Thank you for taking the time to make and share these videos. It is a pleasure to watch an expert at work. I enjoy learning about these machines. Please stay safe, and God bless.
Leadallway folding adjustable platform works well on situations like those tracks. Keep on end folded up and the other end adjust to height. Use a ratchet strap to help hold in place. Just thought I’d suggest it. Use on in my shop often. Love the channel. Sounds like John Deere needs to do some major re-engineering.
Zeth really sorry about your TicTok theft problem. I won't use that platform as a matter of course, I only watch YT. I don't even use FB, as I don't like it! As to the repair "kit", I'm afraid that is a sign of the times, cost cutting wherever they can! I love your sense of humour and your music choices, as a 69yr old, I can appreciate your struggles with the number of track climbs too. Believe me it gets worse the older you get! The whole turbo replacement process looked to be less hassle than I was expecting, but it was a Cummins so no surprises about the mixture of af/metric sizes. Love your work, would love to be able to watch you in the flesh, but I'm a bit too far away to travel (UK). Still, if I can watch you tackle the things you do do, this is one happy camper! Keep up the good work and hope you can snub out the imposters wherever they may lurk. There is only one ZK Mastertech worth watching, and this is it! Thanks again from UK.
Such a heartfelt and supportive comment from across the ocean! 😄 I completely agree with you about the cost-cutting issue-these days, everyone seems to be looking for ways to save, even in repair kits. And climbing up and down these machines is definitely a challenge, especially as age starts catching up. As for the Cummins turbo replacement, it’s true that it’s a bit of a 'challenge' with the mix of imperial and metric sizes, but you’ve got to appreciate the machine’s quality. Hopefully, he can sort out the fake accounts issue because the real ZK MasterTech is the only one we want to watch! 🚜💪
Watching someone very skilled is always fascinating. I work on my bikes - including engine rebuilds, there's a surprising amount of crossover, but every video teaches me something about best practices! Brilliant channel, thanks for all the content (from the UK)
I was a nuclear engineering technician then engineer. We used miles of SS safety wire. I was a hero once for lockwireing an entire head by hand while we were having a pizzing contest with our inspectors. The Mil-spec standards are commonly accessible. The principle is to turn the fastener left loose the safety wire tightens.
Thanks for another awesome video ZK. It was informative and interesting and enjoyable to watch. First of all: congratulations to you for 100,000 viewers on the last video on the X9 with the broken track. That is a lot of viewers on one episode. Happy for you ZK!!!!!!!!!! Seems the Green Iron has done well this past couple of weeks. 1. Your video of the X9 broken track. 2. Larson Farms with the blown engine. Both of those had lots of followers. Must be harvest time!!!!!!!! Back to you and the Supercharger. Appreciated your narrative at the beginning of your video on the X9 track situation and what the outcome was. Interesting they are having trouble with the paint on those bolts. I agree with you that I would prefer the big fat tires versus the tracks. But everyone tells me once you have tracks you will really like them. Each to their own I guess. Thanks for updating us on all the other big harvesting breakdowns being worked on. Harvesting time is such a sensitive time as everyone is wanting crops out of the field and now. The other break downs you showed us were really interesting. The one were the unloading auger got damaged was most interesting. Tough one to get going again. Bet that repair was more than $10.00. Oh my. Would make you cry. Back to your supercharger. Found this part of the video most interesting. Can’t remember actually seeing one completely taken off and what it took to do that. I must admit, you had to do a lot more than I would have thought. Tons of connections and technology to disconnect-wow. Another awesome teaching tool experience. Glad you have that crane now so you don’t have to lift that heavy beast!!!!!! Now an easy exchange of parts as one thought. You were right on and got the beast of a tractor running good again. Nice work ZK!!!!!!!! Know harvest time is such a busy time for all of you technicians ZK. You keep a lot of long hours but I know your customers appreciate your hard work and dedication to getting them rolling again at harvest times!!!!!!!!! Good video. I learned a lot again following you along. I believe you were up and down those tracks 46 times during that repair. Really hard on your legs ZK. Never as easy as one might think. You take care. Lots of interesting videos at harvest time. Hang in there. Be careful. Thanks for your time and great ability to teach us another repair on Green Iron!!!!!!!’ The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊👍👍✅🎃🇺🇸
Your “previously on ZK MasterTech” was very interesting. It must be a challenge sometimes to not ridicule the operator behind some of these accidents! But I know these farmers are putting in some pretty freaking long hours too,so they’re probably not always at the top of their game.
