pump governor started acting up. did not maintain rpm well at all. last shut down took about a minute to stop running. i want to fix this one, but i had another pump. other pump was installed due to misdiagnosed fuel problem. previous owner had installed inline fuel filter above transmission...

Looking for help. 2 weeks ago I was doing some brush hogging and notice about a half hour into it that the rpm’s would drop from wide open 2500 to 21-2200 once the engine reached full operating temp. Thinking it was water in fuel I drained the petcock nothing out of the ordinary. Yesterday I...

Hi, I have a John Deere 5420 2003 non cab tractor. She’s been sitting for about two months, she would start and run two months ago. I’ve had the battery on a trickle charger during that time, the battery is less than three months old. When I connect the battery, and try to start her, she won’t...

Hi guys, it’s been a while for me. I sold my 3320 and I’ve purchased a used 5420 model (1,200 hrs, no cab, 9x3 transmission) I’m excited for the upgrade. My question is this, I had the tech manual for my old tractor and it really came in handy (4 inches thick). I’m looking for the same one but...

I am looking at a JD 5420 with cab, heat, air and loader. I have not called the seller yet as I would like to get some opinions beforehand. The tractor will be used mainly with a snow plow on the loader arms. The 5420 had the 521 and 541 loader. The ad says 521 with quick attach bucket but...

Gotta buddy who bought a cabbed 5420 a few months back. previous owner said a clutch had been installed in the last yr or so before selling. My buddy has used it for a few months and now its getting hard to go in gear and grinding. They split it and just by looking at the removed clutch can...

I replaced battery with a new one. Wrong connection. Big spark.Reconnected battery the right way.No start,no lights,nothing.What did I destroy?

2003 John Deere 5420. The air conditioner is blowing full force on the left side, but just barely blowing on the right. I know I need to remove the top of the cab, but I'm not sure how many screws are holding it on and where they are located. Is there a seal that I'll be breaking when I remove...

Hello i recently purchase a JD 5420 and the previous owner replaced some gears in the tractor and when they went back together with the tractor they forgot to hook up the PTO does anyone have a break down manual of all of the internals i havent attempted to tear it down yet but was needing some...

chipmunks have broken the wires going to the neutral position switch on my tractor. how can i bypass the switch? i am not going to remove the cab so that i can splice the wires back..

So I split our 5420 at work to replace a broken park pawl in the tranny and found these pieces laying in the bottom as well. I cannot seem to locate where they go or where they came from. I've searched through the parts diagrams for the tranny as well as the rear diff and hydraulics to no avail...

On my 5420 (IOOS model), I currently have 2 rear remotes and am looking at upgrading to a 3 remote unit. On top of the right fender is where the handles are, and there is an empty slot for a 3rd lever. I took the cover off and found the bracket will accept the 3rd handle and cable. On the...

I think the parking pawl is broke on my 5420. Something is broke for sure. It won't hold in park. This is the power reverser transmission. I've checked the cable and I can see it moving the level on the top side of the transmission. So, I'm afraid its something inside - between the linkage...

when backing down a hill with the loader bucket full the 4-wheel drive will disengage frequently. this started several years ago but has now become frequent and bothersome. i'm wondering what the cause is and the remedy to correct it. the unit has 1800 hrs thank you

My 5420 4wd cab tractor has a rear wheel seal that has gone out and the outer bearing is bad. I see from my service manual that I must remove the entire final drive to replace these parts. Hopefully this won't become an overwhelming on farm repair but I am a bit worried as the manual states that...

I hope someone might point me in the right direction here. My 5420 was idling while I was out of the cab and shut off by itself. The problem seems electrical, the switch has no power, neither do the wipers, A.C. blower or turn signals. The headlights do work however which rules out any battery...

John Deere 5420 Cab, air conditioner has no air coming out the right side vents. Left side working fine. Removed top covers and found both left & right motors running fine. Could not see anything that would prevent air flow on the right side. Any suggestion as to what might be blocking the air...

My jd 5420 has no power at fuse controlling key switch circuit

Hello all Basically: Battery is good. There's power coming to and from the ignition terminal on the ignition switch. But, no power making it through to the solenoid. No fuses blown PTO indicator is off. I can't find a wiring diagram for this online. I'm assuming there's a few relays and...

After my 5420 sets for a little while I have to pound on the clutch repeatedly to get the tractor to start. Either the electric clutch switch has a problem or there is a short somewhere. Anyone seen this? Thanks

This is a 12' wide hydraulic disc, the tractor will pick it up, but will not release the pressure to let back down. Have tried everything from changing tips on hoses, bringing cylinders to shop, and changing the female coupler (black side) on the tractor. Does anyone have any idea's? DISC IS A...

