Looks like you snapped off a pressure sensor or switch. See if the other half is hanging on the wires. Looks also that it's on the trans not the engine as I first thought.

You are in the wrong forum. The 1025 is a SCUT and you will get bettert answers in that forum. This one is for the smaller garden tractors. Roger

 

Pretty sure that is not the drain plug. Go to the Deere parts catalog site to see some pictures. But I agree with @Trentofdestiny that it is probably a switch/sensor and the red plastic is probably part of it.

You will likely need to remove the old one which will probably lose some fluid. You might want to take the time to change the fluid, since it might be hard to get the new one in without losing quite a bit of fluid. You also should thoroughly clean all the area around it before taking it out as you don't want to accidentally get any dirt in the system.

 

It's a little tough to get a proper orientation as the photo is crooked and a bit too close but I think it is part #28 in the illustration below. If so, it appears like part #30 is missing.

 

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. The broken piece and the oil filter are not on the same axis as in your pic. I think it is #19 on this diagram.

shouldn't be hard to figure out if that's neutral start switch!

 

actually I noticed that someone jumped the wire out and taped it, so I didn't see the wire until I looked for it, so maybe the switch was broken prior ro me getting it.

 

Assuming there should a wire hanging that shouldn't be hanging if its a switch.? 🤔
That should be a clue..

 

Just a note - if you find yourself hooking stuff that rips wires off of sensors and switches down by the transmission - you may wish to invest in a skid-plate for the transmission for when you do that kind of work....
otherwise, if you ride up onto a rock with your aluminum transmission case, and crack it - you'll be looking at a $2000-$4000 repair.

 

Yeah, if you plan on ever doing this kind of work again, you should get skid plates. While the 1 series has significantly greater clearance than even an X738 (let alone the X739) it is still very easy to cause very expensive damage very quickly. I have a CUT and there are parts that are pretty easy to damage, but they are more than a foot above the ground. It also has a cast iron transaxle. The 1 series has stuff several inches lower and not quite as strong.

Folks also need to be periodically reminded that these are sub-compact tractors, not Skidders.

 

Welcome to MTF Steve 1025R! As you can see lots of info and great members to help and share with, enjoy the site! I moved your thread to the JD SCUT forum so that you will have folks that know the machine better. Here is some site navigation assistance in case you need it:

 

Yeah, there are other forums where people like to say even CUTs are not real tractors. But then not everyone needs something the size of Big Bud

Glad I could be of assistance. I actually don't know much about the 1 series. I belong in the category of people who really badly want one but have no money, space, or purpose for one [emoji1787]
