knowledge onto Josh as he becomes a skilled technician also. You are a good teacher. Lots to repair and new parts to add and put it all back together. I learned a lot on this one. You pick things up just by seeing it done. Thanks to both of you for putting this combine back in the field working. Thanks for everything. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Thanks Zeth, appreciate all the detailed info on the workings of the sifter . Good visual of the arms rocking back and forth, sounded good and smooth. You and Josh work well together. Thanks to Sloan Implement for allowing you to video these repairs.
With the wire join, slide it on one end first twist your wires together then slide the connector over it. Will get a cleaner connection. Thanks for all your awesome content
Zeth, watching you and Josh work is technical harmony. If you ever get a chance to tour the plant that presses that sheet metal for those big machines see if you can take a video of the big shears and breaks they have. I bet they are all CNC precision tools. That would be cool.
So much going on in those things!! I gotta say, coming from Cat heavy equipment, it seems like the sheet metal looks so thin for how much abuse it takes. You’re a better man than me for dealing with combines during harvest!
Seems like JD and New Holland are the same with the flimsy sheet metal. I know they try to reduce weight on the sieve cleaning area , but all the back and forth everything goes back there that sheet metal is the first to show problems with fatigue and cracking and things get rubbed.
The solder connectors work great. Just make sure the solder does turn shiny. Otherwise the connection could fail due to poor penetration of the solder.
My 4320 was sold new at the Assumption location back in 1970. At that time the dealer was called Shilling and Sloan. Not sure what location you guys are at but I suspect that there's a chance "Wardo" was around when that was pre delivered. I used to be a Deere mechanic here in MD...now I just farm with mostly Deere equipment. Nice video by the way...always quality content!
I think those connectors are great thing also I usually like to use the heat shrink crimps I guess you're going to have to get myself a box of these new and improved ones
Thanks ZK MasterTeech Sir! Fore us use to heavy machines but not this typ, your RUclips channel videos are World Class! So many thanks from CEO Peter Eriksson, Falun Maskin Service, Dalarna, Sweden, Europe 😅😮😊! You Sir have a very good way to explain, everything, why & howe you do it! Grearfule you take the time to make your RUclips channel Sir! Your's RUclips channel is a ☆☆☆☆☆+ all day long! Good explanation of the swing arms (excuse my English!)
I had the same thing happen in my 9770. Back bolt broke caucused the front bolt to pull thru the sieve frame. Yea 7k later …. What I have come to determine is the back bolt broke and overloaded the front. The sieve dropped down and hit the clean grain augers. We replaced ally the swing arm bolts and torqued them. I think it’s around 300ftlbs. Deere tech looked it up. Now I torque those bolts every year.
When I got my milwaukee hot air gun It came with a thin nozzle attachment and a curved piece that makes heating those solder joints way faster because the heat is concentrated. I've been using both for years. I'd say the heat gun is nowhere near as effective as a plug in one. But it's useful to be able to heat shrink where needed with out flame/gas soldering iron fire risk and no cable extension lead. I also got the same m12 rivet gun and that really is fantastic. It will do fairly hefty rivets too. And way smaller than the m18 version. Fits in all the small places I need it to.
Και εγώ που νόμιζα ότι μόνο στην Ελλάδα χαλάνε 😂οι john deere και λέω στο αφεντικό μου ότι δεν φταίει η μηχανή αλλά ο χειριστής και ο τρόπος που την δουλεύει.οπως και να έχει είσαι καταπληκτικός με αυτό που κάνεις.και μάλιστα με πολύ ωραία ποιότητα δουλειάς
For holding wire, I have seen a couple of youtube channels where alligator clips were attached to a piece of heavy gauge copper wire to use as a wire holder.
Those Taiwanese die cast machine part, look if there is a casting marking that has CP graphic. They were starting to supply Deere when I was there in 2005. Fabulous supplier
You should verify those connector splices can handle the full current at 150 deg f before recommending them. I've seen a post showing insufficient solder and flux to fully wet the wires!
It's a great video, as usual. Have you tried using black electrical tape to hold wires to the connector? Leave a 1-2 inch tail on the tape to pull off once the connector grips.
our Subaru hasa problem, the wire coatings and shielding are no longer oil base products, now bio products which mice like the taste of, did John Deere go to the bio shielding and insulations on the electric stuff? If so, you are gonna be hating the hungry mice eating the wiring on all the green stuff.
Hi Zeth, I have a JD S770 that is showing light scuffing on the right rear lower sieve swingarm. Combine feels smooth while running and doesn't create any unusual vibration. I also have checked the bolts for tightness and swingarms for play and everything feels fine. When we installed them after last years inspection, we did position the sieve and chaffer in time. I have about 300-350 acres left of high moisture corn starting Tuesday and hoping it will make it to the end. Any thoughts? Thanks for the videos, I've been able to keep more of our green (and other colors) iron moving with more confidence.
Its where the sieve on the right rear lower side bolts to the lower part of the rear arm. The round black gasket doesn't look damaged but the heads of the two rivets have some wear as well as right below the arm on the sieve frame.@@ZKMasterTech
@devomx3027 I have seen crop material get behind the sieve frame seal on the RH side and push it towards the side sheet making it rub. Only way to tell or fix it is to pull the sieve frame.
I watched enough of his videos to figure out he should own stock in nuts and bolts. Or have his own business selling fasteners lol. Love the video’s though.
@@ZKMasterTech LoL. I understand. FYI, I just went Green. Bought a 2025r. 2021 with 11 hours on it. Loader, Back hoe and 60" mower deck. Bought some property where it should come in handy...
Zeth Man I Love your videos! Keep the Great work with a most open respect .👍 Sorry I have to message you through RUclips. I want to start my RUclips channel On the west coast I would really like to talk to you. Hello From Thomason Tractor Firebaugh California

