Routine maintenance on your 1E or 1R Series Compact Tractor is a must. In fact, John Deere recommends replacing the oil and filter every 200 hours and annually if less than 200 hours of operation.

Remove Right Side Panel
After running the engine for a few minutes to warm the oil, turn off the ignition and raise the hood.
Drain the Oil
Remove the oil plug and let it drain completely. Don’t forget to place a drain pan under the plug, otherwise, you will have a mess! After the oil is drained, replace the plug making sure not to overtighten.
Install Filter changing your engine oil
Using your filter wrench remove the old filter. Remember, Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty. Before installing the new filter, apply some clean oil to the top then screw it. Tighten to a solid contact and be sure to wipe away any loose dirt.
Add New Oil changing your engine oil
Add 2.7 L of John Deere Plus-50 II 15W40 Oil to the machine’s crankcase. Start the engine, and check for leaks. If you need to top off your 1025R make sure the engine is turned off.
