Essential Oils: John Deere 1025R Front Axle Oil

Changing the front axle oil is an essential part of the 200 hour tractor maintenance for the John Deere 1025R. This is an easy Do It Yourself project for the compact tractor owner.

[@fester239]

Tim, you make owning a 1025R easy. I save all your maintenance vids on my shop computer and rarely have to look at the manual. Thanks for another excellent tutorial.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Highlander John thanks John!

[@stephenrimmer3244]

I'm in Australia and was looking at a sub compact for my small acreage, "I likes the Green one" !; and your videos sure helped make my mind up. You and your family are an inspiration to enjoy the simple things which I do. I am disabled with Muscular Dystrophy but wont accept a cant do attitude. You have me inspired to movie make along these lines to encourage others to get involved in activities they would not necessarily even try. If nothing else it will be fun with the grandkids. Cheers.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Congratulations! You'll have a good time with your Johnny. I would recommend that you get the non-Deere loader there in Australia. The self-leveling feature works much better on that one than on the Deere kit there.

[@stephenrimmer3244]

Thanks, Tim. I have gone for the none Deere 4 in bucket.

[@rayeddy528]

Tim if this was first differential drain I would not worry a lot about the metal! I would probably run it about 20 hours and stick a small magnet into warm oil as soon as you stop the machine. Great video Tim. Thank you ! Be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!

I attempted to use the coupon code when ordering and received a note that it was not valid. The video is several years old, so it would be fair that it may no longer be valid.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, order from GreenPartStore.com/ttwt Use code ttwt for free shipping.

[@tractortherapy42]

I did this on mine at 50 hrs. I read and re-read my manual and checked online - the way I ended up interpreting service manual was that the manual didn't say not to do it at 50 and it was part of the transmission service section, so when I did my 50 hr, I just did front and back axles. Curious if others interpreted same way. I used solo cups to catch - yep too small :). I used cardboard (saved amazon boxes) under the front end to catch spills. I took some video of my 50 hr, but I didn't film the front axle piece. Been too busy to get it edited up - hopefully will have a few done soon. Hope y'all are doing well - as always great video!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Tractor Therapy yea, 'oops, this bucket is too small!!!' I thought folks would enjoy seeing that.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Tractor Therapy ...and it never hurts to change oil. If in doubt, change it. I wish I had changed my front axle oil at 50 now...having seen the output at 250.

[@tractortherapy42]

Very true advice. I had quite a bit of metal shavings in front axle as well. That axle is so beefy I doubt it does any harm to run a little longer on the change out, though.

[@royhoco5748]

to make the video more informative please show a close up of the oil container or say what kind of oil you are using to refill the axle.. a suggestion - put a trash bag or tarp on the the floor to catch oil spills

[@kchapin7429]

Tim, Thanks to you and all your family for making all the entertaining and informative video's. They have helped me in many areas with my 1025R. From purchases of numerous Heavy Hitch items, Original tractor cab, and bucket skid shoes. Of course always using the TTWT for helpful discounts ( thank you ). I do have a question in regards to annual maintenance in the manual it says to Drain water from fuel tank, not exactly sure how this is done. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

There is sometimes water at the bottom of the sediment bowl. Perhaps that is what they are talking about.

[@Shawn-rq4py]

Tim I have a JD 4120. 43 hp. I have problems with leaking where each wheel bolts to the axle itself. I've tightened it many many times. When it first happened it was under warranty and it was at the JD dealership for a warranty repair and they called me to say it was leaking. Confused I asked could they just tighten the bolts. They did. When I got it home I was working moving dirt and I noticed the front end was acting funny. When i looked one side only had one secure boot holding it on. The others were hanging on by a thread or two each. I literally turned them w my fingers about a turn or two and they came out. There was no oil on the stick and took quit a bit to fill it up. I called JD they said maybe they forgot to tighten the bolts..??? I tightened them, replaced the oil and it kept leaking. I took it back to them , they called and said it was ready. Brought it home and overnight there was a puddle of oil on the shop floor. I refused to take it back to JD because I have lost trust with them. I have to constantly tighten the bolts otherwise the oil will leak out. Whew...long story....do you have any recommendations as to how to tighten the bolts to keep it from leaking? This has gone on since 2012. Seeing your video I thought I'd just ask. Maybe you or a subscriber might know what's going on.

