john deere 5105

Have a 5105 that starts and runs fine. Oil pressure and battery lights work but nothing else. No dash, headlights, back lights or blinkers. Nothing! Checked fuses and all good. Help?

Front rim/tire of JD5105, I have removed for replacement and maybe rim inspect as a leak may be. I removed and it weighs a 'ton'. It will be a chore to load into the back of the truck. I removed the stem in the valve and stuck a 16penny down into it and hit some kinda black tarlike...

2000 John Deere 5105 with bucket rear blade and a 5ft bush hog. 2000 hours nice condition for its age no dents etc, now sitting idly by. With the loss of her husband she would like to sell the tractor. Any help on a rough estimate of its worth would be most welcome? Thank you.

I have seen a videos on rebuilding JD hydraulics. Are most of the JD bucket hydraulics the same general design inside or are they super specific? Does anyone have the rebuild kit numbers for a 522 loader? Thanks Jason

I thought I'd use a thread to chronicle my repair of my 5105. Today I got the loader off, pulled it into the shop, and got the hood off with the help of my kids. My plan is to get the bare minimum parts to make it run, so I can be assured that it will run, before getting the rest and tracking...

This happened Friday after brush hogging the larger areas that I keep mowed. I mowed about an hour, ate a quick dinner, and finished another 45 minutes. I parked it here and went to spray thistle on the 4 wheeler and my wife and kids yell "fire" at me. Must have been electrical, but the only...

My 5105 has the chronically bad fuel sending unit where you have to drain the tank to change it out. Not to mention pay Deere $150 for a new one. And hope it lasts maybe a year. And doesn’t leak. I’m looking at some strictly manual, spiral float gauges, that insert from a hole in the top. Gauge...

My JD 5105 has an aftermarket seat (not a great one) that needs to be replaced. I don't necessarily want to buy all of the expensive factory parts to make it stock again. It seems like there area all kinds of aftermarket seats available online, but there is very little mounting information...

Hello, I am hoping to find out if a Kubota BH75 backhoe is compatible to run from a JD 5105? Is there a subframe for the JD5105? Previous backhoe attachment ran from PTO on 5105. The Kubota BH75 appears to be solely driven by hydrolic connections?

This week I was ready to do some brush mowing and brought the JD 5105 out of the barn. I raised the mowing attachment with the 3-pt hitch control and backed out. When I tried to lower the mowing attachment it would not come down. I also noticed that it had raised the arms higher than before. I...

My John Deere 5105 with All-Wheel-Drive does not have the 3-Point hitch draft feature. I was looking though the owner's manual and the pictures which describe the draft feature versus the ones without the draft feature. Ones with the draft feature have two levers at the driver's right side to...

I have a John Deere 5105 and the hydraulics controlling the three point hitch surges. It has enough surge to rock the tractor pretty hard anytime you lift something, regardless of weight. It has a new filter and the pump was replaced 6 months ago. Any ideas?

I have a JD 5105, 2wd with adjustable front steering. It has a 512 FEL that was installed by the local JD dealership. This morning the left front spindle snapped in half, immediately behind the hub. This is the FOURTH broken spindle in two years. Has anyone else experienced this problem or heard...

I have an 05 John Deere 5105 with a 3 pt that wont lift. As I understood it the hydro pump runs the power steering and 3 pt. The steering works fine. The full story is.... this tractor sat up for a while because the injector pump went out. While that was be repaired I took the back plate...

I cant tell by sight glass if it has too much or not. What should I do. I changed the loader cylinder that had been leaking then I added about 6 gallons of new fluid. I don't want to mess anything up on itit seems to be working okay. Thanks for any assistance on this.

After some issues with starving for fuel after replacing the primary filter and checking for flow at the tank, I traced the fuel line and found an inline filter located between the steering wheel and valve cover. This required removal of the hood to change it. I知 sure it was easy to install...

hello all, first of all let me say the tractor is starting and functioning as of now BUT..... i have had the same surging problems as a recent poster with a 5103 and i do believe it is the in tank filter screen but for some reason it runs fine at 530 pto rpm for 2 to 3 hours before the surging...

