John Deere 1025R First Service. You Can Do It

This is a hands-on, DIY first-service walkthrough on a 1025R at 100 hours, done by the owner in his own garage. It covers popping the hood/side panels, draining and refilling engine oil (2.9 quarts, specific filter part number), replacing both fuel filters, and cleaning the air filter/dust cover, including a candid fuel-spill mishap. Grease and transmission service are left for later. Useful for owners planning their own first service.
