Hey Tim, just a little cheat to avoid removing the hose clamps and lower rubber tube. I don't know if you can do this with your "custom" made tube with the temperature fitting. The pin for the left lift arm, just behind that and left of the PTO there is a single bolt 11:53 (top of the screen). Remove that instead of the hose clamps. It's just above where you placed the hose clamps once you moved them up the tube, 13:57. Once that bolt is removed, you then use the 6mm allen wrench to remove the bottom. You then pull left as usual, then separate the 90* elbow from the magnet portion. Then pull magnet portion out. With this tip, removing that one bolt, you eliminate wrestling with the hose clamps and trying to push the rubber hose up to remove it from the 90* elbow. It all stays attached and you only separate the tube with the magnet from the 90* elbow. This is a little trick a JD mechanic showed me. They do enough that they know little short cuts like this.

[@CC-te5zf]

I'd seen this done before in another video. My only concern was getting the screen aligned as described in the service manual. Was it easy to get the screen inserted and aligned correctly? Thanks. I'll be helping a friend change his this weekend and I'll give it a try.

[@joebarrett9830]

@@CC-te5zf Yes, it has a shelf type thing it lays on, no place for it to go other than where it needs to be. Just before being all the way in though, insert the magnet tube into the elbow, the o-ring will hold it together as one, then put the rest of the way in and tighten the 6mm nut. Then put the bolt back in next to the PTO shaft. Much easier than dealing with hose clamps and hose.

[@simpletooluse5745]

Have been a mechanic for a few years. On the hose sticking the best thing I have found is to use a 90 degree pick , by sticking it on the inner diameter of the hose and sliding it all the way around the pipe or housing its attached to will usually free it up.

[@PoisonShot20]

If is reachable, I use a thin flat screw driver between hose and tubing .

[@sethreed3863]

Great video and encouragement for viewers Tim. I think it would also be helpful to see maintenance videos for Johnny 2 when the intervals come up. More and more of us, myself included, are owners of the 2r tractors and would benefit from your quality of videos like this one. Showing everything on the lift and explaining in layman's terms makes a big difference compared to reading the manual or forums.

very easy service even though I have been doing this kind of service since 2004 with a 2210 bought new and now with a 2017 1025r bought new that I still have I still go back to ur videos for a refresher. Thank u

[@RedFordMustang71]

Hi TTWT! I bought a used 1025R with 150hrs a few yrs back ... when I hit 200hrs, I watched your old video and did the maintenance all on my own. I will agree with you 100%, it is NOT a difficult job to do.

[@JelenOutDoors]

Using the hoist to lift the tractor sure enhanced the view for you to demonstrate the 200 hour service, great job! Very good idea to do the service earlier. Your right that 1st filter wrench is junk. I was really surprised with the amount of shavings. There are always some trouble spots that engineers don't design for mechanics in mind. GREAT VIDEO, VERYWELL DEMONSTRATED!

[@AnthonyDGreen-me7cw]

Thanks….as always…. Tim and Christy. After watching one of your first hydraulic changes I tried it. Yes, the clamp / hose combo will make a newbie like me have to take a couple of deep breaths. I finally got a pair of needle nose vise grips and locked them on the clamp. That way I was able to work the pry movement better. It worked like a dream. Thanks again for all you guys do. Never stop with the verses at the end. Tony

[@francoislaurin1821]

Tim, use some brake kleener to take off the grime in the aera where you work and use some to cleen the steel filter.

[@randyhill4549]

I did this myself. Can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate this video, Tim. I priced labor only for this procedure today from a JD dealership at $312.00. The advice you give about using Knipex pliers is on-target. The salad tong type filter wrench you recommend is best for the filter. I've had mine for many years and love it. Love you, brother.

