My tractor is the 2520 and similar to your 1025R. Your video was very helpful since the placement of the filter/separator is about in the same location just my filter is wider. Thanks so much !!
Very thorough. Clear description without a lot of BS. I watched yours and TTWT and although I am a fan of Tim, I won't do another maintenance chore without consulting your video as well. I am now a subscriber and fan. Thanks for taking the time to help us DIYers!
Thank you for watching! I am a huge TTWT fan and subscriber too. I really enjoy our little 1025R with Yanmar 3 cylinder diesel. Only three weeks ago I was clearing our driveway of 8 inches of snow with it and the FEL with The Snow Edge on, and today will be dragging downed trees to the burn pile with it (will hit 55 degrees today). Work safe and have a good one!!
Great video.. very clear and informative. I wasn’t sure if the shutoff valve needed to be open or closed for this procedure. It’s opposite of what you think. Open is 90 degree to the fuel line pointing at the O and closed is inline parallel with the C. Thank you
Good video. That particular filter set up is the "el cheapo" John Deere version. John Deere sells a much better replacement for that unit. There are other videos on YT showing the replacement filter. What's wrong with this separator/filter system? 1. Only a single mounting bolt 2. Press fit hose barbs 3. No bowl drain 4. Not enough capacity 5. Water can saturate filter element 6. Prone to leaking in certain applications due to inability to properly tighten. I have a very similar device on my Takeuchi excavator. I am currently replacing it as well as modifying the location for ease of access. My new separator is larger, has threaded hose barbs, easy to use drain valve for regular maintenance, and has two mounting bolts, and no paper filter element. I leave that to the existing screw in fuel filter which is further down the line mounted directly on the engine and changed regularly. So when I am done I will have a large capacity water separator, easier maintenance access, and a perfect compliment to my existing fuel filter.
That's darn good news! Do you know any part numbers for the upgrade? My local JD dealer just lost his dealership with John Deere because he refused to modernize the building. I really can't blame John Deere because the place was looking run down. I'll research that upgrade. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@pmtips4482 I don't have the part number. I have asked two different UA-camrs for the number, but nothing yet. Also, in my case, I bought a generic water separator on eBay (fits Isuzu diesel truck) and modified that. Thanks.
Great video thank you so much for putting this together I am super green at doing this and following your video I was able to take off the fuel filter clean it and get it back on and the tractor starts I'm happy. I have subscribed so I will continue to visit your videos to see what else I can learn thank you so much have a great day.
I use a NAPA gold filter I stead of JD genuine filter. Works just as well and a little cheaper. I live an hour away from my JD/LandPro dealer and I'd have to pay a courier fee of $20.
The problem child is that filter under the foot rest. My engine sputtered at full throttle, and I changed the engine fuel filter first. Still sputtered. Found that elusive second filter, and it was filthy. Changed it ( got covered with fuel as usually ) and the tractor ran like a scared rabbit. I would opine that you have to change the underneath filter at least twice as many times as the bowl filter.
Yes, that little in-line filter has caused many problems on all brands. My Dad has a Kubota ZT diesel and performed all scheduled maintenance. My brother took over the mower on maintenance and mowing, he forgot the little in-line filter that is in a bad place on that Kubota. After about 4 years it was nearly plugged completely. FWIW....reading the owners manual never occurred to them till after it died and would not restart.
@@pmtips4482 I was lucky. The tractor still ran. It just wouldn't produce full power at PTO engine speed. I went back to the owners manual, and found the second filter. Other than the fact that the moron who installed the thing put the one fuel line clamp ears up, it was fairly easy to change. I do need to get those fuel line clamps.
Nice video when you turn the key and the pump starts clicking should it stop when the bowl is full? I noticed after I changed the filter the clicking noise of the fuel pump doesn’t stop clicking even when the bowl is full. Also when I close the valve to change the filter the fuel continues to flow .
That fuel pump is super low pressure and low amp draw, about 3 to 4 psi and .5 to 1.2 amps. It is continuous. It will change sounds as the bowl fills up and/or any change in pressure build up. You may need a new shut off valve. Mine is getting so hard to turn I need pliers, it's way too hard to turn with my thumb and index finger. I just checked it and there is a subtle detent position when you open or close it completely, so be aware of that detent. Good luck and thank you for watching!
@ronwood3214 Ron, I put on two small pinch clamps on each side of the fuel line at the little inline filter under the left floor board. I did a video on using them. They will definitely stop fuel flow to the filter base too. You might try that. Good luck!
Hey the names Jay. Coming over from John at LA video, I saw you commenting on his page. I subscribed to your channel! Please check out mine and subscribe as well! I need to add a fuel/water separator on my BX! They dont come with a separator from the factory so Id like to have it! Even though I have a Kubota this video was still handy to me!
Hi Jay, I apologise for the late reply. This one didn't show up properly on the usual notices I get. The 1025R fuel bowl and filter isn't really a separator but the red disc will float to indicate water but I can't remember to look at it often enough. You've got me interested in researching a true water separator now. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@pmtips4482 No problem! Dont worry about the late response I notice sometimes youtube buries some comments that go unseen for a while! Check out my page and subscribe I am gonna overhaul my Kubota soon and im sure your into that stuff hahah! Talk soon!
Sorry for the delay. On my 1025R, when you turn the key on, the fuel pump comes on. The bowl will fill right up and allow you to bleed air out. Thanks for watching!
Hi dave! I just did a search and can not locate any but searched for 1025R filter housing/globe/bowl. If you visit a dealership, the float rings should show up on their screen in the exploded drawings. Thanks for watching and commenting!
From the tank to the filter bowl, not much. It is supplied by a small 12 volt pump. It acts as a lift pump to the injection pump. From the injection pump to the injectors, it is typical high pressure. Thanks for watching!
The tractor would quit running if the red ring had moved. This is just a 🐂💩 salesman’s gimmick to build value in the product and result in closing the deal.
The 1025R tank is a point down wedge shape so water accumulates in the bottom of the tank. The main fuel filter then doesn't really work. You'll see the engine stumbling and stalling, especially on a hill. The better solution is to screen out water when fueling with a Mr. Funnel Fuel Filter (these come in various sizes). I have moved over the years to their biggest model simply because it's faster.
It’s nice seeing a video without all the distractions like kids, dogs, etc. I’d love to spend a day with this guy. I could learn so much. Thank you.

