Warren, I’ve been following your videos for about a year now and let me tell you that you are definitely teaching a young guy in the business a lot thank you for going out of your way to record these type of repairs.

That jd is in great shape for a 20+year old machine.hats off to the owner and operators for taking care of it.

Your customers really are the lucky ones. You're very very good with all brands and projects. There's no way any dealer would go as "above and beyond" as you do. Great video, and I'm really happy you're continuing to make them!

Sure bet your glad you rechecked before splitting the tractor! Thank you for sharing mate!

Excellant video. Audio was perfect - diagnosis procedure was "spot on". You got-er torn down without much trouble - I understood everything you said. 👍

thanks warren 👍video as always . thanks for the sunday live also good to catch up on the peterbilt

Nice troubleshooting logic, took you right to the broken shaft. That's awesome.

Great job buddy on figuring out what was wrong I think you are right about spinning and the front caught traction and POW broke it

Great job Warren. I love how you use reason and knowledge to diagnose the problem even it it is not what you thought 10 minutes ago.

Nice find. Love the videos. There is nothing more satisfying as a mechanic as finding the problem.

Well that was satisfying! It's a great day when a job gets easier and easier.

Thanks for sharing the daily grind. Keep up the great work bud 👍 . Abuse he says but abuse is what keeps Warren busy.

Abuse or like you were saying "spinning out of a hole and caught on solid ground or pavement. Hard to say for sure. Great video Warren!!!!

Love your Videos and work ethic. I organized my truck last week because I see how well set up yours is.

Wow what a chunk of still to twist off. Amazing the power on those things. Great video as always.

I am a retired mechanic from Haggisland, and watch your videos....you are a very clever guy i have gotta say...love your down to earth commentary....keep it going, it reminds of all the shit i had to go through, on busses artics and allsorts in all weathers.

Warren, your diagnostic abilities are incredible! This is why I think your videos are great! Would be interesting to see you and JayPaydirt try to figure out his new Peterbilt and why it has low oil pressure? It was a California reject due to emissions non-compliance.

Hey Warren, I know you get discouraged from time to time with some of the commentors but please don't give up. I love your stuff and this was a great video.

Man it's good you checked before splitting the tractor 🚜 this is a way different problem then you thought. Great investigation 😁 Greets from Jur

"Get off there like I said." There is more power in our words than we realize. Good vid.

It's a good job that you stopped to have a think .👍 it saved you a lot of less work to do 👍👍👍👍

One of the best sites on youtube informative good banter and funny keep safe Warren all the best from the UK

A great video. Great step by step analysis. Thanks Warren.

Great video Warren Weiner dogs look alittle sad today lol. " When you eliminate all the other possibilities, only the truth (or in this case the real problem) remains". Thanks for the video!

Thanks for taking us along Warren!!

Warren, Good call on Not mixing Antifreeze. Tends to turn acidic and Gel up plugging coolant passages and wrecking havoc on the cooling system and water pump seals

Good Disclaimer in the end haha love your vids! Keep em coming

I like were they put the four wheel drive switch in the back Conner forget about it hit the pavement snap a axle

My goodness, that thing looks immaculate for its age.

My favorite part of this channel, TROUBLESHOOTING!!! Nobody would EVER accuse Warren of firing the "parts cannon" at a problem!

Saw this a few times (on 580 backhoes) when I was a Case tech, people would leave the transfer case engaged on pavement and turning the steering to the lock, it would take a while to happen but rental equipment will always find those people that can ruin a ball bearing with a rubber hammer. As just an observation, I was looking around your shop during various frames when it dawned on me just how much you have invested in your operation, your trucks, tools and support equipment dollar wise is a bit staggering, all mechanics of course share an investment in themselves but I just was overwhelmed by just how much you have invested, let alone your seeming endless energy and ambition to do the job right.

Awesome video. Thanks for posting.

Seen that happen (45 years ago), with a Michigan shovel sliding down a hill, the four wheels had almost no grip and slipping/sliding. At the bottom of the hill, there was gravel. So the front wheels had suddenly full grip and a big bang in the right front hub was the result. The shaft was twisted and snapped like a match. Like your channel by the way.

Like you said might want to check that it is modulating or the accumulator is working. Thanks.for the video bud!! Shop is looking pretty full!