Has anyone ever replace the hydraulic pump on a John deere 5105 tractor? How hard of a job is it?

The steering cylinder on my tractor was dripping fluid past the polish rod, so I ordered the repair kit and completed it today. Taking the cylinder apart wasn't too bad, but getting the new seals in place was a pain. It's not leaking anymore and hopefully it will stay that way. In the one...

I made a mistake on title. It's the F1 position (key switch) I assume I need a new switch????

I am looking at buying a John Deere 5105 at the local dealer and has a few questions. The tractor is a MFWD with loader. The tractor I am looking at has bolt on centers. Can I flip the front and rear rims to make the tractor as wide as possible without causing any damage when using loader? I...

I have a JD 5105 with approx 700 hrs. When idling after warm up, I have noticed a fairly loud "rattling, ratchet" noise that appears to be coming from somewhere on the left side of the engine. However, with just a light load on the engine (i.e. engaging the power steering by slightly turning...

My neighbor wants to sell me his tractor. Can anyone tell me if this is a good price for this tractor with the implements listed? It is in pretty good shape, dirty and a little rust on the arms of the FEL (it is kept outside) New tires this season front and rear. Oil changed every spring and...

I went out to start my 5105 yesterday and it would not start. I have 12.7 volts at the battery but tried jumping it anyway, no luck. sometimes it does nothing at all when I turn the key but most the time I can hear the solenoid click and about every 20th time it actually makes it to the starter...

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...

Hello, I'm new here and looking for some help I've purchased a used Deere 5105, it runs great but the fuel gauge seems to be stuck on full, and the flashers don't work. I've done a little investigating and found some wires that are disconnected under the tractor under the rops on the left side...

I have a John Deere 5105 and believe I am having trouble bleeding the fuel system. Here is a link to a picture of the seal from inside the hand priming pump located near the engine. This seal should be acting like a one way valve. 216-4-16_13-16-48.png - PowerWithAmbit's library It looks...

Hello all, Just introducing myself as suggested by the auto-generated admin email. I live in Central Texas, and enjoy working with my 4wd 2006 John Deere 5105 with a front end loader. Awesome tractor. Over the years, this John Deere has 'moved mountains' for me... LOTs of work...

Hi, I inherited an old John Deere 5105 when we bought a house and acreage a year ago. I've read the manual and used it several times to bush hog and drag logs. I'm not as familiar with it as I'd like to be, though. Recently I noticed what appeared to be exhaust coming out of an open-ended hose...

Starting a couple of weeks ago, the temperature gauge has both slowly, and rapidly, increased to hot and "needle pegged" with no apparent over-heated engine. Gauge shows warm up as normal, runs normal for awhile, then suddenly shoots upwards. I have flushed and refilled cooling system...

Hi, I got a 10 year old John Deere 5105 when we bought a house in January. I've read the manual, done a few maintenance checks, and used it about 15 hours to bush hog a hilly field. This evening I had my first problem. I had bush-hogged for an hour, and it had started raining for a few minutes...

I am new to the forum and don't have a lot of knowledge about hydraulics. Today the hydraulics stopped working on my 2002 JD 5105- front end loader, 3 point, and steering. It was intermittent at first and then went out. The tractor has about 700 hours on it and the filter has been changed at...

I was disking a field yesterday when my 2006 JD 5105 quit running. So far been able to determine the battery, starter & alternator are fine. There seems to be a short that blows the 30amp fuse to the key switch as soon as the key is turned on. Any ideas on where to start looking?

I have a '05 model 5105 with just under 600 hours on it. I was using it to clear under brush with the box scraper when the problem began. I was working it at an idle. It revved up slightly while I was looking backwards. I thought I had bumped the foot throttle. About a minute later it did so...

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and have a big question. I have a John Deere 5105. When in low range, everything works fine. In high range gears 1-3 work fine. The only way to get it to work in 4th gear high range is to run full throttle in 3rd and shift into 4th but the rpms start dropping...

I have a question. What is the function of the unit on the back of my 5105 tractor which seems to all be related? I have highlighted three parts of it. Ed Hahnenberg

My 5105 is acting crazy. One brake locks up when you mash the pedal, and the other will not work when you mash it. Can anyone please help !

