JD 5200

[LynchWood]

Found a 5200 with 520 front end loader 4000hrs,turf tires for 6500 and I was wondering what you all thought about it,tractor is in good shape,and regular oil changes were done every150 hrs.

Welcome to TBN - LynchWood (er.. 1 post in goin' on 2 years).

Have a chance to give it a test run? Steering good? Tie rod slop?

The 9x3 tranny is a good one. Very reliable. The 3cyl. 179 C.I. engine is also a bullet-proof engine.

Collar shift or synchro? See how she shifts (no gear complaints if it's a synchro) and if it jumps outta gear, etc.

Loader straight? Pins loose or still pretty tight?

PTO work OK? 3pt work?

4,000 hours can be about right for a clutch replacement - check to see how much adjustment is left - or if it's already been replaced.

Not a bad price.. was it a golf course tractor? With those tires it probably wasn't used in a feedlot!!

Best of luck with your decision.

This tractor has been on a turf farm and is'nt big enough anymore, and that is why they are trading it in for a bigger tractor

2wd or 4wd?

 

[LynchWood]

2wd,we have sold our farm and are now hobby farmers,so I'm satisfied with twd.

I'm now an owner of the 5200 and not sure I want to keep the turf tires,does anyone know of any after market upgrades?

How do you adjust the cluch on the JD5200?

I believe it is the same as the 5X10, I have supplied a JD link to the 5X10 operators manual that shows how to do it. Look under section 110-service-250 hours. You may want to go to selectmanuals.com for $29.95 you can get the tech. manuals.

I also included a link to a JD service tips that speaks to this.
