@Mordechai Boone I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
God bless you for sharing your repair for loss of power on a John Deere tractor. I have a 5055D that just started doing this exact thing. I appreciate the video and detailed instructions on what/how to fix this issue. Thank you thank you!
fuel is horrible nowadays!! I use a product called diesel power service...never had this trouble again. I buy it by the case on Amazon. Here's a link from my amazon page if you're curious. Link does earn commissions which is how I can take the time to create content like this...here ya go: amzn.to/4hlz61u
I like your nerve to tackle and fix the problem. If there were more equipment owners like yourself, maybe if the equipment manuals were more detailed, the equipment owners would be in a position to better maintain their equipment,
Good repair. And I laughed when you cleaned the filter then shook it like a thermometer. I thought to myself "yeah he's a nurse" lol. Enjoyed the video👍
I had the same problem with my John Deere 5055. Made a video of it as well. I removed that filter element and replaced it with a 3/8" inline fuel filter, like a Fram G3. You would be surprises at the lack of information out there to keep our tractors working. Glad to see more people sharing their experiences and fixes. 🙂 Keep up the videos.
A friend of mine who is a diesel truck driver over-the-road driver told me years ago that the diesel we purchase is crap. He owned his truck and he told me he always uses Lucas gas and diesel treatment. 1 qt. per 100 gallons. I have been using it since then and no fuel issues. I have 3 diesel engines and no problems.
We had the same problems on both our JD tractors , the local JD mechanics that service our machines didn't know about the in tank filters. We cleaned them ourselves. Ours was caused by water entering our old plastic tank , replaced it with a new 1500litre tank and all sorted
Same thing happened with my 5065E, I did the same thing you did. I now put diesel clear additive in every fill up. I also changed the fuel filter, the main cause was the inline fuel strainer within the tank.

Howse additive works great for this plus helps lubricate the engine more since all diesel is low sulfur now, I use it every time I fill up my tractor with fuel!
Thank you, I had the same issue with my 5045, I just blowed air into the tank, but sometimes it stills having the same problem and I blow air again. Now you gave me the solution. Great chanel! Greetings from Argentina!
I had the same issue, removed the plastic filter altogether, installed an inline JD fuel filter about 1 foot down from fuel tank and problem solved. Plus you can remove the JD inline filter when you want, wash it out with water, let dry, re-install....forever. The JD filter does not need replacing, just cleaning/washing.
fuel nowadays isn't the best...I use diesel power service in all my tanks now and have not had a problem since. Here's a link to it from my Amazon page if you'd like amzn.to/3Aq5DCW (link earns commissions but doesn't cost ya anything) This is a 6 pack that lasts me several years
My Dad had a similar problem with his JD 2210. He used Power Services bio kleen and has not had any problem with the slime plugging his lines and filter since.
Maaaaan! I wish I could afford two tractors. One day hopefully not too far away. The one I currently have and a substantially bigger one. This is the problem my tractor is probably having. Thanks for confirming suspicions. Time to pull a tank and get back to work!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer if your still looking in the spring for cattle i will have some nice registered angus bull and one heifer calves so far 2 more to come and they will be for sale little far for you but i am in northern wv
I am glad that you found the problem and I definitely would replace that filter if I was you so that problem don't come up again for a long time. I have a John Deere 790 tractor without a front bucket and a 3032E tractor with a bucket and so far I have not had major problems with either of them. The 790 tractor had one problem with a fuel line which I replaced and it was back in action.
Glad you found the problem and was able to do a quick temporary fix. Personally I think there is a engineering design problem also. There was enough room to put a filter/cutoff valve assy outside the tank.
I have had problems like you had in the past. One thing I am a beliver in now is running diesel fuel treatment in the fuel. I use John Deere winter fuel treatment year round in mine and have had no issues for several years now.
Josh, you should consider getting a 275 gallon tank like is used for a fuel oil furnace and have your farm fuel delivered. It will cost a little more, but you will have a single source for fuel and you will eliminate fuel runs.
I have a JD 4310, thankfully the full filter is easy to get to and change out. Happy veterans day brother 👨✈️🇺🇲 I've also used Lucas treatment in my diesel fuel, it helps.
Well done. I have 2 suggestions for you that might help. One, if you don't already have one. Get a set of nut drivers, the will save you a lot of work with those hose clamps. The second and probably more important, get a in line water separator filter to put on the outlet of your tank in the truck. This will help to make sure that you are feeding your tractors good fuel. Take care!
