I thought I'd use a thread to chronicle my repair of my 5105. Today I got the loader off, pulled it into the shop, and got the hood off with the help of my kids. My plan is to get the bare minimum parts to make it run, so I can be assured that it will run, before getting the rest and tracking down a used hood. I've confirmed the harness is available and I've found used clusters online.
I know it's a bit of a gamble, but I'm actually looking forward to it. It will be good for my kids to help too. I was a mechanic through college and am an engineer now, so this doesn't scare me. But there is no way I'd attempt to repair the main wiring harness.
Maybe this will be a gateway to fixing up old tractors. That wouldn't bother me except storing them...
