    Just a heads up... might want to keep in mind some cats like climbing into the engine compartment under the hood to get warm in the winter. Had a couple of strays get chopped up in the cooling before in the past when I went to start the engine. Good practice to smack the hood a couple of times to scare any kitties out before starting the engine if you have cats around.

      great advice😃mice and rats like to chew on electrical cables, cats like to chew on mice and rats.
      so it's always worth giving the engine cover a few slaps to check for sleepy lil' kitty-cats.👋🐱🐭

    I grew up as a small town Iowa kid that spent his summers working on area farms and getting sunburned to a crisp in the seats of old John Deere B tractors. Retired now, I had a career in electronic manufacturing engineering. I have always said that the best engineers in the world are farmers with broken combines at harvest time. Good job, you guys!

    What Grant said about UA-cam videos showing parts slide off easily, but when you come to do it yourself it's always a struggle, feels so familiar. I just replaced the brakes on my girlfriend's car, pads, discs and calipers. Right rear took me a week, oiling, heating and hammering to get it all off because it was so stuck. Left rear, about two hours (which I think is not to bad, being my first time doing it).

    @bobbolieu9013 Рік тому

    Great work guys. I think that it was "easier" than in times past because you got right on getting it fixed rather than not being able to get to it until 4 or 5 days had passed. Even though there was rust on the shift, and most likely at the gear box, that rust hadn't had time to rust together and make that nasty fussy mess that has been there before. A few hours can make a huge difference

    Amazing video as usual! Watching you from Guayaquil, Ecuador, South America. Remembering good memories when I was a kid in the 80's.

    Hi Laura, I've been a viewer for 2-3 years. My wife and I purchased a small farm in California. I needed JD help caring for, repairing, safe usage, and ran into you and Grant on UA-cam.
    I've really enjoyed learning from Grant, yourself, and a few other channels that go into detail. Between the manuals and UA-cam, I've been able to get new tasks completed. I've mowed corn before on a big farm in ND, but I've never taken apart and repaired a head. You do have to create a shop with the necessary tools to work on larger equipment. I would enjoy learning more about the settings on the Pioneer Corn Hybrid app. Why do you and Grant use one setting over another?

    I spent a week and a half trying to get the coil for the PTO off my JD lawn tractor. All the videos, were at worst hit it with an air hammer to vibrate the penetrant oil in. No, I had to craft a bracket across the top to put a hydraulic puller on. And then it refused to budge after being under pressure all night until I tried a couple last minute pumps before I took a torch to it. It took so long as I was running to buy ever more aggressive tools.

    Thank you for the daily updates. They show that there is more to farming than just planting a crop, waiting for it to grow, and then harvesting it. Equipment brakes, weather delays you, etc. You go out into the fields before the sun comes up and go home after the sun sets. And there are the kittens that make your day complete.

    Thanks for another great video Laura and Grant. It was interesting.
    You had to take quite a bit apart to get that gearbox out. Think letting the dealer overhaul the gearbox is a good move. You can do the remove and replace and let them fix the gearbox. That shaft came out fairly easy. Hopefully it will go back together as easy. Rainy days are good for this kind of repair work.
    That little kitten is really cute. Likes that floor sweeper.
    Thanks for everything. You both take care and be safe.

    I started putting lithium grease on anything that has a tendency to rust and seize, I think it lasts even longer than anti-seize and it's quicker and easier to apply. Except for exhaust bolts/nuts/clamps, there you'd still want to use the high temp copper anti-seize.

    You are probably aware of this but as it gets colder the kittens will look for warmth any where they can find and at times they will climb up inside the engine of your vehicle, and the results of that are obviously not good. Something to be aware of. Just triggered my memory when the kitten showed up in the barn looking like it came from the jeep.

    Just using the cordless ratchet is doing more than most men could do. But as a VERY experienced mechanic, how you put it back together is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than taking it apart. If you do it correctly, like it clearly was the last time, then next time will be just as easy. If not easier. Have faith in set screws. Make sure they are tightened properly. I'm sure I'm not telling anyone anything new. You clean up quite nicely for the add. Your beautiful hair is getting SO LONG!! Bravo!!

    We always rebuild our gearboxes every year right before harvest they are cake and cheap insurance. Corn heads take alot of abuse there is alot of shock loading on the gears and bearings. Takes about 2 hours per box to take apart and clean and reassemble once you've done it a few times and we keep 2 extra ready to go for that harvest time emergency.

You all think it's no big deal, but that must be expensive. I mean, the corn is a bit higher up, even bent over, it seems. I mean, disk if you go too high. Back yard farmer here don't listen to me lo Men can''t help but figure. After a while, you'd learn the bad spots of a field's drawls. your video's are great still wish I was a farmer.

    Laura; tells us that she's not mechanically minded:
    Right after using an impact wrench to pull off a part from a combine?
    After we've seen her change oil, replace parts on multiple vehicles, get an engine working in the field, get a pivot working, help Grant replace the distributor, and do at least a dozen other things that would intimidate most folks.
    Side note to Grant: I'm soooo glad that I'm not the only person who UA-cams videos, goes to remove (the brake pads on a car) and then finds that it takes 3 days because a bolt won't come off, and you finally have to cut the whole thing off! Ohboy.
