john deere 5205

Hi, my Deere 5205 tractor won’t start. The battery is charged and all the lights come on. No noise when I turn the key. It’s not in gear and the PTO is not engaged and we banged on the starter. I read somewhere it could be the grounding wire, starter selenoid or the starter. Someone told me they...

Looking for feedback on seat replacement for 2004 JD 5205. Have read some have went with units from Tractor Supply. Some satisfied. Some report not enough cushion in seat. This seat has some spring left, but nothing like the seat on my 5303. Have read some comments about replacing just the...

Recently picked up a JD 5205. Noticed the top link didn't seem to work as it should and found one end turning, but not going in or out. I am using another one for now, but would like to repair the original part if possible. Have looked quite a bit and do not find any good info on taking these...

I have a 2001 John Deere 5205 with a front wheel hub seal leaking again. I just replaced the seal back in the spring and it's now October and it is leaking again. When I replaced the seal, I cleaned every part , installed new bearings, and added coating of grease around the new seal rubber...

Thanks for your advice. I was able to successfully remove the hydraulic screen filter for JD 5205. My filter was stuck in housing so I used 2 screwdrivers to get inside the filter housing to push in the sides of the old hydraulic screen and then holding pressure on the screwdrivers pull the...

Scratching my head trying to figure out whether to have the hydraulic cylinder rebuilt or pull the steering control valve and rebuild it first. The tractor pulls a little to the right and it takes a constant slight turn of the steering wheel to the left to keep it going straight. No external...

My tractor is a 2000 5205 John Deere.The fuse of the solenoid fuel pump keeps bowing I am told the advanced fuel sensor causes this and if it is replaced this will solve the problem or you can disconnect it. The reason I have not just disconnected the sensor is that I cannot locate a sensor on...

This morning I was running a new to me brush hog. It is a little out of balance so I didn't think much of what was going on at first. After about ten minutes I thought to myself that the vibration from the brush hog is affecting the engine. So, I released the pto and let the blades come to a...

My tractor has been doing this every now and again, but it has started to do it worse now. The issue is that when I am going the tractor wants to sputter. Over time I notice more blue smoke coming out of the exhaust until i stop or until the sputtering stops. I have no idea what is causing...

The battery is draining to nothing if the tractor sits for a few days without use. I put a new battery in on December 31, so that is not an issue. Yesterday I put a charge on the battery and decided to check for voltage drain with the switch in the off position. I found that there is a 125...

Planning to build a cage with limbrisers for my 5205 John Deere. I want to do a skid plate too. The thing is I have a front end loader. Anyone have any pictures of their set up?

I have a root grapple on my 5205. The grapple was working, but when i went to go pick up some limbs and drop them, the grapple wouldnt open. The hydraulics lines are all hooked up and not knocked loose. I can push down on the aux lever and it wont even go in the float. I pull back and it wont...

A fool and his money are soon parted. Welp, I did not know enough to learn what I was getting into. I purchased a Model 48 backhoe to use on my JD 5205. I now have the backhoe mounted thanks to a new $1,100 sub-frame bracket. Now I need to figure out how to get hydraulic power to the backhoe...

A few weeks ago, I replaced the hand primer pump, installed a new fuel filter and purged the fuel system of air. My tractor started right up and ran well for about an hour and then the engine died. I installed another fuel filter and replaced the air filter and again purged the fuel system...

Greetings all, Would like to hear from some of the owners of the 5205 (small) Utility tractor. It seems like a perfect fit for my present plans for the future small farm (irony intended). It is only a little bigger than some larger compacts, but seems to have the horsepower and girth to run...

Hello all I bought new tie rod ends to replace my old ones. Do I need to take the steering assembly off to replace the ends or can I just pound the ball joints out, loosen the tie rods off and the put the new ones one. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a tractor 5205 and the fuel injection pump seems to be not working right. I've bled the system according to the manual but the tractor is not starting. It's not getting any fuel to the engine. I've traced the lines running from the fuel filter to the fuel injection pump. Fuel is running...

