My four-year old 5065E's fuel lines are leaking. Does anyone have the specs for the ID/OD on the supply and return lines? Also, any recs on what type of hose to go back with? Definitely don't want to use JD's stuff---these lines are cracking all over, leaking in multiple spots and look awful.

One of the gangs on my Leinbach 240 needs some repairs. At a minimum, I need two bearing spacers and a bearing assembly. At some point, I'll need a new axle as well. The axles are round and I believe they are 1" in diameter. Most parts I've found seem to be compatible with the square axles...

I've had this tractor for a little over 2 years and it has leaked coolant since the beginning. Not much---I've added about 3/4 gallon over 2 yrs and about 110 hours of relatively light use. I've tightened the clamps I can get to easily (didn't seem loose at all). No sign of coolant in the oil...

I've had my JD5065E for a little over a year. I've put 80hrs on it, and I'd say it's been pretty light use (discing food plots, bushhogging, maintaining firebreaks). I'm thinking I should go back with the "break-in" oil for the next 100 hours or so. Thoughts?

I have an old Leinbach six foot disc that has some serious problems. One axle is bent and needs to be replaced. A bracket is broken on a different gang/axle and before I caught it chewed up some parts/bearings on those discs. The other "good" gangs have loose discs on the end and I can't...

for an appropriate trailer for my JD5065e with FEL that I can pull with my 1500 Silverado. thanks.

Took delivery of a JD 5065E, MFWD, Power-reverser trans, 553 loader, and MX6 bushhog. Spent about six hours on it this weekend---what a tractor! One question about the MX6. It is Cat 1, so I'm using bushings since the 5065 3 point hitch is Cat 2. The bushing the dealer provided me for the...

May have found the tractor but need a price check. 2014 JD 5065E (open station, MWFD) 553 loader MX6 rotary cutter hood guard loaded rears with water/antifreeze $37930. Do they have more room to negotiate on that price?

Posted this in main forum and thought I'd post here, too, with some additional questions. Was quoted $30,900 for the 5055E with 553 FEL and $33,400 for the 5065E with FEL. Both MFWD. Are these good prices and is the extra 10HP worth $2,500? How much more would the skid steer or global attach...

The local Kubota dealer is offering the below packages. My questions are whether these are good prices and whether one of these options is obviously better than the other. They seem to be very similar tractors. As I've posted before, I'll be using the machine on 80 acres to maintain roads...

I just bought an 80 acre piece of ground that has mostly young pine trees, several food plots, and a small pond. I'll be using the property for recreation (hunting) and growing pine trees. There is also a small pond on the property that I would like to improve. What size tractor should I be...