[@jamescreek6346]

Tim, thanks for all the valuable information that you have given me over the last couple of years. I have a 2022 1025R and I just did my 200 hour. The oil change was a piece of cake, greazing was kind of difficult at the hidden zurt, and the hydraulic oil went great until I found the plug washer on the bottom of the oil pan after I had already put new oil in. Luckily, it won't be too hard to drain and re-use the oil. Thanks again for all your help.

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

I have adopted the same processes of sliding a magnet in to get any extra filings out, well worth doing. My first fluid change at 50 hours I encountered a large amount of white gasket caulking. And lots of filings.

Another great video Tim! I had not watched your original hydraulic service video and was curious about the screen removal. Looks easy! Thanks!

[@DougAlesUSA]

Well done Tim and Christy. I added the John Deere red die to the fluid so I can see the fluid on the dipstick. This die helps me make my fluid level check easier with my aging eyes. I’m now that guy at a restaurant who pulls out their phone to turn the light on so I can read the menu, and again at the end of the meal so I can see the receipt to add a tip. Just part of getting older.

[@jonesrick1]

Just did my first hydraulic fluid change at 160 hours. Must say I'd been preparing for the moment by watching you and the guy on Tale of Three Cabins, both excellent tutors. So, everything went easier than planned, and from start to finish was about three hours, working at my usual snail's pace. I have one very important recommendation for those of us who can't afford a steel tractor lift: Rhino Ramps. I bought four of these on Amazon for less than $200. They held my 1025r easily and made the job almost a pleasure as far as accessing the filter, plug and screen. Next I'm going to see if they hold my pick-up truck so I can do my oil change there. I'm 79, so I think there are no excuses for not doing the hdf change yourself if you're healthy. Stay safe and keep those videos coming.

[@williamgoodman8790]

Tim, I started watching your channel in 2017 when I was deciding on whether or not to get a backhoe for my second Kubota BX purchase. Short answer, I did. My first BX was purchased in 2002 and it was a great machine and my son has it and it is still going strong. So I’m partial to Kubota’s for subcompacts. I like Deere as well considering I have four of them of various size, shapes and vintage. So I finally subscribed since I have to comment to this video. First off, good video as most are. Second off, the BX is so much simpler to change the hydraulic oil! There is no hose to remove, simply unscrew the large banjo fitting and let it drain. Also, the reinforced frame for the backhoe does not affect ground clearance, so there is no issue there. Can easily access all points with the tractor sitting directly on the floor. And I’m knocking on the door of 66 years! Anyway, keep up the good work but give Kubota credit when credit is due! Bill

Those strap filter wrenches work and work well as long as you don't get the cheap rubber straps. There is a strap wrench that had cords in it similar to a serpentine belt that does not really stretch and it works very well

[@lynnshomestead7545Johnlynn]

Hey Tim my go to filter wrench are sockets they come in 4 sizes and is easy to use whether you use an Cresent wrench or a 3/8 ratchet. You first find the right size tap it on with a hammer then loosen it with any option of tool . I bought mine from Harbor Freight about 15 years ago.

[@wirefeed3419]

Two things I highly recommend 1) prior to doing this kind of service do yourself and your tractor a favour and spray it down all over the drive line with a cleaner de-greaser and wash off. There is nothing that can be harmed in doing this it will only make the service go smoothly and long term over all benefit the tractor. 2) Get a paint marker and mark the new oil filter with the operating hours shown on the hour meter, this makes it very easy to keep track of when to do oil services.

Hey Tim, they have spring clamp pliers that make those easy to remove. Then use a screw clamp to go back together so you don't have to fight them anymore. Just don't over torque the clamp when going back together.

[@stephenmarinelli437]

Small zip ties work well to hold those type of clamps open, on the oil line to the magnetic strainer. You can use two hands to more easily move the clamp.

[@YMF1891]

[@Makinwaives]

Thanks again Tim. I've never done this and was a little hesitant. I asked the dealer if they could come to my home to do it, as I don't have a trailer. They told me $450.00 ball park. I guess that's fair for having to come to my house but it's still a bit high for me, especially when it will have to be done again and again. I'll get the fluid (and another filter wrench) and give it a shot. My biggest fear is stripping the 6mm allen (hex) bolt). Thank you.

