I have lost count of how many 4010 and 4020’s that I rebuilt in the late 60’s and early 70’s.. I worked for a John Deere dealership in the UK and loved working on the Deere’s. Lovely tractors. Watching this video has brought back some great memories.
@@bradjenkins932 I guess all marques have their problems. I also worked on Massey Ferguson’s, New Holland, Ford, International Harvester and unfortunately the Russian and Polish Zetor and Ursus. These two were built to last as you can imagine but boy were they unreliable. .
I've been doing that type of work around my county for a 35 years and couple observations when you're doing this kind of work it seems like 75% of it is cleaning. The other other notable thing is when you first started up you realize you did a lot of things are right that are not seen by most, which means there's a lot of things that can be wrong. Thumbs up.
Master mechanics at work...good job guys and you too Rhonda...you managed to coax a few words out of em...my experiences around a shortline rr locomotive shop (as here...merely observing)were that when heavy intensive work was ongoing...very little was said....except on occasion when clanging of metal unexpectedly occurred...an expletive or two...and then sometimes a "redo" of long hours of work would be redone...all part of the fun!
Pretty cool watching your boy being so meticulous. What a great skill he possesses! I grew up on a 100 head dairy farm in north west NJ till I was 15 and boy do I miss it, especially working with family and friends. Thanks for the videos.
Nice to see the guy’s working together. Not a surprise to see the mechanical they have, without those skills it would almost be impossible to start farming. Kudos to the whole family including MacKenzie.
I have been watching your videos for a couple months now and this is my favorite so far. Family working on various projects in a shop that isn't immaculate with basic tools and still doing high quality work.
I know you've probably rebuild engines before but I've taken 4010 Motors and put in a Reliance kit with a new camshaft and got a hundred 10 horsepower out of them I would also put in a new oil pump drive here and replace the rod bushings
You are going well. a friendly reminder, it's good practice when installing gudgeon pin circlips into groove to turn the circlips in the groove during installment, it's like a guarantee for yourself knowing circlips are seated correctly.. cheers and good work 👍
As handy of mechanics as the guys are it would be fun to see the shop get a hydraulic floor hoist upgrade. They are pretty spendy though, usually about $1k/1000lbs plus installation costs.
I like your videos very much. You have a great family with good work ethnic. I don't mean to pick on anybody, but when you put an engine back together you never put oil on the back side of a bearing because it could cause the bearing to spin on the crankshaft thus ruining a good overhaul job that you did.
Not telling you what to do, just a suggestion you should of sent those rods out to get shot pen to for stress release and aline hone the block just a suggestion
Hi could you give a bit more information on this project, was the crank refurbished or replaced, same on the con rod, was the head refurbished valves replaced, oil pump checked, diesel system refurbished, clutch replaced, parts from where and a rough cost of parts, omc parts or genuine, cheers.
well well done boy you guys are going to give old Andy from farming and fabricating a run for his money nice job boy the old girl started right up nice work
Good to see a young man getting his hands dirty and actually doing something that matters. All the other boys on UA-cam are trying to flex how much money their daddies gave them.
WORKING AT A GM DEALERSHIP IN THE EARLY 80's, GOT TO WARRANTY NUMEROUS TRANSMISSIONS WHEN A TECH USED RED SHOP TOWELS TO WIPE DOWN ALL THE PARTS INSTEAD OF AIR.
I can tell you're probably what happened he either ran it low and oil or he had it on a hillside under a load where it sucked air or the camshaft gear is stripped that drives oil pump that's more like it what's wrong with it
“Whoops” - what a great comeback…. lol. “I just lifted a tractor” - very impressive lifting technique. Ethan is a great mechanic, he could make a good living as one. But I’m glad he’s staying on the farm because America needs farmers! This video was edited perfectly, kudos to the camera crew….
Good job 👍 Don’t put lube on the back side of the bearings. You want the back side clean and dry. Safety glasses when cleaning. That’s a mom thing you need to remind him.😉
True that, no lube on back of bearings. It can give you a false reading on plastiguage and make it easier to spin a bearings. Looks like you did a great job cleaning it up.
