    5045D Toplink length

    I am running a JD MX6 rotary cutter on my 5045D. Am I supposed to be able to fully shorten the toplink with all of the threads screwed fully in? As it is, I can not shorten the toplink enough so that the rear of the mower is a few inches higher than the front when lowered to mowing height. It...

    5045d dash issues

    Hi folks, I have a 2012 JD5045d, 450hrs. Gas gauge works when the tank is full, tach works when it feels like working. Sometimes that could be in the heat or cold weather.

    Oil & Fuel  John Deere 5045D Tachometer

    My tachometer wouldn稚 work until the tractor had sufficiently warmed up. I recently performed the transmission/hydraulic oil interval and now the tachometer works perfectly every time. There was some water in the oil. Coincidence? Does the tachometer have anything to do with hydraulic fluid?

    Intersting 4wd version of the 5045d w/ front blade

    I stumbled upon this video on youtube of a 5045D from India with what appears to be a 4000 series MFWD front axle. Also has a neat looking dozer blade. My guess is it's not for loader applications though, probably wouldn't hold up to the 500 series loaders (looks like very few tractors have...
