As I had communicated in an earlier post, we were in the process of renovating our 16 year John Deere tractor. I am happy to report that the tractor is now complete and in like new condition. This was a fun project that our whole staff can be proud of as everyone worked on some part of the tractor.

Throughout the renovation process we performed the following;
- Replaced engine and transmission seals
- Replaced the steering linkages
- Replaced the clutch
- Replaced several hydraulic lines
- Installed a new dash and gauges
- Repainted the tractor and applied new decals
- Added an accessory electrical box
- Added a comfort fan for the operator
- Added additional lights
- Installed new tires and rims
- Topped it off with a new seat
 |
| JD 5210 completed with all new paint, decals, tires, etc. |
 |
| Upgraded operator's station. |

| Improvements include accessory switches for lights, foamer, implements, and comfort fan. |
It's important that we take care of the equipment we have and not only keep it in working condition but also maintain a presentable condition. With this renovation, the tractor will easily last another 16 years.