I have a JD 5420 and the tachometer isn't working right. Sometimes it won't work at all and other times it will bounce up and down. Is this just a loose wire? a sensor? There is no cable.

I went to my local JD dealer and asked what I needed to add a 3rd function electric over hydaulic valve to my JD 541 loader on my JD 5420 tractor so I can operate a grapple from the joy stick. They couldn't find anything in their "catalogs" that they said would work. They wanted me to add an...

When I try to start my JD5420, I turn the key on and blow the 20 amp "key switch" fuse. I removed the key switch and will have it tested tomorrow but I'm thinking problem may be some goofy "saftey" switch. Any ideas?

I have a JD 5420 Serial # LV5420P246019. I think 5420's come with different HP engines, and if so, what HP does this tractor have? Thanks.

I own a John Deere 5420 and recently had an experience that scared the **** out of me. I placed the Powershifter in Park and when I released the clutch the tractor took off in forward direction. I was in low range and 2nd gear when this happened. I immediately hit the clutch and brake and looked...

A friend needs a loader for his JD 5400 and has found a 542 loader that has mounts for a 5420? Any idea where to find drawings? Any ideas? Anyone done it? L>

I am considering this tractor, but I live in Ma. The shipping quote on it is reasonable if the tractor is in good shape. Here is a link to it on Tractorhouse. 2002 JOHN DEERE 5420 40 HP to 99 HP For Sale At TractorHouse.com Has anyone done business with these guys? Does the price seem...

My 5420 2WD has about 950 hrs on it. Two weeks I was bushhoging and I ran into a sink hole in the field. There was a pretty good jolt but the tractor didn't stop. Yesterday, I was using the front end loader and noticed that the front wheels were moving backwards and forwards about 3-4 inches...

Well, after 700+ flawless hours, my JD5420 hiccupped on me today. I went out to shred and it started loosing power when I engaged the PTO. So, I went back to the shop figuring the fuel filter had clogged up. It was time for an oil change anyway, so I changed the oil and fuel filters and blew out...

Since I intend to buy used, the main difference I see is the 5425 has the same engine but Turbo charged with the same HP. Is this an advantage? or a mute point? Any difference in torque? I am thinking a turbo is one more thing to go wrong, but maybe more fuel efficent? The 5425 has an electric...

I am considering getting rid of my open station 1994 JD 5300 for either cab JX95 or JD 5420 or Kubota M9000. I want a little more hp with cab but stay in the larger utility tractor category. All are MFWD. Not familar with JX line. Farmer has 2007 Jx95 for sale with 87 hours. Has 2 of them but...

I am very disappointed in the fuel system in my new JD 5420 and I am looking for some suggestions and tips. There are three points where, in my opinion, JD took some short cuts that really degrade the unit. 1. No electric fuel pump to push the fuel uphill from the low mount fuel tank to the...

The mid-mount SCV's that are used to control my FEL have been freezing up. When I first start the machine, the valves will not move. I can not even rotate them by hand. After the unit runs for a period of time and the fluid warms up, the valves will eventually work free. The three point system...

I have been experiencing occasional fuel delivery problems with my tractor. More specifically, the fuel pump looses the prime and the unit will stall. Generally the tractor will be running fine and then it will quit. I have to go through the priming sequence. I can not find any obvious leaks...

I made a trip to the local forklift grave yard and ended up with a monstrous carriage that was six feet wide by 6 feet tall with some sort of side shift and other things I didn’t recognize. It was a class two carriage, albeit a heavy one, with two pairs of 34 inch forks. I also picked up a...

I just finished up my WR Long grapple installation on my JD5420. The grapple ran about $2,000 and the electro-hydraulic valve kit just under $400. The valve kit was less than it normally runs because I ordered it without the control grip and wiring. WR Long seems to be the only folks willing...

Hi All, I'm getting ready to add a utility tractor to my fleet (of 1). I have more acres now and will be using the tractor primarily for haying. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and I'm looking at a new Case JX85 and a used (100 hours) JD 5420. The JD is $2K more has very little warranty...

I recently purchased a JD 5420 in Texas. For those who are shopping JD pricing, here is what I got. I ended up getting just under %18 discount off of list pricing. See the attached file for the itemized breakdown. I also priced a 5425, a newer version of the 5420 that will be availabel in...

My dad wants to add a radio to his new JD 5420 (2004). It has the factory-made "opening". How do we find out what make and model of radio is compatible with the existing hook-ups? The dealer said Delco makes a radio that will fit, but that was all the info he gave.

I have been looking at the M6800 and the JD 5420. There is such a price difference between the two, I'll probably go with the M6800. However, I have three questions. The engine size on the JD5420 is 276 cu. in. and the M6800 is 202 cu. in. The PTO HP is about the same, 65hp for the JD and...