If the operator doesn't own the machine, he doesn't really care about it ... sad, but that's just the truth. You really shouldn't be driving on paved roads with the MFWD switched on, not to mention, dumping the clutch on such surfaces. It's hell on the driveline. Awesome video, I learned something new !

That stub shaft being twisted that bad would in my book warrant an inspection of the other side it could have been stressed as well.. great job Warren..

The man the myth the legend and the broken tractor keep on wrenchin 👍🛠

That Operator knew exactly what happen with that axle snapped! He Just didn't want to tell anyone!!! lol🤔🤣

Whoever owns that tractor takes really good care of it. That’s a slick 8200. Especially for its age, and I can’t believe I’m saying that because it wasn’t that long ago seems like that I owned an 8400. But I did trade it off 15 years ago 🤣

The use of the swing press on vulnerable parts is extremely fun and thoroughly unappreciated ECM problems ...swing press you want to remove small defects from the paint or remove paint from your defects ...swing press its a multi tool in one tool

That service truck crane is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Warren, the quad in the back ground is that abuse, lol. Good to see more videos.

Great having that live chat on sunday.

Wheel hop when your pulling something stuck in mud, the tractor on good ground getting some wheel hop with those nice tires with load the shit out of the entire drive line..

Power braking at the truck and tractor show, or weak metals joined in critical places, who knows. You finding the problem is commendable, some people would replace parts before discovering problems.

I've been watching for a while, just sub'd. I appreciate your videos and sharing your process on the repairs. Much respect, Peace.

Looking forward to part 2 of this one for sure.

Worked on bombardier track machines, 110 Nodwells. Every axle that ever broke there was never a load on the machine when it broke.At least the ones i were in when it happened. Never with a load or in muskeg mud etc. Nice flat ground is when it happened. Stress...

Thats a hell of a lot of torque to twist that shaft like a twizzler.

Must been a realy heavy load on that driveshaft to broke it. Maybe some weeknes in the matrial in that shaft. But hit the ground with spinning wheel on this heavy tractor could do this. Have a good day Warren, always nice to look ar your videos.

Excellent troubleshooting per usual!👍🇺🇸💪

Excellent video it may of had happen to it what one of my customers did to his 8400 John Deere tractor they were pushing on a stuck tractor trailer out in the field and when it got the weight of the trailer on the front axle it tore the whole front axle up and broke the king pins also. Make sure that the king pin bearings are good most of the time they are all hammered out especially when it has the big rack of weights up front there too.

Not sure what they were using this on, but when watching the first thing I thought of when it was a hub problem was it was power hopping and hooked up. Been through quite a few muddy harvests of processing tomotoes, and its not an enjoyable thing to do, but it has to be done. If they don't want to fix it, you are more than welcomed to haul that 8000 to my place to get rid of it and I will even pay the trucking. They are great tractors and I prefer red paint.

That took some force to snap that, looks like it broke over a period of time. Dogs are awesome.

Tgank You Warren. I remember watching a little while ago you did a JD steering knuckles. Well. The company I work for, has got 4 JD 6610r. Each knuckle joint has hone so far that the pins are two thirds. And the housing is completely oval. So complete new axles are required. Ouch.....

i was told only use 4wd when needed & never ever on pavement. drove many of these 8200 mostly subsoiling but one on the 7200 gallon triple axle liquid manure tank spreader full load down hill on gravel roads pushed this tractor around like a toy. drive slow or jackknife & the tank spreader has hydraulic breaks plugged into tractor remote it's a must have must use was the only time i did'nt feel safe in a jd8200

Good vid,Hope your well Sir,not to expensive a repair,So scary these days,the price of parts,my lord you have to sell a kidney lol,You manage a sig night off at the range,take care stay safe.GBY,and the family,from the formally known Great Britain.( once). Lol.

much enjoyed...Thanks Warren...

Great work as always Warren 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Jeepers, the way you started I was thinking there was going to be a pop quiz at the end! :)

Well ive spun a drive line a few times but when i was doing it .... rock crawling. Yea .... i abused it. But I did that full well of knowing what was going to happen.

