It covers shutting off fuel, draining the water separator bowl, swapping both the primary filter and the second fuel filter behind the side fender (including the part number MIU803127), plus a quick belt inspection and leak-check restart. Best for owners doing this exact maintenance job themselves.
Appears to be an owner-operator demonstrating maintenance on their own tractor rather than a dealer or sponsored channel.
Turn off the fuel valve, drain the water separator bowl, swap the primary filter, then remove the side fender to access and replace the second fuel filter, part number MIU803127.
John Deere recommends replacing the fuel filter every 200 hours, though the tractor in this video was at 430 hours when serviced.
Remove the front fender bolt, undo a 10 millimeter nut and bolt on the back side, undo the left pin, then slide the fender off.
Inspect the belt for debris or damage, apply fuel to the new gasket before installing, and check for leaks after restarting the tractor.
