John Deere 1025R inline fuel filter change with Pinch Clamps

[@StanKappiris]

Changed both filters today. You’re right, patience is required with the in-line filter. Informative video!

Thank you for watching!

Those pinch clamps are a great idea. I'm about to do my 200hr service and ordered a pair.

Thanks for watching!

Great video. Always the right level of detail. Purchased the same comps to assist with the job.

You are welcome!

Thanks for the information. I am closing in on 50 hrs on my 1025R so I am starting to educate myself on the upcoming maintenance. Lots of good information out there.

[@pmtips4482]

Thanks for watching and commenting! The one thing a John Deere owner can count on, is lots of information out there. Don't hesitate to ask any questions, I'll do my best to answer them or find you an answer.

Great video I used a flathead to take the hoses off 5 min job

Excellent VIDEO THANKS- MY 1025R STARTED MISSING TODAY I WONDER WHY I LIVE IN MANITOBA CAN ITS WINTER HERE -19 CHILLY COULD I HAVE A FUIEL PROBLEM

[@pmtips4482]

Oh yeah you sure could! I'm thinking you are plugging in your block heater a few hours before starting? It makes a huge difference here even in 25 to 32 degrees F.

[@danahsutton101]

I will get pinch clamps. I just chaned ky and got fuel down my sleeve. Its better to change this filter when your fuel is low so theres less pressure. If you accidently run out of fuel that would be a perfect time to change this filter

[@pmtips4482]

Yes, the lower the fuel the less pressure you have at the filter, 8 pounds per gallon! Thanks for watching!

[@hogheadrun9139]

I noticed that you have a steering wheel spinner on your tractor. Why did you choose that location on your steering wheel for the spinner? Thanks.

[@pmtips4482]

Hoghead Run, the power steering set up on a 1025R, is the steering wheel shaft runs straight down to a hydraulic motor, then hoses run down to a two-way steering cylinder. There are no gears and no sectors to ever wear out, it's the same power steering setup as on larger tractors. With that setup, the steering wheel will slowly drift position . It will not matter where which spoke you put your spinner knob on. The spinner may be at the very top but after you mow for an hour it may be on the bottom, it may be in the 3 or 9 o'clock position. The next time I mow I'm going to mow for one hour and I'll note the position at start and where it's at in an hour or two of mowing. I'll come back to this comment and I'll give you an idea of how fast or slow the steering wheel drifts. Bear in mind the drift is slow, you'll never know it. It might be best to call it a creep. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Nice video you made it look easy, that is a hard spot to get into. I have the 2025r and I’m looking for maintenance videos on that model but I think the engine is the same just want to figure out if the part #s match up before I order parts. I bought the tractor with 65hr and did my first maintenance and missed that filter under the step . Appreciate your thoughts.

[@pmtips4482]

I'm 99 percent sure it is the same engine. You can check out a John Deere dealer parts counter on those part numbers. I do that every now and then just to make sure I'm not missing anything. Good luck to you! Thanks for watching and work safe!

[@garyshelor1396]

i might switch to worm clamps

[@mybluestar-v8r]

Put a shut-off valve on the line before the filter.

[@pmtips4482]

I like that idea! I'll check to make sure there's room. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@MsKala88]

I have a 1023E compact tractor. I don't see the one filter underneath. I wonder if there is a difference. **Neverending. The instructions say the inline fuel filter is located under the left foot deck.

[@pmtips4482]

Yes, under the floorboard of left foot area. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisswartzwelder8494]

Is that the same diesel engine that is in the x series tractor?

[@pmtips4482]

I'm pretty sure it is, but Yanmar makes a few smaller 3 cylinder diesels too. Thanks for watching!

[@tuckermcneese239]

Where did you get the clamps from?

[@pmtips4482]

Tucker, I just posted the link to these clamps in the video's description. They are Lisle 22850 and both clamping forces are smooth and rounded and will not damage fuel lines. Thank you for watching!

[@tuckermcneese239]

@@pmtips4482 got it. Thanks!

[@n3lson33]

Just wondering if that inline fuel filter not replaced will you get issue with tractor shutting down

[@pmtips4482]

Hi Nelson, I think the inline filter is good for two years. Over that and I worry about the glue coming apart on the seam. I like the clear filters so I can put a bright light up to them to check them. I'm going to relocate mine in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@n3lson33]

Pm Tips update I replaced the inline fuel filter and my tractor is running like new again! One mistake I made was not having the hose clamp to stop fuel from spilling my John Deere parts guy told me it was not necessary but he was wrong a lot of fuel spilled and I had to rush putting filter back on.

[@pmtips4482]

@@n3lson33 I'm glad to hear that! I'm curious, how many hours/months was on the old filter? It's such a small filter, I think a few gallons of bad fuel could plug it up. Thanks!

[@n3lson33]

Pm Tips I’ve had this tractor for 3 years and have 250 hrs I’m not sure if it was replaced the first 2 service I had with John Deere dealership.

[@pmtips4482]

Ok, thanks for timeframe. I've been changing both fuel filters every year. It might be early spring or late fall, but I get them each year. I'm averaging about 100 hours per year. Thanks for your input! Stay safe!

[@sladeoriginal]

JD lawnmowers use the same filter.

[@pmtips4482]

Thanks!

[@judgeparker4236]

Install a shutoff valve in fuel line. Pinch clamps, like using locking pliers, is hard on fuel lines.

[@pmtips4482]

I agree Judge, a shutoff is the way to go and I'm going to relocate that little inline filter if I can find any room to do so. Those pinch clamps I used here are rounded off to where they should not damage the line if you only go tight enough to stop fuel flow. Thanks for watching and the good idea!

[@judgeparker4236]

@@pmtips4482 I have a larger tractor, but from what I hear, they don't put a shut off on open station. I "had it" the first time I changed the big fuel filter. Don't have the inline, but when you bust the filter loose to change, mine would dump fuel until the tank emptied without the valve. They have cheap plastic, but I bought a brass and all metal one. About 7 bucks, but only have to do it once. Hide it and keep it turned off. Makes it less likely that someone will steal your tractor. Just cut the hose, install and use band clamps to secure. Works great.

[@judgeparker4236]

@@pmtips4482 WPS is the brand I went with. Very well made. About 16 bucks on ebay. But will last a lifetime.

[@FastEddy396]

Any idea for a part number on shutoff valves?

[@hogheadrun9139]

Where did you get the pinch clamps? Great video. Thank you.

[@pmtips4482]

Hi Hoghead Run! The clamps were bought on Amazon. Be sure and look around even on their website because I checked them out a couple weeks ago and some identical clamps are selling for twice the money, just under a different name. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@OgleBilly]

I really like those clamps! Where did you get them?

[@pmtips4482]

Hi Billy, and thanks for watching! The clamps are Lisle 22850 Hose Pincher, very low cost and handy method for stopping fuel flow.

Just ordered a set pal!! They seem like they sure would work better than the vise grips I usually use! Thank you again!

Get Kelly clamps. I have to filter my fuel to screen out water.

Those are awesome too! Thanks!
