I have a 2012 built JD5065e. It is a Tier 2 machine. Are the fuel injectors mechanical or electrical? Is there an ECU that controls the injectors? My tractor runs fine but just wondering how it is controlled compared to a Tier 4 machine. I don’t even know If there is an ECU on my tractor. I...

Thanks. Last year I performed the maintenance check on my Bush Hog slip clutch. It has you loosen the springs to verify it slips. Then re-tighten them to a specified compression dimension.

I have a 2012 5065e. It is the 9 x 3 TSS Transmission. Everything runs fine. Occasionally, if I move the PTO lever too quickly engaging, I will get a momentary (1 second) squealing noise. It Sounds like a belt slipping on a pulley. I am unaware there is a belt in the power transfer path. Is this...

Anyone got a long term fix for corrosion of battery tray? Seems the battery inevitably will vent off some liquid in Summer operation and it always results in tray corrosion. Eventually it looks like the tab that the tie-down rods pull against, will corrode away. I have sanded and primed/painted...

I have a 2012 5065e. My original instrument panel fogged up early on. When exposed to sunlight or humidity drop it seemed to clear up. I could always see the instruments (tach, fuel level, coolant temp, etc). Eventually my tachometer quit working. The dealer service tech said the failure was the...

I have a 2012 Tier 2 JD5065e tractor with the 9x3 TSS transmission, 4WD, no cab. Does my tractor have an ECU? If so, where is it located? I put my serial number (1PY5065ELCB009897) in the JD Power Assist parts catalog and it indicated an ECU only for the Power Reverser models. When it found my...

My tractor is a Tier 2 machine. My hour meter is the mechanical wheel type, NOT and LCD display. I had a dealer Tech make a reference to a possible software update for my Tier 2 (build date 12-4-2012) 5065E. I am not a as well versed as many of you guys by a long shot. Please tell me there is...

I took a picture of my very muddy rear wheel on my 2013 5065E. There is a pair of holes near each of the 4 inner disc to rim attachment points. One hole is square and one is round. Additionally, there is a pair of round holes (making 10 holes total) that forms a line that bisects the center of...

I love my Tier II 5065e so its not an issue for me. But for you guys that have Tier 4 machines and follow this emissions issue, what do you think of Mahindra and them making an engine with no DPF, no DEF and no Regen? I am an Engineer and find this intriguing. I am sure JD Engineers have their...

I have a 2013 5065E, 4WD. The MFWD axle has no zerks on the U-joints . Are these sealed and permanently lubricated? How long will the U-Joints last without lubrication ability? Thanks

Getting ready to do the first PTO clutch cable adjustment. My tractor is the 9x3 transmission with PTO lever on left side of seat. Is the adjustment Yoke easy to access? Do you need to remove any cover or disassemble anything? I am going to do the foot clutch adjustment as well and I see that is...

The attached metal sign picture was given to me by a friend from Church whose father ran a John Deere dealership in Monroe NC many years ago. I don’t know where he got it but he knew I had a JD tractor. Just thought I would share with Deere fans. A bit of nostalgia.

I am Rmiked but was rmd8136. The site would not let me log on and would NOT send new PW so I created new acct with different email. Anyway, my 2013 Tier 2 tractor has been great. This week the tachometer started bouncing around. Tx Jim told me where the speed sensor was (timing gear cover). I...
