Ok, a little further research and I think answered my own question. The big ball sits behind the two small balls. That is what made sense in my head, but the assembly instructions did not read that way to me.

I have a 2000 model JD 5105 with 2 rear hyd remotes. A while back the regen valve (#2) would go down, but not up. The lever was actually bound up and would not move when I pulled back on it. It pushed down fine. It worked fine the day before. I removed the cap off the front of the valve (#17)...

I have a 2000 model JD 5105 with 2 rear hyd remotes. I have a 553 loader plumbed into those rear remotes. The float valve (#1) is hooked to the loader up/dn and the other valve (#2) is the bucket curl. Yesterday the valve that operates the curl would go down, but not up. The lever was...

My 2000 JD 5105 (45 hp) had an over heating issue almost exactly a year ago. I flushed and replaced the thermostat and all seemed good. A few days ago I was bush hogging and saw the temp gauge in the red. I shut down and got it back to the shed the next day and blew out the radiator. Tried...

Bearing on a chopper on a Do-All went out. How does the silver piece on the shaft come off? I think the piece next to it is a collar to keep the chopper centered? The bearing housing is on the ground. It is a John Deere Do-All. Thanks

2014 5085e cab and H260 loader. 3 rear remotes and corner exhaust. 500 hours and about a year left on warranty. Tractor is in good shape. Asking 45k Good price or no?

I have a JD 5105 4wd (45hp version). I would like to add a hydraulic side link for my BB and rear blade. Couple of questions: 1. What size cylinder and what stroke length? 2. Where did you get the cylinder? (I know that I may need to to weld some new ends.) 3. Can I just go with a tilt...

I have a 2000 JD 5105 that started running hot. Coolant level looks good and I have cleaned out the radiator. The gauge gets to red fairly quickly. If I shut it down, I can try it again in a few minutes and the gauge will show normal. Will run normal for a few minutes, then get back into the...

Having some problems with the headlights on my 2000 JD 5105. Have narrowed it down to the ground. The manual says the ground for the headlights is on the right side by the battery. but I am not seeing it. Anybody know where that connection is located?

I am trying to figure out why the headlights on my 2000 JD 5105 are not working. I have a short somewhere. The lights would blink on an off as you hit bumps, but now they don't work at all. Now for the part that is odd to me (as an electrical novice). When I remove the bulb and put my meter...

I have a "The Hollow" 300 spreader. Anyone have an online source for parts? Ken Sweet you there?

I purchased the blade in the pic (TuflineGB4-84) over the weekend. It appears to be a great blade, but I would like to add hydraulic tilt and offset. The offset is pretty simple, just remove the ratchet and add a cylinder. But, the tilt may be a little more complicated (or I am just not...

I have a mi-t-m pressure washer (with a briggs and stratton Intek 206 engine). The washer pump appears to have locked up. Anybody know how the pump connects to the engine? Does it just slide onto the engine shaft or is there a pin/bolt/key that holds it on? I removed the 4 bolts that bolt...

Found some 3x3x3/8 angle for a good price. I want to build a 7' Dura Grader type grader/plane for my 45hp JD5105. Will this material be sufficient for the cross pieces that hold the cutting edges? Also would like to use it for the cross pieces on the frame. Thanks

I have an old Sidewinder Pto ditcher that I inherited. Inside the gearbox it has a big single chain. The oil in it is contaminated and I want to clean it out and put some fresh oil in. Problem is, the company is out of business and I don't know what type of oil to use. Any idea wha type of...
