If it was a known problem JD should have given you the parts at no cost. My humble opinion.

Thanks Tim for your constant interest in helping individuals with making the JD 1025R better.

Hi Tim, The fact that the original bracket failed, and the replacement was made at what looks to be 50% thicker and it still failed. I feel that this really should be a recall as this is a design issue as opposed to a normal wear part. An air cleaner bracket is something that should last the normal lifetime of the machine. Even worse that you had to pay for it. I think I would recommend that you contact Deere directly.

Had my hood up today. I hate the new way you open the hood with the key but I like the new filter mounting. Thanks for showing this to people who need it.

Thank you for this info. I really enjoy your videos. you have helped me tremendously with my decision to not only purchase my 1025R but you have also been a tremendous help in maintaining my tractor as well. Thank you so much and please keep posting.

Thank you Tim for this update. My 1025R didn't even have 100 hours on it and the rubber air cleaner strap broke. That was under warranty. I'll keep a check on my metal bracket. Y'all take care and God bless.

Thank you Tim! I had been reading up on it and my dealer is working to find out more. I was wondering on how tough the install would be and you just showed it. It will be done in the near future.

Hey Tim, funny story, my local Deere dealer dropped off a new 2018 1025R at my house to try out for a day, we were standing there talking about the tractor and I mentioned your name and he knew exactly who you were! He also watches tractor time with Tim! Thank you for your videos.

Just followed this video to replace the air filter on a 2017 1025. Many thanks for the walk through. Original bracket failed at 358 hours. Fortunately no engine damage. Repair parts are up to ~$250. Easy install with your help!

I just got this repair done by John Deere on my 2017 1025r. I have 214 hrs on it, and had already went through 3 straps to hold the air cleaner on, one I had them warranty. I called my dealer and informed them of this solution, and asked them to contact John Deere to see if they could offer any assistance in the solution. I also told them I would buy the parts if John Deere was unwilling to help. John Deere said they would take care of it as long as the dealer installed it. The dealer sent a tech out to my repair shop to install it. This was the first time this tech had installed this solution. I showed him this video for reference,and it helped him complete the repair. Thanks Tim for this information.

Thanks so much! 2016 model broke after 40 hour maintenance. When vibrating, shacking the engine stalls. Cajun rigged to get by, now will get the upgrade. Was able to do 200 hour maintenance at 100 hours and replace the old poorer designed bracket.

I talked to my dealer about this after I was back in there for a 4th air filter strap. The service manager told me about the update kit, but said that john deere wasn't treating it as a recall just quite yet. But was selling the kit to anyone interested. I keep a constant eye on mine so that I don't damage anything.

The original 1 Series 1026R came with the air filter mounted the same way the "new" fix for the 1025R is being mounted. I suspect after the 1026R was such a success, John Deere re-engineered the filter as a cost saving move. I have over 600 hours on my 1026R and haven't had any issue as to how the air filter is mounted. Watching Tim's video, it does look like the metal strap that holds the filter housing is not as robust as the ones made for the 1026Rs. Thanks Tim for your great video(s). I also like your new bigger tractor. :)

I have a 2017 1025r. My dealer looked up my tractor serial number and handed me the kit to update the air filter at no charge. For audit purposes he asked for the old parts back after I installed the new kit. All done and happy I have a great Green Dealer up here in Maine.

I have a 2017 and it has the new style push rivet to remove the side panel. And my kit did not come with any instructions at all so this video helped me a bunch. Thanks for posting it.

Looks very nice, the new air cleaner! Nothing better than new parts!

Great video Tim. After watching your video I went down to my John Deere dealer where I purchased my 1025r and asked them about this bracket problem. Told them my bracket was broken (although it is not, YET) and they were just gonna give me another bracket. Your right, I had to inform THEM about this solution #113718. After they looked into it, they are ordering the parts for me and parts will be covered under the warranty at no charge. My machine is only 8 months old. I wanted to make sure I got this fix BEFORE my warranty expires and/or my valve cover breaks. I have no problem paying for add ons or anything like that but this should be a recall and made free to all but John Deere is to greedy so I am sticking it to them while I can.

Hello Tim, thank you for your very helping videos. Long time fan. I knew about this air filter assembly problem a long time ago from my tractor dealer. Which by the way, provided me with a box with all the needed parts, free of charge. Courtesy of John Deere I guess. My "little Johnny” is a 2015 model and I finally got to 200 hours. So, with your videos’ help, I have been doing that 200 hours maintenance job and finally got to replace that old filter. I kept an eye on that old filter assembly throughout and never broke down or anything. But as I replaced the assembly, I noticed a harness of wires right behind the filter’s assembly and noticed that, probably because of vibration from the filter, it had chaffed the harness’ plastic to the point of stripping the plastic bare all the way to the copper. I wrapped that with a few layers of electrical tape. I can only guess I probably would have ended with bold wires if I had not replaced that air filter assembly. Thank you.

