Got a service call on a John Deere 9460R that the customer says when he puts it into gear it will not move and it will kill the engine. In this video, I will perform diagnostics on this tractor and repair it to get it moving again. This one is quite interesting and had me puzzled.

    Some days I miss turning wrenches and then my back and my knees remind me that I don't. Your videos bring me back to what I loved about some of my previous jobs; the troubleshooting, methodical dissection and reassembly during the repair and the satisfaction of bringing something back to life. You're doing a great job and I thank you for that!
  • #1, anyone who puts around $500k in a machine should know to check fluid levels at least weekly. #2, JD diagnostics seem to be very vague in actually diagnosing the problem. #3, the engineers who design equipment don't operate nor maintain what they design, let alone do service on their product. If they did have to turn the wrenches, I bet they would do a better job. Manufacturer shouldn't hire anyone who isn't willing to work on what they design. You Service Tech's have your work cut out for you. Great video!

    I’m a warranty manager for a car manufacturer and I appreciate how you always talk about learning, simple best practices and following directions. Something we work hard at every day with all our tech’s.
  • Number One ! Know your System !! Eliminate possible variables ! Test ! Replace selected item ... re Test ... then field test ... great diagnosis ZK ...
  • You are 100% correct Zeth, that as a tech I found that everyday was a learning day, but also outside of work, I also treated my whole life the same way that you never stop learning about life! Amazing how many people don't think that way. Thanks for a great video.
  • "Take that 9460R" I could sense your frustration in dealing with the machine, but you kept your cool on camera, persevered, and got the machine back to operating status. Great Tech skills, I salute you Sir. 😃
  • Hi Zeth! …. Really enjoying your videos ! And I really hope the top brass at Sloan AND Deere know how well you a represent the companies with your skill and attitude 👏🏻👍🏻 big the green iron moving big man 🦾

    Seth I have been with Deere for 23 years I am as you a master tech and also a field tech, I have seen this two times on 9560RT’s , it is an internal transmission problem. The two I had had were both tractors at around 250 hours, we had to get them into the shop, at that point DTAC had me installing DR’s in all of the transmission ports running tests, tests and more tests. Turned out because these tractors were so new with so little hours they had use remove the transmissions, they sent us new transmissions, and wanted the failed ones shipped back immediately. Now here’s the thing Deere never told us what had failed in the two transmissions..
  • On our 7810, the speed sensor went off. Which made parking jump in when driving. You were glued to the windshield.😂 The error came and went, but after some troubleshooting we found the cause. Spent half a day in the workshop then out and driving again.😜👌
  • love the snapon light..havent seen that sort here in New Zealand