My tractor would not start this morning. I had not replaced my battery since it was bought seven years ago. I assumed it was a dead battery. After purchasing a new battery, I discovered it was blowing the ignition fuse each time I tried to start the tractor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Last year, I could not start my tractor a couple of times. My mechanic explained that there was no fuel pump between the tank and the fuel filter and it had lost prime. He advised me to leave my tractor parked aimed downhill and with a full tank. He suggested that he replace my fuel line when he...

this is a JD 5105 MFWD 600 hour 2004 tractor, shed kept. Hasn't been started in 3 weeks. I can run through the gears when it is not running, but when running it won't go into any gear. It won't start if you put it in gear first. I believe but nto sure that it has a wet clutch. Ideas?

New to the forum. I have a JD5105 (2000 model) that had 2 rear SCV's controlled by two levers beside the seat. The tractor has a 553 loader that is plumbed into the rear remotes. Is there a way to convert this to a joystick and or mid-hydraulic set up? Can I keep the rear outlets? Not...

Looking for JD Tractor service manual

Newbie in the group, I bought my 5105 in 2000 and only experienced hydraulic prblems all else is fine. I have 380 hrs in the engine, yes I still want/need the tractor... I have replaced 3 "rock shafts" under the seat to fix the 3-point from locking up. Now the hydraulic system is getting slowly...

I admit it... am embarrassed by this question, I should be able to figure this out myself but am stumped. This is a friend's equipment, very well maintained, in fact, by dealer. She's owned equipment 5+ years, all she does with it is mow grass, she knows the equipment and how to mow, she never...

I have a JD 5105 and it seems that the fuel line freezes. I keep the fuel on full and buy fuel from reputable diesel co. Have prime and drained fuel and water seems to come out of tank. I also use Diesel 911 in cold months-anyone have any idea of why this is happening and how to correct the...

Noticed yesterday while running my JD MX6 cutter in thick grass that it quit cutting. Raised it up and it picked back up and would cut fine. Next pass when I get to the thick grass it slows or stops again. First thought was the slip clutch was slipping. Tightened up slip clutch today, sharpened...

Hi folks - sure could use some opinions here.... I have a JD 5105 tractor with MFWD made in 2004. Just this year i bought a loader - a 553. Now, when it is in MFWD, and when the loader is empty or full, and when I turn a hard left or right, the front wheels make a sound like a seal..you know...

Last night I hooked up my landscape rake to drag our riding arena, all things going well. Started up the hill and adjusted the draft control, got down and opened the gate, started to lower the rake and ?? The lever won't move up or down. Went back to the barn and took off rake, lift arms are...

OK, can't search any more. I think we've looked at every tractor in texas. Most 4 or 5 times. We went back and forth between a compact and a full size. Settled on a MFWD 5105 with a 522 on it. 2007 with 220 hours for 18k. Has a disk with it, 6 ft, dont' know what brand. Picking up a...

Hi guys - anyone know whether this loader will fit? Or is it adaptable to fit?

Hi guys - in my search for a loader for my MFWD JD 5105, I found a new (sat on the lot for years) bush hog m446 loader. the dealer called bush hog engineers who said it wont' fit. this doesnt sound right to me - anyone have this combination?

I have been saving for years. I *think* in february I will have about 4000 for a loader. tractor already has the joystick and factory plumbing for the loader, came frm factory that way. I am not sure what options are out there. I do know JD will be probably out of my range, so I am looking...

Going to look at a 2003 JD 5105 4WD this weekend. I would like any comments good or bad about this model. Overall the 5105 doesnt seem too bad of a tractor. The only thing I am on edge over is the transmission. This particular tractor does not have a loader. I plan on using this tractor...

Hi folks... I have a 5105 made around 2004 - lately (month or two) I noticed a groaning sound coming from the right rear wheel assembly when the tractor coasts to a stop - like when I dis-engage the clutch, but before I can press the foot brake pedal, the machine comes to a stop all on it's...

