Hi there, I was hoping to get the opinion of others on the forum. I currently own a JD 5205 that is about 12 years old with 3500h. It has been split 3 times due to the PTO clutch burning up. I have been told that it was due to the MX10 shredder that I use on it. After the second time, I...

Hi all, I am working on installing new electrical installation for my 5020 and noted that the SCV valve (the one in front of the dash, not the quick couplers in the back) is leaking significantly between the housing and cover. I am wondering whether this is something I could rebuild myself or...

I recently installed the rear lights on my 5205. Everything worked fine and today while driving the tractor to put away, the rear lights started flashing irregularly and then eventually quit. The flashing arrow lights on the dashboard now no longer flash, but stay lit on constantly when I turn...

It is time for me to upgrade my shredder. I currently own a JD MX10 which I have been using on a JD 5205. This has been too small for shredding about 250 acres of pasture. I am looking for a new 15' shredder with a 1000 PTO to put on my JD 5020 (133hp PTO). I researched the topic as much as I...

I had the engine in the 5020 rebuild last year, the head was machined and checked for cracks. I noticed working on the tractor a few days ago that there was white exhaust coming from the blow-by tube - is that normal? Also, I feel like I can smell coolant from the exhaust - I am not sure of this...

Did some more work on the 5020 over the past few days. I replaced the old leaking steering valve with a rebuilt one and rebuilt the throttle mechanism. I run into some problems with adjustment of the latter and was hoping I could get some help from the forum users. I have not done any...

Hi all, I need to replace a leaking hydraulic line (from SCV to underneath dash) and was hoping to use a steel line similar to the original. I am having trouble finding one online, however. Does anyone have a good source for these. I had replaced a couple of old leaking lines with the standard...

I am sorry, I made a mistake attaching 1 of the images. Please see below the cost breakdown of the harness.

Yes, I have fender mounted lights with 2 lights per fender. I also have 1 work light in the back. Is this sufficient or should I put more? I do have the housing cups and rubber seals. Attached is the cost of various parts of the harness - I think it would total about 600-700$, this is not cheap...

This is my current situation on the tractor. I think this will require hubs and rims. Most people I see run duals here on their tillage tractors.

Hi there, just wondering what make, model, size of a field cultivator you would recommend to use with a Deere 5020 tractor (approx 140hp). I have a Deere twa disc plow that I use for first pass or two but am looking for something to use afterwards to smooth the field further prior to planting. I...

What is the optimal diesel engine oil pressure of a tractor? I have a gauge hooked up to the oil sensor site following engine rebuild of the 5020 but am not really sure what the pressure there should be. I noted that at the beginning it is about 40PSI at full throttle but as the engine reaches...

I finally got around to installing the roll gard and fenders on the 5020. I had to make some modifications to the fenders: - I cut out holes (I used a template from another 5020 owner) that the vertical bars pass through - I cut off the inner 2 brackets on each fender as these were not wide...

Hi all, The 5205 has been a great tractor thus far. All of a sudden, it will not start - I have not had this problem before. The tractor cranks well. There is fuel in the tank and in the final filter but it will not start. Is this a possible electric problem or a bad injection pump? I looked at...
