Good for existing 1025R owners doing their own annual service.
An independent 1025R owner filming his own DIY maintenance, casual and unpolished with no dealership affiliation evident.
Unlock the wheels, start the tractor in neutral, lift the deck with the lever, make sure it is flat on the ground, reach under and flip the lever down, then put it in four wheel drive and back up.
The transcript gives part number LVU34503 for the current air cleaner mounting arrangement on the 1025R.
About 98% of the time it is the fuel filter underneath the floorboard getting clogged, so check and replace it if it looks dark instead of beige.
The height is set by stepped cams; lift the deck up first, turn the height adjustment knob to the setting you want, then lower the deck so it rests correctly on the cam steps.