[@ngnmech]

Sounds like you have either a damaged gasket or possibly a nicked or cut O ring. Will need disassembly to repair I am sure.

[@heated38]

have you tried using blue loc-tite on the threads?

[@michaelmactavish1728]

thats like the deere dealers here in pei wich why john deere got them selve in a bad reputation wich my kubota dealer takeing most the deere customers for there service and comes out of the shop nice :) thats why i trust kubota dealers 100% then deeres accully

[@Shawn-rq4py]

heated38 no that hasn't even crossed my mind. I'll certainly give it a try

[@Shawn-rq4py]

Michael Mac Tavish this particular dealer used to be the best in my region. This was years ago before it became Sunsouth. The owners made sure you were happy. But in the years Sunsouth bought it the service went south. I had bought several lawn mowers, a tractor and implements from them before the change. The first piece I bought after the change was a Gator. I could immediately tell during the buying process something was off. Same employees but the order in which things were done were different. There were many people who left that had worked for the previous owners. One was a good friend who was a salesman and he said it was hard to work for the Sunsouth franchise but he didn't go into specifics. He left and went to work for a privately owned dealership about 150 south of here and that's where I bought this tractor and implements. He had the same tractor which I tried at his house so I bought it from him as I had all my other JD machines. They delivered everything for free and even came and picked it up the first warranty work was done. Nothing major just a bit of slack in the joystick. Anyway long story short it's been hard to trust these guys. Since then Ive done all the work on it myself that I could including installing a Power Beyond kit when I added my backhoe. It's rough for me as I'm disabled but I'd rather do it right then chance it with them. Thanks for the input

[@GrampysTractor]

If you know anyone that stayed in a hospital and had a wash pan they brought home and don't need, they work great for oil draining in tight places and they hold a lot of liquid.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Ken Litherland Good idea! I have one but use it for potatoes - I only allow Tim to have the used Cool Whip and Cottage Cheese containers! -Christy

[@kenlitherland6065]

Christy, you should buy him the big bowl of Cool Whip. I'm. Sure he could finish one off only for the oil changes.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Ken Litherland Mmm!

[@ricksaylor5129]

Tim, are you going to check into why you had the metal fragments in your oil. Sounds like a project.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Rick Saylor will probably change it again relatively soon to see if it still shows fragments.

[@rickketchumn4458]

Tim my 2016 with less then 200 hours has started leaking up front left set on the tractor the seal I guess has gone out on that side have you ever changed it are is that something i need to take in the parts is right at. 100 dollars and labor is 675 thanks for all the help you can help me with

[@mrgearheadfromhell]

The most effective way to clean your floor is to get a gallon of mineral spirits, two bags of oil dry and a stiff bristle push broom. Keep the area well ventilated and be careful about sparks or open flames due to the fumes !!!!!! Sprinkle out the mineral spirits over the oil spill areas and scrub with the broom, then cover generously with the oil dry. The chemical will break down to oil allowing the oil dry to soak it up, let it sit for a while, you can stir it with the broom and see it soaking up the chemical and cleaning the floor. Before you know it "Bob's you uncle" and your garage floor is clean as new. The oil dry can be reused several times, I have even spread it out on a old concrete pad and burned the oil out of it and put it back in the can to use again. It does work better in cooler weather and cool concrete, less evaporation and fumes.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+mrgearheadfromhell sounds good.

[@lorrainebradshaw970]

If the front agile is low can I just add some oil without draining? My tractor is a 1023 and I have only 90 hours on it.

[@88dalejr1fan]

[@matthewallen9656]

Are your plugs magnetic? It should help keep metal fragments out of your oil.

