So I am coming up on 50 hrs on the 1025R and thought I'd do an oil change. I know they say you can wait til 100hrs but what the heck! So I purchased the oil filter from Deere this am #M806418. When I look at the one that came on the tractor it seems to be larger in diameter than the new one. Not much mind you, but different enough that the filter wrench that fits the new filter will not fit the new..Is this normal?

Same experience years ago with my 2520.

Yanmar probably uses their own filter when the engine is assembled.

Use a pair of channel lock pliers to remove , model 440 is my favorite.

That #M806418 filter fits about 257 different Deere applications and it is the correct filter for the 1 series. Just make sure the filter matches the O ring surfaces and it will be fine.

Several different filters work on these small Yanmars. In fact, one I like to run on the 455 is a Honda filter and it's blue, but it has extra depth of about 1", which means a little more filter capacity, plus they are very good filters. The extra length doesn't matter on the 455 but does make a difference on some machines for clearances.

As long as the O ring seals line up exactly and the filter has the same center threading, which is pretty common it's fine. Make sure when you pull the original filter, watch to make sure you get the O ring with the old filter. Sometimes, since they are machine installed on the new engines without putting any oil on the O ring, it will stick to the block surface when you remove the first filter. Dual O rings will result in a filter leak.....Plus, the new filter is usually on pretty tight, also causing the O ring to be left behind when the filter is removed.

Yes that is "normal".

I've got both wrenches that fit the two sizes of filters that JD sells for the Gator and the Z.

Not all filters are created equal just because they physically fit your machine. Things like the presence or absence of bypass valves and strength of the internal filter media cannot be seen by casual inspection. At least on their marine line of engines, Yanmar recommends you use genuine OEM filters and frankly I think the relative cost differential makes this cheap insurance.

Wait until you buy the hydro and oil filter have them in the same bag..and mix them up. It's like "What in Thunder"?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm ready to roll as soon as it cools down just a little.

Exactly. And as far as the brand of filter, I use whatever brand the manufacturer sells. Ford truck gets Ford Motorcraft filters, Deere tractor gets Deere filters, etc. I've never lost a piece of equipment due to filtration-related issues yet. This goes for oil, fuel, hydraulic, transmission, air, etc.