Good diagnostic work there Warren 👍, my experience of broken drive shafts as you have there are overloading front axle, hard working conditions, tyre size mismatch, fatigue material. You’re front axle hasn’t been overloaded as it doesn’t have front linkage, you’d think that the operator could have explained when it happened and what he was doing, obviously they didn’t try the front diff lock either? Well done that man, thanks for the video as always Regards , Luke 🇬🇧🔧

I appreciate you videos helps got John Deere 1040 LP to spilt transmission not working! Hydraulic fluid shoot out through the starter

Great job Warren.👍

That took some beans to twist that shaft off like that, that is a fact. Kinda wonder if he heard it let go, or felt it in the steering...but this is hydraulic steering so probably not. Beats the heck out of having to split the tractor tho!. Seen the right rears back on the old Blue Ford, that has to be a good sign!

I chose my Kubota because that’s whose in the area and closer by. I like my old internationals though

If I remember correctly the final drives and the front diff use hyguard fluid and should be replaced at 1500 hrs. I doubt many people change it.

4 am... im on it ... keep em comin brother.

Awesome job as always thank you for the video

spinning out and hitting a solid spot

Not sure if its the case with that tractor or any over there but in the UK when on the road in 2wd when braking tractor engages 4wd to give you engine braking on all wheels, I have known drive lines to shear due to fact the fronts are normally spinning slightly faster so when the 4wd comes on you get a snatching, quite often when you come to a stop and let off the brakes the front wheels will jump back as the gearbox is wound up. We had a Case mx150 once that sheared the main drive like this and lost all drive. power brakes, hydraulic steering etc on a steep hill towing a low loader with a digger on and a large chalk spreader behind as well, needless to say I think the driver needed new underwear when it finally came to a stop but thankfully didn't cause an accident. Just a thought.

Another awesome video. I'm guessing your were relived not to have to split the big donk in to. At least your standing straight up. I love these findings.

Crackin video Warren..Easy fix i'd say...

That's sum set up 4x4 came along ways sins the 80s man.

These were great tractors

Thanks for the vidya, keep up the warin' Warren

Having found this obvious damage in the hub do you have any concerns about, what to me, appeared to be really glittery oil that you drained from the Front diff? Also what about the condition and oil in the right front wheel?

👍 one hell of a bang either way!

just for kicks. next time in a homedepot pick up a roll of Surface Shields, Model #CS2450, 24 in. x 50 ft. Carpet Protection Self Adhesive Film. this can allow you to wrap parts up to keep them clean.. stick it to seats to keep them clean.. cover open engine and transmissions to keep them clean.. that roll is only 13 bucks. just for a trial.

Keep up the good work.

Out at the airport we see this every winter they get all wheels spinning one grabs and boom happens every time

Hey warren i salute you sir you are incredible simpley the best i dont know how you do it ? And by your self ! These 55 series mechenical 4 w drive and computers technology just coming out when i changed careers ? Amazing to where it went what it takes to fix em i dont kno how you do it 7 days a week not enough time during harvest but you get it done ? You casually say split it in half like no big deal ? Remarkable ! Sad sad day when you hang up your wrenche thank ypu for the education ? I would like to take a ride and visit you if i can find you ??

I've operated that type of John Deere. It would some crazy abuse to do that. Especially on hard ground or as you said pavement.

makes me wonder if the other side should be checked for twisting

All except Kubota, my son and I took a Kubo’s that had water in oil. That is real TRUR!!

Hahahaha talking about splitting this John Deere it's easy he says lol not for me lol this guy's is one of the best and trustworthy mechanics I've ever seen. Where's your 4 legged kids?

Wtf man, does anything ever get you worried or nervous. The way you you just rip into thing amazes me. I need to do a clutch in 680 dtc Long has got me in knots.

The magic touch of Warren!

that mutch spinning is uncalled for

These are the ones I like the most. Trying to figure out what the problem is.

Great video warren 👍

Thanks for sharing , great video Warren

Hey man did you do any schooling to be a heavy equipment mechanic? And do you think it helped you get where you are now? Thank you and awesome content sir👍

the old silver metallic gear oil saga

So narrow makes the tractor very unstable and easy to roll over. We rolled one years back. Maybe widen them to go outside the rows instead.

Actually pretty easy to break that. I've broken that CV joint spinning in the mud. the front grabbed while the back tires were in the mud. Guess you do what you can at the time to not get stuck. I was pulling a truck with a safety pull .

I have seen that before. My theory for how that happens the rear wheels spinning like hell tractors stuck and they engage the MFD if the front wheels have a good bite snap goes the weakest link.

Good that you did not commit to splitting the tractor and then find this trouble.

much love brother ,,,salty army

Warren would it be a good idea to check the stub shaft on the other side? It surely was involved in whatever happened.
