Tractor Maintenance on Our Maine Homestead | John Deere 790

That's a really good tip about changing the fuel filter - really annoying dealing with air in the system.

Very helpful video! So, my fuel filter is a bit different. Apparently, JD used two different filters on the 790 depending on serial number. S/N -790000 used the paper filter #7 (M801101). S/N 790001- used the plastic strainer #18 (M811032). With the plastic strainer there is usually no need to replace it unless it is damaged. You can just clean it with some diesel fuel. However, mine’s not getting enough fuel and I think I’ll need to change the black filter which is closer to the tank.

I just purchased a 2002 790, this helped me a lot. Thank you

Glad we could help!

Thanks for the tips. Especially bleeding the fuel filter. I’m greasing my 790 and can’t seem to find all of the fittings shown in the manual so I came on KZbin to search.

Thank u very helpful for my 790 tractor . I been looking for a video on removing the hydraulic cylinder on my front end loader it’s a 300 loader, the seals are worn need to replace all four cylinder seals . Thank u for any help .

[@rustylee9630]

Great video, I wonder if fittings may stop my loader from slowly dropping?

[@thislittlelightofmaine]

If the tractor has any age to it I would place my bet on worn seals on one or more hydraulic cylinders, but I'm also not a mechanic.

[@mp591077]

thank you so much for this - have you ever had to change out the oil from the 4wd front wheels?

[@thislittlelightofmaine]

No we haven't, this tractor doesn't have very many hours

[@frankdominguez9605]

What size tires and brand are on your tractor? The guy I bought my tractor from put over sized tires on the front and scrapes when turning sharp.

[@thislittlelightofmaine]

Titan 11.2-24 rears and titan 7-14 fronts

[@bertjacobson9550]

Wear rubber gloves bro

[@rhinely850]

Were those metric vise grips? LOL

[@thislittlelightofmaine]

It's funny, they're metric when I need metric and standard when I need standard!

[@wooge3199]
