Whoever thought up those pins was a smart person who made that so much more expensive than the older models 😂that’s my opinion on them lol great video thanks for sharing

Agree seems overly complicated for what it is. I'm no engineer though! 🤣

I saw one of your (Sloan Implement) combines helping harvest some winter wheat for a farmer that had lost everything in a tornado. Millennial Farmer was recording Farm Rescue helping those folks out. Thanks for supporting them.

It was funny watching you trying to get that motor to slide in there 😂 the hesitation was real and I could see why!

The size and complexity of equipment just boogles my mind compared to the '60's and 70's when I in high school and college!!

Im from east side of europe and i love to watching your videos. You are doing great job and teaching at the same time.

Thank you very much!

As I watch the precision / complicated parts you work on....Can’t imagine the teams of Design Engineers who originally created these unbelievable machines....

Some interesting technical content here Zeth. I'm not sure that motor arrangement is a good design. Thank you Sir for taking us along. Good that you have your customer's best interest at heart on warranty , rather than the OEM.

Hi, I am a new subscriber from AUS and I’m really enjoying your videos so thanx very much for posting. Unlike many contributors, your commentary is very instructional and informative so please say as much as you want as it’s all great info.

This guy has some big guns for arms. He sits down to torque bolts to 235# without any problems. If it were me, I’d have to stand on a cheater bar to get things down that tight. Nice job. Good video!!!

Worked for greens/ heritage family farms in Arthur, 7mph with a 16 row head is getting things done. It’s really unbelievable

Bless I'm a new subscriber & I thoroughly enjoy the videos. Have always been amazed by these Green Giants. Thanks 😊

What an enormous Machine! Everything about it is BIG. Takes a big man to work on it. Good show Zeth.

I have an X9 in Farm Sim 22 and concur with your clients, I love it!!!

Nice calm approach, nothing hurried.

Show us the Motion next time! Always good to see the fruition of your labor...

Thanks for another great video ZK. It was interesting and enjoyable. Wow. Big job. Replacing that rear drive motor was not easy and heavy duty for sure. Most of the steps you showed us you had down pat and assume you reviewed the plan in your tech manual. I would be somewhat afraid of that job but you came thru in flying colors. Nice work ZK. That was heavy duty work all the way. I learned a lot watching you on this one. You amaze me. You just have at it and know your plan. My sincere compliments to you ZK for doing this motor replacement work. Thanks for everything ZK. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

Well something new zeth.nice repair there not something to rush with as they all look heavy parts 👍👍👍

Another great job Zeth thanks for sharing 🦘

The way you explain every step of the way is so amazing haven’t had any experience with the Combines. Have stinting farming with an old A84 . Have moved a lot of John Deere machinery over the years use to bring 2 combines a time back in the 80s from Perth to the Eastern states had to replace the drive tyres 10/20 tyres and the back of trailer the other combine tyres sat in a recess. Had wing we folded out for the rest of wheels to sit on the other truck carried the 2 fronts in Australia

X series combine. Interesting. I always enjoy watching your vids. Very well done and informative.

Man I tell you what John Deere has it figured out. Everything I look at whether it's in person or in a video like one of yours their engineering is just really something else. I like how they have the hydraulic power going to that drive motor. You were smart to put those hoses back on. I did a drive motor a little while back on 120 foot boom man lift and I put the little plastic caps in overnight..came back the next morning to 56 gallons of oil on the floor lol.. you only do that once

Clean/precise work ethics - enjoy to watch. 👍

It's amazing how you stay updated on current technology. Maybe soon you will be fixing the robot farmer that comes with the tractor.

Great video like always! thanks for the overview of the two models and comparing it to the 790, that is quite the savings and productivity gains. Nice work on the camera angles, the appropriate edits and having it in one video. Thanks for sharing with us!

What a machine ! You must spend a LOT of time in school learning and keeping up with the tech to work on these machines.

I have a set of tool steel wedges I had made with nice chamfered edges and various angles . They would have been perfect for getting that tie rod off . One each side and tap them in .. if the space allows 👍

Thanks for making it understood this is a warranty repair.