Thanks Tim, I didn't even know that there was a problem. As always, your videos are very informative.

Good to know. My 1025r has 187 hours on it.... I better go see if mines broken yet. Great videos!

Where the bracket bolts on originally is the intake manifold. The manifold has broken and let pieces go into the engine. That n/m torque looked spot on to me. I replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. My salesman didn't know anything about the update on the new tractors had to show him. You needed the flip flop farmer to translate some of that technical jargon you had to deal with. Great video, thanks.

Hi Tim, I was at our local dealer last Friday looking at used 1025r's. They had a 2017 with just over a 100 hours. I opened the hood and saw that it had the updated air cleaner assembly. When I asked the salesman about that he said the cylinder head and valve cover had to be replaced as the previous air cleaner bracket had broken the valve cover and metal had fallen into the engine. I ended up buying a used 2014 1025R with 150 hours at another dealer the next day. I'm ordering the parts for the new air cleaner bracket today.

Probably should post this for everyone to see. When I was at the dealership to get my air filter strap and we were talking about the new air filter kit, the service manager told me that he just had a 1025r come in with a blown motor. What had happened was the air filter bracket came loose where it mounts to the valve cover and eventually shattered the cover. So all the little pieces of aluminum fell into the motor and locked it up. Now according the "My local Deere dealer", this was covered under the tractors warranty. So it got fixed. I had this same problem when I bought my 1025r, but I noticed the loose nuts very soon, and took care of it with some blue loctite and proper torque spec. I haven't had any issue with that plate coming loose ever again. So moral of the story is keep an eye on your air filter bracket and assembly.

Tim, I just installed the relocation kit on my 2019 1025R the only issue I noticed is my tractor has a slotted guard apparently to shroud the cooling fan, ( I don’t see this guard on your tractor) the top of that guard was slightly rubbing the new canister and in 30 seconds of running the engine it had already rubbed a small spot on the canister lid. I took a cutoff wheel and trimmed enough off the guard so it would not touch the canister. Not only was it rubbing but there was not enough clearance to get the lid off the canister to change the filters without removing the whole canister. Just thought I’d mention this in case other viewers run into this issue.

Tim, thanks for the video. I was about to call my dealer to order the air cleaner update and associated parts. But now, after looking at my bracket compared to yours. mine is totally different. Where the 90 degree bend is, mine has a 1/2" thick gusset welded on to help reinforce it and then the bracket comes up and over the top and partially around my air cleaner housing. Yours looks like it would have to go under the housing and around. Also, mine is one solid piece, where yours has that slotted "U" shape in the bracket. My 1025R tractor was built in July of 2013. Quite surprising. I wish I could attach the pictures I took, somehow.

Should add mine is a 2017 1025r.

I had the same issue with my 1025R the broken piece went into the fan in the front and almost caused major damage.

In speaking with my JD dealer regarding the air cleaned update, I was advised that it is a recall and a free replacement, at least for some period into the near future.

I have a 2017. Same as yours. The 18s I have looked at have the new style

I bought my 1025r in April 2018 and it has the updated air cleaner system.

Nice video. Good step by step.

I’ve always been loyal to John Deere and grew up around many of their tractors and equipment as a kid but I remember when I bought my 445 about 20 yrs ago there were many stories going around about plastic cam failures. When I approached my dealer and John Deere about this they claimed there were no such failures and I knew of at least 2 that my dealer worked on. I wasn’t so irritated about the cam issue but more so concerning their honesty as I just wanted to get it fixed before it caused bigger issues. Sometime later I just ordered the whole kit and repaired it myself.

I had just found a stud on the mower deck. Plus I heard a different noise while mowing.....more rattle and extra engine noise. One stud and nut was out and the other two loose. So I hope nothing else happened. So off to have a lookl

Much more sensible design. Attaching it to the engine was not terribly smart. I welded mine back together and it's still holding, but good to know this exists. They should make it available for free to owners. Thanks for the vid!

I sent in my1025r for a final warrenty check. They changed the upper shaft due to ware but they didnt want to tell me what they changed or what the problem was. They also turned up the idle speed. When the air cleaner strap broke my dealer told me to keep the idle up. So yes this prevents the violent movent of the air breather but now it seems that I burn more fuel. Now I will have to talk with my dealer about the update since my tractor was on warrenty.

Well I didn't want to spend another $250. Well when I was doing the filter replacement the rubber strap broke. So I went to look up a new strap I stumbled on to this potential of catastrophic engine damage. Sad that JD would not offer this relocation kit free for a known issue.

