JD 5083e Tuning

[AGGIE00]

When I bought this tractor I couldn't justify the price increase for the 93 and 101 to have identical tractors with the same engine. I had the idea that I could just turn up the pump and have the same power you get from the 101. Besides warranty issues where am I going wrong on this. Tires will be replaced from normal wear one day anyway and then I can put some larger rubber on it to match the 101.

Just a first hand example. The family farm has a 9520 and a 9220 used for tillage. They are electronically controlled and can be "turned up" using resistors. the cooling system on the 9220 would not keep up with the added HP. And because of the cost/benefit of production vs fuel consumption, it's only put in the 9520 during ripping/chiseling in the fall.
So make sure it's both worth the higher fuel cost, and will maintain a low enough temp that you don't have to "baby sit" the temp gauge.

I don't see a problem if you need the extra HP. The only design difference I'm aware of is the larger tire size on the 101E and increased fuel pump delivery. Fuel economy will decrease as to be expected. How do you propose to increase and control the fuel pump rate?

I haven't found any differences in cooling, turbo size, or intake ductwork. I don't care if it goes from 2.5 gph to 3 to get the extra power. As far as your last question, I don't know because it is a mechanical stanadyne pump. We have chips on common rail construction equipment and trucks, but I don't know how to change the mechanical pump output. So, can these pumps be turned up and if so how?

This tractor is a toy, just an expensive one. Fuel consumption is irrelevant for the jobs that it does. My concern is that I don't break my toy. The working tractors are 9520s.

I believe JD gives the 101 a bit more boost than the 83. This would need to coincide turning the pump up too. Not sure with today's electronics where to tell you to start.

This is the information I am trying to find out. The beauty of this tractor is its simplicity. Not much electronics.

I don't see 5083E listed but take a look at Ag Power Solutions info: AG Power Solutions - Tuning for agricultural vehicles | tractor, harvester, bulldog, agricultural machinery .

How far are you from Lubbock?

There is a diesel injector pump shop there that should be able to make the needed changes to your Stanadyne pump and injectors as needed.

A very long way, 8 hours. The contact listed above for performance modules has one listed for this pump. I don't know how a mechanical pump can be modified electronically, but we are about to learn something.
