Hi guys, I'm looking at buying a 2000 5310 w/ 1900 hrs on it w/ a 520 loader. This machine is super clean. The bucket does'nt even have scuffs on it. Makes me think either the bucket was'nt used or its a replacement. The loader arms and other panels on the tractor does'nt have any scuffs either. Matter of fact the only scuffs is on the platfrom no doubt boot scuffs.
Anyway the dealer told me the machine has a very small leak at the fuel pump. I seen a salesman load a scoup on to a trailer with the tractor and I looked after he got through and could'nt find any fuel on the frame or ground under the tractor or where the scoup and trailer was. So it really must be a small leak. Searching the net for solutions to this problem the main thing I find is the injecter pump most likely needs to be replaced. I cant find any "How tos" on this. I've noticed the pump will have to be timed also after replacement. Does anybody have any idea how hard a job this is or how to do it? The dealership is asking $14500 for this machine. Which is $5000 cheaper than anyone I've found w/out a loader.
This just might be a machine to passup on. Any idea is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