That Milwaukee heat gun will heat your sandwich up very nicely. Made a grilled cheese a while back on a roof.

Another great vid! I never saw the guts of a combine before in such detail!! Keep the deere's running! Stay safe
As always, your expertise is obvious. You have to know what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

Great video. Always enjoy it when you and Josh work together. Look forward to the next one.
Our shop bought the M18 rivet gun after the M12 was such a success. The M18 makes the X9 side sheet pips a breeze that’s for sure!!! Awesome tools!!
Great video. You all lucked out finding Josh. You two make a great team.
The solder connectors work great. Just make sure the solder does turn shiny. Otherwise the connection could fail due to poor penetration of the solder.
Freue mich jedesmal auf das neue Video, merci 🇨🇭😇

lot better when you have the correct tools
I used those for the lights on my truck, they are fucking awesome, perfect for upfitting vehicles, still put tape around the connections still
Great video Zeth! You and Josh really know your stuff!
Thanks!
That is a complicated piece of expensive kit, you sure don't want to get it all out of time ! Nice job men. Have a good week end.
Another great video with you and Josh thanks

Keep the good work love watching you on RUclips god bless
Why does this happen and what is the fix to prevent it from happening again?
Solder Stick a new Product?
I use it since more than 20 years
For holding wire, I have seen a couple of youtube channels where alligator clips were attached to a piece of heavy gauge copper wire to use as a wire holder.
If there is any slack in the cable, I stagger the splices so you don't have to deal with a big gob in one area.
Those Taiwanese die cast machine part, look if there is a casting marking that has CP graphic. They were starting to supply Deere when I was there in 2005. Fabulous supplier
I got one of the solderstick kits and I really like it.
You should verify those connector splices can handle the full current at 150 deg f before recommending them. I've seen a post showing insufficient solder and flux to fully wet the wires!
It's a great video, as usual. Have you tried using black electrical tape to hold wires to the connector? Leave a 1-2 inch tail on the tape to pull off once the connector grips.
you will have a bigger bunch together, but if you can stagger them up and down the wire you can actually keep the harness nearly the same size
Zeth,you an josh work like a well oiled machine, alsome job,be safe take care hope 4 another video soon.
Thanks 👍
@@ZKMasterTech iam hopes to get out there to meet you men an see if you men could work on my stuff
I hope for 4 videos per week 😂
Nothing is easy ,but experience sure helps.
Awesome video
Great program 👍 😊
I am a Nissan Master Technician. Nissan wants us to use those connectors. I enjoy them.
Does John Deere approve those solder and seal connectors for repair?
Is this common on newer machines? I thought they made the shoe lighter so this sort of thing wasn't supposed to happen anymore.
Those S600 series combines and S700 series combines are bad for that
Thank You
Keep that green iron running!!!!!
How long does a job like that take?
very practical cable splices
Great jog guys thanks for sharing 🦘
Nice Vid!

I need more info on the light scuffing on the swing arm. Where is the scuffing exactly?
Its where the sieve on the right rear lower side bolts to the lower part of the rear arm. The round black gasket doesn't look damaged but the heads of the two rivets have some wear as well as right below the arm on the sieve frame.@@ZKMasterTech
There is also more of a gap between the frame and side of combine on the left than the right which is the side that it is rubbing on
@devomx3027 I have seen crop material get behind the sieve frame seal on the RH side and push it towards the side sheet making it rub. Only way to tell or fix it is to pull the sieve frame.
That is definitely possible. I think it will be ok and find out when we take stuff out for inspection. Thanks @@ZKMasterTech
I watched enough of his videos to figure out he should own stock in nuts and bolts. Or have his own business selling fasteners lol. Love the video’s though.
Is a combine the most complex piece of equipment you work on?
Yes
Do you ever stagger your splices, so they are not all in the same area?
Yes
zk what's up my friend I know yall been busy at Sloan equipment we are busy here at united Ag&turf Inc
Yeah I'm swamped right now.
Share with us an estimated cost for your repairs.
👍👍👍
You state "I'm" going to get in there and vac....... That did NOT look like you on the end of the Vac Hose... LoL
Josh beat me to it lol.

You have today around 70 000 wies on this video, but it's deserv at least 500 000? /Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe 😅😮😊😊!
Did you notice the old guy with 50 years of experience wasn’t crawling around inside the machine?
Crimp every time for me.
I tested those too. The solder melted so late that the plastic was already damaged. my opinion, rubbish.
You skipped over all the cussing parts ;)