[@danielclapp636]

It is not just Deere filters that are tight and painted on. I happen to own a Kioti ck2610hst and they have a reputation for being miserable for removing the Hydraulic oil filter. My oil filter and HST filter were not bad, Hydraulic oil filter did dent and caused a few ( Jeepers, and gosh words to be uttered). Nice video guys. Take care.

[@halsimon4565]

Tim, if you spray brake cleaner on the hose , the spring clamp will slide over the hose easier. It will not hurt the hose and will evaporate off the hose. It gives you just enough time to slide the clamp on. I own my own auto shop and have been using this trick for years. Spring clamps work better that worm drive clamps because the don't loosen up.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Cool. Thanks!

[@johnhamilton9229]

Hello Tim, Craftsman make an oil filter wrench. Uses a socket wrench and has three fingers to clamp filter. Great for tight spaces.

[@oldNavyJZ]

To your point about tightness. I ride a motorcycle and when I do brake jobs or any kind of maintenance, I tighten to the torque specs. When I did some work on my tractor the other day, I noticed JD had massively overtightened bolts. They actually damaged a couple washers they overtightened so much. I bought the tech manual from JD and they have a very nice torque spec table, but it doesn't seem like they follow it at all.

I wonder if it would be best to just replace those hydraulic hose clamps with regular screw type hose clamps. Those would be much easier to loosen up.....lol....and that's why you don't comment until the end of the video! Thanks for redoing this, I'm about to do this for the second time. It will be interesting to see how the shavings look the second time.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Other commenters are saying these clamps are better

[@ricktieken7025]

Use the spring clamps. They provide constant tension on the entire circumference of the tube. Worm gear clamps create a pressure point under the screw.

[@cowboyjeep94]

They do make the cups for the oil filter. I like all your videos, you give a lot of useful information. I have a 2019 model with about 130 hours. I’m dreading having to do this. I had a 2014 model and it had the 50 hour service. I think since it was a new model til they worked the clearances just right they had everyone do the 50 hour service. My 2014 model I used brake cleaner to clean that screen and then I used the new oil to relube the screen.

[@MakerBreakerFixer]

As someone who basically baths in hydraulic oil - don't dread it. The worst part is the very first time because as Tim noted - the suction tube elbows and clamps are painted on which adds thickness and makes it a pain - the first time. Each remaining time it's a pretty easy job and takes (on the driveway, no lift) about 30-45 minutes. A few notes: Before you drain the fluid, if you have a MMM, remove it, take off the 3 point and lower the three point (this makes more room near the hydraulic filter under the tractor with the mower linkage down). I use the 3 claw Gearwrench Oil filter wrench - uses a 3/8 drive ratchet to manipulate - works great.

[@dannymoss7605]

Hi Tim When you were talking about replacing the hose clamp with a worm clamp it's interesting to understand the purpose of the continuous pressure clamps. When a worm clap is tightened and the hose ages many times there will be leaks. as the hose hardens. Squeeze clamps apply steady even pressure. You will see this around transmission cooler hoses on automobiles. Worm clamps are easier but defiantly not near as good. If they were as good don't you think assembly lines would use them as they are much cheaper.

[@tuberstitious]

But I would expect they take considerably longer to screw tighten (install) and probably would have to be factory torqued. Everything I have read for years instructs me to not re-use those "spring" clamps. I stand to be corrected with verifiable authoritative affirmation though. I would really like to know...

[@tomoaktree4951]

Hi Tim, While watching your video, at around 11:45, I noticed the mouse on your pallet rack along with your cat trying to catch it!