Bravo! - 1025R Owner in Iowa
Thanks!
I just changed the fuel filter on my Yamaha tractor and was wondered what the red o ring was for. Glad I kept it thanks for the information.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for watching!
I use a Solo-cup, whichever color you’d like, and put it up around the filter housing when removing. I’ve never spilled when doing this. Works greats.
Darn good idea!
Thanks!
Thank you for explaining it. My Yanmar has the same red disc in the sediment bowl.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for explaining the red washer. Its a water indicator.
You're welcome!
Another great video Pm!! Well done! I like that it is self purging. Makes it nice to work on! Have a good one!
Thanks for watching LA!!
You're right on that self bleed pump feature, it saves lots of time on a simple filter change.
Take care!

How do you turn ignition to fill up the fuel in the water bowl once your done?
Sorry for the delay.
On my 1025R, when you turn the key on, the fuel pump comes on. The bowl will fill right up and allow you to bleed air out.

Engine seems a little bit knocking, isn’t it?
No, it's an awesome little engine. You have to get used to the high idle, but other than that, Yanmar is tops!!
Thanks for watching!

Can you buy those floating rings separately ? I can't find them on the internet.

how much pressure in the fuel system of that john deere
From the tank to the filter bowl, not much. It is supplied by a small 12 volt pump.
It acts as a lift pump to the injection pump. From the injection pump to the injectors, it is typical high pressure.
