same as a 5103 pretty much except for a few minor cosmetic changes. still trying to learn this, but i think the E is the MFWD version and the D is 2wd. the D comes with an 8x4 tranny and the E comes with a 9x3. the one piece hood is cool, but i prefer my older style where you can pop off the sides and get to anything. same horsepower, same engine as previous 5103. MFWD engagement lever appears to be different as well as the pto lever. if i were you i would opt for 14.9x28 rear tires over the 13.6x28 though

Yeah, posted it earlier, then pulled the trigger.

well since you already bought the tractor i guess changing the rears wont matter now.haha i was just saying that because you get a good bit bigger tire, holds more fluid, seems to get better traction. heck, if i could change one thing about my tractor it would be going from 14.9x28 to 16.9x28 rears. looking forward to seeing some pics!!

I like it too, even if it is green. Nothing wrong with the platform tractor. Nice shop too, BTW. How big is it.
