Ok.. My tractor is finally back up and running! I thought I'd pass over a few things that I learned during this experience. First, don't bother taking the pump to the local Diesel shop (at least if you're in the U.S.) since no one has the adaptors to actually run the pump to get it calibrated...

Thanks for all the feedback! I marked all the cylinders before they came out. Actually, the prior owner of the tractor did, by painting the engine and everything else with paint. When I took out the cylinders, based on the paint mark, I know within 1/16 of a mm where it goes. I think the main...

Ok.. I guess an update to this saga is in order! So, I took off the exhaust manifold so I could pop one of the pump shafts out of the housing. It turns out there is no gasket under the flange, but there are 3 o-rings along the shaft that seal in the fuel. They are almost impossible to find...

Assuming that the injector pipes are the pipes coming out of the top of the unit I'm pointing at in my picture, then they are all ok. I've found two possible part numbers for the gaskets, but no one has them in stock. I'm down to two possibilities. First, I could take some JB Weld and seal...

Thanks for the tip! Yes, it is leaking under the flange and not from the fuel line. If I pump the primer, I can watch the fuel 'bubble' out, so I know exactly where it is coming from. Do you know if there is a gasket or O-ring under that flange that I should be replacing? I don't want to...

I went out today to change all the fluids and get my 5211 ready for spring. Everything went well, but after running the tractor around for a little bit to check everything out, I noticed I have a pretty decent fuel leak coming from the fuel injector pump. Here are some pictures with an arrow...

I have the same problem with water in my 5211 hydraulic fluid. But, I think I figured out where the water was coming from. If the rubber boot at the bottom of the gear shifter is gone (like mine), then any water that runs down the gear shift will go straight into the tranny. I had a problem...

Thanks for the information! I went and did some more checking and the bleed valve is definitely missing. Oh well, when I find someone to come out and replace the clutch (it's down to about 10% wear left), I'll have them fix this as well.

I do have one other question. I was going to start another thread, but this one I started with a brake question, so I'll keep it in this one. I bled the brakes on the right tire using the bleed screw that is right next to the brake line on top of the axle. I think it helps to have a little bit...

I have a long over due update on my problem! I sold my house in 8 days (and was expecting it to take a few months at least), so I've been spending my time moving and doing all that fun stuff. However, this last weekend I went and power-washed my tractor so I could find all the inspection...

When I checked the brake fluid reservoir, it looked full. However, since I'm not 100% sure of the condition of the fluid, I'm going to do a complete fluid change and bleed of the system this weekend when I can get back out to my property. I'll check the system for leaks as well. Thanks for all...

My new-to-me 5211 tractor was delivered to me the other day and on my first drive around, it scared the crap out of me! I noticed the brakes weren't quite as 'authoritative' as I was expecting them to be. It took quite a bit of pressure on the pedal to get the tractor to grudgingly come to a...

My trailer is 5'6" wide. I finally had someone else down by the tractor go and measure it and it turns out it's right around 6' wide. Luckily, I found a transport service that will be able to move it for me at a pretty low cost. Since I'm pretty handy with a wrench, I doubt I'll have to haul...

I've recently purchased an 88' 5211 from a farmer who passed away. Unfortunately, the widow is 'tape measure' challenged and can't figure out the width of the tractor so I can determine if my trailer is wide enough to fit the tractor. The drive is several hundred miles, so I don't want to get...
