john deere 5103

Used my 5103 to bush hog two nights ago. Worked fine. Parked the tractor, key out as always, now today it won't start. Gauges work along with lights and turn signals when key is turned. I do not hear the fuel pump, nor will it turn over. Checked the neutral safety by jumpering, no change. Help.

My steering cylinder on my JD 5103 is leaking bad, more like spraying. The JD dealer says there's no seal kit available and that it's a throw away cylinder. It's the double-ended cylinder just like this: John Deere Cylinder-steering RE247592 | eBay The dealer lists the cylinder around $800...

I bought this tractor new in 2005. There does not seem to be a lot of them around and most people are not familiar with it. Had a couple folks tell me it is not a JD, it is an India tractor [emoji849]. I can get basic parts for it at the dealer and in my opinion it is one of the simplest...

I recently bought a 2005 John Deere 5103. The tractor only has less than 200 hours on it. It seems to come out of 3rd gear in any range. I was just curious if any other owners have had this issue? It does not do this in any other gear. Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone I just bought a 5103 this summer with a front end loader and I love it. But I borrowed my neighbors tractor this weekend as I was cutting some trees in log lengths and the forks are a great way to handle the logs, either to move or just stick a fork under them so they are easy to...

I'm looking at a Woods 720 rotary cutter to clear a couple of acres at my place. I will have to remove many small pine trees 1 to 2 inch in diameter. The 720 is rated to cut brush up to 2 inches, but I'm not sure my tractor (JD 5103) is big enough to handle it (the cutter is a little over...

I purchased my 5103 in August. I've not had any trouble with it, yet. Had it out yesterday, temp about 37 degrees Fahrenheit, and it would not start. The battery would not even turn the engine over one full revolution. It seems like the CCA of the battery may be a little low for winter use. I...

Being new to tractor ownership, my initial assessment of needed playthings puts me in the market for a new set of hand tools. As soon as I bought a King Kutter 6' rotary cutter for our JD5103 and had to assemble it, I figured out my Craftsman 3/8" drive socket set should have been classified as...

In TX, I'm seeing package deals for these tractors with loader, 6' cutter, 6' box blade, and trailer for right around $20k. Any opinions on these two tractors or any other brands in the 50 hp range for the same price?

20 acres, 6 wooded, 2 home area..will not use tractor. About 12 acres to tend to. Currently bushhogging the 12, moderate slopes, would say 8 acres fairly flat with 4 hilly and of that 1acre very sloped. FEL work would make up less than 10% of use of time. In future would like to fence in and...

Saw an add for JD 5103 from "Greensouth" dealers ( Southern JD dealers... Jd 5103 at 12999.00 Seems like an awfully good price for a 50hp machine. If I was buying today.. I think I'd have to leave blue... Anyne's opinion on these units and that price. I take it this is an 'economy'...
