I am so glad you're still alive!! You went from "here's a little gasoline to clean this up" to grabbing the torch and sticking it in there! Obviously you cut the part out where you removed the gasoline!
Excellent video i have fixed lots of them mfwd front ends pull the axle and replace the seal in the outside of housing tube and replace all the gear and the ring gear to so they roll smoothly with new parts nothing is cheap about fixing them front hubs
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 I was kind of thinking that too if ever thing is available for that series of a tractor. I have worked on the 2950 and newer ones all the way up to one's just a few years old and them parts are not a problem just they are expensive
They're good until they aren't. Torquey Little Engines that make you think they're much higher horsepower than they are. They're great little tractors that can easily run up close to 10,000 hours. The engines are easily fixed the transmission is easily fixed what causes major expenses on these tractors is if the two speed or the reverser or the PTO start leaking internally and you have to start replacing shafts and housings. The 6000 series was a huge leap in quality. I think if you found a really nice 2755 versus a clean 6300 you might not be that far off on price but you will be light years ahead on tractor.
I see you have Milwaukee tools I urge you to check out JDTCo. Or jdtv on UA-cam guy has great prices and a battery shock strap to keep the batteries lasting longer on the m18 stuff. As a fellow farmer and mechanic his stuff is worth looking into.
Wish there was a little more detail. For example right after the hub comes off, gasoline - why? application of torch - why? Then to help the viewer, if you have a video editor, the "boring" time spent taking the hub cover off could have been sped up.
I use the gasoline as a cleaner because it's a lot cheaper then the aerosol cans or part solvent and it works really well. Hoping this winter to have more time for editing. But when you're working in the garage on your spare time doing a full-time job on the side plus the farm I just didn't have time to be fancy or creative I will take your points in a consideration and try to do better on the mechanical videos coming up
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Believe me, I really understand. I have a few tractors and when I can't find a video, or the information that I do find is not clear, I feel obligated to make my own - meaning I am videographer, editor and publisher - just like you. Yesterday I determined that one of my JD 6105 front wheels has a camber that has become very pronounced and when weight is removed, I can move top of tire in/out at least 3/4" by hand. Something is very wrong and I am looking for how-to and tools needed to remove the assembly without hauling the whole tractor back to the homestead. Thanks for your video.
partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/62600/referrer/navigation/pgId/435230844 Most of them are a tapered bearing, if you took a jack with you and some tools you can fix it in the field. Not a bad job. Sometimes the bolts that hold the cover on can jack the cover off. Very straightforward job.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Great info! What I'm concerned about is having to weld the race(s) to get them out of the hub if stubborn. Not what I'd call an easy field job. Hoping the kingpins are the problem and not wheel bearing(s) falling apart.

Cut out the fire scenes! Lol
Pretty neat to see how that comes apart!

Nope, now some parts are no longer available from deere and used parts are getting hard to find. We are going to do a comprise on this one.

Some case David Brown tractors used that same x f mfwd front ends I don't know if the internals are the same but they look the same out side
Air hammers are so handy!! Yet, we always seem to do it the hard way first 🙄
yep! lol.
I thought you were going to take out the camera with that bearing race when you were pounding it out 😂
ha, never thought of that. for what that camera has been through it wouldnt surprise me.
Any more parts for those specific front ends are almost impossible to find
You sure made it look easy.
ha, creative editing!
I really like the part, "I have some gasoline in here" then I see the touch, lol.
When no oil spilled out removing the cover I knew it was going to be expensive.
LOL. Yeah that's never a good sign.
I must have missed seeing you ever using these tractors. How many do you have? This was neat seeing you break it down for repair.
Customers tractor. We have had a JD repair shop on the farm since 1995
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 ok, that did cross my mind but wasn't sure. Fun to watch that kind of stuff.
Great video!
You made that look pretty easy. Is there places to get after market parts or do you stick with OEM?
Over in Wisconsin we can find good used parts but I don't know of any aftermarket for these gears
A good way to spend the winter shop time whats in front of the 2940 6200?
6300, needs transmission work.
I'll take second, I figured you'd give an overview on the 2290.
maybe.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 is that 40 series hydrallic or mechanical front end?
mechanical.
Hi how much horsepower is that tractor????
Are those little tractors any good? I always thought they look handy but never really been around one.

Hi jon.what is the hammer action u used instead of a hammer
You mean the air hammer?
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 yes the air hammer.ive never seen one.it it purposely for hammering and does it have different attachment s
I see you have Milwaukee tools I urge you to check out JDTCo. Or jdtv on UA-cam guy has great prices and a battery shock strap to keep the batteries lasting longer on the m18 stuff. As a fellow farmer and mechanic his stuff is worth looking into.
Thanks for the lead!
👍Part 2?
when parts show up!

Number 4 is the bearing you are after
