I'm amazed at your memory of all the spacers and shims getting back in there...sure as hell I'd mess one up and wonder why it leaks. Great job and video! Jim.
My thoughts exactly! You have to know what the heck you are doing or it will be a complete mess. Andy is fearless and knowledgeable when it comes to fixing!
For those guys getting to work with you on the multitude of projects that go thru your shop, is better than any advanced mechanics class they could take. Love you videos!
We rebuilt a engine last summer on our John Deere 710. All went good except when putting back together. It has a 2 stage clutch and lining up the shafts was a 2 day fun exercise had to stop try again stop lots. Good video you got her done. Thanks have a good day.
For awhile there, that reinstall of the pto gearbox looked like a “county Highway department job”. 5 guys standing around and 1 guy yelling at ‘em. You make a complex job seem simple.
Nicely Done Andy. Very similar to a repair Wes Pandy did on his 8120 a while back (or maybe his 4960 - can't recall). Looks like the rear cover on the 7710 is a bit different from the 8120 but the idea of the job is the same. Too bad the boyz over a John Deere didn't get the engineering right on that 540/1000 flip shaft deal. Nice to be able to quickly change PTO speeds when needed - but not cool to have to tear into the tractor to that level to replace what amounts to a maintenance part. Thanks again for the great videos.
I always apply a good amount of grease to the spines on the reversible shaft where it slides in the collar on the tractor. I don’t know if it really helps but it makes me feel as it does. I grease them ever time I flip them or ever 100 hours or so.
The shop videos are awesome. I like workin on shit all day then getting home and watching you work on stuff. Did those splines run off from the mixer wagon starting hard you think, or just wear and tear over time ?
Hey Andy there should be a plastic plug around or under top link that you can access that one shaft so you can pull it out before you pull housing and it makes it easier when putting back together. The shaft can go back in after housing is in place. Not telling how to fix things you know what your doing. Just a tip.
I have taken them apart it’s surprising how that little shaft does all that work We had to change the casting inside And there’s little pins that go bad to They are easy taking off putting on is another story
Fair play to ya Andy I’d have no bother taking it apart but I think when’s it time to rebuild it I’d walk away lol 😂 I’m surprised caz hasn’t offered u a job yet u could moonlight lol 😂
Why the hoses on the side? Joystick for loader? Very good series of jd we have a 7510 powerquad.I appreciate this kind of video in case that one day we will have the same issues
The 7810 looks like it is set out to cultivate tobacco. We set cultivating tractors out to 96”, you guys are to far north for that. Is there a reason you run your feeding tractor that wide?
@@edniemyjski3303 I never knew tobacco was raised up there. Our commie government destroyed tobacco and basically killed Winston-Salem NC, and thousands of small farms here also.
@@FarmingFixingFabricating I’ve seen the 540 splines twisted half the width of the splines. I believe while mowing the operator hit a rock or tree stump. That twisted shaft almost made the dyno bounce off the ground while diagnosing.
Where did you get that bearing heater? We use an old deep fryer with hydraulic oil in it. I like that heater you have. I’ve usually slid a pipe over the stub shaft when reinstalling pto units for balancing them. Great video! Now I know what to expect with our 7800!
Hi Andy. Lot's of winter work. Liked. Seems I am unwelcome on Social media these days. Have been finding other sources, to share your videos on. God Bless and all my very best. Trump Won !
I promise it will really piss a guy off to flip that shaft over to quick before it cools enough and the bearing falls off. But I’ve just heard that. Wouldn’t have done something like that myself. Uhh yeah that’s it.
Wow. That's like the inside of a watch! I had no idea how complex the internals of the PTO assembly were so complex. This is why I like your channel. Thank you for the look Andy!
I understand the necessity of doing the work yourself with so much equipment. Still it's absolutely amazing how well you can fix then switch to another task so much. I hope some of your boys and crew are watching and helping with the intention of someday doing it themselves. Your one hell of a teacher, you need internships to come in and learn. Great jod Andy, your a class act in the farm community.
@@benfairhall5331 They have a 540 shaft above the draw bar and a 1000 shaft above that. Google International 1066 or 806 pto image and you should be able to see it.
When we split tractors to do clutches or t/A's we would use long lengths of threaded rod installed in in some bolt holes to act as guides. Seems like that would work for that rear section as well. It works pretty slick
Excellent video keep up the great videos 👍👍👍👍when I work on the pto clutch unit like that I slide a pipe over the pto out put shaft to wiggle it around some
Andy, I can't believe all the mechanical work you do on the farm. It would seem like you need a real full time mechanic there which would allow you do the other things that are important to you... unless you actually enjoy that work, I donno? I noticed when you were pulling the seals and bearing off the shaft, you should have a fat old bolt welded to a base plate so you can stack them in order that came off. I've always been concerned that I wouldn't remember the correct order to reinstall them.
Just a friendly suggestion, before removing the last two bolts, install a couple of same thread studs to provide support of heavy housing, then remove last two bolts. Studs will also aid in installing said housing
Those 7010 series are great units, I got to run a 7710 2wd powershift on a 15ft bush hog chopping stalks and that was probably my most favorite job of this year, just going along a 7mph.
Again another job done ,with the Boss man getting in there and getting it done .Because I enjoy watching you doing a lot of the work yourself and the $`s saved by doing it in house ! And just keep on Hammering on it !
Those US General tool chests are a good deal for the money. I bought one a couple years ago from HF and have had good luck with it. saves a lot of steps back and forth to the tool bench. Keep the awesome videos coming!
Good stuff Andy. That mechanism looked pretty complicated!! I kept thinking "How is he going to get that back together"--and there it is--back together1
