2032R 50 Hours Maintenance.

3491 Views 22 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  Superglidesport
I have reached 50 hours and I am pleased I have my initial projects completed. Any tips and advice on how to proceed with the maintenance? I am looking forward to doing this after 10 years of greasing the mid U Joint on my old 2320. It should be a relatively easy procedure compared to that experience.

Check your owners manual, I don’t believe Deere recommends a 50 hour break in service anymore.

At 50 hours, did your 2032 go through its first Regen?

I saw what I thought was a Regen at 35, it did it twice about an hour apart. RPM goes to 1500. Is there a way to see how many Regens have occurred?

I'm not sure. Regen will be new to me. I'm trading in my 1025R for a new 2038R. I'm just waiting for the 3rd function parts to come in so they can install that and the power beyond for the backhoe.

From the 2038R manual.

Wow, I will have check my 4066 manual.
I just hit 200 hours on my 4066R and was thinking the dealer had told me bring it back at 200 hours for its first service.

Wow 400 hours on first full service is surprising, impressive really.

Back on the farm in the 80s and 90s we changed the oil in our field tractors every 100 hours occasionally would push one to 150 hours if we had time crunch or weather crunch pressing us.

I looked up my 2025R and it seems to get tied in with the 2032 and 2038Rs and looks like some contradictions to the info seen in the manual. My 2025R has about 75 hours on it and is apparently overdue for a hydraulic fluid change. That was due at 50 hours.
Fuel filters are 400 hours but there it is again oil change due at 200 hours.

I was really surprised to see 400 hours for the 2038R. I'll probably change it at 50 anyway.
Seems odd to me the hydraulics service is due at 400 hours on the 4R and is due at 50 hours on the 2R.
Yet oil changes both show 200 hours. Fuel filters also both 400 hours, mostly the same except the hydraulics. Hmmm. :unsure:

That makes no sense.

JD extended a lot of service intervals on newer models to appear more environmentally friendly I guess. I'd still be doing the 50 hour first service if it was my machine, just sayin'.

You can always do your maintenance on a shorter schedule. Usually it’s * with “or annually”. Not too many folks put 400 hours a year on their machines.

Its late so I may be reading this wrong... I didn't see anywhere that you need to change hyd oil on a 2032/2038 R at 50hrs. You need to change hydraulic suction and pressure filters initially at 50 hours. Fluid much later. Engine oil may still be a break in blend but thats up for debate. Not a fan of 200 hr intervals. I changed the engine oil and filter as well at 50 hrs as thats what ive always done. If it starts using oil I will drain and refill with break in oil. Either way I would at least change the engine oil filter at 50 also. Its cheap insurance at 12 bucks. The hyd filters take about 15 minutes to change and clean up. Have a gallon of low vis hygaurd on hand as you will lose fluid. Good luck!

It amazes me that John Deere manuals create such confusion with such an important issue as maintenance.

I wish they offered those nice filter charts for the 3-series tractors... Searched Deere.com, but could not find them. They're quite nice.

They're not so nice as far as contradicting the intervals in the owners manual but for filter parts maybe. I haven't checked to see if they are the right part numbers.
