To R&R crankshaft one will need to split tractor similar to R&R traction clutch.

Thanks for your concern. Several months back after being automatically logged out I was unable to log in under Tx Jim handle I changed my handle to Jim in Tx. I sent several PM's or emails to the button below "contact Us" about my inability to log in with no responses. After posting under the...

I'll bet that 1-1/12'' is tricky to measure!!:p I'm guessing you meant 1-1/2''

Traction clutch control pedal not fully rising to top of travel could possibly shorten life of the dry traction by not allowing pressure plate to apply designed pressure to the clutch plate. This will depend on how far from fully raised clutch pedal is after operators foot is removed from pedal.

I lost my ability to log in under Tx Jim so I had to change my handle to JimB77. There are members of this forum that are a lot more knowledgeable about 5093E than I am. It appears LBV25790 in 5093E parts catalog is a "complete goods #" of which I have no access to correct info but I can't...

I agree & that's exactly what I told my nephew.

Inspected the tractor. PTO E speed change lever mechanism wasn't engaged properly. Pto shaft spins when engaged & engine operating BUT stops turning when pressure is applied to shaft with a 2X4. PTO clutch is probably slipping.

My knowledge of these JD/Yanmar tractors is very limited. I'm attempting to help my nephew diagnose this tractors pto problem. I've been researching the 5603 parts catalog & I've determined pto is driven by a dry clutch that's manually operated by cable on clutch housing. I can't determine how...

If joystick control cable is dry/dirty inside housing not allowing easy cable movement then spool may not be returning to correct home position in valve housing causing internal oil leakage in FEL control valve.

Back when I was employed at a JD dealer I installed 2 150# weights on inside of rear wheels & 3 150# weights on the outside of new JD 4430's. On your 5103 one would need to remove all the weights & each rear wheel 1 at a time then install bolts for inside weight including inside weight then...

I was taught never to plow muddy soil.

I'll take JD's newer style L/D shaft seals similar to what my 4255 has over electronically controlled anything. My 4255 with 11,500+ hrs showing on speed/hour meter. Many hours of 3 pt plowing & is on it's 3rd set of L/D seals. That doesn't include the baling of many 1000's of rd bales

IMHO JD lower draft sensing if adjusted per tech manual operates much better than upper link draft sensing on upper link sensing best day. Major downfall is the requirement of the seals that will eventually LEAK OIL at the bottom of transmission case(hyd oil reservoir)!

sixdogs Please explain how a single acting(one way) cylinder or cylinders such as most farm tractors 3 pt hitches possess when at a height other than fully raised not float whether control is utilizing "draft control or no draft control". Thanks Jim
