Andrew Almost Lost a set of rear wheels merging hay

well this is what we're doing first thing this morning we're putting this rear end back together uh and the 900 just got this back here uh late yesterday afternoon if you recall we had a uh bearing goal or something in the other one and it chewed up things pretty well but it didn't it hadn't it hadn't destroyed it completely yet ended up getting this from frye this was like four grand or something like that 4 100 bucks it's a reman i don't know where they get it from i don't know if it's a weller or what we're gonna slap this in there and then we're gonna get it rolled back into the truck we've got to replace the end wheel bearings there and uh because they're gonna be probably full of filings but i'm gonna go ahead and roll this in [Music] all right we just got to pull our bolts put our bolts in and um then we'll roll it in underneath the truck and once it's in the truck then we can pull the drums off pull the bearings out and uh replace those as we're bolting the rest of it back together here well we've got our setting into place and we ended up using the pallet that that differential came on and we're able to guide it in there i can't remember how we did it last time i think we pulled the mud flaps off left the tires on there caged the brakes and just kind of rolled it back into place and then we lifted it with a chain when they took it out they dropped it down with a chain and put the chain in behind the frame and dragged it out that way so we've got a couple of the bolts in so far we've just got a line the rest of it back up and that we can just slowly start bolting it all back together here and we gotta put the drive shaft in hook up there brake lines pull these end wheels here replace those bearings hook up the analog brake wires shocks torque arm bolts um about an hour so worth of work left to getting it bolted in and another hour or so of pulling freaking bearings out and replacing those and we're gonna put the flotation tires on this as well so that's gonna take yeah a little while too so he's just putting some anti-seize onto some of these 5 8 bolts that went through the arm at the bottom there we had one that we couldn't get out the other day it had been like it was in there for 20 years and it was only in there for about 12 months so we'll keep putting her together here well as you can see jared's got the 900 on he also has the flotation tires on we ended up putting the four sets of flotation tires that we had all on silage trucks just because the conditions are so soft and moist and whatever so we figured that we might as well have them on everything so we can get this hay knocked out in a hurry here we have a merger that we've got to work on here in a little while and we also have the uh 8120 sitting in the field across the road here i can't quite see it but it is in that field over there and that has a axle hub the wedge hub that goes into the drive wheel has spun off the keyway so we've got to put a a new one of them on and get these guys merging here so we're gonna load up a couple more trucks and then we're gonna work on them two machines well we're into the following day here now working on this 8120 andrew was merging hay with it yesterday and he said he couldn't climb the hills all that well and he thought there was something wrong in the differential and we found out this side here on the axle hub itself has spun the key way off that the keyway sets in this groove on the axle so this is an 8120 about 160 or 70 horse and these snap-on duals are really not met for anything that's over 150 horsepower this has to have snap-ons on there because the the duals aren't long enough to put a hub on it in order to mount a dual wheel now this tractor here we ended up breaking an axle on the left side we ended up putting a longer axle in it and um we can put a snap on on that side however this side you cannot so we need to get the dual off of there we're going to jack it up and then we're going to have to take that hub take the bolts out of that and then get that hub out of there and hopefully it didn't chew up the axle too bad if it did chew it up we're just gonna have to move over on the axle to find a good spot and then if we have to replace the axle put a longer one in it now uh as far as the horsepower uh requirements and limits and whatever we have spun this a couple of times and when that happens these hooks break and that's why they say as far as horsepower you shouldn't run too much more than 150 on these snap-ons and now what we're finding is it is too much torque on that four-inch long key that runs on that part of the axle so probably the hardest part of this job is going to be getting this dual off we've had trouble in the past with it stuck into the rim too hard and um it just creates a real problem so what we're going to have to do is uh get it jacked up we might have to hook a chain on it and pull it off but we'll know here as we get working on it as to what kind of problems it's gonna create we've got the merger setting on its jack stand so that we haven't got to jack up any more weight that we need to this ground is soft we'd like to be working on a gravel driveway but i just don't want to drive it any further than we have to here so we better get after it all right we're able to get the wedges out of the wheel the top wedge that has the little wheel in it that adjusts your axle back and forth it spun that wheel off because what it had done is it broke the key that is in uh half of the hub that's on the other side here we've got a couple of new wedges here we'll show you what this one is supposed to look like and there is uh the key right there so it spun that off that's only like four or five inches long and there's really not much for it to drive on so what we'll have to do is get this clocked we just got to turn this about 90 degrees not quite 60 degrees or so get the new wedges in there we got to get you going again you and your brother have trouble with rear ends here this is from misuse isn't it wow all right we're gonna go ahead and throw the new wedges into this all right we've got the new wedges in there and we were lucky it did not damage the axle at all these guys were on their toes by getting it stopped and trying to figure out what was causing the issue uh had they been running and if they were running in four wheel drive they would have never noticed that it had a problem and it would have probably ruined the axle so she runs again we're going to be riding in a while right so we're just putting these um oh these bolts kick the hub out when you go to adjust the wheel they're really not necessary to put in now you can just carry them around within put them in later on but we'll put them back in you'll have to keep an eye on this wheel we'll give you the impact tighten it up every hour or so all right now we got to muscle this uh duel we've got three men we've got four men and one boy i think we're gonna be able to lift this duel up huh i'm just gonna stand in video okay all right we've got this all back together these guys got to go back to margin we had to use that tractor to hold that one uh hold this one so it wouldn't fall off the jack we had a little bit of problem with that we're on a little bit of a hill here ah we lucked out though we we had the jack sink into the ground but it wasn't too bad we had to chain that so that we could kind of spin that axle to get it clocked so these guys are gonna get started here and uh hopefully that stays together so now we can start in chopping well the boys are moving right along merging just about got jared full here and then alex is on deck so so so um well we're into the following day here now and so far that wheel has stayed tight that hub is not loosened up at all which is a good thing because we do not need that to loosen up and have the wheel move on us at all because that just creates a problem so we're going to keep at it here we've got a few days of chopping here left and then we are going to move into combine and wheat so i want to thank you for watching and we will catch you at the next video
