Read articles →This is a full hands-on teardown of a John Deere 8370R IVT transmission by working technicians, not a talking-head overview. It covers pulling the hydro unit, disassembling clutch packs, inspecting friction discs for bluing/warping, and a genuine diagnostic hunt for metal contamination that's traced to a known John Deere shim issue with actual measurements. Best for owners or techs troubleshooting IVT problems or wanting to see internal wear patterns firsthand.
