    2007 JD 2305 Mower Deck Lift

    You need the Independent Lift Kit which is a hydraulic cylinder with a hose and maybe some mounting hardware. The mechanical lift with the 3-point hitch is removed so the 3-point arms stay put when you raise/lower the mower deck. I plugged the Lift Kit hose into the Black hydraulic port because...

    1025R Engine to Transmission Drive Shaft Grease

    I have the same problem on my 2025R with the 4" Lock-n-Lube. It works for some people but not me. I've micro-rotated the driveshaft via the flywheel but got too darned tired out trying to get the right angle. I was able to use my 4" needle tip to get it greased but that won't work for you. If...

    JD2210 subcompact fuel pump failing?

    2210 only has 1 fuel filter in the separator assembly and no lift pump. I suspect, due to age of the tractor, that the fuel tank outlet is restricted. You could pull the tank or take the hose off the fuel pump inlet and check for flow and, if restricted, use air to blow it back.

    Deere 2720 Smoke issue at startup

    I vote for checking voltage to each glow plug and if OK, bench testing the glow plugs. They don't last forever.

    2025R will not crank

    Use jumper cables and see if it cranks. My old 2305's positive cable corroded inside the insulation and the cheap end was half rotted through. I had to put a new end on it. Another time, the negative cable had a rusted connection to the frame. Sandpaper fixed that. Finally the battery died. 2015...

    JD1025R lower mower but not three point

    Independent lift option would cure your problem.

    JD 2305 HST temperatures?

    Mowing 7 acres with a 60C deck would take 4-6 hours so it will get hot. Your tractor doesn't have an "oil cooler". The transmission is air cooled. Check the fan on the rear of the driveshaft for broken blades or if it spins freely on the driveshaft spline.

    1025R Normal Engine Temp

    I have a 2018 2025R (same engine as your 1025R) and in winter, the temp gauge is about the width of the needle off the post. In 80 degree summer, it may get 2-3 needles worth. The only people that have problems with the temperature are those with heated cabs. They either block most of the...

    Oil & Fuel JD 5105 filter location hidden

    That's the one but the dealer's service documents didn't show it and they did not replace it when they did the 50 hour service. I pointed it out and got the deer in headlights look. I doubt they will come out and change it for free and due to surgery, I can't do it right now. I'm thinking of...

    2018 2025R Glow Plugs

    I have a 2018 2025R that starts with a cloud of blue/white smoke and rough idles for about 5 seconds with one final puff of smoke. This started around 25 hours. I added Sea Foam figuring bad fuel or dirty injector but it still does it at 31 hours. I even cycled the ignition switch 3 times to get...

    2025R Temp Gauge

    I have a 2018 2025R with 17 hours that has a temp gauge that never gets above 1/4 when warmed up. Can someone out there tell me what their gauge reads when it's warmed up? 3 times after mowing on 80-90 degree days, I've pulled back in the garage to find antifreeze on the boot of the 4WD shaft...