David you make a good point...I'm actually working on a video called "The Psychology of the Screwdriver"....this will detail why I went with the screwdriver v/s the nut driver..I have both and agree with you...but for some reason I still went with the screwdriver lol
I glad you find the trouble something easy to fix with that John deere but what about your other tractors they might have bad fuel too I hope they a fuel filter on the fuel hose
Josh, definitely need to use a biocide additive with your fuel. Also, they make water absorbing socks to place in the filler-neck hang from the chain to absorb any water.
Algae has been an issue here in Alberta Canada as well If you have a good hotsy pressure washer you can flush tank out at home just drain really well flush it out and refill with clean diesel also a treatment of biocide as others have suggested will help
If you have an issue with possible water in your fuel again, go to Napa and get a bottle of Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement. Follow the directions on how much to add to each gallon. This stuff works Awesome. I used to work for a company in NY were we have hundreds of pieces of Equipment, I made sure all of our Fuel was Supplemented with this. We stopped having fuel related issues.
Just found your channel & I like. One thing: Brake cleaner eats green paint right off your tractor. Suggest keeping it away from any painted surfaces you may wish to remain painted. Wooooo!
Thanks so much for the information Brother. I always enjoy learning at someone else's expense :) I have a 5055E, and will be doing this proactively as soon as I get my diesel levels down a bit.
I have cleaned many tanks on equipment,, just pull off the drain and line,, drain fuel and pressure wash the inside. Then blow dry with dry with compressed air or a leaf blower..
done this on lawn equipment and you think you got it all out, nope. then you have problems running until all the water gets out of the gas or fuel. Just another can of worms.
Your Massey Ferguson's will have these filter's too. Ask your John Deer dealer if a "Mr. Gasket 9706 Universal Clearview Fuel Filter" would work right after the tank (I don't know myself) but if it dose it can also be ordered off of Amazon with fixed size chrome nipples on it tool and you can get replacement filter elements too.
I'd call that an EASY learn! Just a hose clamp and some brake cleaner. I'd have taken close up pictures of that filter to show your diesel source. I wonder if you might have needed to flush out tank. Not much crap drained out, but how much of what is growing in there did the filter actually catch? Find a way to treat all the fuel you have in storage. Treat that infection, it could come back.
The best way to avoid that type of fuel issue is to use a transfer tank with an extra fuel filter in line. I have an old 50 gallon B truck saddle tank with a GPI 12V pump with the LD in line cartridge/ canister filter. It stops 90% of trash getting into the tank. If water is a problem then they have a special waterblock element that I Know Works well.
2015 3025e JD tractor e series code ECU a 522242.04 this code is for this issue right here, dirty filter,fix remove the screen, clean the tank and put in a inline fuel filter. JD (everglades) wouldn't help, unless I brought it in, now ag pro of chief land walked me through it. Thank you AG pro
here's the cure that I've found my brother: this is a link from my amazon affiliate page...I buy it by the case and have not had a fuel problem since!!! amzn.to/46HR2O2 (I do earn a commission from Amazon sales, but you don't pay anything extra..again..I buy this by the case!)
I would reccomend using some of that hotshots secrect you used in your pickup, also when fueling any piece of equipment, especially out of a can, we use those cheap disposable paint filters in the bottom of a funnel
Did that fuel come out of the truck tank that you fixed the pump on? Could be a two fold issue. I have always used Power Service or Howe’s fuel additive to prevent water related issues. You can buy water absorbers to drop in the tank that are attached by a cable. Once a month remove the absorber and hang it in a covered area to evaporate the moisture. Replace in tank to continue water protection.
My father in law has the same model & we’ve had that issue twice. It took over a year for it to happen the second time. The lowest portion of the tank is maybe a half inch below the bottom edge of the filter and debris collects there.
I seem to remember an acid wash of tank again 30 years ago it was an old car and I'm female and 69. And I also became more careful about stations I went to.
Always look to your local (most local) truck-stop for ideas and fixes too. Diesel-kleen is great for cleaning algae and bio-sludge from the fuel system. As I don't farm, not sure if it is available at tractor shops or farm stores, but it should clean your system with no more than we saw in the bucket. Good luck, stay safe, and we'll see you on the next video.
@@michaelmactavish1728 1984 882D CUB CADET FACTORY ORIGINAL 3 CYLINDER KABOTA 18HP DIESEL. MY FIRST ONE AND I LOVE IT CAN PLOW SNOW ALL DAY LONG ON 3/8 OF A 4 GALLON TANK. DURING THE WINTER I USE HOWES DIESEL TREAT CONDITIONER AND ANTI-GEL.hAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS LITTLE LAWN AND GARDEN TRACTOR.
