Wow, you did a great job. As a lady, I was super impressed with how clean & meticulous you work. Most guys are sloppy. You my fine Sir are a gem! I have a 1025R and would love to watch you do a ton more videos on the JDeere 1025R
Excellent video, I myself would Thoroughly blow all the dust the dirt off from the engine, as well as the front filter in front of the radiator and clean out all the dust that you can before doing the oil change
Good idea! After each mowing I blow off the JD and Scag with a strong backpack leaf blower. Zero turns gets much dirtier than any mower I've ever used! Thanks for watching and commenting!
seems so easy to design the engine oil filter location and the like where oil does not run all over the engine when changing filters and then using catch all paper towels. thanks great video.
Thank you Cortez! Over 4 years and 460 hours, I still look forward to getting on my 1025R. If you have any questions or suggestions please don't hesitate to post them.

Thanks LA! I'm just glad the weather is warming up enough to get out and get some work done. When that happens it usually means storms are coming, looks like you guys are getting hammered down there today. Stay safe!!
Hey is it ok to take your leaf blower and blow all the bugs and dust off before you begin. Just a little suggestion maybe help make it a perfect video and thanks for the video
I wished that the oil filter was in a better location. You cannot change it without making a hot mess. Could you tell me what size is that Honda Civic oil filter tool? I have to get me one. Changed the oil tonight - getting the filter off was not easy.
Had the same side oil fill cap rub issue with mine. After watching i took it off and threaded it a different way (if that makes sense) to where it tightened up and down. Problem solved
Very detail and to the point. Was that electrical tape used on the hose wear spots? Any chance of doing another video on 1025r Lubrication, tire pressures, any other maintenance tips. Thank you Pm Tips, your video was very helpful.
Yes, it was some 2 inch wide electrical tape I had. I cut off a short length and fold it a few times. It seems to hold up pretty good too. Thank you for watching!
As far as the air cleaner recall upgrade issue, it's not the bracket that cracks, the vibration at shut off causes the bracket to crack the valve cover and let pieces fall down into the engine causing catastrophic failure. I didn't get the kit upgrade, I just took the bracket off, you don't need it.
You did a great job with this video. Not quite sure what the 8 thumbs down are for, but I got a lot out of it and appreciate the effort you put in. Thanks.
That's surprising. Mobil 1 5W-30 is not a HDEO, and most certainly is not a recommended engine oil for the 1025R Yanmar engine. That does not mean running it will grenade your engine. I trust engine manufacturing engineers to spec the oil for a specific engine. The biggest variable is ambient temperature followed by bearing tolerance. A good diesel engine can take tons of abuse, and running a lighter than spec oil is a very, very minor form of abuse, but what are your ambient temps? Barrow Alaska is fine for 5W-30 whereas Miami Florida not so much. Thanks for watching!
Not sure if you know about the Air Filter problem. I'd be getting that updated. Program # for dealer to get it replaced: 18LV188 Before the program #, they had this out there: Air Cleaner Update JD Solution Number 113718
Thank you for watching and your comment! My original air filter brackets are hanging tough, they're not even cracked. I have the necessary part numbers. It's probably a matter of when and not if, but when they do crack I'll just order the new brackets. That little Yanmar, it sure can vibrate at idle can't it?

Hi Chris and thanks for watching! Yes, in the owner's manual it recommends a 15w-40 engine oil, with the exception of the first 100 hours, where it is recommended to use John Deere's 10w-30 Break-in Oil. I change the oil early in an engine's life, so at the 50 hour mark on this 1025R, I stayed with the break-in oil, then went to Rotella T at 100 hours. You can't go wrong with any major brand oil, just stick with manufacturers recommended viscosity (at your temperatures).
So my tractor might of had 2 quarts of oil over. And it burned a lot of oil when it was turned on. Do u know if the engine was ruined. It wouldnt stop. After a few minutes it finnaly stopped any idea if the engine needs to be cleaned? I know its a stupid question but please excuse that
Hi Jack, the danger of over filling a crankcase is the crankshaft beating the oil to where it contains lots of air and air bubbles.If your engine is fairly clean, I would just drain and refill to the proper level. These little Yanmars hold 2.9 to 3.0 quarts so 2 quarts over is a considerable amount. As to why your engine would not shut off when the key was turned.....I don't know. The key shuts the fuel off and that should kill the engine. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting!
@@pmtips4482 i did some research and its because i used 5w 30 synthetic oil. Its too thin for a tractor. Because its so thin it caused what they call a "runaway". Thats when the engine keeps going until either it blows up or when it stabilizes like my. I changed the oil to 10w 40 and changed the filter for the new oil. It burned the rest of what was in the engine and now its running smooth. No leaks no explosions thankfully.😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Jose! I'll probably stick with Rotella T in 15W-40 for my conditions here, but I may try Rotella's synthetic blend in the same weight. My main reason for not going to a full synthetic is not cost, but the fact I only put about 60 to 70 hours on the little Yanmar engine before changing the oil. I don't push OCIs on any of my engines. I just can't see the value in doing that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Found out several years back that there's no real advantage for synthetic in diesel engines - the oil gets contaminated by soot and fuel after so many hours or miles and has to be changed no matter what. It's far more important to change the oil at the recommended intervals than having synthetic or regular.
Oliver, I apologize for the late reply. Punch this into a search engine and pick the one you want, they run from 10 to 30 dollars. "07AAA-PLCA100". Specs are: 65mm with 14 flats. Keep in mind this is for the OEM John Deere 1025R oil filter. Thanks and stay safe!
I've a Simplicity zero turn with a B&S 'Professional' v-twin with the oil filter also in the same horizontal position. WHY engineers come up with this is beyond me. A cheap and simple cast right angle part would put it vertical and keep from making a mess when changing oil.

Do you have to remove the mower deck to change the oil ?
I definitely would remove the deck. If you're at the 50 hours service interval, you need to grease several zerks under there too.
Nice job, jc
Thanks 👍

I’ve always been recommended just regular old Mobil 1 5w30 for my 4310 with the 3 cyl yanmar, never any issues

Funny that Manuel shows the air filter in new location?
It could be due to the newer design holding bracket.