Engine vibration is what causes the breakage

Thanks Tim..... Great video. My 1025R (2015 model) has about 217 hours so I may be due if it is the same type of strap connection. While mowing one day, I heard a rattle coming from the engine compartment. The strap that goes around the air cleaner came loose. Don't know how as it is quite tight when connected. Not certain if all are like this, but my strap where it connects at the approx failure point is attached by spring loaded wire to the rubber strap from the bracket. Are all like this or is this a dealer solution, (as I had some warranty work by my dealer on my steering @ 90 hours and they may have changed it (approx July 2016)?

This just happened to my 1025R. Called my dealer yesterday. His response was that "It has been a year since I last handled one of these, but you are the second this week. The part is currently on back order (the newer modified setup), and that he will order it for me. There is no cost, unless I had them come to my house to either pick up the tractor or they worked on it at my house." Dropping it off to them means no cost to me. He said it did not matter if it was or was not under warranty. John Deere considers this fix a "Repair upon failure." Fortunately the air cleaner and associated tubes are all firmly connected--so as long as I monitor that I think I can still use it. Not recommended by the dealer, of course, but when you have a John Deere, its hard to keep off of it for long!

Well the way the engine shakes at idol I wonder just how those engineers thought that kind of mount would handle the vibartions

My 1026 doesn’t have the bracket but a rubber strap designed to secure the air cleaner, however this strap stretches over time and the air cleaner vibrates.

Since I already paid for the repair parts, getting my money back would be a long shot. But, thanks for the follow up.

Hope that puts an end to the air cleaner problems... I would have thought JD would have notified it's registered owners and even perhaps offered the upgrade at a discount as it certainly looks like a design issue.

Will this new air cleaner canister still use the original air filter or will you need to purchase a different air filter size?

Took a look and found that the bungee cord holding the air filter was missing, looked further and found the bracket cracked holes in the top of the engine and several pieces of plastic fell into the intake. Those misfires were little bits either in the combustion chamber or blocking the air intake. End result- John Deere is replacing the whole engine free of charge under warranty. What surprises me is they have the dealer mounting it at the exact same spot but using some composite material that is supposed to be stronger then the metal bracket previously used.. Am I missing something? Why risk this mounting location again if all they have to do is put it on the fan shroud?

Yes, I’m surprised they are not using the farm shroud mounting.

@@TractorTimewithTim Update again, I think they realized it was not worth the risk and ended up mounting it on the fan shroud. Phew, lol

I am in the process of buying a 1025r. I noticed the air filter bracket had not been addressed. They are aware of the issue. In fact, they said they had had to replace an owner’s engine. Deere picketed up the bill and it was significant.

Thanks for the feedback.

Bought my 1025r in January of this year. It was a 2017 model that had been kept inside the dealership as a display so looks brand new. It has, of course, the old model air cleaner set-up. Had been following this thread prior to purchase and so provided my dealer a link to this video and all the parts numbers, solution number, etc.... Dealer contacted me the next day and said no problem it's a free fix on them - only question was did I want them to come and get it or would I be OK with getting all the parts from them and doing it myself. Having seen this video I said 'sure I'll be happy to do it myself', and did! If you've asked your dealer about this and been told you have to pay for it, well, that's unfortunate - but if you haven't talked to them and just moaned on here about it then it's on you and if you have a great dealer like I do you just might be pleasantly surprised. You won't know until you ask.

Dean, it has taken time, and this video to educate the dealers. It is getting better now.

@@TractorTimewithTim Your series, and this one in particular, have made all the difference - thanks for that! My salesman was not aware of these TTWT videos before I told him and now he's a fan! I especially appreciate the positive take you have on some of the issues and challenges that you come across on these tractors. I also know I'm lucky to have a good dealer - not everyone does - but I also think going in to meet and talk with them (other than to complain) so as to establish a friendly working relationship makes a difference. I retired from a career that involved dealing with the public every day - they ranged from those who treated me as a fellow human to complete raging a-holes...guess who got the better service....;) Keep it up Tim, your TTWT site is an oasis in the vast negative ocean of the internet.

that not right that john deere doesn`t do all they can to help people like yourself to keep up on all the different changes to there equipment. great video tim, to bad john deere didn`t do one.to help you and others.

If you want to save your compact tractors (no matter what brand) some grief don't let them low idle. Just to much vibration. I never let mine go below 1200 rpm. For my tractor vibration starts below 1200. They are diesels they can sit and run all day at max rpm so don't worry about a little higher idle speed. Hope this helps some of you with metal fatigue problems.

Unfortunately the 1025 idles at 1550 rpm. However it shakes bad at idle and I always raise mine to just under 2000 to smooth it out. You are correct though majority of vibration at idle and also a hard shake when shut down.

thanks

Ask JD for a good answer.

That's interesting that you never got a notice on a common issue. I have just a G110 rider and I had the mowing deck tensioner bracket break and the dealer asked surprised I didn't receive a notice, bought new bracket,,,,, it broke so I welded 2 pieces of steel top and bottom over the break and it's held for years now. Anyway funny how deere hides that stuff.
