The depth of knowledge you have on many different machines is impressive!

I learned quite a lot. Thank you for your time and ability to explain. Nice video.

This inspection reminded me of the minor and major inspection we did on aircraft based on days or flight hours. Good job.

Thanks for sharing Zeth. Keep up the great content Come on guys this guy needs a done more subscriber's, his content is excellent and his knowledge is priceless.

Start this Monday as an apprentice at one of the TriGreen dealerships in Alabama. Your videos are very informative and much appreciated to this new rookie!! I will continue to watch all the content!! Blessings!!

Wish all techs at john deere would be like you.

I'd like to watch each of your videos especially this one multiple times.

Excellent walk through of the inspection on the S-Series Zeth. Got to say things have changed a lot. Last time I worked on a combine was 1979 and old Clayton 135 (Pre New Holland Days) with a massive 10' header lol.

Definitely a very helpful video. Glad I found your videos. We are getting an s680 and we are inspecting it our selves so any learning material I can find is helping me. Thank you

Another great video. I'll never need to inspect anything agricultural, but that doesn't stop me being curious.

This is second time im watching this... Thanks for the information that you show since Im a non farmer!!

That was great tutorial I learned a lot thank you for doing what you do

Take note the upper cleaning fan sheaves as the outer slides in and out the 3 drive lugs usually batter the holes out of the inner sheave , then what happens is the speed will slow down ok but not increase due to the steps created in the inner sheave. I am also seeing a lot of upper rear tail boards that bolt to the chaffer frame that hold the loss sensors starting to crack and fall off. Great work keep the vids coming.

True master of his craft

Thank you very much for these valuable information

Thanks so much Col for putting that together It’s really super cool Happy New Year

Very thorough how to, thanks for sharing

Excellent. Just updating. Steve. Otago, New Zealand wheat farmer. Thankyou Zeth.

Amazing , you’re amazing! Best wish for you, farmer from Canada

I like this guy; great info!!!

💯🏋️EXCELLENT🏋️💯 Beautiful JOB 👈👏👏👏👏

Well done

Very good video Zeth! Woodpecker lips 😂😂 First time I head that! Very informative video 👍 Keep the videos coming, super interesting!

This is just great, you doing videos like this. Guys at your shop can tell you what to look for but their method isn’t always right. Skip over shit or assume things. The whole point of inspections is to find and fix things before they do more damage. If your not looking and miss something, you just cost the customer more money fixing it out in the field when it was just in the shop. Appreciate you making this video.

I just recently started about 5 months ago as an apprentice Ag tech at a John Deere dealer. We have a combine doctor at the dealership. He knows them inside and out. They give us 16hrs to do a full inspection. He pulls the sieves and Chaffer to check the frame and he pulls concaves as well. Very awesome video though!

Nice video! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I’ve got a 2011 9670 to look over. This is a great value to me! Farmer from NE Nebraska

Great video,very educational and interesting. i am amazed at how complex a combine is,it seems like there many machines in one.You are a very good mechanic,very good observational skills i learned a lot about farm machinery watching your videos.

i think the farmer iss better of if he buys a brand new one. Great video like always very informative

Love your style and how thorough you are. Can you do an inspection on a 735 f hyderaflex draper.

Wow, I Didn't know that a Combine 🚜 Has that many of moving Parts

So beautiful video very very nice beautiful

Fond memories of grandpa working the grease gun all over the combine...too many grease points. LOL You forgot to check the center differential bobbing pin.

Never seen the shoe auger bull head crack like that definitely something to look out for. Things I’ve seen are the primary countershaft gear case bushings worn. Main engine gear case mounting brackets cracked out. And on class 8 and 9 machines the front engine bracket cracked.

очень поучительное видео продолжай в том же духе

Great video! I sure hope you are on the upper end of the pay scale. And I sure enjoyed the wood pecker lips comment

I hate to point it out, but right at the start of the video where ZK says the combine has no problems, it's dripping fluid from under the front ! Ha! Ha! ! Love the videos, ZK Good work . Glen In England

Your videos have all been awesome. I have a 2015 S670 with the 5 speed feeder house, there appears to be a leak on the big gearbox right behind the cab, and I can not seem to find where it is coming from. Is there something common that could be leaking?

Thanks for your videos Zeth, they are great. Do you check the top pivot for the auger swing?

I am curious about what major repairs the estimate included and the total cost for those repairs. Also which repairs and services the owner decided to have done and which he declined to have done. Many thanks for a great video!

Zeth, are cracks in the shoe auger bulk heads pretty common in all STS combines? I have a new to me 9670 bullet rotor and I haven't dug into it yet. Again, thanks for the great videos. Anybody with farm equipment and especially green power should be watching. Edit: I laughed at the woodpecker lips comment too. LOL

It's mind-boggling how many belts and chains the engineers fit into a single combine! And somehow it all works together, haha. What would be a typical annual investment for maintenance and parts to keep a combine in good condition? Of course as a rough average, since things naturally wear more in later years than in the first few.

I just bought a new clean grain elevator. Is there supposed to be one intentional large gap between paddles? S550

How hard is it to grease variable speed fan and where is the grease zerk located??

@ZK MasterTech I’m wondering if you’ve ever had a problem with the contour master binding when tilting the header side to side. I’ve checked the pressures ,changed the seals in the ram, I’ve had the head of off the feeder house I can’t find anything. Just curious if you’ve ever come across this problem

Great video! How many separator hours has that combine run? Thanks

Seems like you have to do loads of inspections..I know how important they are but man are they monotonous.. helps to have a good program step by step like you have come up with… I don’t work for JD but another big manufacturer and I see many things in your videos I really like what they do those extra shear pins very nice touch seems like a lot of thought goes into every detail .. accept like all companies they never keep the tech in mind when they put these things together always gotta move 10 things to get to the one you need I see you have this issue often as well

videolarınız çok güzel ve ayrıntılı. sizi bu yuzden takip ediyorum. Sadece jhon deere videolerı çekiyorsunuz. başka makina videolarıda çekebilirsiniz case newholland claass massey ferguson vb.

Pull them concaves out and really look at the z bar, rh side rail, front transition cone.

The springs on the sieve and clean grain sieve what are the springs supposed to be compressed and tightened down to?

How many separator hours on the S670 you filmed Zeth?

I pay $500 for a combine inspection and they spend less than a hour doing it. Would you please come to Montana and do my next inspection for me, and maybe show these amateurs how it’s done.

Where did you get your roll boxes in your truck that slid open and close

Have had alot of upper variable sheave on feederhouse have the lugs worn out inside. Have also found when taking upper apart that the speed adjust piston is leaking internal and filling upper cavity with oil.

Would it be worth trading it off with all this wearing? I know they cost a fortune.

aussie here ,just had a thought . have you ever thought about being a roving mechanic where you go to different places in the world for periods of time where you play a role of "mentor mechanic"/ambassador to bring the rest of the JD mechanics up to speed . we'd love to have you visit aus for a while . i'm sure with your teaching ability you'd really inspire younger mechanics .you'd be JD's secret weapon .whatever deere paid you to do it i believe they'd come out in front just in winning good will. no doubt you'd also pick up a few clues from us as well to broaden your knowledge base . make sure you bring your broad brimmed hat because it can get bloody hot out here ,at harvest time .we'd get you a decent hat like "the bush tucker man" .kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKeppMiSyq69g6s.html i'm sure some big & little aussie farmers with JD's would love to meet you and swap a few ideas and yarns .

Complex machine

HEY ZK you want to come to Nebraska and be our John Deere tech ,

Harder than wood pecker lips 😂
