Some confusing to try to follow this thread.

But hope you discover the problem.

I agree. I think if I were ralph, I would say: "My oil filter appears to be leaking. I replaced it, tightened it a little tighter, and it appears to still be leaking. Please fix"

I'm ready to trade this assembly-flawed tractor back in. Only one that JD seems to have that I'd want is the 2025. It has 2 side brakes like my JD 4010 had. Not sure it has the FATAL design fuel filter under foot or not. Can't imagine ever being able to change that fuel filter out in the winter if it happened to get plugged with wax or crud when moving snow.

The outcome: JD found a leak on the back side of the fuel injector.

I'm getting a new 2025. Did a comparison against B3201. The JD lost grossly in the comparison, but I didn't go with the Kubota because it's a new model, etc. Can see this in another post.

The 2025 DOES NOT have the underfoot fuel filter. Same fuel filter on the engine as the 1025. If I was keeping the 1025, I'd replace the fuel filter with a shut-off valve.
