I had an old 88’ Volvo, and I swear to god, whom ever did the wiring on it, what very little there was, was high as a meth-kite... it made zero sense and was an absolute mess, but it ran and quite well too... I never touched and never looked at it again. Wires=trouble.

@Jay Cleaning up after a meth head wiring job is always fun. -Every used project I've ever worked on Got an '86 Honda quad right now, that wiring is all over the place but after probably an hour of testing and repairing all the wiring, it all is functional. Cleaning it up so the entire side of that quad isn't wires hanging has been the harder part. I'd never want to work on something with an advanced computer where the wiring has been molested like that.

@CAROLINA PATRIOT How about having to get the implements synced up to the tractor’s computers so that they work properly???!!! Look up a KZreadr called Millennial Farmer(I think), he has several pieces of farming equipment that is all computer controlled, the vehicle, the attachments, vehicle speed with attachments production rates, it’s mind boggling!!

And the thing is, they don't even have to be like that. The wiring harnesses were just designed to be quickly assembled the very first time around - a cost-saving measure for the factory that ended up being a pain in the ass for maintainers, which is bass-ackwards because maintainers are going to spend exponentially more time in that engine bay than the assemblers are. The issue is that the assemblers are there at the meeting, deciding which way the design's going to work and the maintainers probably aren't (or aren't listened to if they are there). People are just people, and they listen to the advice of those who work with them every day. It'd be an opportunity for all the licensed mechanics (because they're not going to give the unlicensed ones the time of day) to get together and actually talk to the company about it in an organized way that's hard to ignore. Griping on KZread means less than nothing to 'em, much as it makes us feel better.

Westen the reason the gears are poping out is that there is a spring holding a steel ball like large bearing ball holding the gear selector in place. The spring gets fatigued and needs to be replace. It is 35 years ago I did this on my fathers Ford 9700. If memory serves me correctly, it is easily accessible from the outside on the right hand side of the transmission housing.

On the farm I grew up on we had a Ford 9000. Out of all the other tractors it was the one we used year round. Used it in the winter to split fire wood. We also had a 9n that we used around the yard. Mending fences. Both Ford's we used the most and had the least trouble. Now the Oliver's we had well they needed fixing every year. They were all open cab. No a/c just hot steel all around you. Spend a day in August with it 90 degrees out in the sun. I use to envy those big farms with the in closed cabs with a/c and a radio.

Hi Wes, Drain the fuel filter (hell replace them) and see what comes out. its been sitting for a long time and may have absorbed water from condensation in the tank. Its not good to put water through the injectors especially the new ones. The water turns to steam in the injector and erodes the pin and nozzle. Check the brakes out too. Its the sort of thing you forget about until you need them and then its tooooo late. splat. A good pressure washing wouldn't hurt it either. Its a good tractor for the money. Love your videos and your sense of humour.

Greets from the UK. I would definitely change all six injectors because they keep the engine running like clockwork. The last thing you want is another injector to become weak and you have to take the tractor to the shop to replace it. Once you've done all the repair work needed, you will have one of the nicest tractors that I have ever seen! Good luck with everything.

Yea, you can do a lot of slowing down with the throttle with these tractors, but to take it down the road, you need brakes. I have 3 older 40 series John Deeres and a ‘95 model 8400 with mechanical front. It’s absolutely amazing what the modern tractor will do in terms of applying pulling power to the ground and using wider implements and covering more ground, but years ago, in the next county my mechanic told me of one of these newer tractors being used to pull a peanut combine. The peanut debri got up in the tractor and the rodents smelled it and when they got up in it, of course they have to chew any wires they come across. Even after you clean out anything that smells of peanuts, the rodents can smell where another one went and follow the trail and find the new wiring. A real nightmare!

I had an old 88’ Volvo, and I swear to god, whom ever did the wiring on it, what very little there was, was high as a meth-kite... it made zero sense and was an absolute mess, but it ran and quite well too... I never touched and never looked at it again. Wires=trouble.

@Jay Cleaning up after a meth head wiring job is always fun. -Every used project I've ever worked on Got an '86 Honda quad right now, that wiring is all over the place but after probably an hour of testing and repairing all the wiring, it all is functional. Cleaning it up so the entire side of that quad isn't wires hanging has been the harder part. I'd never want to work on something with an advanced computer where the wiring has been molested like that.