Alright, Zeth, you're gonna have a heart attack from going up and down that track. You could train a chimp to fetch the tools for you. Or, you could lift yourself up and down with the crane. You'll need a harness for that one. Or, you could get a secondary portable tool chest with your favorite tools and lift it into place beside you and the tractor engine.
Thanks for the updates on your long list of things to fix/repair. Did you have a chance to see Chet Larson's video of their combine engine exploding? Kibble replaced the engine in the field.
I know I'm from the old school of farming when 1500 acres was a big deal. I grew up on a farm in the late 70s and early 80s. I operated John Deere 4400 and 6620 combines. Tractors of the day were 4040s, 4440s and 4640s. None of them ever broke down. I can recall that the AC quit working on one of our 4440s. And I snapped the exhaust manifold into two pieces on a 4640 when I caught the exhaust stack on a low tree branch. Sure there were occasional hydraulic leaks, leaking fuel injectors and an occasional plugged radiator but nothing as catastrophic as the failures you deal with on a weekly basis. Nothing ever required us to transport a tractor or combine into the shop. We fixed it in the field and were down maybe 4 hours at the most.
Thanks for the video. Concerning the loose bolts on the sprocket: I'm an aircraft mechanic. Almost all critical bolt heads on aircraft have drilled holes in them. We use 0.025, 0.032, or 0.041" stainless wire to secure the bolts. In the case of this sprocket we would secure each bolt together in the circle in the direction to pull them tight. It's difficult to explain but it's 100% effective. This would have never happened on an aircraft.
You beat me to it! I’d say, in order of preference: (1) Lockwire (2) Saf-T-Cable (3) Sheetmetal Siamese tab washers save all this heartache There’s a great intro to safety wire at the following UA-cam channel: ua-cam.com/video/OwFjUX6SaY8/v-deo.htmlsi=fV98axNYh4MVy48a If JD can’t supply bolts with drilled heads, maybe they’ll permit drilling OE ones (you can get bolt drilling jigs from most aircraft mechanic stores)
@@frankblack1481Agree. I've never used Saf-T-Cable, but I remember the crimpers/stretcher that applied this technology. I could be wrong, but I think DMC (Daniels) manufacturered a tool to apply the cable you're referring to. For the record, I'm an A&P technician, but spent most of my career in avionics installations. I appreciate your comment.
@@jeffhatmaker817 you’re right. The Saf-T-Cable stuff is more commonly seen in big engine OEM shops or comes from OEM on galley and lavs. It’s approved for structures but nothing wrong at all with the plain wire and the consumables and tools are relatively cheap.. not the case with the SAF-T-Cable. The big advantage is that it’s fast and also less prone to cracking whereas a tech can work-harden lockwire on install and make it brittle. Helicopter guys *love* the Saf-T-Cable from my experience.
@@frankblack1481 If you look at old equipment I mean really old stuff especially engine components they were all lock wired. But with the new stuff all the common sense went out the window...
Zeth your fast forward sounds like chinese😂. It would seem to me that bolt issues would not be an issue. It's not that you have the neighborhood helping "fix" your tractor. You are a ace mechanic and enjoy checking out the video.
Another awesome video! I totally agree with You Zeth, LSW tires are way, way better than any track system! There was a reason Farmers went away from tracks many years ago!
