Don’t wear long sleeves when doing this as you will get fuel on them and the smell cannot be totally washed out. The hose bracket removal is a great idea and a must.. It is not necessary to put the new filter on before removing the old filter as it just gets in the way. Suggest using smaller needle nose vise grips if you have them. I also use a rag between the vice grips and fuel line to avert damaging the fuel line, your call on that. Good video!
Hey Armel - What a great idea - I will definitely try this the next time I do the service (which is coming up - I've got over 300 hours on my 1025r already...) Thanks for tuning in to our channel
In the future, put just a little bit of Never-seize on the barbs of the fuel filter. It comes off sooooooo much easier the next time. Nice video too. =)
@@MrsPetTreatLady no, Never Seize is a little more of a permanent lubricant, where as WD-40 eventually evaporates. But, WD40 is still better than nothing.
You know, they make clamps for fuel lines so you don't have to use visegrips which are likely to damage your fuel line. They cost like $10 for a set of 3 clamps. Also, they make fuel line separator pliers for easily and quickly removing the hose from the old filter...again about $10. Having the right tools for the job keeps you from having to monkey around with visegrips and screw drivers! Having a using hose clamp pliers gets you around having to put a fuel petcock inline as well.
Love the vids! Please do a video on your impressions with the brush crusher when you get around to it. I am looking into that or adding a 3rd function and a hydraulic grapple and would love your insight!
First time changing that fuel filter I got a little bit of a Bath. Even though I did what you did. I don't know who engineered that but I would love to watch them do it. And I was laying in the mud and a stick took it out
My 2019 has a fuel shut off just before the secondary fuel (sight glass) filter. Nothing between the fuel tank and primary filter though (hence the vice grips) Beware though don’t clamp too close to the barb on the hose from the tank. Speaking with experience here - Thank goodness I had some 3/8” fuel line hose laying around. I dumped about a 1/2 gallon of diesel before getting the cut hose changed out😂😂
Hey there - I don’t have a mower deck for my 1025R - There’s quite a few bolts involved to remove the floor of the tractor - I’ve had a lot of comments (below) that suggested some great tips that I will use next time - Thanks for tuning in to our channel 👍
Thanks Mike - This was my first time doing this service and I wasn't totally prepared. Since then, I found some very inexpensive "Hose Clamp Pinch Off Pliers " for around $11.00 on Amazon that I am going to buy. I will need them pretty soon, as I am already over 300 hours on my 1025R... Thanks for tuning in...
Punctures at 92 degrees inside the barn,too. The hose length was only 2-1/2" long from fuel tank to filter inlet or basically barb to barb on my 2019 1025R. Longer fuel hose installed and hose clap pliers on order for next time.
@@Autigers2013 I would be too - I get all my stuff at Green Parts Store online - good pricing - quick shipping - easy return if something isn’t right 👍
John Deere really made a DUMB decision using a hose barb filter on a diesel system. It’s going to need changed. Their decision ensures it will be a miserable experience that is 100 times more difficult than it should be. It’s a diesel filter. It’s a serviceable part. It will need changed occasionally. I have a 670. It didn’t even have a primary filter so I added my own. A Stanadyne fuel manager with a 31865 30-micron fuel water separator.
Exactly - their decision was based entirely on cost of production - they used the cheapest generic filter they could find without once thinking about the ease of maintenance.
