Changing a John Deere 5055 Hidden Fuel Strainer (Filter) because our tractor won't work!

Our John Deere 5055 tractor started acting up during second hay cutting this summer while Jessi was using the small square baler. It seems to only act up under a load and using the pto. Trent has changed out the fuel filter, but with no improvement. Join us today as Trent finds another filter and see how it goes.
Thanks for joining us!

To strain the fuel just get some metsl screen and make a cone out of it and put that inside a funnel. Great find, brother! Thanks. It's 10 pm- but I'm gonna go have a look at mine. Need the tractor to get stuff done !

I like the detailed explanations and the great camera work. You folks make a great team!

[@copperbeechfarm]

Thanks for your video. I have a 5045e. Had exactly the same problem. Looked in the owners manual, and mine did not look like that one. After watching your video, i pulled the line and filter. Same problem. Cleaned it about and all good now!!! Thanks.

[@RusticSoDakFarm]

Sorta off the topic, but any reason why your wearing your cowboy hat backwards?

[@RusticSoDakFarm]

LOL because it's Trent.

[@joshuajones5992]

I couldn’t listen to anything he said. Because his hat was on backwards.

[@RusticSoDakFarm]

🤣

[@YogiHollowFarm]

Informative video. Thanks for sharing this. Of course I love it even more because we live in the same state! Lol

[@RusticSoDakFarm]

Thanks! And yes! Even on the same side, the better side I'd say 😉

[@wulfclaw4921]

LOL - " because I have children" I hear ya !

[@TheLanden11]

You do realize your cowboy hat is on backwards, the great video thank you for your help

[@RusticSoDakFarm]

Yes lol 😆 Glad it helped!

[@daleval2182]

If you do again flush a gallon through to clean crap of tank bottom, place a filler screen, good video TY

[@arthurdyas538]

You d man Rustic. I. Was searching KZbin for an answer to a loss of power issue with my JD 5055 tractor and watched your video. That was the problem. Thanks. Btw i went ahead and removed the fuel tank screen and installed an inline secondary filter.

[@RusticSoDakFarm]

That's great man! Glad it helped out.

[@josephsmith6415]

Neg, your hat is backwards. 😂

[@user-jy6qn6zm8f]

Nice video...my john deere tractor will not start...5203 series...got any more subjections?...

[@billypirtle1443]

It's getting in there from your storage tank or jugs where you get your fuel from.

[@hindflight]

Well, looks like I need to repeat this procedure again. Anyone figure out a way to clean out the bottom of the tank? I saw he flushed through a gallon but still got to be a lot of gunk still in there..

[@keithdollahite7367]

Leave that little filter out of it. Let your main filter catch it and drain it when needed.

[@hindflight]

got a 5055d and this same problem. Hopefully this little trick will fix it but not happy gotta dump out all that diesel! Its about half full.

[@RusticSoDakFarm]

Right?!

[@hindflight]

[@RusticSoDakFarm]
