The 2019 corn silage harvest is in full swing for us. Everything was going good until... Kevin went to turn the head on and something snapped.
Now we wait for all the part to arrive which will be a 4 day wait.

Like the blanket across the lap. Reminds me of when I drove a 1958 Jeep East from Colorado in December 1974. No heat in the Jeep. Picked up a hitchhiker, he lasted one hour, said it was to cold for him.🤣🤣🤣

So sorry this happened...I've subscribed to your channel and have watched several of your videos. I never actually worked on a farm except for haying during the summer when I was a kid, but I come from a family of dairy farmers and worked as a farm pickup driver for approximately 29 years. I pray everything works out well for you and you are able to get back out into the fields to finish harvesting your crops :-) God Bless, Jeff :-)

Hey guys just a little tip from a master Machinist if you have bearing failure if you can get the numbers off of the bearing you can save yourself some time and money by avoiding dealerships. Any parts store can cross-reference a bearing number. I just got through completely restoring a 5000 Ford in my area Ford parts or getting hard to find Kubota is taking over so I ordered all my parts online. Just some tips hope it helps
@acresofclayhomestead 4 жыл бұрын
We almost always cross reference numbers, and buy parts online, but this time we ordered thru the dealership because we were hoping they had them on hand and we could pick them up. But, we still had to wait.

Prayers to you guys! I've been where Kevin is in this vid. All you can do is smile and shake your head. Generally it's a $30 bearing that causes $1000 in repairs. I still remember finding a broken tooth in the bottom of the gear case on a JD 4020. I said, "it's just one tooth". By the end of the day I had a $6000 repair bill. Anyhow, tell Kenzie "Hi" from this MacKenzie…;)

Gee good thing your in a cab tractor, looks like it would be cold and raw in an open station tractor. I,m suprised you don,t get any ram air heat from the truck when it,s going down the road. The 1st truck i drove in my trucking career was a 66 Mack DM800 dump truck with a 18 spd quad box 2 shifters. In the winter months hauling gravel i do remember freezing in that truck as the heater only put out cool barely warm air.

I'm surprised that the tractor and harvester didn't get stuck in that mud. The addition of the dramatic music really solidified the gravity of the situation you all were dealt when the harvester broke. I'm going to guess its fixed now?

Hi Guys, Nothing like a catastrophic failure to ruin your day. If there is anything good about this it's that you can fix it. all you can do is look for the Bright side that your not paying someone to come and spend your money doing the repair. I hope everything goes into place easy . Oh is the no heat in the truck a fan issue or line valve or a head gasket leak/bubble in the heater core ? Anyway I hope your coming week is much better . 🇨🇦 Craig.

Heater core is corroded and the blower bearing was setup. My oldest son was working on fabricating a new bearing for it yesterday and he says we should have some heat. :)
