Modern Tractor Discussion Board Topic: Re: JD 5210 [Show Entire Topic] [Return to Forum] Author [expand] [Modern View] Dan Rodgers 04-27-2009 12:16:47 206.248.34.106 20431 Report to Moderator Haywood, thanks for the reply. I went to the site you recommended and it"s great. I"ll bookmark it for future needs. They didn"t say which springs & pistons may be a problem. He said he"s seen this problem before with the 5210s and he knows what is needed. He"s going to make a parts list and get me a price and then one for labor. I"ll bet it"s something I can do myself. I"ve been restoring tractors for a year now and I"m capable of doing it, but, I don"t have a manual. They want (get this) $300 for a service manual. Can you believe that? Thanks again. You"ve been a tremendous help.

Divide by your favorite dealer or repair shop's prevailing labor rate to see how much it's really worth in time.   [Reply]  [No Email] Haywood 04-27-2009 14:04:10 67.185.83.238 20432 Report to Moderator Re: JD 5210 in reply to Dan Rodgers, 04-27-2009 12:16:47   Sure Dan, Glad to help. thinking maybe the springs are weak in the foot valve not returning the spool like it should..another hunch. I worked for a Kubota dealer and many years with a IHC Truck dealer. $300 sounds like a lot of money for a good Manual until you weigh in the alternative then it doesn"t seem so bad. If you plan to have the tractor for a long time it would still be worth getting. Especially for a 5210 model tractor. Just some more friendly advice from a Mechanic who used to make estimates for repairs and deliver bad news......and sometimes good news.:<}   [Reply]  [No Email] [Show Entire Topic]   [Options]  [Printer Friendly]  [Return to Forum]   [Add a Reply] Hop to: Another Forum Tractor Talk Tool Talk Restoration Tips Paint & Bodywork Implement Alley Tractor Transporting Allis Chalmers Case Combines Crawlers Farmall & IH Ford Ford 9N,2N & 8N Fordson John Deere MH & MF Harry Ferguson Minneapolis Moline Oliver & Cockshutt Garden Tractors Orphans Stationary Engines Today's Tractors Memorabilia Tractor Tales Using Your Tractor Tractor Pulling Site Comments Test Forum Buyer Seller Feedback Kountry Life Classic Trucks
