Just for future reference there's a drain plug on the back above the drawbar and one at the bottom of the steering gearbox, that will get more of that nasty oil out. Cleaning them filters will make the pump much happier. It probably wouldn't hurt to use it a bit and change the oil again
Hi Andrew. I have a 1969 JD 400 tractor/backhoe, my problem is all the hydraulic fluid has gone in to the diff not back to the pump can you help me please. Anybody who may have had this problem any advice would be gratefully received.
Es un buen video. Si, es de hace 7 años, pero a alguien le pueden servir los comentarios. Con todo el respeto que mereces quisiera hacer un aporte sobre 2 puntos importantes que se saltearon en este trabajo. 1- vaciar el deposito auxiliar que está delante del radiador. Si el tractor tiene doble embrague es muy sencillo. Se pisa el pedal a fondo con el motor en marcha y se sube y baja los brazos del levante varias veces hasta que comienza a fallar, luego, sin soltar el embrague se para el motor y se bajan los brazos por completo. 2- el nivel de aceite se mide con el motor en marcha. Estando en marcha mínima y con los brazos de levante abajo, se apoya el tapón sobre la rosca y se mide. Un gran saludo a todos.
Thanks for the video. I was able to do mine after watching all this. I'll tell you... you sure got lucky first off on the screen filter removal. Mine had so much metal in it I had to twist it into a mangled mess just to basically tear it out. AND..the filter pan rubber gasket fell out on mine. They make the gasket too big to place on the pan and reinstall. You have to grease it up and stuff it into the tractor side and hope it stays and hope you have good aim while tightening the pan back on. Mine would not match up and after about 6 hours of repeated attempts, slicing a new gasket in half with the pan, and watching new fluid blow out each time, I was on my last thread of sanity when I finally got it to sit right on a another new gasket. It's a terrible terrible design under there.
Changed my hydraulic filter today. The gasket even on other manufacturers is slightly oversized. I didn't try vaseline to the tractor then putting pan on, i vaselined to the pan then twisted up slowly. Used a screwdriver to keep fitting the gasket back in. Blew through 5 gals with a nice mess real quick after reinstall and firing up.
your 'unbolt things and see what happens" approach not withstanding.....I learned a few things, especially the dipstick location which i always thought was a foot mount Hi-beam switch like the old fords had LOL! thx
Just bought a JD 830 Three cyl diesel looks a lot like yours , funny thing is we were changing the hydraulic filter late today and got to finish it tomorrow because that floppy 0 seal got squeezed out to the side and leaked . I’m gonna look at my manual and see if there is a filter up front on the pump
I have a 66 JD 2020. This is a lot of help thanks. Do you have an easy way to push against the spring and tighten the bolt for the filter and keep that gasket on correctly"? Any ideas?
Since you're watching the comments, I'll ask the question. I have a JD 1020 and sometimes the hydraulics act a bit funky. Like the bucket won't react when operated. It's 15 below here in Iowa today so I'm checking the hydraulic fluid tomorrow, but I'm wondering if low fluid can make it not reactive, or is it more likely to be a filter problem.
Low fluid will also act sluggish. I would check your fluid level. When mine progressively got worse it was the screen in the frame. Think it’s in this video. Mine was 90% plug. After the change she worked great. If you haven’t changed your fluid or bought the tractor and haven’t changed the fluid I would. Fluid is always way cheaper than changing parts. Doing it yourself is way cheaper than paying labor especially at John Deere. Good god
@@WorldsOkayestFarmer Amen to that! I bought it this summer and there's so much to get hip to. I had it gone through by a guy and spent 2600.00. I said I didn't want any problems when I brought it home. It ran great since Spring. Now that it's cold, problems arise. I even had to call JD out to get it started one day. Since then, I drained all ethanol and put in 91 octane, a couple bottles of heat and a bottle of seafoam. I then bled that through so the carb had the good stuff. Wahlah it started and ran well. But the hydraulics were a bit funky. Cold? Low? We'll see. If things need more attention, I'll do what you did in the video. Thanks so much!
@@nmjazz09 seafoam is the best product ever. I would be willing to bet your screen is partially plugged. To clean it you will have to drain the fluid. It plugs up with debris from the brakes that are internal.
Im not sure what you are asking but the rock arms are all the way down when checking fluid level and servicing. If they were up they would draw fluid and you could over service
Wessel Geerts I’m not sure how it works I would have to look at it. I work on aircraft for a living so I just fix the tractors as a problem comes up. I do have a maintenance manual for it though.
Jack Thompson thats a hydraulic quick disconnect that runs the loader on my tractor. Not sure if pressure or return its been a while. But i have a video taking off the loader.
I also have a JD 1020, I think it's a 1966 model. I would be interested in any tips you could offer concerning maintenance. I don't know a lot about it and I learned a lot from this video. I didn't even know how to check the Hyd. Fluid level! Are the 1020's pretty similar to the 2010s? I mean concerning Hyd. Fluid type, filters, etc.? Thanks for any advice. Also, thanks to you World's Okayest Farmer. I appreciate you being up at 3AM and helping us all out. That's pretty "Okay"! :-)
Ken Blackwood thank you! I have a few videos on this tractor. I am not sure on your other tractor without looking at it. That screen in the frame can cause major hyd issues if not cleaned

JUST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, PLEASE DON'T START ANY VEHICLE UNLESS YOU'RE IN THE PROPER POSITION TO INITIATE THE STARTING SEQUENCE . DO NOT LET ANY OF YOUR LOVED ONES COME , AND FIND YOU CRUSHED BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT . BEFORE YOU GOT TO GENEVA N.Y. WITH YOUR NEW TO YOU TRACTOR . YOU DROVE RIGHT BY A FARM THAT THE FARMER WAS KILLED BY THE CABBAGE HARVESTER STARTING FROM THE GROUND . IT WENT OUT THE BACK WALL AND PARTIALLY ACROSS THE FIELD . YOU KNOW WHY AGRICULTURE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS JOB IN AMERICA . ONE WORD ( " COMPLACENCY " ) YOU ARE A GROWN ASS MAN , YOU KNOW HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE AND SAFE . ALWAYS , ( " DO THE JOB BIG OR SMALL DO IT RIGHT , OR NOT AT ALL " ) , PERIOD , YOUNGBLOOD !!!!! NO JOKE , YOU GOT AWAY WITH IT , NOW DON'T CHANCE IT ANYMORE..
Bryan Covert yeah you bring up a good point! I’m pretty safe in my mind about always taking the tractor out of gear and applying the parking break in this case tractor has a park position on the gear shift but it only takes once! Thanks for looking out!
@@WorldsOkayestFarmer I just have to say that I appreciate your humble attitude! The point was both well-made and well-taken! We can all learn something new, and we all need to be reminded of things sometime. I know I do. I just appreciated your response to Bryan Covert's comment. I wish we could have more exchanges like this on social media!
