Oil & Fuel 2025 R Filter and Vibration

beemerdr · Apr 26, 2016

Hi guys! (and gals)

Try to keep it short. Bought a 2025R at a distress sale last fall. Getting it ready for the summer season here in NY. Two things.

First, the tractor only had 80 hours on it. Previous owner said he had engine oil changed but didn't service the transmission.

The tractor has a vibration in the left footboard, especially at higher RPM with PTO turning. The hydraulic filter is mounted directly to the floorboard on the left on this model, and YES you feel the vibration in the filter. I found one post relative to this vibration, nothing in those replies was helpful. Anyone else experience that problem? What was solution. I will be changing the filter and fluid this week. I'll post if it helps!

Thing two: $44.03 for a spin on oil filter!!!!! You got to be kidding. Every 200 hours? The AL156625 hydraulic filter is pricey indeed. Anyone find a reasonable replacement?

Thanks in advance. This site has been my savior in the past and I appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge and experience.

$30 for a WIX.. filter 57221

I'd go with the Deere..

But do you have a screen/strainer to clean at the same time? Part M806039 May be plugged with small steel bits/machining filings, etc.

You need to grease your driveshaft i bet. Its viberating because its about to explode at the ujoint. 2 grease points on it. the front one requires tearing the dash out.

Ditto.

Bummer. Didn't realize this model had the driveshaft greasing problem.

My 2210 was built with that problem. I replaced both joints with ones that have the zerk in the end of a cap. I then made openings to allow access. Plugged them with square rubber plugs bought at JD.

80 hours seems awful quick for the driveshaft to be failing. But I guess it's possible.