I have a John Deere mod. 5205 . The other day i started it up and the R.P.M.gauge indicated very high readings when the engine was only idling . When i restarted the tractor A couple of hours later it was reading very low R.P.M.'s even when the engine was revved up. The readings will go up and...

Hello I have a 5205 John Deere that will not start. I ran the tractor last weekend with no problems. Went to start it this am and i heard what sounded like a fuse blowing. The engine did not turn over. I have looked under the hood and under the tractor for a wire that may have been shorted but...

I have a John Deere 5205 where everything in the small hour meter display (which also has miscellaneous symbols in it) is blinking all 8's. I haven't noticed any operational differences in the way it runs or operates (other than the fact that I have no idea how many hours I have on the...

Help please. I have a 5205 that won't start when it's below freezing. I put in a block heater, have added Power Master fuel additive and a new battery. It turns over, runs a couple of seconds then dies. Any ideas? Thanks

How did I get water in the hydraulic system. I really don't get this one. Seems it badly rusted brake parts, but I am really remiss to figure out how this happened. No leaky/loose hoses...but I read several threads indicating condensation being a probable cause. Can this be prevented or at...

I have a 5205 john deer tractor . when i tried to start it today it blew the 30amp F1 key switch fuse twice. any thoughts??

I have an electrical problem with my JD 5205. Turn on thh key and it blows the 30 amp fuse feeding the switch. I downloaded a service manual, which has a schematic, but none of the wire numbers or colors match what I find on the tractor. I have unpluged all connections (seat switch, key switch...

I guess JD no longer sells the RE73308 power beyond kit for 5105 5205 tractors. I have a good lead on a 48 back hoe but can't power it. Any suggestions on obtaining power beyond kit or retro fitting something? Thanks

Ok I know that I'm a bad person for letting my tractor live outside over the winter. But I don't have a large enough door on the house to bring it in and no garage. Hopefully will have a barn in couple months, but that for the wife's horses not my Deere...... Installed power beyond kit last...

PTO is very hard to engage and once i get it engaged i have to jam it in place with a stick or something to keep it from jumping out of engagement

Found a JD 5205 4x4 with R4's, a 521 FEL and around 3,000 hrs. Is this model a good choice? Whats a decent price for this one, and what other models could I consider for a JD 4x4 with loader made in 2000 or newer, under 3,000 hrs, with 50+ HP? Thanks.

I have a JD 5205 and hydraulics just started acting up--affects loader, steering and rear lift...action is "jerky" and front loader will hardly raise. Rear lift "jumps and jerks" as it goes up. It acts like it is low on fluid, which I checked and it was a little low, but after adding fluid, it...

Hey everyone, been looking at this site for a while and decided to post my question up here. I recently had to bleed my fuel system, and in the process I had to remove the fuel line going into my injector. Well, when I tried putting the line back I tightened it up and then pumped it some more...

Hello, I'm new here and was wondering if anyone could help with a problem I'm currently experiencing? The tractor I have is a John Deere 5205. There seems to be a problem with the hydraulics and I was wondering if anyone might have some insight into the problem. The hydraulics were working...

All, my fuel sender unit on my JD 5205 started leaking fuel. I checked and it is the unit, not a gasket so I bought a new one. I went to remove the unit and all 5 bolts that secure it to the tank just turn and do not release. Are these special bolts that have a special way to remove them ? It...

Was wondering if anyone knew a good canopy to use on a 5205 besides the factory ones.

Help.....Ok back late this summer my 3 pt starting giving me some problems. I could not get the 3 point to lift after my initial start up. When the tractor starts up, and I have the rock shaft level up in the 1 position....the rock shaft will lift up. After that the 3 point will only go down. I...

