Hi there from Australia,
New to the forum and have recently purchased a JD5320 with a 541 FEL.
Purchased second hand some six months ago and has had only <10 hours use to date by me. The dealer said they had done a service before I purchased.
It has about 4,500Hrs on it and has developed the following problems:
* Last few times using FEL I noticed it was a little slower in lifting and steering wasn't quite right
On the weekend the following occurred:
* Started tractor, lifted FEL a little and reversed out of shed
* Proceeded a few hundred meters up driveway to clean up some dirt and FEL was not working at all at times, other times moving up very slowly and jerky
* Steering the same very jerky
* At the same time these issues occurred on the weekend I was unable to get any drive to the wheels, ie clutch in, engage gear, release clutch and no movement. I had to leave the tractor where it was.
Could the lack of drive and loader issue be connected they happened the same time.
I have checked the hydraulic fluid and level appears OK, and fluid looks new.
I have read that it could be the hydraulic filter and screen that is blocked should I start there?
Also I am trying to find an operators manual, have found a technical one to help in that area.
Thanks for any assistance.
