The biggest problem I had after I built my big shop was I kept filling it up with projects!!! Lol. That's a deep dive, look fwd to the refurbishment... that tractor is better than any new model 140 +- HP tractor for 1/5 the price, rebuilt "brand new". It will be worth doing, we've done 3 and the good cheap reliable flexibility around the operation makes those old rebuilds invaluable, got a show room 4020 that we bought new we've been 1 owner it's whole life, I use it to run conveyers! Be careful, here comes 2023!!!

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

Ha thanks.
We are so backed up, once the 4430 is done I can get back to customer jobs.

Hahaha , like that kind of humor. It is the first thing I hear today : )

[@clydeschwartz2167]

Excellent video I usually replace the evaporator core because like the one your working that foam pad that was above the core has rotted and is so stuck in the core fins and you can't get any air flow thru the core and the cooling capacity of the system the same with the condenser core. Keep up the excellent videos

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

Great point.

I am doing the cab fans on my 4430 right now thanks for heads up on the ap air fans. A lot cheaper than what mother dear wants

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

Yes. And a little cleaner fit. They move a lot of air.

[@sepresley1]

nice air chisel and hole drill trick...had to do this on my 4240...needles to say i had to buy new evaporator

[@todddaniels9488]

Thank you for the in-depth detail. Great video. Just lots of hours like most projects. You using mostly Deere parts or jobber?

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

for the cab almost all aftermarket, deere is just to expensive. for transmission parts i get deere, and not the deere alternative. that alternative line of parts is pretty bad sometimes.

Hi Jon. Hope your well! Is it possible to fit a heater valve incorrectly? I’ve just had my aircon sorted bits it’s still pumping warm water round with the knob right down. If I clamp the heater pipe off the aircon is good which makes me think it’s the valve which is new.

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

@@danielallerton1805 I don't know how you could install it incorrectly but them valves don't always turn the greatest to throw inline water valve down at the engine bay or at the cab corner to shut that water line off isn't the worst idea

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 hey John. On these 55 series. Is it right that the hot water for the heater comes from the engine and straight to the evaporator and is regulated on the way out? According to the manual my pipes are the wrong way round somewhere

Hello. If I want to change the speakers on a 55 series. Can I just undo the screws round the edge or will I have to re glue some of lining?

Nope, just remove the 4 screws.

Love watching your videos! Have you ever had to fix a sloppy throttle on a 4020? Mine is loose and out of adjustment and I’m wondering what all it would take to fix.

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

If you look how your throttle works you're rotating that steering column. You follow that down by your clutch and brake pedals that side little sheet metal comes off and then you'll see the linkage coming from that tube on your steering down to another Pivot Point and then
Goes to the injection pump so you just follow that linkage and look for where there might be some slop

[@taylorsunderlage5176]

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Okay thank you. I know there’s slop where the column rotates haven’t gotten down to the linkage yet. Happy Easter!

[@jamesmckeon8251]

Jon some times on my 4430 the blower fans come on when you turn the switch on some times they don’t where do you think I need to start

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

You could just try changing the switch but honestly I would lift the camera up and follow the voltage. Are you getting voltage through the switch when the fan isn't working? Are you getting voltage to the fan and they're not working?

What Brand of Blower motors do you use. And who supplies them

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

We have been getting motors from AP Air and had good luck.

I recharge with three pounds. .And then watch the low side pressure compared to the air temperature and the foam in the site glass of the receiver dryer.
At seventy degrees I would be just fine if low side pressure was around fifteen pounds. You'll always have some foam in the psychic laughs.You don't want to make it perfectly clear