Does anyone know the 'working' lift capacity (up to about 36") of a JD 5205 with a 522 FEL? Per my manual the lift capacity at max heigth is 2094#. I'm considering adding a brush grapple and want to know how much lift capacity I'm going to have after I install the grapple. Thank you.

Does anyone have any experience with adding a brush grapple to a JD 5205 with a 522 FEL? What make/model grapple do you have experience with?

I have a JD 5205 with a 521 loader. It has joystick loader control with two midmount SCV's and one rear SCV. I plan to utilize the rear SCV to operate a grapple on the loader bucket. I need to add an additional rear SCV for another attachment. Is there an option available to have the grapple...

I used the tractor this morning without any problems. Started right up and ran fine. I pulled it into the shed to change the oil air and fuel filters. Finshed up and it wouldn't crank. This is a 2003 with 400 hours. The only other things I remember touching were I sprayed Fluid Film on the...

I have been looking at the 5205 to use on my 27 acres I have. Will be getting a FEL, bushhog, box, etc as I will be doing some fencing, piling brush and building a new house. Give me the pros and cons to this particular tractor please. I am looking at the JD, Kubota and the Mahindra. Thanks.

Hello, Can someone tell me what a 2001 JD5205 MFWD with 521 loader, canopy, worklights, AG tires and 382 hrs is worth on trade-in. The tractor is in excellent shape. I want to make sure I know what to expect when I try and trade up. I was qouted $16,100 which I think is low. I am looking to...

I recently bought a 5205 that has a belly exhaust, anyone in Missouri have a vertical exhaust and wants to trade pipes?

Coming up on 100 hr service and I can't find where to add oil to the crank case. Had my local extension agent out the other day and he was a baffled as I am! Manula says to add it, but doesn't say where.

Hello. I am a new user currently researching my first tractor purchase. I have found this site very informative, containing a wealth of knowledge. I have narrowed it down to a Kubota M6800 versus A JD 5205 (both with FEL). Primary use would be cutting, tilling, light loader work, and eventually...

Awaiting delivery of my first tractor, a Deere 5205 MFWD. I will be using it to mow 15-20 acres of pasture. The land is a bit hilly, has some bottomland that can get boggy, and there are two wet-weather-only streambeds running through the pasture. The pasture hasn't been mowed regularly for...

How does the JD 5203 compare to the JD5205 in quality and releiability. I understand that the 5203 is foreign made vs. the 5205 is Augusta made. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

First, I would like to thank the moderator and the TBN'ers who contribute all the invaluable information on this site. It has been a tremedous help to me in my evaluation and selection. Since October, I have been looking for a tractor and finally selected the JD 5205. It was helpful to me to see...

I was curious; What is the speed of the lowest gear? I think the tractor is near perfect size and power wise but it needs to go slow enough for a harley or possibe tiller. I've seen a post with the proper info but I can't find it now. TIA...

I just purchesed a 5205 and when I start it for the first time each day it lets out white smoke for about 30 seconds and sure seem a little loud. Is that normal for a new tractor? My cousin has a 5105 and it doesn't seem as loud .

It's a little late to ask now but I was wondering if the price I paid for my tractor was in the ballpark or too much. I didn't do a lot of research into it so I was at the mercy of the dealer. I didn't come across this web site until after I bought it. It's a new JD5205 with mfwd, 521 fel, 2 mid...

What are the major differences between these 2 tractors? They both have 53 pto hp and have 4wd as an option. How do they compare to a Mahindra 5500 4WD? Thanks Yooper Dave

I am considering buying a John Deere 5205. Does anyone have comments on quality? How well do they hold up? Any problem?

I have been looking at moving up in tractor size. I now have a 4400. I started looking at 4610 & 4710s. Adealer suggested a 5205. I have not seen one as dealers in this area do not have them in stock. From the specs the 5205 looks like alot more tractor than the compacts & it costs less. So far...

I am trying to decide between a JD5205 MFWD w/JD loader and a NH TN65 MFWD w/NH loader.
