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 .

[@joebarrett9830]

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.

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.

[@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.

Nice video on the hydraulic oil change, this type of work is very good for our brains, especially as we get older.

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@josephsierra7295]

Hey Tim, I have recently (last year) done the 200hr service (really at 400hrs, dealer did the first one) and worked from yourold video. Did not remove wheel. I faced the hose removal challenge. Wasn't too bad. FIlter was a PIA. Had to wrap a few layers of Duct tape around it to get my wrench to work. LOL! Great videos. thanks for sharing!

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.

[@d.a.ballou9740]

Nice explanation on how to do this even though I don't need it because I don't have a 1025r (or any Deere tractor for that matter😁} And I will confess that you had me, for a while, with the cat and mouse in the background! I was all ready to ask in the comments if anyone else saw that or if Bullseye caught the mouse! I am glad to report, however, that I did figure it out BEFORE the end of the video. 🤣🤣👨‍🚒

Nice metering pump for the oil bucket. Also the waste oil collection sounds interesting as well. I’m guessing we’ll see more about that later. Blessings.

[@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.

[@GrampysTractor]

Remember Tim, Brake Cleaner is your friend. The added torque on the filter and the hex bolt usually come from paint the first time you disassemble them.

[@mymorristribe]

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.

[@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! When I change any kind of oil, I put my hand in a small plastic bag, and then remove the drain plug. keeps my hand clean and I have found that I'm less likely to drop it in the oil pan.

[@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!

[@curtanderson8655]

[@danieloverton4262]

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.

[@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...

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.

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

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

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.

They do make hose clamp pliers for those hose clamps that hook in the eyelet of the clamp so they don't slip off and in some cases actually latch the clamp in the open position. A lot better then your "nipx" pliers.

[@CannFarms]

I was going to suggest the same thing. They work excellent! I didn’t know they made such a thing until my buddy helped me change a radiator bottle.

[@stevestahl5905]

One big opportunity for Tim to sell you stuff.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Whatever. I don’t care if folks buy anything. Just try to show some interesting products. Makes for more interesting ideas to see something unique or something new. At least that is MY opinion.

[@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.

Watch the end of the video

[@marksawyer5299]

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

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I ordered a set today based on earlier comments.

[@stephenphilbrook6239]

When I changed mind the first time, I stripped the allen head out. My dealer gave me a hex head bolt to replace it.

[@vetter847]

Best video put on KZbin. EVER. What diameter is the clamp needed if the hose clamps are replaced?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Based on other comments, I don’t recommend replacing the clamp

[@demcburney]

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.

The instructions on the side of that hydraulic filter are very clear, it says to tighten ONE TURN after the gasket makes contact. Not all filters are the same. While most engine oil filters say to tighten 1/2 turn, the majority of hydraulic and spin-on fuel filters say to tighten a full turn after the gasket makes contact.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I won’t be tightening that tight. Nearly impossible to get loose.

[@eosjoe565]

@@TractorTimewithTim The main reason the original was tight is because the factory put it on dry. They do the same thing with engine oil filters. Now that you have oil on the gasket it will be easier to remove next time. As for those allen hose fitting bolts, the main reason they are so tight the first time is because they have thick paint on them, basically sealing them to the housing. So you have to break the paint bond before they loosen.

[@marlondeere3039R]

The reason some are one half turn and some are full turn or more is how many threads per inch on the backplate.

[@jimhaugh6851]

20, 2025r no gasket material and I use same filter wrench also have a pair of L shaped pliers worked awesome on the spring clamps

[@scottmarshall6766]

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.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

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.

[@OO-by2jl]

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

[@PoisonShot20]

Boy, I have one of these pan for about 15 years.

[@paulrichardson8590]

Just did this fluid change at 57 hours on my 2025R, and wish I’d had watched your video prior to my project! The owners manual doesn’t seem to do a good job showing all the lubrications points, either grease zirks or superlube spray points. It would be great if you could do a video showing all these points if you haven’t done one already. I know the 2025R has the “hidden” flywheel zirk, and I counted four total zirks on the machine itself and I’m not sure if there’s more. Thanks.

[@mattphillips4260]

from the farm i worked for that low vis or high vis hyd oil it has to do with temp and thickness of the oil at one point i somewhat had idea of it but have forgot it from being away from it for so long now

[@Gnomoleon]

Try using silicone spray to help moving the hose clamps on and off.
