John Deere S-Series: Dual speed chopper drive rebuild 

Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. Also the details you give as well as the tips and tricks with dissasembly/assembly. You help me keep the green iron on our farm moving! Watching from central WA State.

Zeth, I like the fact that "no job" seems to make you want to throw up your hands no matter how hard it may be! You are an inspiration to others doing any kind of mechanical work. Thanks for the easy going and calm approach you give to everything.

Say what Zak - when a guy your size has a struggle compressing his snap ring pliers - what hope is there for us ordinary mortals! Good methodical build up and praise be to that press!

Another great and educational video as well as entertaining. It’s always good to hear Josh’s laugh. It’s contagious. Look forward to seeing you and him work together on a repair job. Love the channel.

Работаю в дилерском центре John Deere. Собрал такой же редуктор по вашей видео инструкции, всё расписано в мельчайших подробностях.На много удобнее и понятнее чем в Service Advisor. Огромное спасибо!😊

Your instruction videos are #1, excellent to see . Keep up the great content.

Thank you for the videos. They have increased my knowledge in repairing equipment.

I really enjoy watching your videos going thru all the necessary steps I work in heavy truck shop always like learning different things

"I got shorter real fast." 😂🤣 Josh is hilarious

I’m not a farmer I’m actually a carpenter I like watching the videos I like how you describe everything show everything it’s not that hard. It just takes a little bit of time and effort and knowledge mostly knowledge.

You keep that green iron moving using the green lube. . . . I enjoyed seeing that you even used green grease on a John Deere part when you did the assembly. 😊 as always, you used great techniques in showing how things came apart and how you put it back together.

Lovely job Zeth. Watching you really helps me to de stress. Take care all the best Julian U.K

Still cracks me up that as I am a School Bus Mobile Technician for Thomas Built Buses that I enjoy other diesel related content but secondly is that majority of the modules on our School buses are made by John Deere Electronics. Go figure. Love the content Zeth even after the few years or so of watching your channel and a lot of the farming channels on RU-vid. Enjoy seeing the different sides of farming.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge in the videos. It is much appreciated.

Thanks Zeth.

Zeth, du bist der Beste, merci 🇨🇭😇

Hell yeah. Just before bedtime 🌙 .

Great video as usual Zeth!

Great video Zeth! I really like the way you discribe everything your doing! Been wrenching or in the Service Office all my working years just not on green iron so it’s real nice seeing how the green iron is built and how you repair it! I look forward to every video and I have watched every video You have uploaded. Keep up the good work Seth!! 👍👍

You have your usual repair items then it is all different what fails next that’s what keeps it interesting

Fantastic job Zeth. Keep up good work. 😀👍

For those large/heavy snap rings, check out the Lang #87 snap ring pliers. They use a forcing screw to expand/contract so you don't have to rely on hand strength. Plus the tips are indexable to get the best angle. I rarely use the hand-powered type unless they're small and easy.

Love this channel.

I work with fibre optic networks every day. Sure enjoy these videos. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland.

Soi Do Brasil I always watch your videos here working at Caterpillar but you show in practice something that many don't Show congratulations ZK success there 👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Awesome, I’ve got one that’s leaking the front side, just got the seals yesterday. The video will help me take it apart, thanks!

Good job big guy

Love the videos Zeth, keep em coming!

Another awesome vid! Very informative and interesting! Keep the deere's running

Nice job

Zeth thanks so much for the tip couple years ago about using an air hammer to loosen stuff. Came in real handy yesterday.

reay like when you show the work

Awesome job z love your work. And josh,s commentary from the bleachers🤣

Knipex Retaining ring pliers are really great! Take a look at them.

Great job there on reconditioning that duel drive

my first thought when he said "Corn head grease" was how do they harvest the grease out of the heads of corn, then transfer it into the drive mechanism?... I know this is not really what he's saying, for some odd reason it was what went through my head. (no, I'm not that stupid, just probably tired right now)

That press I swear was issued or bought by every deere dealer, my local dealer used one just like this to press brgs off amc javelin axle for me. Cool it wrks

Zeth much love from Wayne County Ohio!

AWESOME!

Nice Vid!

Thanks for the tutorial. Got to do my s670 drive. Replaced detent and spring and added shims but still will jump out of low range sometimes. Thanks.

Serious question: Are those specially designed bearings that you can press in from the inner race? I've always known your supposed to press in bearings from the outer race only so they don't get destroyed. Thanks Zack, love the vids!

Get you the super heavy duty blue point large snap ring pliers they are ratcheting and work a treat on those large snap rings like that.. believe they sell in set with internal and external and give you all the different types of tips

Great job thanks for sharing

Good job 👏 👍 👌 Lots of cool stuff, Enjoy the Holidays 😂😂

Great awesome video you should make another video with calab inspecting or working on a planter

Hey, Zeth. Happy New Year!

Great walk through. Continues to make me curious on the power flow of such a combine to drive the chopper like you did in your video of how the grain flows. Cant wait to watch that video when it comes out! Keep up the great videos and happy new year!

Always good videos

Good work well explained

Awesome dude.

That’s cool

My son's buddy graduated Wyotech and is learning Deere in grt state of Washington

I wish Deere stayed with the STS drive. So much more simple

enjoyable videos 👕

I was wondering where you was at I miss your video

The guy that invented snap rings, wherever he is spending eternity, I hope his days are filled taking those things out and putting them back in……

Love the videos! I was taught to never press on the bearing race that is not contacting anything. It may be that the tolorance you are dealing with are not as tight to do damage to the bearing balls/rollers and race on which the touch. School me please?

Observation............snap rings are mfg via a stamping operation resulting with a finished product having a 'rounded edge" and a "square edge'. I always install snap rings with the square side in the direction where the forces applied to the retained item will help lock the ring in place. I have experienced cases when reversed the ring subjected to come out of the groove. Example when rebuilding a transmission and or other areas where snap rings are used. The exception would be when a snap ring is '"machined on both sides " then are non directional. I was taught snap rings were "directional" and always followed how I installed them no matter their location or use, What are your thoughts.

What brand is that puller? Looks like it's pretty handy

! Если использовать данный привод на нейтрали при низких температурах при уборки кукурузы. То происходит сухое трение вилки переключения об сепаратор. Первым симптомом будет не до включение и выбивание передачи. Так что не использовать измельчитель нужно без ремня. ;)

Now then fella. Am a very loyal follower of your channel and its awsome . However, without prejudice,am getting the belief that most of your content is fixing contract hire machines and that they are not customer owned! The type of repair work you are undertaking is seriously expensive and down time of the machine and inevitable cost to farmers and associates.We did use JD but totally now Fendt due to JD lack of customer support with data software issues until recent court cases! Thankfully we continue to have a strong product and from another awsome brand, sadly not JD. Thanks for your time and effort in providing awesome videos 👍👍👍😀

When He says Lev'r does he mean lever?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Is them little Milwaukee impacts any good? They look pretty light

Hello. Good video as always. What is the green box on a work table? Looks like it has speakers mounted on a side. Is it a radio?

hey i got a quiz question for you i have a hyd system dip stick and have a hell of a time seeing where the level of oil is on the stick do you know or have a fix for it i know darn good and well the same thing happens on them deere also

So this pullys drives the feederhouse? When and why do you need different speeds? Thank you very much!

What do you use to detention your chopper belts?

What brand are those bearing/bushing drivers

That component sure has alot of pieces, just curious when u went to Sloan did u start hd, or did u start small engine n wrk up.

I notice you didn't reinstall the rubber plugs in the jack bolt holes. Was that intentional?

Can I add grease through the plug?

👍👍👍