I'm looking at things from the mid 80's thru the 90's as a backyard mechanic that did all my own work on cars. That SAE to Metric was terrible back then, I didn't realize it was still going on today! Yeah, I don't like the stealing of someone's hard work putting out videos side of thing, I've never watched ticktok. I like your videos because of the complexity of most of the repairs, I thought I was mad at engineers, you have over twice the right to be mad as I ever was! I find your videos very impressive, you know your stuff!
Thanks for being so honest about your problems with your jd kit, and there are a lot of John Deere haters on here and I’m not a fan of their new kit but don’t forget everyone doesn’t matter what colour or make it is they all have issues we run new Holland combine and John Deere tractors in the uk and they all have issues
intereating the PCM software commands it to build boost at upto ~1500rpm presumably in readiness to take a load from the transmission / hyds, whereas after it opens the vanes right up and boost pressure drops to almost zero.
ZK, Short bolts and a short grip length are a problem with paint under them. The short bolts stretch so little, that when the paint wears away, all elongation is lost and they are essentially loose and fall out. CAT found out the same thing on the D11 tracks, when the grouser plates started falling off.
Sometimes I think it would be awesome to come out of retirement and go back to work turning some wrenches. Then I watch you busting your @ss and quickly come back to Reality! I remember how my back would feel after a full day of wrenching on big equipment!
Wow fall rush going crazy. We call field rework requests FCO's or Field Change orders. I repair something completely different but it's amazing how we face the same issues with parts and what not.
For as much work that you perform on these track machines, it would definitely be worth your time an effort to modify your work truck with a platform and tool box on that platform to save time chasing tools. Our platform trucks we use for aviation that the whole bed is a lift would be a step in the right direction
Thread locker might not keep those bolts in there forever, but I bet some Loctite will make them unscrew slower than they would without it. The damage is so expensive when they unscrew, I would think JD would experiment with some sort of thread locker somewhere. They just began selling a new formula which they claim will hold as well as the red formula, but that can still allow unscrewing of the bolt without applying very excessive torque, which is usually required with the red formula. A small differential shaft locking bolt I bought when changing the axle oil seals in my Expedition came with thread locker already applied to the bolt. I gave the wrench a couple of light taps with a hammer, just as insurance. That comes out inside there and you will be replacing the entire differential, or worse. Not cheap.
If you take that turbo apart you will find that there is rust in there on the ring that adjusts the veins clear the rust off put it back together and it will work just fine
Hi Zeth another great video sorry you are getting messed around with those false accounts always somebody to spoil things keep the videos coming watching everyone kind regards John
Thanks for another great video. I know it's the way it is these days but it seems such a waste (and expense for the farmer) to replace a whole turbo and actuator for what could be a simple little seized bearing/sleeve in the linkage somewhere. On one of my tractors there is a trailer air brake valve leak. Probably a simple O-ring. But there are no parts available...you have to buy the whole valve for around $1000.
Bonjour, je suis français et j'adore ta chaîne. Nous avons un peu les mêmes problèmes sur nos moissonneuses batteuses, surtout avec la récolte du blé et notamment sur la batteuse. Après, concernant l'explication du constructeur sur la peinture qui ferait office de "colle" Je trouve ça gros surtout de nos jours. Les ingénieurs trouvent les meilleurs matériaux pour chaque partie et étudient les contraintes, donc peinture ou pas, avec les charges motrices. Le problème est ailleurs ! Hello, I’m French and I love your channel. We have a little bit of the same problems on our combine harvesters, especially with the wheat harvest and especially on the thresher. After, regarding the explanation of the manufacturer on the paint that would act as "glue" I find it big especially nowadays. Engineers find the best materials for each part and study the constraints, paint or not, with the driving loads. The problem is elsewhere!
Zeth my local John Deere dealer in Walkerton Ontario had a X9 do the same exact thing last fall (23) pump failed brass throughout the entire system it took many hours to get it flushed along with many new parts.things happen this one is just not fun to fix
Who needs a gym, just climb up and down tracks all day. Like your torque wrench’s, little grunt here, a little verbal click there, hey it works for me, truth be known, it’s probably as close as it needs to be anyway. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
Thank you for saying it was a Cummins engine as 2 minutes before I was going ask if it was...great video.. oh then a few minutes later a differs angle show Cummins...Also what are the 2 bosses on top of the turbo for?
