If you fill up the diesel bowl and filters prior to installation, start up will be so much easier and quicker. It also reduces the chances of getting air in the fuel system
@@TKCL nice to know. Guess who grew up on a dairy farm 45 years ago and who did most of the maintenance work on tractors and implements by the time he was 10? Lolololol
Hi, Andrew! Thank you for another well done and helpful video. See you Sunday. I am eager to watch you split wood on this channel and hunt on the other channel when the weather cools off.
Maintenance of equipment is vital. Regular general maintenance and care will help keep your equipment running smoothly and in great shape. My grandfather had a lawnmower that was nearly 30 years old that looked nearly brand new. He all ways would wash and dry it after each use and coated it with a light coat of WD-40. Changed the oil regularly as well as the air filter. He believed in preventative maintenance on both equipment and automobiles.
Great tutorial, I am at daughter’s farm with 4044M and your series on maintenance is excellent .Thanks How about a service on the fuel tank screen. Our 4044 has been bogging down and someone said it may be fuel tank screen. Any ideas will help. Thanks
I heard that when you are changing the oil filter if you make like a little pan with a piece of cardboard and funnel it out past the houses into the bucket, it makes much less of a mess...
Did you service your own hydraulics or have them serviced? I’m wondering if a service tech left that sensor wire off by accident. Always check after mechanics now because one day I drove home to find out they left my oil cap off after an oil change and my engine compartment was covered. Lol
@@TKCL it just seemed unlikely for you, you’re kind of like me, extremely anal and overly careful about these things and those plugs are made not to really just come unlocked and accidentally pop out so I figured it was something more along those lines. That’s where I’d put my money anyway. 😂😂
i think this is something that almost always gets over looked But is really important to do ! I was taught as a child/very young 6-8yo about taking care of your equipment ! as a mater of fact we square baled about 400-450 bales of hay today and we used a baler that was 70-75 years old ..but it has ben taken care of .we went over it before we start ever time ..take care of ya stuff & it will last a lifetime or more !
I think you're running into the right to service and take care of your own equipment. This has been an issue. You can't fix your own stuff! Why can't I do it?
I am curious as to why you did not blow out and clean the engine compartment before you started to change out your air filters in the engine compartment. That is the first thing I do when I service an engine. Everything else looks great.
I did and even recorded it. That was edited out to shorten the video and I didn't feel people would want to watch it. I'm not working on dirt and dust if I don't have to. The dust you seen wouldn't blow out with 100 psi.
You would think they would have designed a better filter/location for the cab air intake than behind the tractor where it gets filthy so quick. A lot of folks use a battery powered leaf blower for keeping radiators cleared out similar to what you did. What are your thoughts about using low pressure water from the hose when around the house to also wash off the radiators assuming you let it dry before getting in the dust?
That's always been my concern about water, not being completely dry and it clogging up more. Plus water around electric connections and sensors does not sit well with me. I personally prefer the air wand.
Andrew keep an eye out up in behind your large hydraulic filter there is a seal in there where the linkage that runs your 4 wheel drive mine was leaking and it was tough to find but after a few days of removing stuff I found it. Wish I could send you a pic then it may save a few steps….
Also, beware of cheaper aftermarket air filters, especially the flat panel filters. Lots of the aftermarket ones are really bad & dont seal well. That might be "acceptable" for a cabin filter, but is not acceptable for engine air filters.
I try to order everything from the official John Deere website on Amazon. The only filter that's never available from them is the fuel water separator.
I love that you take such great care of your equipment, many don't. Your tractor looks like it is brand new. I suspect it operates like a brand new one also.
That's the way it should be. I can't complain about something always breaking down or not working if I don't put my effort in as well. Many think because they buy something expensive it should just "work". Not the case! I'm very thankful I was raised to work hard for things and appreciate them. Gald you feel the same way.
Speaking of the radiators and condensers. A part of our maintenance program in servicing motorcoaches, every spring season all the condensers, evaporators, and radiators we will use bug sprayers and evaporate/condensers cleaners which is essentially aluminum acid cleaner and flush out in between the fins. Pressurized air doesn't always clean everything.... the acid will.

I agree, but these new tractors prime themselves. It's not like the older equipment if you lose prime your in trouble 😬.

I can't wait for some more cooler weather!
My equipment operator uses that very same dewalt grease gun. He loves it
It's amazing and actually makes greasing fun.

People don't appreciate things like they use to.
Well done sir. easy to understand. A big help to anyone that owns a tractor.
Thank you
Thanks. This was a good video!!
Thank you for watching

I responded to your other comment. Take care
Like the thick oil.. I run 15w50 in my trucks, mowers, boat lol stopped that lifter tapping in truck
No kidding, that tapping drives me crazy.
I heard that when you are changing the oil filter if you make like a little pan with a piece of cardboard and funnel it out past the houses into the bucket, it makes much less of a mess...
I bought a rubber moldable funnel.
Thank you sir! Appreciate you sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you! Your video is so helpful!😊
Glad you enjoyed it
nach wie viel Stunden soll man den service machen
Love watching your service vehicles....it's the way you explain things and show us as well...great job Andrew!
Thank you
you save a lot of money servicing your own equipment.
Yes I have
👍💞
Where can I purchase the 20” wand?
I think I got mine on Amazon.
Do you buy the jd motor oil online as well?
Yes, kit is in the description. As long as you save receipts John Deere is supposed to honor the warranty. Mine is now out of warranty 😬
Did you service your own hydraulics or have them serviced? I’m wondering if a service tech left that sensor wire off by accident.
Always check after mechanics now because one day I drove home to find out they left my oil cap off after an oil change and my engine compartment was covered. Lol
It was at the shop for an emissions sensor repair and I let them service the hydraulics because the price was actually reasonable.
@@TKCL Emissions repair and hydraulic at a shop and a mysterious unplugged wire. Makes sense now. 😂😂

Very good information on John Deere tractors 🚜
Thank you for watching
Thank you very much for posting this video! It's a huge help to me and my ability to maintain my John Deere 4052R.

Hi Andrew love watching your videos no mater what they are. You have your tractor still looking bran new. 🌞🇨🇦
Thank you for the support Mr Ron!

I have found I like removing the loader to do a service like you mentioned. Thank you for the info on buying a case of jd grease
For some reason I've always avoided the loader removal.
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching
Cool! :-)
I never realized how many filters and greasing that had to be done on tractors and heavy equipment until I was watch Diesel Creek one day!
That big equipment has an amazing amount of servicing that needs to be done.
@@TKCL for sure I didn't know tractors required so much!
2nd 🤷🏽♂️😡😡😡😡
3rd, Chris and Jimmy got you... You snooze you lose my friend!
@@TKCL no way I commented when it was 31 seconds and Chris was was 24 seconds ahead of me. Maybe it changed because I edited my comment 🤷🏽♂️....
I dunno, I see what UA-cam tells me.
Ya
Your good cheese man! 🧀
First ?
Second, Chris got ya!
@@TKCL he always does lol
She thinks my tractors sexy!!!
