John Deere 5210

So you got the filter at NAPA? I would get a JD filter and see if that makes a difference. I know that sounds silly but you did change the filter and now it's not working. It has to be air in the system or lack of flow. The filter would cause lack of flow. That NAPA filter is not OEM.

Welcome to TBN
I'll suggest to check/clean trans oil strainer. Strainer is accessed by removing cap secured by 2 bolts by pto shaft. One needs to drain trans oil or block trans case vent to slow escape of oil.

Let us know if you get it working so we know what the issue was. Good info for others.

 

[Alan v]

Always happy to share. I appreciate the help.

I also noticed the pro spins slow. Not as fast as I am used to seeing. Related?

 

[workinonit]

Pro? PTO? That would be related as well.

 

[Alan v]

Yes. Pto The fluid is very clean. Should I drain it and check the screen near the PTO.

The seal on the filter is very critical since it is under suction, it won't show any leaks (as it sucks air into the system) The hydraulic system shares the oil with the transmission, clutch/s (some tractors), and brakes. It is very poor economy to cheap out on filters or fluid. There isn't a common specification organization unlike engine oil's API. Any failure in these systems is expensive and difficult to repair. Failure debris is quickly distributed and hard to clear out. It just lurks in the system nooks and crannies waiting to be dislodged and cause another failure.
