Putting a Grouser Blade frame on a John Deere 9620R 

I know I’ve said this before but Andy you have one hell of an awesome crew and family working with you you have gotta be the proudest father I know your kids are all amazing

Andy at least you don't lose your sense of humor I've never seen you lose your sense of humor you're a hell of a mechanic an engineer

Congratulations to Sarah, she wants that interior of the tractor very clean , she left her shoes/ boots on the landing / step , amazing young lady , stay safe .

I always took excellent care of the bosses equipment. Back in 1979 had a 4640 fwa And an 8630 were the big boys Also had a 4430, 4230 loader tractor and the pride of the fleet a 4320. No matter what I ran it was cleaned and checked over daily. The least you can do for the boss. Good equipment, good care.

Great video. I got a kick out of.Sarah hiding behind the RH axle on her phone when the LH tire was being installed. Smart lady right there. :)

Good going Sara! Pride in your ride! 🤗

Wow, that was a marathon, Good seeing Sarah detailing here iron! That's z lot of work handling those big ole shoes!

If Sarah starts chewing then you'll have to deal with spit bottles all over in the tractor😂😂

Looking good Andy can't wait to see the blade on the tractor I'm sure it will look sharp

Enjoyed your video Andy thanks nice work. Have a good day

What a great group of dudes you have working for you…

Lots of work. I am quite sure Shara is not smoking and I sure hope she doesn’t start chewing tobacco. 😂. Very interesting job with that heavy steel. What happened to other fork lift. Thanks

Fascinating to watch the changes to the new tractor. Like being taken along on the whole process. It is what I enjoy, and would like to be in on the fun on the floor, but know I'm too old to more than just think about it.

I used to smoke for a good number of years then I bought a newer truck and didn't want to stink it up so I quit cold turkey and it's been over a year. But anyone I worked for or was with out of respect I didn't smoke in anything. As weird as it sounded even tho I smoked I hated the smell it left. But I still chew, one bad habit at a time 😂

Keep up the good work Sarah. The tractor is lookin nice and clean in side for this year's work. If you want to quit smoking vapeing is more safe than burning holes in the seat.

Thats the difference between the guys and girls the girls like clean equipment a spotless cab i a sign the previous owner too good care of his/her equipment another great job Sarah.

Wow, it was as hard as I thought it would be when it was delivered. Tough job working on equipment so much larger than the forklift😂

Every video is so awesome that you guys do this is the one I’ve been waiting for to see what goes into mounting a blade on a tractor

She’s going to be a wide beast when you get all 4 tires on.

Hi Andy ! Good job Sarah , that cab will be your office very soon , do not chew tabaco . Good job Andy , i was scare that monster the front get down on the floor whit all the front weight . Thanks Andy for your time and everybody have a good day at the farm ! 🙋‍♂️

Sarah , good job cleaning the cab.

Hey Andy, I love the equipment and what your fam does...from Ottawa Canada...cheers! Great channel and content,,,,,thank-you.

That tiger tool yoke puller changed my life lol. Great tool

That 9620r is going to be a beast when you get done with it.

That Tiger kit made that look easy.

You should ceramic coat it while it's clean

Good job Andy! Looks like fun.

You should have one of those co. Come in and ceramic coat your tractors i had some equipment done and it looks amazing

the new tractor looks like it's in mucho good condition 👍🏼

Looking forward to seeing how many acres a day the tillage crew can cover this spring.

Always great videos never too long

Tiger tool makes life easier. The u joint puller is a must have if you don’t already have it

Wow! nearly 1200 horsepower in that shop!...not so sure Sara is a smoker but it was good of Andy to gently poke fun at her to get her to quit (think it was supposed to be a pun on her sister Alex):)

I saw that 9620 at caz with a blade frame, and I had to look for a second. I thought it was yours. Lol it was parked right next to that beautiful 9900.

Side shift on the forklift would be a great time saver.

Damn Sarahs got a nice tractor

You guys should startup the John Deere show that was stared by "Gota go” he was a farmer [as to what not to do] during the days when John Deere use to have movie nights for their customers to see the new lines of John Deere equipment available. Geez I miss though days.

Andy see some of the other you tubers have got that tire attachment for grabbing tires have watched you guys for a while and if anybody could use a demo it’s you guys great content

Well done Sarah, I'm impressed. 😮 😊

Great job on the cab Sarah!! Mixed feelings on the chew tho, but I’m a big fan of Copenhagen. 😂😂😂😂😂 Andy that blade is quite an undertaking! I’m sure if you repurpose the weight bracket you’ll have it stronger than new.

JD went 40 years with frames that had matching bolt holes for equipment mounts, but the New crop of genius engineers don't have a clue about keeping older blades, etc to use on new stuff. Very intelligent dumb people. Great video, again!

Did you ever imagine you would hav a tractor that big and awesome, that it makes your shop look kinda small and short. Lol. Really tho biggest tractor i have ever seen, modern.

