Thanks Rusty A I was able to find the sensor location thanks to your help. Got a broken wire, have to remove tank to be able to fix, so I guess I will just keep it filled instead of relying on fuel gauge.

Got an error code 14052, ground fault error on fuel level sensor. Can't find the darn thing. Downloaded a $20 WM75 repair manual but it's for prior models. Anyone know of a source good for a 2019-20 WM75 manual? Dealer wants in excess of $500 for a hardcopy.

Thanks for your reply and help. That seems to be correct. I went ahead and cleaned the radiator, screen, intercooler, etc since it was dirty. Seems to have turned off light. Only 100 hrs maintenance item is in cab air filter, so l will do that too.Thanks again!

Does anyone know what this means, manual does not define and dealer wasn't any help. Thanks

I got a warning light on that the operators manual does not define. Can't post pic for some reason. There is a display that consists of a wrench withe the word LIGHT and a zero underneath. Dealer said it means perform maintenance but what maintenence they couldn't say. Anybody know? I will try...

So I have gotten pricing from thee John Deere dealers ($48K), and done some online comparisons for New Holland, Kubota and M-F. Seems comparably equipped (55 PTO HP, 12 spd trans, cab, MFWD, loader, rear remotes), the Deere is $7-8 K less than the others? Only model I specifically remember is NH...

5303 vs 5075e I love my 2008 model 5303, but I have got to have a cab. Hearing loss is main issue, but summertime heat, humidity and bugs also factor in. Seems as though the 5075e is a newer version of the 5303, as far as size and HP are concerned. When did the emission controls etc. start...

I love my 5303, but I have got to have a cab. Hearing loss is main issue, but summertime heat, humidity and bugs also factor in. Seems as though the 5075 is a newer version of the 5303, as far as size and HP are concerned. Is this a correct assumption? Looked around a bit online for used 5303...

My hearing has degraded with age, I wear hearing aids and use Bluetooth headphones with noise suppression when operating any machinery. They help, but I have to turn the music volume way up and it's still very noisy. Would a tractor cab offer any protection worth the expense? Willing to consider...

I was cutting this morning, and after about an hour when I re-engaged the PTO to power the rotary cutter the rpm would not recover to 2400 and the engine started smoking. I applied full throttle and the rpm still did not recover. Is this a fuel problem? I'm going to check the air filters, fuel...

I replaced the fuel filter and instructions are a little vague. Loosen bleed fittings how much? The primer pump does not seem to want to work very well either. I have been throught the procedure 3 times with no luck. THe tech manual instructions are also slightly diferent from the owners manual...

The drive belt for my 42 inch mower keeps coming off the first time its engaged. Did not have this problem for first 3+ years. Its a relatively new belt and I have checked and rechecked that the belt is properly installed. I suspect maybe the tensioning spring is worn out? Any experience with...

I recently purchased a grapple for my JD 5303. Since I added the grapple, my 3-pt hitch will not completely lift the rotary cutter off the ground. I have added hydraulic oil and checked the level several times and the problem persists even with the grapple removed and hydraulic hoses...

Finally retired, need to start putting up some fence for cattle, but need advice on PHDs. Noticed some list PTO HP range, others don't, I deduce that the size auger the PHD will accommodate is limited by PTO HP? My tractor PTO HP is about 55. Figure I need larger than 12 inch auger to set corner...

Seen a couple references in the forums the last day or two on using a blanker or tarp thrown over a chain/cable to dampen said chain or cable should it snap under pulling stress. I have wondered what would be a safe way to prevent a backlash from a snapped chain, but a blanket or tarp doesn't...