Everything I have that runs on diesel I run run a additive in the fuel to disapate the water, I also installed inline water and trash seperaters. This allows me to eliminate the in tank filter, where it starts. Then if I have problems I can look into the glass bowl to check and if need change the filters. This guarantees that it won't make it to the pump or engine, which could be very expensive. Good luck.
Well...almost 5 years of fuel put in this tractor and this is the first issue. You make a great point...for sure all the fuel put in every tractor I've got is filtered before and after it's added to the tank...sometimes there's no winning! Grrr frustrating for sure
Hi Josh. Great video. If you want to reuse that fuel (their's no reason not to,) use two or three (paper Automotive Paint, very fine mesh,) Paint strainers. Use the paper strainer's, inside a plastic fuel funnel.) If I remember, correctly that mesh ( (paper Automotive Paint Strainers) works out to 8 microns or less filtering. I think a human hair (0.004(ish) inches.) is much thicker, just to give some scale.
Wow i never would've thought that would happen. Hopefully your Fuek distributor will clean their product. I've seen this in Sunoco gasoline. They seem to have dirty fuel. Thanks Josh.
If you use a lot of diesel, it's worth getting a fuel polisher. Should be able to get one for less than $500. Saves time and money long term. Split it with you stepdad.
Most all the older 5Es have the screen and create the same issue. Most Tractors we deal with we take that screen out completely. Then just install a in-line fuel filter close to the tank that’s easier to service rather than draining the whole fuel tank.
Bio diesel will do this if not used quickly enough. I'm guessing it's a 20% blend. Had a truck that wasn't used over the summer and the tank was full of algae. That was 80 gallons gone to waste. And the inline filter is always a good idea!
Here in the UK they took most of the sulphur out of our diesel with the result it became a much more hospitable growth media for bacteria. The bacteria grows in the moisture trapped in the fuel, sulphur was an effective bactericide. If your local retailer does not have a high turnover of fuel I suspect that is your issue. Regards from Scotland.
Would it be easier to remove the filter inside the tank and put a clear filter just outside the tank inline the hose so you could see from outside when a problem is developing with fuel?
I have an acquaintance who had to replace half his engine and fuel system because of algae. He flushed everything over and over, used every cleaner in the book and even after that he got build up and engine/power problems because of a gunked up diesel pump.
John Deere has a flaw in their fuel tank design. That filter should be about 2 inches or so off the bottom of the tank to allow for settlement and sludge to settle in. All diesel truck tanks have their pickup tubes several inches off the bottom and most of the time they are on level ground. Not like a tractor were it is running on rough terrain most of it's life were the fuel is sloshing back and forth.
You can filter and reuse the diesel Josh.....put rags in funnel then pour drain diesel in....instead of loosing 7 gallons lost 1 gallon is alright isn't it.....I tried before....primary strainer usually over looked....
This is a common problem with bio- diesel blend. Use a quality diesel fuel additive with each fill up also add it to your storage container at fill up. make sure the additive is also a lubricant to replace the sulfur in older equipmen like the MF 65
Blow the pick up filter out with the compressor. You are either getting dirty fuel from your supplier or you own storage system. That can happen if they run their tank dry and and the new fuel going in disturbs the sediment that accumulates. Most stations don't left their tanks get to that point. Then there is diesel bug that grows in your tank it looks slimey similar to water being in there. Hows the filter look on your own storage tank. Does it have a water trap?

My father in law has the same model & we’ve had that issue twice. It took over a year for it to happen the second time. The lowest portion of the tank is maybe a half inch below the bottom edge of the filter and debris collects there.
I'M FIRST! First to admit I was wrong! It wasn't the head gasket. I'm glad it was a cheap affordable fix!
lol.....well....don't be so hard on yourself...the tractor is at john deere right now! Had some seals go bad...clutch and other little issues
Not too difficult. I have seen issues like this before. Good job, Josh.
Put a couple of fuel filters on your transfer thank should help from that happening
When I had an old diesel MBZ I had problems with fuel as well. Wish I remembered the solution.
Definitely was the filter
I seem to remember an acid wash of tank again 30 years ago it was an old car and I'm female and 69. And I also became more careful about stations I went to.
