Record the machine before ordering
- Photograph the tractor’s model and PIN plate.
- Record the engine model and serial number from its own label.
- Write down the loader, mower deck, hitch, and attachment model numbers separately.
- Note visible options or changes made by a previous owner; an attachment may have been added after the tractor was sold.
Use those identifiers to select a publication or parts diagram whose listed serial range includes your tractor. Do not use a horsepower label or a listing for a similar 1 Series model as a substitute for the PIN.
Deere’s is a publication for the 1023E and 1025R. Check the publication revision and PIN applicability against the plate on your tractor before using its specifications or service steps.
Check a proposed attachment as a complete setup
