HOW TO Service and TRICK TO GREASE DRIVESHAFT John Deere 1025r/1023e

Thank you so much. I have trying to get to that fitting for years. The dealership told me I would have to bring it down to get it greased. Thanks again

First time on your channel. Awesome information. Thank you. Look forward to more on JD1025R

My 2017 1025R Johnny has those holes underneath & yes you're correct to use the bigger, wider slot, for greasing that grease zert fitting! You can also remove the floor panel & grease that fitting from above!

Thanks. I did it this way the last couple of times and wondered if it was okay. Wat easier than any other thing I had tried before.

Great job I been fighting that grease fitting for a while

This makes Me want to go check my 1026r I just got yesterday and see if its like this. Thanks good video!

I just did my yesterday, not that bad. The worse part it was, removing the grease coupler from the zirt. I ordered the LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler XL . There's 7 grease pins under my 2019 1025R tractor, and I think I got all. If I miss any, and there's more than 7, please any smart pants out there, let me know! 🤣. Thinking about adding the DIY front 3rd connection .

Another tip is the screen for the transmission on the back left side. On the back of the transmission coming up that tube/hose there is one bolt you can loosen and then that whole hose will move out of the way and give just enough room to get the filter/magnet out. Easier than messing with the two clamps. You have the back left wheel off, so even easier!

Thanks for the tips. I just completed my 400 hour maintenance except the front axle change out. About how much oil does the front axle take? Finally thanks for the mouse hole tip. I think i had some in there last winter. I need to pull the cover and look.

Great video. I have a 1023e from 2018. Today rear lift stopped lifting. Seems to hit a hard stop. Little travel. Could it be the proportioning valve (silver Tee) under right side of drivers seat?
Thnx. David

I drilled mine out - screw their poor design.

Have the 2019, the grease gun won't fit on the zerk other then in the small round hole. The larger opening is way off to the side.

What did you do to prevent the little friends to stop getting cozy inside of your tractor? LOL! They're very nesty, got inside of my GMC sierra vent, end up dying inside, and man, the smell never went way. I vacuumed, cleaned as far as I cold reach, spray with some cat odor spray. I spray my tractor with silicone, maybe it will keep them way. Other choice is spray the tires with some repellent? and keep loader, or any any implement up on the air? Don't know! Watch the video " An American Tail (1986), ne of my favorite cartoon video, hey, I'm old, very old, but still enjoy clean funny cartoons.

2012 1026r. Can't fit mine. Steel lines, no room. What an asinine design.

Also, keep an eye out on that orange oil cap on the side for the motor oil. That radiator hose vibrates around and your cap is pointed at it like mine and wears a hole into the hose! My hose never blew and surprised, but it probably only has millimeters of hose material left before it would have went through fully. I got another piece of hose and zip tied it over the hose but it's still wearing through. I used a Dremel and sanded off that corner on the oil cap. Not sure if that has helped at all yet as I just did that this summer and haven't looked at it again.
