5100e door locks me inside cab

20 mph gets me there in 75 minutes. I might ought to try wd40 on the latch first. Actually the duct tape isn't bad unless the door comes open on a severe slope. Engine noise is minimal and I've got my radio

Yep but he'll charge me for travel to and from (25 mi) my place. I know better. HSU leak on my mahindra ended up costing me $1045 but I saved haul bill. Ha

I still would get it fixed under warranty. They might help you out a little on the mileage. Wouldn't hurt to ask.

You're right of course

Hi I own a jd 5115m . Had same kind of problem... I just shot penetrating oil .. such as wd40 or the like in to the locking mechanism. I opened and closed doors few times... problem solved. I think they all get tight or lack lubrication some times. Just my .02 cts. Have a good 1.

I'll try that. It did feel like something was sticking. Just takes two to open it till it stops sticking. Guess I could open a window and reach around

I have a 2013 JD 5100 that had the same problem. Had to climb out the back window one time and I am very happy that there was no one to witness that escape :laughing:

It is actually a fairly easy fix. The latch on the frame can be loosened and adjusted. Takes longer to get the tools out than it does to make the actual adjustment.

Just a quick question..... doesn’t your tractor have 2 doors? Just asking. Ive had my locks freeze on mine, but never when inside

Actually, getting locked in the cab is a problem John Deere has been having with their new proprietary software known as "Hal 9000".
Owners report that they often get the following error message.
...and no! John Deere (Hal) says you do NOT have a right to modify THEIR software.
