- Step by Step!
In today's video, we'll be fixing a John Deere 325 Engine oil leak!
Check out my previous video where I removed the engine: • John Deere 325 - Engin...
This Engine is a Kawasaki FC540V & it needs both a sump gasket & also a crankshaft oil seal replacement.
I recommend replacing both at the same time!
I also used Blue Permatex Threadlocker on all the bolts!

Thank you for taking the time to carefully explain and film this repair procedure. Seriously, One of the best instructional videos that I've seen. After watching this video and the prior one, on removing the engine, I now feel comfortable tackling this repair myself.
Good luck Mike!
Complements! One of the better in structural videos on the subject. You speak at a good speed not fast giving the viewer a better opportunity to pick up on what is required. Just good overall detail verbiage and video coverage.
Today is the day. Putting her back together after I brush up with another video view here with coffee. Thx!
Thank you for sharing this. I wouldn't have thought of flipping the engine upside now; that was fantastic! So much easier. Thank you also for explaining to move the crankshaft a bit when reinstalling the sump. When I did that my sump dropped right into place. I did this on an FS-500v; a little different but same basic process. The FS-500V has two sleeve bushings that sit just above the lower main seal...and they are a tight fit! But, with some patience and lots of gentle wiggling, the sump comes off.
two great videos fixing to tackle this job, your video was greatly appreciated
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I have a lx277 so different engine, but similar. You gave me the confidence to do this. Tired of the oil leak. Thanks.
Me too! My 277 would shed just enough oil to coat the front of the mower deck...then get a nice coat of grass cuttings. SUCH a mess--NO MORE!!
just picked up a 325 on the side of the road for free. It has an oil leak so thank god for you! I will follow along closely!
What a score, I have quite a few videos on this machine, so check out my playlist here: John Deere 325: ruclips.net/p/PLOTWBqOo4HbUEkIWkuaxUMvUJIXmUbnPm
Great video, very informational and helpful!
Great tutorial Sir, love engines.............and love your your style and professionalism............thankyou
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video explained in detail with confidence but not cockiness somebody who truly just knows what they're doing well done thank you
Thanks for watching Michael, glad it helped!
Another great video. Totally professional.
Very good to watch, thanks for that!
Excellent video! I have a gt275 with the same engine. I started it today to run it a few minutes and have oil on the floor under the pto that I never noticed before. Looks like I'll be pulling the motor over Christmas break.
Thanks for watching!
I need to do a ring job on the same engine, but the model that goes on a ferris dual hydro from the late 90's. I'd love to see a video on that job. Awesome, well thought out video btw. You're a good teacher.
Awesome video. Same issue on new to me LX277. Starting on it today.
Thanks for your videos, just got John Deere GT 275 with this engine. 😀
Nice vid and comments. Will watch again B4 attacking my FC450V that leaks massively Thanks much.
How IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT
IS HOLY AND DEAR are you able to keep a tabletop of the work bench so clean!? 😢. I’m still trying to figuring out basic First Principles. In other news - this is one of the best how to vids I’ve seen in a very long time. Not my engine - yet it’s still preparing me for a Kawasaki Main Gasket. So thanks for this…. Great Karma ❤
I just bought a non running F710 with the same engine with 260 hours for $400. I put a new fuel line on and it fired right up. I noticed it's got the same oil leak in the exact same spot. Looks like an easy fix after watching the video.
Thanks ! Good explanation.
Man you’re the greatest!!
Thanks for the part numbers ! I’m not sure what’s leaking eather the gasket or the seal. But she’s losing oil but thanks for the informative and educational video. I wish there were more informative videos like this!
Good job merry Christmas
Good job Jake !
Thanks for watching!
Thanks dude! I think my oil pump screen is clogged up or the pump is bad. Your tha man dude!
Thanks for watching Eran!
And if you'd like to see how to remove this engine from a John Deere 325, check out this video here: ruclips.net/video/Om4kHrkCRRo/видео.html
If screen not stopped up be sure and install new oil pump
Great video
Great video. Thanks
Great video thanks!!!
Thanks Bruce!
Have you ever seen the oil filter mounting plate crack and leak? Mine appears to be leaking just below where the filter screws in? My engine is a FC540v
Great detail
Thanks for watching!
Eliminator Performance I wanted to thank you again for the great video, i used your method with the air hammer today and got off a very, very stubborn PTO clutch on an old John Deere LX277
Ahem…. I think I may have not reinstalled the “thrust washer”. Put her all back together and fill it with oil only to see oil moments later flood the garage floor like a Friday the 13th bloodbath scene. I KNEW I was missing something about crankshaft end play that I didn’t fully commit to understanding…😂 Ever have that happen? So many details to keep track of. At any rate, I do have the washer (thought it was for the crankshaft end between pulleys). The good news is breaking the unit down is happening at record speed. 👍
Good info
Thanks for watching!
My governor arm came out of adjustment any idea how to get it back in spec
Good video as usual. Too bad Stens didn't have that gasket....I love Stens...good belts too. 2 year warranty now eh! Permatex has some thick red rebuild lube and high heat gasket adhesive that I like, just an FYI since you're a Permatex guy. I love Permatex too.
It’s good but I uyKW seal the most
You could just put a 6 inch extension in the improper direction of a large socket. Works the same as a seal drive, as the force is distributed throughout the whole surface. Good video though
I wish everybody did videos like this. The world would be a better place. I'm doing this to my x500 with a FH721V in it. I'm assuming it's very similar?
Most likely very similar to this yes. Thanks for watching!
$4.00 of that gasket was the cardboard lol. Great video.
Yea, glad you agree with me on that lol
Good Video, would have been nice if you had shown how you removed & replaced the sump screen though.
Thanks for watching! And as for the screen, I just used a small bristle brush and all the little chunks came out, it cleaned up nicely.
I'd only recommend replacing the screen if it's really clogged up, but then again, you can always just soak it in some carb cleaner and it should remove the gunk.
That sump gasket failure is super common on these kawi 540 engines.
Thanks for watching
You mention different thicknesses of sump gaskets. How thick is stock? Do I just order a stock gasket or do I measure the old one and give the thickness measurement to my local parts guy and he will know which gasket I need? Maybe the facotry uses just one thickness of gasket but adjusts crankshaft endplay by using different thickness thrust washers???
I believe it won't say on the stock, and the other kind will say like 0.015" etc... And yes they use thrust washers, but as things start to wear you can use a sump gasket thickness similar to how an engine builder would use a cylinder head gasket thickness.
I used a socket to pound in my crank seal. It still leaks :(
JD part s are very high price for sure
Use factory sump gasket is best for clearance
One thing I do is use electric ingraver and go around the sump sealing area and make several lines but stay in center
So far 6 years and no return leaks yet
So apparently the crank doesn't have end bearings that are replaceable the crank just slides into the case housing I've got a lot of crank play not in Play Just wobbly inside
You have 2 seals listed (Bottom and Upper) how do I know which one I need
If the oil is leaking out of the lower that's the one you replace. Sometimes you only need to replace the bottom. But many times people see a seal number and order the wrong one by accident. So I listed them both for clarification.
Ok thanks I went ahead and ordered the sump pan gasket and the crankcase seal you have listed as lower. I really appreciate your reply and your videos are top notch. Keep up the awesome work
Thanks for watching!
Thats onevreason there parts are higher hotvtonoay for that logo
Got to pay for logo
Never use silicone just tack or KW sealer
I have worked on Briggs, kohler, and Tecumseh, even Clinton, but have not tackled a Kawasaki yet. Interesting and nicely done!
