I always liked the 50 series deeres, fairly easy tractors to work on it you had some mechanical abilities. I'm going to miss wrenching on tractors, I gave up farming two months ago
Time to build a hydraulic press for installing bearings and seals? I like you edited to the different camera angle/up close shots to show more detail. Congrats on 8100! Those electronic dashes were lucky to last a few years before they had problems, most people never did repair the crazy things. Thank you for taking time to make the video.
Very informative Andy , very good video, I’m sure anyone who hasn’t done that process before , will be very confident to have a go after watching this video, 👍👍👍👍
I helped a guy from church do hay for his horses when i was 18 till 20. He wasnt very mechanically incline and wasn't setup the greatest for repairs but he had a friend that helped him out when his loader was down he borrowed theres a little. The biggest tractor they had at the time was a ford 7700 and that baled hay ground feed with the 540 but if they lost power they hooked the generator up to the 1000 and had an adapter to 540 spline and chopped corn with the 1000. I had wondered how that was possible till i seen them pull one shaft out and install the other. Im used to my JD 520 just being 540. Very interesting seeing the internals in this video
Good repair. Gonna be a little critical though........ Noticed you doing quite a bit of persuading on bearing races and other things using a steel hammer. While we all use what we have on hand a dead blow hammer works a lot better and no risk of chipping hardened bearing races etc..... As far as the electronic gaging I once ran a 1086 IH that had all that crap on it and it hardly ever worked. I like old school mechanical gages. Easy to fix and or replace and they hardly ever fail.
The fifty series we’re good tractors. Grandpa had a MFD power shift was a great tractor. My planting tractor is a 4560 MFD power shift been absolutely a great tractor.
How do you handle parts supply? Do you have parts diagrams, review them to make a list, order from the dealer, and start to work? Or, do you know the dealer well enough/they know you well enough for you to describe the problem and they pick the parts for you to pick up? Maybe you have done this repair before and know exactly what is needed for the entire job.

Thanks Stu
What happen to putting that shaft back in would be nice to see that

Nice work. Andy. Always nice to stop leaks
We just did one a 4240 was cool to see you guys doing one
Yup thanks for watching, 4240 would be the same except for the speed ring.
Your videos are very informative. Thank you.
Nice repair for troctor work. 🛠️🔩🔧⚙️💪🏼👍🏽

Glad to see you protecting your eyes!

Keenan Kelley we farm with mostly 2002 and newer equipment but we have a 4560 mfd I love the old 15 speed powershift
Ya I’ve got a new Mfd and it’s a power shift love it to
Fluid film is awesome stuff!!
Hi Andy, thanks for sharing 👍👍.. more great content from a great channel.
Fantastic video buddy 😉 😉 😉
I may be wrong but it looks like that seal was in backwards.
Andy , I don’t know how you keep up with everything ! You need a couple full time diesel mechanics .
Thanks for this.

A repair like this is pretty simple as far as parts go. I would call and request the gaskets and seals needed.
handy andy getting it done
👍
Andy, when are you going to get your old man in one of these videos?
@11:50 what we're going to do is get a socket...
*pulls out the biggest socket I've ever seen
Should be good for another 100 thousand hours!!!
Hello Andy
His was a 4450
Most people leave them pto shields throwed in the corner.
No live stream shame on you