Thank you for the information. It helped me I appreciated
Josh use this product in your fuel it will clean the screen of alge and sludge it's called diesel kleen
Always look to your local (most local) truck-stop for ideas and fixes too. Diesel-kleen is great for cleaning algae and bio-sludge from the fuel system. As I don't farm, not sure if it is available at tractor shops or farm stores, but it should clean your system with no more than we saw in the bucket. Good luck, stay safe, and we'll see you on the next video.

Get it at Wally World. They all have it if they have an automotive section.
@@ralfie8801 I don't own a diesel, but thanks.

I have a JD5065e very helpful thank you!!!!
Everything I have that runs on diesel I run run a additive in the fuel to disapate the water, I also installed inline water and trash seperaters.
This allows me to eliminate the in tank filter, where it starts.
Then if I have problems I can look into the glass bowl to check and if need change the filters.
This guarantees that it won't make it to the pump or engine, which could be very expensive. Good luck.
Well...almost 5 years of fuel put in this tractor and this is the first issue. You make a great point...for sure all the fuel put in every tractor I've got is filtered before and after it's added to the tank...sometimes there's no winning! Grrr frustrating for sure
Hi Josh. Great video. If you want to reuse that fuel (their's no reason not to,) use two or three (paper Automotive Paint, very fine mesh,) Paint strainers. Use the paper strainer's, inside a plastic fuel funnel.) If I remember, correctly that mesh ( (paper Automotive Paint Strainers) works out to 8 microns or less filtering. I think a human hair (0.004(ish) inches.) is much thicker, just to give some scale.
Watch till the end of the video..you'll get a laugh
Wow i never would've thought that would happen. Hopefully your Fuek distributor will clean their product. I've seen this in Sunoco gasoline. They seem to have dirty fuel. Thanks Josh.
If you use a lot of diesel, it's worth getting a fuel polisher. Should be able to get one for less than $500. Saves time and money long term. Split it with you stepdad.
Most all the older 5Es have the screen and create the same issue. Most Tractors we deal with we take that screen out completely. Then just install a in-line fuel filter close to the tank that’s easier to service rather than draining the whole fuel tank.
You make a very good point
Bio diesel will do this if not used quickly enough. I'm guessing it's a 20% blend. Had a truck that wasn't used over the summer and the tank was full of algae. That was 80 gallons gone to waste. And the inline filter is always a good idea!
Here in the UK they took most of the sulphur out of our diesel with the result it became a much more hospitable growth media for bacteria. The bacteria grows in the moisture trapped in the fuel, sulphur was an effective bactericide. If your local retailer does not have a high turnover of fuel I suspect that is your issue. Regards from Scotland.
Thanks buddy...great feedback!
Thankz! Left my cap off and it rained ALL WEEKEND! guess I get to check da filter!
Another awesome video by the stoney ridge farmer I love this channel
Thanks J
Visit a auto paint supply store, they should have the disposal large filters that will fit your funnel.
Would it be easier to remove the filter inside the tank and put a clear filter just outside the tank inline the hose so you could see from outside when a problem is developing with fuel?
We shall see..if this becomes a repeditive problem I'll do that for sure! And put a shut off valve in place
I have an acquaintance who had to replace half his engine and fuel system because of algae. He flushed everything over and over, used every cleaner in the book and even after that he got build up and engine/power problems because of a gunked up diesel pump.
John Deere has a flaw in their fuel tank design. That filter should be about 2 inches or so off the bottom of the tank to allow for settlement and sludge to settle in. All diesel truck tanks have their pickup tubes several inches off the bottom and most of the time they are on level ground. Not like a tractor were it is running on rough terrain most of it's life were the fuel is sloshing back and forth.
You can filter and reuse the diesel Josh.....put rags in funnel then pour drain diesel in....instead of loosing 7 gallons lost 1 gallon is alright isn't it.....I tried before....primary strainer usually over looked....
Keep watching till the end you'll get a chuckle!
So what good does adding an inline filter do since it would be after the filter in the tank that plugged?
Remove the filter from the tank....replace with a shut off valve and inline filter setup prior to the larger fuel filter that's on the tractor
This is a common problem with bio- diesel blend. Use a quality diesel fuel additive with each fill up also add it to your storage container at fill up. make sure the additive is also a lubricant to replace the sulfur in older equipmen like the MF 65
Blow the pick up filter out with the compressor. You are either getting dirty fuel from your supplier or you own storage system. That can happen if they run their tank dry and and the new fuel going in disturbs the sediment that accumulates. Most stations don't left their tanks get to that point. Then there is diesel bug that grows in your tank it looks slimey similar to water being in there. Hows the filter look on your own storage tank. Does it have a water trap?