I’ve done this job on a s680 multiple times. It’s not a fun job lol 😂 , also it was in the field.

enjoy your videos... good work

Good job, thank you for posting,. I have never been too comfortable with that type of rear wheel drive, I remember the early J.D. Tractors with front wheel assist, not one of J.D. best ideas. Aside from that the X9 Combine is very good

Good job !!!

You need to do a video of the fuel tank pip. I'm doing that one next week on an 1100.

Thanks for another great video Zeth. That sure was a heavy drive motor and I like to picture weights in my head and was trying to relate it to how many bags of sugar it equaled. Here in the UK a standard bag is about 2lb (1KG) and that sure would have been one mighty pile of sugar 🙂. I take the old motor goes back to the factory for re-manufacturing?

Thank You.

Thanks for posting this. Nice work. Question 1: Would the top cap have gone down easier if the strap tension had been released (at minute 20:47)? Question 2: How did you get those down pins out of the tie-rod end? Question 3: What were the failure symptoms of the old motor?

Hey there Zeth, I hope this finds you well? 🙏 Those X9's are massive when compared to everything that came before them. 😮 That watch on your wrist looks awfully expensive for a Service Technician to be wearing while on the job? Another great fix, and your attention to detail is commendable! 👏 I hope you have a good one! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲

Hah, totally different ballgame from the wheel motor I replaced in a toro 4500 rough mower at work. The old motor had a good sized pinhole that corroded its way through the cast iron. We were constantly filling the machine up with oil and the mechanic couldn’t find where it was coming from. I eventually found it but the way the machine is built I had to have the mower on Jack stands and lay on my back on a creeper and then man handle the motor up until we could get bolts in. Now keep in mind, I’m not a mechanic. I’m a laborer with an interest in mechanical gizmos. So often I’ll take on some of the stuff I know the mechanic won’t do. But it was a fun experience. And I don’t know what the hell was going on with the motor but it had like 6-7 hydraulic ports on it. So that was fun 😂 Honestly looks like your job is pretty straight forward aside from the behemoth of a wheel motor you’re dealing with. And that strange assembly with the oil tubes. That’s weird.

very good

Man those tire dollies make it look easy 😂

Unrelated topic, I can’t find the video but I was wondering how those brunt work boots were ? Great channel helpful information keep up the good work!

Can I ask a favor. I love your videos. Can you also include the time from start to finish on these projects. I so wish I had your skills.

I'll have to go in and see how those tubes work. Seems to be a little like the center hydraulic fitting on an excavator

How much of the horsepower does it take just to move that behemoth? I have a 1928 Rumely Oil Pull 25-40 that rates 40hp for the pulley and 25hp for the drawbar accounting for the hp it takes to move the thing. It's interesting to see the new technology. Thank you for sharing great, informative videos. Please stay safe, and God bless.

hello friend ZK great video very cool these John Deere X9 engine Was it a lot of trouble? thanks arm

Really curious which golfcourse uses the giant lawnmowers!

Big Sloan Implement Def Leppard vibes going on today

That flashlight taste good? Can I make a suggestion. Go to Olight. They have some great flashlights including some that clip on the brim of your hat. A little pricey but worth it I think.

When putting that motor in, I would’ve put a lifting link in the tire bolt hole, put the strap around that, and then used a 1/4 ton come along to level it out.

What Sloan are you located at man a guy I work with in Indiana goes there every weekend

Do you think that the LSW tires may have been the reason for the motor to start leaking. I don't believe that I heard where it was leaking from??

Hmm hydraulic driven wheels never would have thought ... Worked in Navy Aviation what pressure is your standard op pressure... we did 3k and we used a red fluid ... cant remember the spec or civilian equivalent

Where did you get those tapered plugs from

They sure are more complicated than the older Mud Hogs. Do you know how many gallons per minute ? Are they a 2 speed ?

My 9770 John Deere combine has a power steering Lock up, but everything thing else seems to be working fine. so any tips on how to fix it?

I hear some guys say they like s790 more for beans because they think it had more power than a x9. Cant remember if that was a 1000 or 1100

How’s the corn yielding

In your video you use some orange rubber plugs to control oil leakage. I have looked everywhere for them. Where can a person get it them?? Thanks