Cat cutting edges on dozers you have to grind the paint off I’ve only dealt with 10s and 11s but we hytorque both and the painted ones always came loose
That turbo issue, would it act up first time they accelerated after a cold soak? And then not do it again until it cold soaks again? The reason I ask, is certain generations of the Ford 6.7s I work on, would over boost first time, then not again until it sat. We replace the turbo on those for sticking VGT components. Happens most often on trucks that don't get run often.
In this era of lightweight telescopic ladders and Bora centipedes… you’d think someone could invent a way to work over the tracks that was lightweight and easy to set up. Maybe even a scrap combine steps could be made work.
Could you possibly put a small deck onto the smaller fork lift arms. Move in close to some machines that have tracks so you can work off easier. A wee set of stairs on the deck side. I know how hard it is on the legs and knees trying to work like you are on that machine
same actuator & turbo style i had on older P8 / C8.3 in peterbilt . known to have trouble sticking . why Komatsu modified their version to be oil fed and oil/hydraulic operated
Have you ever thought about as you get older and you start having serious joint problems that you could be a teacher or instructor on fixing farm machinery? You would be really good at it.
Having issues with my 8260R. When you set your SCV detent to lower or lift an implement my timer is at 8 seconds after 8 seconds it up it says the scv is off but you can still hear my hydraulic pump running. It keeps blowing O rings on the inside of the block down by the hydraulic pump. In the worst spot imaginable. Can’t keep it from blowing o rings. Ever dealt with this before or heard of this. It’s currently at the shop and they have the hydraulic pump pulled out and can’t find anything wrong.
what is it with the x9 choking up on green yellow stem beans i have seen both the 1000 and 1100 doing this i have seen the videos where they choke up at a snails pace for real
Paint on track chains will guarantee loose plates always so the same with track sprockets I can’t believe that anyone would assemble two metal surfaces with paint between them
Companies look for ways to increase their profit margins if they can remove parts they make money ....some bean counter either kept their job or got a raise
So will the farmer stay with the tires on the x9 with broken track sprocket? I know the track setup like 100k extra! Maybe get a credit of some sort🤷🏻♂️
It really stinks that you have to claim your own work back from TIC-TOC! Also, with your work on the various track machines, does John Deere/Sloan Imp consider a work platform to make your work safer/easier? Just a thought to help make it easier and faster for the repair cycle. Love your videos - keep them coming!
My dad was mechanic for John Deere about 40yrs. He was well liked. I miss him!
Sorry to hear of the copyright theft. Your work is what you are and why we watch.

Alright, Zeth, you're gonna have a heart attack from going up and down that track. You could train a chimp to fetch the tools for you. Or, you could lift yourself up and down with the crane.

👍👍👍 thanks
Buenas tardes, muy buen video!!!
What engine would you get the deere 13.5 or the Cummins? I'm looking at tractors with both. I can't decide what tractor to get.
Maybe the JD guy attaching the drive sprocket in the factory uses the same torque wrench you used a couple times attaching the turbo 😂
at certain size & HP point , PAINT becomes a problem as stuff flexes . we use to remove on many construction equipment wheels and G.E.T. stuff
Cat cutting edges on dozers you have to grind the paint off I’ve only dealt with 10s and 11s but we hytorque both and the painted ones always came loose
That turbo issue, would it act up first time they accelerated after a cold soak? And then not do it again until it cold soaks again? The reason I ask, is certain generations of the Ford 6.7s I work on, would over boost first time, then not again until it sat. We replace the turbo on those for sticking VGT components. Happens most often on trucks that don't get run often.
Love to know how many hrs are on the tractor
Спасибо за искренность , мене понравилось!!!!
So, what percentage of new combines make it through one or two seasons without problems?
So if the engine is at higher rpm, and then there’s more of a load added, does the turbo spool back up?