[@jdinnis]

Thanks as always for your helpful videos. One tip that you might like, there is actually a really cool tool for removing those hose clamps. Astro Pneumatic 9409A Pliers (available on Amazon and other places). These allow you to open the clamp and lock it in the full open position so you can use both hands to slide it along the pipe. They are also great for all those tight spots where you can't get the Knipex on a clamp! Another thing that will help with removing those tight filters, grip them at the base, right where the filter attaches to the housing. The filter body is stronger there and more of your torque will go to loosening the filter. If you grip it in the middle, the can tends to crush and twist.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I never reinstall the spring clamps. I replace them with aircraft grade T-bolt clamps. Much easier to take on and off in the future. And they can’t pop off the pliers and end up lost in the garage. And, you can spray things off with brake cleaner to get the area around them. And, it is a a good way to clean of the screen filter.

It would be great if you could do a video showing all these points if you haven’t done one already.

I was wondering about that also. Especially since that pipe was just swapped with the new one with the oil temperature sensor. With that bracket screw removed there is plenty of play in there to get at that hose and clamps. That pipe is attached with a rubber hose at the top as well so no worriee about flexing it.

do you have a link to that video, i sure would like to make that job easier.

I took the bottom hose clamp off and replaced it with a regular hose clamp . Sure made it easier going back together

When I did this service on my 2018 1025R, I tried to reuse the O rings on the elbow (or 90 if you prefer) that the 6mm Allan bolt secures. The outer O ring that is compressed when the bolt is tightened had become oval or squished after being compressed for a lengthy period of time, and of course leaked... which means fighting with the hose clamps again after declaring victory originally. This is just a long winded way of saying if your machine is older, check the O rings if you don’t want to pay for hose clamp anger management therapy.

Hi to the Tractor Time with Tim love the the content. Have you ever thought of using some brake clearer on some of the parts.

nice video

I know most don't, but might want to torque the filter screw and oil drain plug to the correct values, hate to strip out either of those when they go into a block of aluminum. I am sure your arm is calibrated, but galling out the threads would make an easy change an expensive one if you had to purchase a new trans-axle housing or send it to a machine shop to have things re-threaded. Just a bit of armchair advice, from someone who has done it before in an aluminum block! 😁👍

18" Channelocks are the ultimate universal oil/fuel filter wrench. They easily remove 95% plus filters on any flavor equipment. You can use them for spring clamps and to twist hoses to release them as well. Great for pulling stubborn pins and rotating top links/turnbuckles or getting a pto shaft to line up the splines. Keep a set on the tractor and you will be going to them constantly. Well worth the investment, and handy for many jobs.

You should try the Knipex pliers. So much more refined. Amazing!

[@scottmarshall6766]

I have a couple sets of the Knipex, they're great, especially the Swedish pattern ones and they can put a lot of torque on frontend parts/pipe/rounded heads, but they don't fit the big stuff. The big Channelocks (model 480, 20 1/4" rated) might be a tad less refined, but they open up to almost 6" for filters, and have the leverage of the 18" + handles. They'll squash a filter flat if it's been overtightened (all too common, as you pointed out), but I never had even one oil filter I couldn't get off in over 30 years swinging wrenches, excepting the very rare case when they can't get into a very tight place.

Just did service to my tractor at 223 hours. Looks like dealer just replaced fluid and did not clean screen at 50. My case had alot of white sealant in the bottom. You state its not a problem but I will take it to my dealer next week and see what he says. Excellent video.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The sealant is normal. No issue. As far as I know, 100% of 1-series tractors have this.

[@completewildlife]

sounds good, I'll let it be.@@TractorTimewithTim

Hey Tim..They make pliers specifically for those cinch clamps. Thanks for the videos!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I ordered a set today based on earlier comments.

[@davidcolgan3268]

You may want to put some anti-seize on that bolt going into that aluminum housing. The reason it was hard to break loose was 1.) paint, and 2.) a little galvanic corrosion all ready.

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great video. Just wondering.? Is this the fluid that operates the hydraulic cylinders. ? If so, then should the cylinders be retracted to get all the fluid out. ?