And the thing is, they don't even have to be like that. The wiring harnesses were just designed to be quickly assembled the very first time around - a cost-saving measure for the factory that ended up being a pain in the ass for maintainers, which is bass-ackwards because maintainers are going to spend exponentially more time in that engine bay than the assemblers are. The issue is that the assemblers are there at the meeting, deciding which way the design's going to work and the maintainers probably aren't (or aren't listened to if they are there). People are just people, and they listen to the advice of those who work with them every day. It'd be an opportunity for all the licensed mechanics (because they're not going to give the unlicensed ones the time of day) to get together and actually talk to the company about it in an organized way that's hard to ignore. Griping on KZread means less than nothing to 'em, much as it makes us feel better.
Westen the reason the gears are poping out is that there is a spring holding a steel ball like large bearing ball holding the gear selector in place. The spring gets fatigued and needs to be replace. It is 35 years ago I did this on my fathers Ford 9700. If memory serves me correctly, it is easily accessible from the outside on the right hand side of the transmission housing.
On the farm I grew up on we had a Ford 9000. Out of all the other tractors it was the one we used year round. Used it in the winter to split fire wood. We also had a 9n that we used around the yard. Mending fences. Both Ford's we used the most and had the least trouble. Now the Oliver's we had well they needed fixing every year. They were all open cab. No a/c just hot steel all around you. Spend a day in August with it 90 degrees out in the sun. I use to envy those big farms with the in closed cabs with a/c and a radio.
We use to have tw-30 she was a beast, I think she sending smoke signals to let people ahead now to get out way her big beautiful rear coming through. Lol
Love the older tractors , grew up on them and drove the newer ones also more recently but I love the old stuff 😎 another great video , keep em coming !
Big fan of what you do! I've been a diesel mechanic for 10+ yrs now in various fields, worked for local Kubota dealer last(3yrs) before starting my endeavor of building my own "mobile mechanic" business going out in the field and working on tractors and equipment. Your closing comment on electrical wiring and computers being a bigger issue are completely right, yes some times it is customer error but is mostly related to rodents and they can be a huge issue! Thanks for what you do, working on starting a channel for my business "Mobile Equipment Tractor Services" (S.E. TN, N. GA, N.W. AL)
Uncle Henry rolled over in his grave when they sold his tractor division.
I would love to see some of your projects fixed all the way up and maybe even a nice paint job. I know its a lot of time and money, but I think that would be so cool. Keep up the good work!
We had a pair of TW-30 on our farm Growing up. It's funny you mentioned driving it to town, I actually drove one to school for a spirit week activity one semester. Glad to see someone bringing some life to an old dog. Keep up the great stuff!
Hi Wes, Drain the fuel filter (hell replace them) and see what comes out. its been sitting for a long time and may have absorbed water from condensation in the tank. Its not good to put water through the injectors especially the new ones. The water turns to steam in the injector and erodes the pin and nozzle. Check the brakes out too. Its the sort of thing you forget about until you need them and then its tooooo late. splat. A good pressure washing wouldn't hurt it either. Its a good tractor for the money. Love your videos and your sense of humour.
Saw this on recommended and had to let the ole lady know id be about 15 minutes late getting to bed! Love your videos!
Drive it through the Porsche dealer next time your moms car breaks down!!!

Motor was not in trucks. That’s the other 6.6l Brazil built. Dump the fuel and try new fuel, otherwise rebuild the injectors. Just crack the lines loose individually to find the bad one.

Greets from the UK. I would definitely change all six injectors because they keep the engine running like clockwork. The last thing you want is another injector to become weak and you have to take the tractor to the shop to replace it. Once you've done all the repair work needed, you will have one of the nicest tractors that I have ever seen! Good luck with everything.

I've subscribed just to see what you do with this tractor. $700 plus injectors, you can't lose. These old tractors will be running long after the modern tractors have been sent to the scrap yard with "electrical problems". We've got MF tractors from the 1950's and 1960's, they're easy to maintain, and more importantly they're easy to troubleshoot. Greetings from Australia.
Thanks for the Video.... You are 110% correct about the Computer stuff in "All" the newer Tractors and Farm Equipment...And to make matters worse, its all "Proprietary"....You have to have a Technician from the MFG come out and trouble shoot any problem.

Yea, you can do a lot of slowing down with the throttle with these tractors, but to take it down the road, you need brakes. I have 3 older 40 series John Deeres and a ‘95 model 8400 with mechanical front. It’s absolutely amazing what the modern tractor will do in terms of applying pulling power to the ground and using wider implements and covering more ground, but years ago, in the next county my mechanic told me of one of these newer tractors being used to pull a peanut combine. The peanut debri got up in the tractor and the rodents smelled it and when they got up in it, of course they have to chew any wires they come across. Even after you clean out anything that smells of peanuts, the rodents can smell where another one went and follow the trail and find the new wiring. A real nightmare!
