1025r: Bad Fuel Filter! 360 Hour Maintenance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- The Little Green Tractor has 360 hours and has been sluggish lately with harder starts than normal. Today I change both fuel filters and am very surprised by what I find. I also change the oil and oil filter and provide some tips and tricks.

Like you said Dash, there are several maintenance videos out there. But I can honestly say that I can never get enough of them. Mostly because everyone has a little something different in their approach or technique. Thanks for sharing Sir
Hi Bob! Its interesting to see different ways people do things and also the different tools they use. Thanks for commenting and being a great support to my work!
Great video Dash. Thanks for sharing.
Needle nose pliers and a zip tie…brilliant Dash Glad to see you are doing well man. I did all the 400 hr maintenance on my 2038R this winter, looking forward to seeing what kind of projects you get into this year buddy. Just be safe out there
Haha thanks, Jim! Zip ties always come in handy when I need them. Great to hear you have 400 hrs on your 2038. Im still hoping that will be my next tractor! Thanks for your support Jim, I sure appreciate it.
@@TheLittleGreenTractor I was a bit late at 430 hours but I don’t think the tractor cared lol. It wasn’t easy on the pocketbook tho with all the hydraulic oil and motor oil and filters I was in nearly $300 ouch but for what this thing cost I’ll spend what it takes to keep it good
Always glad to see a new video from you. I especially like the fact that you don't take 5 mins to say something 2 sentences can explain.
would like to see the way you grease the undercarriage zerks next time you perform it. Kudos for another great video
Thanks, Liffy! I try to make them succinct and to the point, so I’m glad you mentioned that. I’m getting better! In one of my upcoming videos you should be able to see how I grease the shafts with the floorboard off. I’m tying that into another video coming up. Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Hi Dash! Nice to see another video from you. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Thanks! We are doing well and I appreciate your kind words. We’re just trying to climb out of winter up here. It seems to want to stay lol. Looking forward to warm weather and a fresh start to a new tractor season 🚜 My best to you and yours as well!
Good job old boy. But look for the hidden grease fitting that no body ever greases i think it's on the drive shaft coming off the flywheel if i rember right.
That one hose is so short I couldn't clamp it well before getting the filter off. Then once I clamped it after the old filter was off I had to unclamp it to put the new one on. Then since I wasn't expecting a problem at only 30 hours and I had work to do I was using a universal filter from an auto parts store. That was both 1/4 or 5/16, so the1/4 inch part was sticking out too far on that short side that it was hitting the tank fitting. So then I had to cut that 1/4 inch hose barb part off on that side. None of it is the end of the world, but it seems unnecessary from JD to put it together like that. Part of me wonders if they did that just to make using a universal filter harder.
Does the 1025r bleeding the system itself or do you have to manually purge the air out…
Bugs in filter I bet, and stuff blows into tank when the fuel tank cap is off for filling. Suggestion, could of put small shut off there where the filter was, then make a loop of new hose around to the filter. Just an idea.
You need to cut off the smaller diameter barb from the ends of the filter back to the larger barb. They are there for smaller diameter hose, and are useless for the size of fuel hose on the tractor. The extra length just gets in the way when you clamp the hose shut (both ends) on the short fuel hose *before* you remove the filter, so you get way less of the spilled fuel mess.
Thanks for the tip! I thought those barbs were awfully long. I could feel how long the barb was on short hose side and realized I didn’t have much room to clamp. I made a mess but I’ll remember that for next time I change it.
When you get a zerk that won't grease, try heating it with a propane torch to soften the hard grease. Usually works.
That’s a great idea, I’ve never tried that. Thanks for the tip! 👍
Nice video Dash. I have a Kubota BX so it was interesting to see how it works on the 1025R. Thanks for taking the time to film it.
Hey Christopher! No problem. I’m glad it was worth the watch! Thanks for commenting and happy tractoring 👍
