Tractor Time with Tim installs the new step for the John Deere 1025R from Bolt On Hooks. This new step bolts to the loader mount in less than 30 minutes! The 6" drop reduces the first step height to about 14" from 20" making it easier to get into the seat. The step has a large 4-1/2" x 4" non-slip step area and doesn't interfere with other accessories or implements. This is another great product from Ken at Boltonhooks.com!

Two observations: (1) Don 't use a torque wrench to loosen tight bolts. (2) After torqueing the bolts down, you should go back and do them one more time. You might be surprised that more often than not they will actually torque down a little more.

@16B9 5 лет назад

I got my 5" step for my 1026R with the Mauser cab two weeks ago from Ken. Easy install and excellent addition to my tractor. (I wire bushed my bolt threads clean before I put Lock Tight on them)

@rogerhuber3133 3 года назад

There are different types of torque wrenches. SOME....will work in the OFF direction and SOME WON'T. This type is needed to check existing torque which can be important at times. It's common in the aircraft industry. Generally though if it isn't one of those it can damage the internal mechanism. Best practice is to use a breaker bar to remove bolts.

Interesting that Loctite puts blue fluid in a red tube. Seems like they might want to match the tube color to the fluid color so you can easily grab the right one. And conversely, not accidentally install a bolt 'permanently'. Looks like Christy and Katriel will both appreciate that new step.

Tim it is only rated to torque or “click” in the tightening direction. It won’t click in the loosening direction no matter how much torque you apply to it. Unless it is rated to torque in both directions which very few of the common torque wrenches are.

@scottsendra491 5 лет назад

I noticed especially on the center bolt, when using the torque wrench, after you heard the click, you kept on turning the bolt. I usually go slow when I know I am approaching the torque setting, so when you hear the click, you stop immediately. Also, when tightening multiple bolts on the same assembly, I usually set up the torque wrench to 1/4 of the full torque and tighten all bolts, then set to 1/2, then to 3/4, then full torque. This way the entire assembly is seated correctly, and you do not have one bolt at full torque and the others are loose. You might be able to speed it up by goin 1/2 and then full. I also recheck all bolt torque, to make sure that I did not miss any bolts and that they did not loosen.

@Drew6709 5 лет назад

Looks like the step needs to be about 2" lower to make access easier. I don't agree with location. Curious if a step below the floorboard would interfere with the mower deck? Looks like an investigation for "Bolt On Hooks" to do. :)

Lower can interfere with the MMM. There is nothing good under the floorboard to support the step, nothing we were comfortable with anyway.

Hence the problem of all of the bolts coming loose on dealer installed options. This is a HUGE problem on the Deere machines. Setup techs are not doing a thorough job of installing the dealer installed options.

Hence why I left... I don’t like half assing things!

My brand new 3025D was low on oil in the front axle and my brushog was dry and so weren’t the grease fittings

Tim, I bought the step and I'm trying to install it. Using a 1/2 breaker bar and an extender pipe the 3 bolts won't budge! Even using my impact wrench and 120 PSI nothing. I've been soaking them with WD-40 and a penetrating oil but they don't budge. Is it possible some tractors used left hand threads on these bolts? Mine is a 2015 1025R. Any ideas?

3/4” drive socket with pipe extension. Getter dun!

Where can I order that step from and get it shipped to Canada?

Does Deere really spec 223 pound-feet of torque on those bolts? That is an amazingly precise number (and also a prime number). I have three different tools with torque settings and none of them are that precise in that range. 200, 225 or so. Maybe Deere did it in newton-meters, rounded and converted to Yankee! But happy to learn the difference between Red Loctite and Blue!

Do you think we made that up? Yes, it's in the manual.

I was thinking Tim was joking us. Now I know an engineer at Deere is joking us.

Ken, My manual has 230 pound-feet

Hi Tim, enjoy your videos. I also have a 1025R, a 2015 model. I would like to know what you think the RPMs should be set at while using the loader? I set mine at 2250-2300, but I'm not sure this is the best setting. What do set your RPMs at when you are moving material? Thanks, Ed

@TractorTimewithTim 5 лет назад

That is fine, Ed. Don’t worry too much about this. Make sure you have plenty of rpm’s to get it done. These machines are made to run full throttle all day long.

Thank you, love the show!

Does he make one for the 2025 model. I have a 2015 and its a long step for me.
