    5105M Trans Issues

    I purchased a new 5105M in January and having shifting issues that JD can't seem to resolve. This issue was from day one but JD said to give it some time to "break in". I am new to JD with this purchase so some of my terminology may not be completely accurate to JD standards but here we go...

    Instructions for installing instructor's seat in a 5105M?

    I finally got motivated to purchase an instructor's seat for my 5105M. When I opened the box I found an imposing array parts but no instructions. A call to the local JD Dealer has been, so far, no help but they did confirm that no instructions come with the kit. Anybody out there have experience...

    Looking for a Nice Custom Steering Wheel for my JD 5105M

    The title pretty much says it all. I just think that a nice tractor should have a nice wheel. It certainly deserves something better than the cheap plastic factory steering wheel. Anybody know where I might find one?

    JD 5105M PowrReverser Modulator

    It seems like I read somewhere on here that John Deere can provide a kit to retrofit a modulator for the powrreverser on the 5M series tractors. The 4310 that I had before had a two position switch for that but I could never detect much difference between the switch positions. The 4310 seemed to...

    I Have bids coming in for a 5101E and 5105M Cab models with H260 loader. It was either spring for another truck to move snow or buy a machine that I can potentially use for firewood business, logging etc. that has better capacity than my 1070. The JD1070 is a great tractor but is a toy when...

    2012 5105M

    Just wanted to update on our 5105M. About 60hrs so far, very impressed overall. One problem that will need adjusting is it pops out of 540 economy pto. Regular speed is fine. Not overly concerned, will get it adjusted correctly it has to go back to get the creeper installed. We weren't sure...

    Box blade for 5105M

    We were a little pressed for time and being the middle of winter, when we went looking for 96" box blades to assist with the snow clearing up here, we could only find a light Cat 1. We grabbed it b/c it was cheap, and it worked, but the pins on it were so low, any little dips of the tractor...