Im a machinist and I have few recommendations. I hope you replaced the rod that had the spun the bearing and also you should have all the rods resized at a machine shop. They would grind off a little off the rod and cap where the cap fits on the rod and then open the bore to the proper size. This would help to keep the bearings from spinning again. They would also install a new bushing in the small end and open it up to proper size.
Gr8 4010 video !!!!!! I have two 4010,s an have served me well an both are still working in hay an winter feeding .Great to see these older models of JD still putting in a day’s work. You all did great bringing the 4010 back to working condition . Really appreciate your hard work an skills .Good camera work as well !!!
Acres of Clay Repair & Service, Inc. featuring Kevin and his two sons Sydney & Ethan. This how to: episode is brought to you by: The UA-cam Channel. Thanks for watching! Another successful outcome on display here as we watch the trio get down to business. Awesome job guys! Have a great week!
Nice job on this one guys! Those 4010s can be little bit of a bear to work on. Between all those lines that run across the top of the engine splitting the tractor is kind of a pain. Then there’s the 24 V system… It starts on 24 V but everything else is 12 so that can be a little tricky. Then it has that synchro range transmission where the linkage gets a little worn out and it’s hard to shift.. then there’s the steering when it gets air in it and the front wheels don’t line up with the steering motor and you have to bleed it out lol. They are really cool tractors though. Nice job men
Dad has done a great job in teaching the boys! It must make you both proud! There all something to be proud of and you as parents ❤ have taken the time and the Love and the Grace of God have created this wonderful family 👪 I do believe there's something extra special about all farmers. They very dedicated and God fearing people 🙏 I don't know what we would do without You! There are so many things that you have to deal with on a daily basis. I personally appreciate everything you go through to get your products to us, we don't thank you and appreciate you enough!!! So once again thank you and thank all farmers. God Bless and my prayers go out to you all!!!! Love Ya!
@@brendabaxter4045 Ty.... but at 75, I know I make a lot of mistakes, but Rhonda gets the message in what I'm trying to convey! That's what counts! Have a SUPER day!
Quick answer...why not just worry about you! If you really think the average do it your selfer is gonna be worried about safety like larger operations your sadly mistaken. I really wish people had better things to bitch about. SMH
I was thinking that same exact thing also place the rod bearing on the rod before placing it in the bore so your 100%s sure the bearing is seated properly.. but hell great job ..
Just awesome! As this was my first video, I'm not sure of your son's age. But I will tell you this, he puts to shame most of my friends boys hands down. Great job young man! Reminds me of the days before the internet, cell phones and video games. We all worked with our hands and our minds. A simpler time but to me, a better time.
You don't part out John Deere 4010's and 4020's their resale value is very high .. More than they cost new. "Inflation" Looks like it was not damaged very much for being seized .. My Grandfather and some other High School aged Buddies were driving a Model A ford from Kalamzoo area to Lansing to go to a Michigan State AG show.. their car had a rod bearing go bad.. They found a repair garage with a pit.. Pulled the oil pan put a strap of leather in place of the babbit bearing and made it back to the Vicksburg Kalamzoo area..
Great job Ethan at somebody that used to rebuild a lot of engines back in the seventies eighties and nineties you did a great job I like your detail how you do it you do a great job and would make somebody a great mechanic but I'm glad you're staying on the farm and I'm glad you up your neighbor's thank you very much great video as always God bless the whole family stay safe
I've watched all of your videos you guys are great hard workers. But please please never ever put oil on the backside of a bearing that's a big No-No peace and love from Ga.
Always such a treat when you show Kevin and the boys, successfully repair a tractor, truck, piece of equipment, I enjoy watching Sydney working so carefully, such a knowledgeable family, thanks for sharing this
Can't keep a Deere down 😅 . After your boy has lived a little longer he'll be more appreciative of all the things Mom does and did for him, keep the faith 🙏 🤪🇺🇸
Big project. I noticed he oiled the back side of a bearing. I only do gas engines but I don't think you want to do that. Normally only oil the surface going to the crank
Quick tip.... Take you 2 bolts the same size as the bell housing bolts, cut the heads off of them and thread them into the block. Then when you are trying to line up the block with the bell housing it will slide on with ease.....

