Hey sully, mine was shifting in and out of gear hard and I found a video on YouTube that showed a nut under the seat that needs adjusting. Basically if you raise the rear wheels and they move forward or reverse without the pedal being pressed, this nut needs to be adjusted so it the wheels don’t move without pressing the pedal.

this was the case for me. I adjusted it, and it now shifts perfectly. It no longer wants to keep creeping forward while the pedal isn’t pressed. My question, do you know what the adjustment piece is called?

@SulleyBear Just drawing attention incase you missed this.

Have a link to the video you watched ? … 🤔

Yup, right here:

Just had a brake Bell crack failure on my 2017, 1025R tractor, with cab. Shortly after working in a situation where the brakes were very important, I was fortunate enough to be on level ground in my driveway when the brakes failed. If it would have failed half an hour earlier, the tractor would have been upside down in a lake.
Examining the part I would not put a similar one back on. Instead I had a welding shop fabricate a replacement Bellcrank out of steel. How John Deere can provide a poorly-engineered part for their tractors it's beyond me.

If you have ever failed to have the transmission in gear and roll over a hill, you understand that sinking feeling that this can end badly. Now imagine the brakes have failed, same loss of control x -10

The same part has cracked on my 2025R multiple times over the years including very recently. It is terrifying when it happens, especially if you are on a slope. I am FURIOUS that JD has not taken this serious. The local shop had no sympathy for me when I told them about this recent episode.

If there aren't any ramifications for failure to update / upgrade this , part, why would JD want to spend the money?. It doesn't affect a pending sale, just us, who have already purchased the tractor. It shouldn't take an injury or loss life to correct this situation

I believe this has been previously reported on the forum. I seem to recall there's also an improved replacement part available through JD.

Any chance of you finding this improved replacement part available through JD?
i found the same old CAST part for $100.00!
I did send an email to JD as suggested by apseydeere.
No injuries from this was being very lucky as I used the bucket to stop me on a slope.

That's a very wide swath of tractor owners affected!

I'd love to see a recall over the old style "parking brake".

I remember the OP in this article having two threads on unsafe items. The tone reminded me of someone ginning for a class action lawsuit.

I hope this will be something users can do themselves or else it'll take years to get machines into a dealer for the fix.

AND, the local dealer will require payment of $200 EACH WAY transportation charge to move the machine for repair.

Aaaaaaand time to go check my build date. I think I'm a 2023 build on mine, but I'll want to be sure.

 

[Aaron445]

This probably affects me. I wonder what their fix will be, and why it doesn’t affect tractors built after Sept 2022.

Agree on transport cost being a concern. Probably cost more than the replacement part that I could install myself.

At least we're running hydrostatic, not geared, so we DO have braking capability even if the actual physical brake fails.

As long as it's in gear. If not you're in for a hell of a ride!

Check your bellcrank with photos.if it's made from pot metal, beware. Part # LVU31387.
