well i spent some time digging out my pond over the 4th weekend, i must say i'm impressed with the digging ability of the 5145. In undisturbed hard packed clay or topsoil, point the bucket at the ground, push, roll the bucket back as the tractor bogs or spins the tires and the result is a heaped full bucket consistently no fuss.

Same here. I dug hard pan and rocks out to make a fire pit area on Saturday. The picture doesn’t do Justice to how much I had to dig but along the back of the semi circle it’s about 3 feet deep. I ended up with probably the equivalent of two triaxle dump loads of tailings. Which I’ll use to make final grade around my septic tanks. Definitely has the power and weight to really dig.

nice! yes i have an unbelievable pile of dirt. I was expecting issues with digging in this hard packed soil, but even without loaded tires and just a box blade on the rear it digs. also very easy on fuel, i have put less than 18 gal in 34 hrs

Help! Rear remotes! Am going to install a hydraulic top link on my 5155 and was looking at the factory installed rear remote couplings on the tractor. They are unlike any I have seen before. Others have, on the female side, a sleeve you pull back to install/release the other coupling. These do not, see photo. I tried pushing, pulling and twisting to no effect. Any advice on how to attach to the rear remotes? Thanks

Hey soldier, ya those are a pain in the rear....you have to push in firmly, and then yank them really quick, I have hurt myself doing this, mine leaked so in the end there was nothing good about them so I swapped them out for the pioneer style from Amazon, no more leaks, and easy to disengage, hope this helps

OK Walt and all others, try this one. Walt mentioned that the main clutch and PTO clutch linkages need to be greased and that the zerks are under the floormat in front of the clutch. This is shown in the lube photo in the owners manual. I went to look on my 5155 and found it is nothing like the photo. No zerks are evident as in the photo and lifting the floormat would be a major task. See my photos attached. The only thing I can think of is to cut the tops off the two raised circles and hope the zerks are there. Any advice?

I must thank you all, I didn't realize those grease zerks we're there, I have notice my clutch being just a bit crunchy feeling, I also noticed that there are two on the brake side as well, it's good to go now...thanks again! On a side note , most of you may already know this, but I make sure to scratch the factory paint off the grease zerks before greasing, little micro paint chips could clog the zerks down the road

I’d recommend using the guide in the owners manual and really looking the underside of the tractor very closely for grease fittings. I actually missed a few the first time I greased mine because I had left the manual at home. So the second time I referred to the lube chart and went under and found a few more. And yes definitely pull up the corner of the floor mat near the clutch pedal and hit those two fittings. It took just a minute or two to pop a couple of push in plastic keepers and fold the floor mat back enough to get to those fittings. There’s a lot of fittings on the tractor itself not to mention the typical ones on the loader. I view this as a very good thing since it seems like many things have gone away from this. Grease is your friend.

Quick question in regards to the grease zerks, there is one on the right side(passenger)that you can see way up towards the 3 point control, it is way out of reach to get from the bottom, I was wondering if taking the plastic cover off the 3 point control would allow access the this zerk, I mean I have long arms but it's still out of reach ,thoughts?

John...thank you. I have installed the top link and using your and others advice and it works fine so far. The only thing is that the top link moves too fast for fine adjustment. Am getting a hydraulic flow control valve to slow down he flow.

Different subject: Am preparing for my 50 hr service and intend to replace all the Universal Tractor Fluid (hydraulic system). So many choices but I am zeroing in on TRIAX Agra UTTO XL Synthetic Blend Tractor Transmission and Hydraulic Oil. Any experience with that?? See Amazon for details. Thanks

Might works really fast too, if I wanna adjust slowly,I just barely crack it, it takes practice

Yes, that one is a good reach up in there. It’s a 90 degree fitting pointed down towards the ground and while it’s a reach I was able to access from underneath the tractor. You probably could reach it easier from up top but as you said you’d have to pull some plastic covers off and then the fitting would be pointed in the wrong direction. I have a loc and lube fitting on my grease gun and a long hose. Makes these easier to service. There’s a fitting on the drivers side at a similar location next to the gas tank that is not easy to get at either. It actually had a 90 degree fitting on it too but it made it inaccessible. So I removed that and put a straight fitting on it that made it point straight down. Now I can get that one from below as well. Only the two under the floor mat for the clutch need to be accessed from topside. Hope this helps.

Ok so I lied. And now I’m considering a political career . But I started looking at the area up near the three point and remote valve controls. And from behind the tractor I could see another grease fitting in there aimed up. So I took the plastic cover that goes over the three point and remote valve levers and there’s actually three grease fittings in there. Two serve the remote pivots and one serves the three point pivot. I’ve attached a photo showing them and this picture is taken standing back by the rear of the tractor looking forward. You have to remove about 6 Phillips head screws and pop the electrical connector off of the 12 volt power Jack and the whole cover comes off to give easy access to these three fittings. Not sure if these ones are in the owners manual or not but they’re on the tractor for sure. Hopefully this helps others.

I missed those. Thanks Andy.

Really! Nice work, Andy. That's good to know, I'll be greasing those on my tractor today. I just checked through the owners manual, couldn't find any reference of those fittings. Makes me wonder how many others aren't mentioned.

man they put the grease fittings on this thing. I cannot keep up with all of them.

They definitely didn’t skimp on zerk fittings. But once you finally figure out where they’re all at, it’s pretty straight forward. So I think in summary everything can be accessed from below the tractor. With the exception of the two under the floor mat for the clutch, and the three under the plastic cover by the three point/remote control area. All things considered I really like that they put that many grease points on the tractor. Sealed assemblies are never really sealed and water and grime always finds it’s way in. At least being able to grease tends to force that stuff out. I will admit it’s definitely got a lot more grease fittings than any other tractor I’ve ever owned or worked on.

The bucket on the 5155 has holes near the front edge that look like they are for bolts to hold on teeth. Has anyone put teeth on theirs?

In the owners manual they mentioned that a bolt on tooth bar would be available. So not sure if available yet but you might ask your dealership and he might know. For digging a tooth really helps.