Great video. I can't see in the manual where it says to change the front axel fluid at 200 hrs. Probably good to do so but all I can see in my manual is to change it at 600 hrs. Do you have a service manual that says otherwise? Thanks.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Laurie Harding I dunno for sure. I can say that my oil looked horrible. I regret not changing at 50 or 100 hrs.

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

Tractor Time with Tim Sounds good to me. Getting ready to do my fall oil/fluid changes along with fuel filters so the front axle will be on the list. I have 300 hrs on mine. Thanks :-)

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

Tim this weekend I changed my front axle fluid when I replaced the fuel filters and changed engine oil and filter, and greased it. I have 300 plus hrs. On the clock and I must say the axle fluid was very dirty down at the lower drain plugs. It was a very metallic looking fluid. Thanks for the video.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Laurie Harding yes, mine was the same! We really should change this at 100 hours!

[@davidwhittaker9511]

Great video! Question: Not sure if we should keep adding the new oil to the point where the oil comes out of the two bleed screw ports? Will the oil eventually bleed from the screw ports after an hour or so? I am thinking that the vent ports are well below the final oil level. Thanks

[@toddsmith3002]

Tim, What is the depth of your Pallet rack? I have a Two car garage with 7" doors and 8'6 ceilings, and am looking to add a pallet rack to one side to better stack, my Box blade, Tiller, Snow blower, Hopper spreader, Post hole digger. loader bucket, York Rake, Dethatcher (you get the idea. Tractor on one side and implements on the other. Wife's car on the outside any suggestions would be appreciated. or even a video on storage.

+Todd Smith wife's car on the outside?? Bad plan! Anyway, my pallet rack is 46" deep, but most are 42" or 48"

[@toddsmith3002]

The Kidney Stone has her car outside right next to my 2012 F-250 so she cant complain. The John Deere 1025R and implements stay inside out of the weather so they do not rust up. The 1025 in one bay with a block heater for winter and the implements in the other bay. thats why i am looking for a pallet rack or two so I can clear up some floor space.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Todd Smith I bought the pallet racking from a local used pallet rack place. That way, I could get exactly the pieces which fit my application. Less than $500 for all of the pallet rack in my shed

Hey Tim, what are your thoughts on the vented fill plug that everyone is talking about?

[@halbarringer6718]

Hey Tim, does the front axle take the same oil as the trans/hydraulics???? also, would you suggest adding "teflon tape" to the vent plug when you reinstall them???

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, same oil, no to Teflon tape.

[@markfiorella7447]

Hello ! I have a 1023e , should I be changing my front axle fluid at my first 50 hours ? What kind of service should I be doing at my first 50 hours ?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Your manual has all of this information. The recommendations changed in 2018 for 2018 and newer machines. No more 50 hour change for front axle or hydraulic oil/filter.

[@mi2tn]

Wow, 250 hours and changing the front end?! My manual says to do it at 600 hours. So that's when I did it. Didn't see any metal in mine. I'm getting close to 900 hours. Next spring I should be right at 1000 and time to do the oils again except the front end. The 2210 I had for 10 years had 1400+ on it when I traded. Looks like I'm going to beat that with the 1026. Take care.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+mi2tn yea, i think you use your tractor for more than you did the 2210. Being a bit larger, it is probably a bit more useful. I think my book said 200 hrs for front axle changes.

[@mi2tn]

You might be right but I think I put more hours on the 1026 because I'm retired and have more days to use it. :)

[@CC-te5zf]

Observation: After you removed the plug to allow air to escape when filling, it dawned on me that the axle is potentially air tight when it's all closed up. Thus it gives some credibility to the idea of allowing the axle to breath via the vented dipstick that's covered in a different video. It makes senes now that when the axle is in use, it's mechanical and will generate some heat during operation. Without some way for the axle to breath, air will find the weakest point - the seals. I think I'll order the vented dipstick now.