I found a '07 5105 MFWD w/ FEL, 70 hrs - $23,700. This seems to be a pretty slick tractor and the seems pretty reasonable. I thought I'd run it by the experts first though.:D Thanks

I wonder if the pickup screen could be clogged? How do I get to the pickup screen to clean it? Thanks for any help.

Was looking at a 5105 recently and noticed that the rear axles had been extended away from the housing, about three inches each, and was taken aback at first. The owner said they did this for "some" gardening they did...must have been a big garden...but of course now the front and back tires are...

Trying to get a grasp on what the differences are both in terms of cost and capability. Don't want to find I could've gotten something much better for a few bucks more. So far: Both appear to have about the same engine except *5103 is turbocharged, 5105 isn't *5105 is rated for 5 more HP...

I Have posted threads in attachments, owner operator and hyd. now here on this tractor and progress. I am needing advice and knowledge to avoid any problems here I am not seeing. I have a John Deere 5105 tractor, (100hrs), Just bought a 10A backhoe to mount on, and it is requiring modifications...

I am looking at upgrading my current tractor (Farmtrac 360DTC) to a 50HP class tractor. I have looked around and have narrowed the choices down to the Kubota M5040 (with LA1153 FEL) and the JD 5105 (with 522 FEL). I have 10 acres that I currently mow, but I am going to be building a home on...

Looking at this combination to possibly purchase. One major use would be mowing brush and pasture, and another use would be taking apart old-farm rock piles to get use of ground. I have two questions about the combination of 5105 and the 522 FEL: 1) The hydraulic hoses from the FEL control...

I swung by my local Kubota dealer and asked if he had any end of the year deals on anything in stock. He quoted me $21,900 for an MX5000DT 4WD LA852 FEL w/ SSQA. This seems like a fair to great price and it's gotten me to thinking: 1) The JD5105 looks comparable. What would a similarly...

Hi folks. I had this tractor since early 05. I ran it hard last summer with no heat problems. Yesterday, the heat shot up near red, and then pegged at the hottest indication and stayed there. today, it was maxed out on heat within 30 minutes. I checked the radiator and it is not clogged. I...

hi folks - I have lost my manual - I went back to dealer and asked for a new one, which they were happy to provide for around 50 bucks. Is there a way to get them in CD form, or PDF form? thanks.

What's a good price on a John Deere 5105 and a John Deere 5205 for farm use(Without Taxes). Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

My neighbor is in the market for a new MFWD 5105 or 5205. They are currently relying on a late 70's or early 80's IH 826 to mow and bale about 100 acres of timothy hay. I've noticed that most folk's have been able to negotiate anywhere from 10% to 20%+ off of the configurator estimated cost on...

I just purchased a 2005 5105 and 522 loader from my local dealer. Should be on my farm by next week- anything special with the 5005 series that I should know about? Mine is 2wd and will be used for everything from square bailing, mowing, plowing and loader work.

I am contemplating the purchase of one of these two tractors. It seems to me that the Case is a more advanced tractor, with more hydraulic pump capacity, better visibility, and heavier overall weight providing better traction with 2WD. I am interested in any input, from operation, service...

Local paper here advertises a JD5105 4WD, FEL, bushhog, 185 hrs for $20,000. Is it a good price? If not, what is a fair offer (good for me, OK for the seller)? I did the JD pricing for new and it's around $27,500 without the bushhog.

I'm posting this for my brother, whose JD 5105 with 10 hrs has had a problem with the alternator evidently overcharging or continuously charging the battery. The dealer is coming out next week to replace the alternator, battery and some cables that were damaged with battery acid. Anyone else...

I was looking at a jd4700 for my tree farm and then came across a 5105 mfwd with loader and only 65 hours for $20,500. Can anyone tell me about this tractor any help would be appreciated

I am looking at several types of small tractors to work on the land we have purchased. I have currently narrowed it down to the JD 990 or the JD 5105. Any thoughts as to which would be the best buy? I really don't have all that much farming to do. Mostly mowing and the F/L work. I'm just...

I posted the following information under the "New Owner of TC45D" thread in the Buying a For/NH forum. I noticed in the other 5105 thread that 521 loaders might be a problem. So far two dealers are pricing out the 521 on a 5105 MFWD. --------------------------------------------------------...