I really enjoyed this video. Your video skills are on point. You showed the many talents of your men. Kevin is a good coach. Thank you.
Very interesting video thanks for your time to do the video on 4010 John Deere tractor
Thank you for watching!!
Fascinating to watch. I studied heavy duty diesel mechanics and had an opportunity to operate a 3010 for a couple summers.
2:48 Did we just see Dad outlift two sons? Way to go!
Not that the boys should leave the farm but the mine here in Nevada would pay big money for their skill. Proud parents you must be!
You all made my day! Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Thanks for watching!
Young Lad has nice way , good hands knows how to work , not yelling and great to see not firing tools down. Bright Man.
Like his mothers people
One of the most gorgeous shop superintendents on UA-cam. Bet she runs that shop with an iron hand.

if your going that deep replace al the bearings bushings including camshaft
@@michaelwillcutt2619 oh yeah that's just part of the camshaft never replace a cam without replacing the bushings or the bearings
Tell that young man to wear safety glasses next time he uses that whiz wheel!!

Best video of this type thank you folks.
Another project completed. Well done!
As handy of mechanics as the guys are it would be fun to see the shop get a hydraulic floor hoist upgrade. They are pretty spendy though, usually about $1k/1000lbs plus installation costs.
One would definitely be handy at times...
You finally got a John Deere on your property amazing Pretty in Pink Randa!
The team doesn't again great job guys
Does Deere prepare a kit for rebuild that includes all the parts, gaskets, etc.? Another great job. Thank you for following and editing the video.
Yes you can get complete rebuild kits from Deere and aftermarket sources also.
Once again, Wow!
I like your videos very much. You have a great family with good work ethnic. I don't mean
to pick on anybody, but when you put an engine back together you never put oil on the back
side of a bearing because it could cause the bearing to spin on the crankshaft thus ruining

I guess i will bring all my old equipment over on the Ferry for you guys to work on 😅
John Deere tractors are number one
awesome job!... thanks 4 video. be kind.
I would not stand under those forks good content
Great job on the rebuild. Always appreciate group efforts when needed. By the way.... that JD green looks pretty good on Acres of Clay. :)

Only lube the crank side of a bearing, never the under side of a bearing!
It's good to lube both sides..
The bearing will spin easier.... Lmao

WORKING AT A GM DEALERSHIP IN THE EARLY 80's, GOT TO WARRANTY NUMEROUS TRANSMISSIONS WHEN A TECH USED RED SHOP TOWELS TO WIPE DOWN ALL THE PARTS INSTEAD OF AIR.
That's too good a tractor to salvage out I would rebuild the engine
When you’re out in the Workshop with your Boys, you’re more than likely going to get a little dirty.😬
Ballpark……. What was the repair charge?
Lip? Bearing tang. Use terms like spun a bearing. Your metal was babbit.
No ppe?
does it suppose to have such low oil pressure would have expected 50psi at least
Manufacturer says, 20-25 psi while idle. 35-40 psi while working.
Good job you guys. I wonder who said some bad words when you pinched your hands or fingers the dad or the young men
👍👍👍
I can tell you're probably what happened he either ran it low and oil or he had it on a hillside under a load where it sucked air or the camshaft gear is stripped that drives oil pump that's more like it what's wrong with it
Is there anything you can’t fix?!
🛠🛠
This is an Amish community never seen that before,lol 😆😂 lol
5:40 to 5:53

When using the grinder that should wearing safeglass for safety. You need your eyes too see and if metal can cause eye trouble

Mom wasn't there when he was cleaning, if I had been, I would have definitely said something. 🥴
True that, no lube on back of bearings. It can give you a false reading on plastiguage and make it easier to spin a bearings. Looks like you did a great job cleaning it up.
And don’t Touch the bags with your bare hands The acid and oil off your skin. Do bad things to bangs of all kinds
better put up a shop for ethan smart guy
Im a machinist and I have few recommendations. I hope you replaced the rod that had the spun the bearing and also you should have all the rods resized at a machine shop.
