Follow along as I'm finishing up work on a friends John Deere 1025R Tractor. Changing oil, changing fuel filters, oil filter, and air filters. Replacing a leaky Pioneer fitting on a John Deere 120R loader.
You know you're right. I didn't think it would be that tight, but my heat gun would have made it loads easier. Next time yell louder at the screen so I can hear you 😂 Thanks for watching I appreciate you.
You should of installed a small shut off valve were small filter was and moved the small filter further up on the fule line. Would make changing it easier next time.
You are absolutely right. You'd think Deere would have done that from the factory and located it in a convenient safe place. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate you.
I really hope your John Deere dealer has a better warranty service. I had a hood latch break free from my 1025R (25 hours and 4 months old). I called my Florida dealer to confirm it was covered under warranty. They said yes. Instead of taking the whole tractor in, I removed the hood and went to the dealer. Now the dealer said I voided the warranty for doing service myself. I was pissed. But luckily, I called my old dealer from when I lived in Indiana, and they said send the hood to them and they would cover it. I got a brand-new hood and they even picked up the cost of shipping.
That's one of the biggest reasons people buy green is for great dealer support. Sorry you had to deal with that. On that pioneer fitting on the front loader that went bad at only a year old and 104hrs , I had to fix it myself and pay for the part ($22). I'm personally sticking with TYM. Thank you for watching. I appreciate you.
Let me share an awful JD dealer story. A friend of mine bought a used 60ish hp Deere with a factory cab. Tractor had over 1000 hours on it. Immediately was hard to start. Deere dealer came and hauled it back to their shop. Dealer ended up rebuilding the engine at zero cost to my friend. The tractor had over 1000 hours on it. Most people who bad mouth Deere are simply not willing to pony up the $. BTW, why wasn't the oil changed before 100 hours when the cost of materials is minimal? The tractor was obviously used in dusty conditions .
@@scottnugent4791 I'm not sure. It's not my tractor. My understanding is the dealer did the 50hr stuff. As you can see, the air filter was the only thing in poor condition. Ken has done a great job of keeping the tractor and loader greased. It spends it's life mostly mowing the lawn so of course it's going to need air filter service more often. I'd like to hear more about your friends tractor. That's great that he got that kind of service. Thanks for commenting.
@@BuddyG54 dealer said the tractor was good. Within a few hours of use, it became hard to start. Dealer picked it up and diagnosed the problem . Two cylinders had very low compression. New engine in that size would have taken a few weeks to get. They did a full rebuild at zero cost to my friend. I don't see how p poor dealers stay in business. I live within 30 minutes of 5 Deere dealers and also their major parts distribution center. About 40 minutes from their world headquarters. Interesting place to visit.
Nope I'm not a mechanic. Just a DIY guy, but everything I work on continues to work and if it's broke, I fix it. Been doing it my whole life. Including race cars in NASCAR, Indy Car, CART, IMSA and Trans Am Series. 🏁 Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you.
