We kick off Harvest ’25 Service Calls Episode 11 with a 9RX 640 that’s only got the front tracks pulling and a code for extremely low axle lube pressure. A quick look underneath confirms the worst — the pinion bearing is out, and this machine needs hauled in ASAP before it grenades the rear axle even worse. Back at the shop, we jump into a big list of repairs on the S780 combine, including: • Replacing the rotor bearing • Swapping chopper bearings • Installing a new fountain auger • Replacing the unloading augers Then it’s time for a road trip south to help out a fan of the channel with an S690 combine. The vertical auger splines sheared clean off, causing the vertical and horizontal augers to collide and snap the shear bolt. It turns into a race against the clock to replace the vertical auger, the 90-degree gearcase, and the entire unloading system in one day… then get back on the road for the long drive home. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro 00:00:45 – 9RX 640 Rear Axle Problem 00:05:12 – S780 Rotor Bearing 00:06:43 – Milwaukee M12 Stubby 1/2" Drive Impact 00:19:06 – S780 Chopper Bearings 00:34:11 – S780 Fountain Auger 00:39:19 – Road Trip to Help Out a Fan (S690 Auger Failure) 00:46:44 – Finish Up S780 Fountain Auger 00:48:34 – S780 Unloading Augers Want to see the best of ZK MasterTech?