In this era of lightweight telescopic ladders and Bora centipedes… you’d think someone could invent a way to work over the tracks that was lightweight and easy to set up.
Maybe even a scrap combine steps could be made work.
Could you possibly put a small deck onto the smaller fork lift arms. Move in close to some machines that have tracks so you can work off easier. A wee set of stairs on the deck side. I know how hard it is on the legs and knees trying to work like you are on that machine
Hey Zeth, tell us what you think of the tariffs slapped on John Deere and how will it affect your work or the dealer you work for? Thanks
Dang man youre definently earning every dime you make this fall just be careful its so easy to get hurt in the field when they run you guys that hard
Was this combine under warranty the one with the track?
same actuator & turbo style i had on older P8 / C8.3 in peterbilt . known to have trouble sticking . why Komatsu modified their version to be oil fed and oil/hydraulic operated
Have you ever thought about as you get older and you start having serious joint problems that you could be a teacher or instructor on fixing farm machinery? You would be really good at it.
How do ya know that Banjo Bolt is indexed Correctly?
Having issues with my 8260R. When you set your SCV detent to lower or lift an implement my timer is at 8 seconds after 8 seconds it up it says the scv is off but you can still hear my hydraulic pump running. It keeps blowing O rings on the inside of the block down by the hydraulic pump. In the worst spot imaginable. Can’t keep it from blowing o rings. Ever dealt with this before or heard of this. It’s currently at the shop and they have the hydraulic pump pulled out and can’t find anything wrong.
Need a bracket that slips over frame rail for a place to stand.🧐
Super 😊
Makes you wonder why they don’t use left hand threaded bolts to hold those sprockets on with safety wire
Hey Zeth way can't you use a over head creeper when working on tracks machines.
thats just weird if the yellow paint on the drive sprocket causes the wheel bolts to come lose then why don't they cap the holes before painting them
what is it with the x9 choking up on green yellow stem beans i have seen both the 1000 and 1100 doing this i have seen the videos where they choke up at a snails pace for real
One word: Soucy! There is the source of the failure. Deere partnered with the wrong company for the X9 tracks.
That is usually what a kit has in it
What is the big cable underneath the tractor for?
It's so you don't rip the tractor in half if you get stuck and need a pull while attached to an implement.
Why not left handed thread?
Paint on track chains will guarantee loose plates always so the same with track sprockets I can’t believe that anyone would assemble two metal surfaces with paint between them

The rental specialist!
Tapered split washers don’t come undone!
Maybe get a climbing harness that way you can swing /sit while you are working ; they make it in our size
Companies look for ways to increase their profit margins if they can remove parts they make money ....some bean counter either kept their job or got a raise
Bad day in Black Rock 😮
Yeah I seen the video of you pulling the combine across the road on tic toc. I hope you get that person shut down.
Why do they not use safety wire in heavy machinery? Especially with bolts that you basically need to disassemble the whole machine to get at.
Larson farms in MN there one year old combine with 360 hours had rod go through the engine block
Hi! Can you turn off the adblue DAF xf106 EURO 6? 2021 auto
It is by software shutdown, and not through the emulator
Rev0 ecu
So will the farmer stay with the tires on the x9 with broken track sprocket? I know the track setup like 100k extra! Maybe get a credit of some sort🤷🏻♂️
how much did that turbo cost?
Turn up the contrast on your Track climb counter text. 😊 18:33
It really stinks that you have to claim your own work back from TIC-TOC! Also, with your work on the various track machines, does John Deere/Sloan Imp consider a work platform to make your work safer/easier? Just a thought to help make it easier and faster for the repair cycle. Love your videos - keep them coming!
Great awesome video, like i said everything breaks doesn’t matter what kind , whats your take on john deere moving there assembly plant to mexico 🇲🇽?
Really torque a bolt that has paint under it. Green and yellow does it again.
Not just Deere they ALL do it. Just look around...
@@johnnyholland8765 hello does it matter. The pretty maker guys, having the rule over the engineering. Shit is shit.
