5075E factory MODS

Plantation Paul · Feb 4, 2017

I added rear fender extensions, front fenders, and mirrors so far.

The front fenders do look a bit goofy. I plan to move them inboard and rotate them toward the front to give me more clearance.

A RH door kit is next.

Nice looking tractor!

Welcome Paul!
Nice additions, I'd like to have both, fender extensions and front fenders.:thumbsup:

I really need to get some front fenders for mine. I'd like the type that turns with the front wheels, but they're way too pricey compared to the stationary ones you have.

I think they will interfere with the loader frame, hence the reason for stationary. These are easily removable as they are pinned on. Another reason I have them, beside keeping the mud off, is to keep rocks from the glass. The soil here is super sticky and you if have mud on a tire, it will pick up rocks off the gravel road.

Thanks!

Don't forget the air seat and the blue tooth radio.

Already has a torsion sprung seat and a radio!

The RH door kit came in:

Rustyiron · Feb 11, 2017

It comes with that fine looking dog?

Is the glass "fixed" and you just add the hinges & hardware to the std glass?

MF283 · Feb 11, 2017

That is a good looking dog & tractor.

My butt must have lead in it because a good set of bumps and I can bottom out my seat!

Yea, I have to remove some brackets that hold it in place, and bolt on the hinges, etc. And it has a few plastic plugs in the glass that will be removed. Picked up with instructions at the dealership yesterday.

RedNeckRacin, on mine you can tighten or loosen the torsion spring to match your weight. Even my old 685 Case IH has one.

And Charlie says, "Thanks!"

I have mine CRANKED all the way down and I still can bottom out the seat from time to time. I need to just bite the bullet and get the air seat upgraded at some point.

Plantation Paul · Mar 15, 2017

Does it have a height adjustment too? Yea, air is nice. What I have on the 8310. Both other large tractors have hydraulic seats in them. They go to leaking, I will replace them with air. Nothing like seeps to make a mess.

I have the RH door kit installed. Seems I have to do a bit of grinding to slot the holes on the upper hinge (ugh!) Also ordered a rotating beacon and a horn kit!

RedNeckRacin · Mar 16, 2017

I don't think it has a height adjustment, I do have the fore and aft I do believe. I'm not a big guy (220-230) so I'm a bit frustrated with the seat but not enough yet to do anything about it. I'm really debating on getting some more suitcase weights, and a radio installed first. I usually just listen to music on my cellphone but in the cab would be nice. I also thought about possibly installing a CB but I'm not to serious about that yet either.

You ain't by yourself, I was harrowing and it got rough and I heard a loud noise and bam my seat bottomed out, I think I broke my spring, I need to do some looking and see if the whole seat comes out easily so I can figure out what happened.

A bit off subject but... can anyone tell me the difference between a 5075M and a 5075E?

Three pages of it here. M is a larger frame tractor with more HP available basically.

Sorry to hear about the broken spring, I really don't think that they made the spring suspensions nearly strong/stiff enough.

I got the seat out and went to the dealer, seems the seat I have is rare and manufactured by Sears, yep that's what it says right on the seat, seems the normal seat has 4 springs and this one only has 2, but they did show a heavy duty spring kit and it's on order.

Plantation Paul · Mar 21, 2017

RH door is functional, fenders, sorted with some modification to the brackets. Newly installed rotating beacon is also functional.

Driving it to the dealership to have some warranty work done tomorrow.

The only things left to install are the shuttle modulator and the horn.... Unless I break down and buy and rear window wiper... And I am pretty weak...

Oh and this... http://www.greenpartstore.com/thumb...ereparts/ag/2014/bre10152.jpg&maxx=300&maxy=0
