John Deere "E" Series Hydraulic Systems Failures Overheating, Stuck Valves, etc

Have any of you fellow JD "E" Series tractor owners experienced hydraulic system failures, stuck hydraulic valves, overheating of the hydraulic system and oil, melted fuel tanks, or other problems ?

My experiences in this matter to come later.

There is a thread about this here somewhere. I can't remember exactly but may be cable related between levers and valves.

Nope. Not yet.

Here is one post on it and there are others.

I had a problem with the very small snap ring breaking in one of my QD. I couldn't connect a hydraulic hose until it got fixed under warranty. Also, the Float detent has failed on my #1 SCV. It's not a big issue though, just an inconvenience.

I had the boot on the joystick tear. Replaced no charge. I've also blown hoses coming off the rear SCV to the loader third function but that was caused by operator faulty headspace and timing. No over heating issues so far even when shredding in the summer.

I'm with Kyle, I read an extensive thread about this problem. I think the OP had replaced his fuel tank two or three times and still no fix. It appeared it was hydraulic valve misadjustment or failure which caused the system to overload the relief valve and basically be in relief all the time. Some reported the floor area being so hot they couldn't stand to have their booted feet touching it.

When I was shopping last year I avoided the E series because of this problem and considerable transmission trouble.

Anxious to hear of your woes Couv

I got my 5075E delivered in late September of this year. It's the new Power Reverser transmission package with the 540E PTO. No issues for me thus far with it (26 hours), but I haven't once used either of my 2 rear SCVs.

Again, if my memory serves me right, it was rear hydraulic use that made the problem appear. Hopefully someone with personal knowledge will chime in and verify.

I think you're right about that. At least, that's what JD kept saying the issue was (though from a few different accounts, it seems that was not a sufficient reason). I remember one user who suffered these problems said the JD dealer told him he was bumping his rear SCV levers, and that was causing the issue?

I'm pretty sure one of the other owners reporting these issues said it kept happening just using their rotary mower? And the transmission was so hot they couldn't put their boots on it?

I guess I've take a little hopeful comfort in knowing that my 5000E tractor has a different transmission and PTO package, which has been on many other larger JD utility tractors without issue.

Time will tell!