Since we’re looking at forks, can you do me a favor and check the heels for wear particularly on the old lift. The fork thickness just after the 90 degree bend should be no less than 90 percent of what the vertical thickness measurement is up by the carriage. Using metric measurements is easier. I’m Guessing that fork is 60mm thick x 150mm wide. (6,000? lb. Truck) If the fork is only 53mm right after the bend where the heel meets the floor, they are worn out and should be changed. Technically torching holes in the tips is a no no too, but I’ve never seen a farm forklift that didn’t have them… Carry on Andy, Great show!! Thanks!

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊

Hey Andy, it’s election year , you gonna plant a special corn field this year?

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO ANDY 😊

Great video thinking ahead to chas the threads on the frame an I see you are using lp on cutting torch 👍🚜

Andy I was going by a building the other day that looked like it had a 9620R either way it was a john deer.

ANDY YOU NEED TO BUILD DECENT STANDS (ADJUSTABLE) FOR THOSE TRACTORS YOU ARE GOOD ON WELDING PROJECTS /THEY LAST FOREVER . THE WOODEN BLOCKS YOU COBBLED TOGETHER DONT CUT IT/I WAS EXPECTING THE TRACTOR TO FALL OVER / CHEERS

Great video.

yep those little vacumes are great

Thank you for another great video. Cheers

Do you think it will be to heavy for some of the fields you’re going to Plow?

That Clark fork lift is the ticket. It's a beast of burden!

if you are not done with this yet looking in from here i think i woutd put the forks under the tire then come off the top the mast with come along to pull the top the tire out where you need it useing the jack under tractor to help with the height in the mix

When you were sliding frame in under tractor, I was saying " I hope he see the hood" lol.

That's the hubs we have on the case stuff and they seem to be easier to remove and install then the deere but give them some time to build up dust and rust and they can still be a pain

Another good one Andy 🚜🇺🇸👍

you're very resourceful..but could you you use straps and the gantrey to hold up to tractor to help?

New rules- No smoking in the shop or in any company equipment.

Your on fire Andy 🔥

1:41 that happened to me once aswell, it was a very sad day.

Andy you work longer than i can stay awake , and the same age 65 .

For the amount you guys handle tires, you ought to buy one of those tire handlers for a skid steer.

Just asking would it not have been easier to use your mag drill to put the holes in the forks?

Andy, dangerous stuff going on, burn your shirt, hopefully not your skin. I have known someone did that laying under his car, you can imagine, lost one eye. Be carefully, also with these jack stands, if they get a kick, it´s over!

Is there any sort of wheel clamp/squeezer you could make for removing those wheels one would be mighty useful Andy

Tim almost caught it

Any reason why you didn’t use the mag drill on the forks?

Good content Andy

It always takes a woman’s touch helps that Sarah loves her tractor❤❤❤ nice job Sarah it looks brand new always keep a window open when smoking in there 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just kidding

Maybe you could find someone to trade with for the weight bracket. How much will the 9620 weigh with the new wheel weights and blade on it?

if this farming thing dont work out you will make a hell of a mechanic

Andy I’ve always thought the articulating tractors looked very sketchy sitting on jack stands up underneath them. Could you not fabricate a “jack stand” that cradled the end of the axle or would that be too much pressure point loaded on them?

what if you lubed the axels with the rust proofing stuff that you use for new vehicles.. I forgot what's called..

Just wonder, what size tires are you running on both of those tractors?

you said "she is heavy at the front" were you talking about the tractor 😂

Hi Andy watching from Kelowna BC could you not weld all the holes in on the weight bracket and redrill to match holes on the tractor

That little strap will not get it done, Jay. Some big wheels in the shed. 🙂

cutting holes in the forks?? I assume OSHA does not apply to you?

That new tractor is a size. Regarding weights, how do you work out how much you need for traction and not going overboard and make the thing too heavy. Sarah was doing a nice job on the cab. Tell her to smoke a pipe instead and run a hose outside of the cab for her.

Big horse in the shop day.

Oi 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯

Dose sahra have opinion on the 9620r also Alex.

Can you use your A frame

How is serviceability with the blade frame on? Drain plugs etc have holes cut in the frame?

Have you ever thought bout getting tractor on track's? Or does it not fit your mileage on the farm

is there a big different between propane and acceltting

Wow Andy I was nervous as a whore in Church with that tractor teetering forward. Whew!!! Great videos as always!! Thanks for all you do. Jim.

You don't smoke Sarah I smoked for 55 years I've been off them a year. Your upholstery would smell awesome 😮

We are in New York. A pack of named brand smokes. 13 dollars and up. A can of dip. 10 dollars. Great reason to quit here. 😂or not to start.

Couldn’t you have mounted the weights before you put the wheels on then you wouldn’t have to take them off again?

HI Will you use never seas.

Andy why didn't you buy a dagleman blade ???

Jared love the CAT HAT!!! Cat construction and Deere farm!!! The only way to roll!!!😅😅😅

Ok so a few videos back when you showed the wheel weights you said they are for Alex's tractor. So is the 9620 Alex's???

👍

Is there a reason you went with a grouser blade this time?

Are you gonna do any tillage with the 9620 or is only for the bunk

i knew you were doing it wrong as i was sitting here in my armchair....
