How to Remove Front Loader on a John Deere Series 1 Tractor

We're here today to take a front end loader off of a 1025R, which is a 120R loader. First thing we want to make sure is that we're on good flat ground and we're going to apply pressure to the ground with the front end loader. Go ahead. So apply pressure to the ground.

Okay. Now we want to pull back on the joystick to allow the arm to go down to the ground.

Okay.

And in order to take off the hydraulics so that we can do what we need to do, we need to turn the tractor off, relieve the pressure.

Now the loader comes completely off of the tractor. And if you had a belly mower underneath it, you could go cut your grass without the loader being in the way. Now we want to reinstall the loader. We've gone cut our grass. We come back. Going to pull this lever here, hook it back up, make sure the tractor is in neutral, crank it up, take.

The foot off the brake, apply pressure down. Is it in the cradle on that side?

Okay, so push down.

Now we pull down here. That locks the loader onto the tractor. Now raise the loader up. Now the loader's hook to the tractor.

This is the simple steps to hooking up a front end loader on a 1025R John Deere tractor.
