I believe mine is around that year. Check the front axle to see it is the newer style with only 1 hydraulic cylinder and a tie rod to the other side. Take out the grill and look behind the battery, the oil cooler and radiator get bad corrosion from battery gassing. You can find several threads about this, it is almost universal. The fuel solnoid was manufactured incorrectly for many in those years. Oil gets behind the piston and prevents it from moving properly. The replacements have a groove internal to drain the oil. costs over $100 if you provide the labor. Mine went bad at 300 hours, about 3 hours after I bought it. Over 420 hours now and no more problems.

That is the same conclusion I came to. I bought the forklift, thinking of possible rear mount and even front mounting on the loader. I gave up on rear mount because I did not feel like there was much capacity left for the 3 point. I had a real fear of breaking it as the 3 point would be raised and the boom would then lift the load, possibly overloading the 3 point. I thought of robbing the carriage for a loader mount. Real forklifts are made to use every day all day. The carriage was made of solid steel, not tube and extremely heavy, heavier than the skid loader versions. I ended up fabricating my own carriage and using just the forks. You can see it in my pics. I sold the complete boom to another Amish man to make a 3 point mount. His tractor is over 80 HP, so it can handle it.

I bought the 5103 tractor. I looked around at all other makes models and kept coming back to this one. I don't regret it. I live in Eastern Canada with alot of snow. I also bought a good set of chains and I was never in a place where I wished i had bought a fwd. Damn fine tractor for any use.....

Any info on Deere 5103

Actually, the google robot for some reason has gone haywire recently and along with searching the site the googlebot has actually been doing some blank posting !

So far it has only been a minor intrusion if this error persists I will have to block those "post message pages" from the robot.

A trick that I've had to do is pull the auger out, grab a large spud bar and break through the hard spot and give the auger another try. The control arm turned to the back and having my brother hang off of it didn't help in my circumstance. We were in a long, very dry spell at the time and when the auger stopped biting it would just polish the bottom of the clay hole as it spun. My pilot could use some work too. I'm sure cleaning it up would have helped.

Looking at a 2004 7800 4wd hydro R4 tires 170 hrs, with a BushHog M146 loader and a boxblade. Tractor is very clean. Dealer is asking $13,000 and would probably take $12000-12,500. How good of a deal? It's somewhat attractive after pricing a new 7800 with fel for $15,900...

Murf, it's kind of funny how people play the game. A few years back, Weyerhaeuser (the largest employer and private landowner in this area) was one of the biggest companies hollering for tariffs on Canadian lumber.

So what did they do? They bought MacMillan Bloedel Limited in 1999. Today, Weyerhaeuser Canada holds renewable, long-term licenses on 32.6 million acres of forestlands in five provinces and owns 664,000 acres.

Guess who's against the lumber tariff now! Oh, the games people play...

The pics on my profile with the clay plugged tread are R4 industrial tires. The R1 ag tires are narrower and taller with much deeper tread. The traction you get depends a LOT on the type of soil you have. If you have wet, sticky clay the best you can do is probably R1 ag tires. This is because of the deeper lugs and the ability to "self-clean", where the lugs will twist and flex and shake off the mud. If you have well drained sandy soil it doesn't matter as much. I've always found the term "bar tires" confusing. R1s and R4s both have bars but they are entirely different beasts.

That blower fits the older B-series like 6200 all the way up to the B-1750 chassis. I'd peg it at 2000 with out looking at it with your word of being in good condition. Anything less would enter into a bargin and more should be mounted.

Before I make any modifications to an original system I like to know that it is performing the way it should to begin with and I'm not trying to overcome a problem that when that is fixed the operating problem goes away. We have done stick controls depending on needs and the operator. It is possible to run the control by lever from several different locations but I'd first see where it would be best for all operators.

Is there a secret to engaging 4x4 on this tractor (25hp 4x4)? I was attempting to engage it the other day and the doggone lever wouldn't budge for a while. I thought I was going to bend or brake the lever so I took it easy and messed with it for like 15 min. before it finally moved. <br>
I just didn't know if there is a trick, be it clutch position, in gear, in neutral etc. that I am missing.<br>

On the Kubota B7610 there on lock up pins on the MMM deck that fit in brackets in the frame. Unfortunately, since I widened my rear wheel width the rear roller wheel now hits the rear tire when I raise the deck making it impossible to lock the deck :--(. Generally it is better to have the MMM off for most things that require rear implement use. But it is time consuming, and has made me put off some projects because I would have to put the MMM right back on.

Below is the link to the skid plate kit parts diagram. The part number for the kit is:

LVB25453

cost: $327

The kit come with other items such as a C range lock out plate and some plastic fender plugs to disable the bells and whistles. This kit may also still be referred to as the "Rental Upgrade Kit" by the sales people.

Also be advised that this kit is incompatable with a MMM or any other mid mounted attachments such as a snow blower. Even the MMM lift servo and frame must be removed to install this kit. The kit is a great addition for working in heavy brush or in other applications where the wiring harnesses for the 4WD and other features could possibly become snagged and ripped out. They are not cheap to repair.

For tight quarter work a hydro will out live a clutch anyday! Mowing is also much easier with a hydro. To have long hard pulls a gear would give you better fuel economy but for an occasional pull a hydro will out work a gear drive as you have no flexibility of speed changes with a gear drive.
