John Deere 5300 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 5300, introduced in 1993, was a key model in John Deere's utility tractor lineup during the mid-1990s. Production continued until 1997. It was powered by a John Deere 3029D 2.9L 3-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 66 engine horsepower. The tractor offered a choice of transmissions, including a synchro range transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears or a synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 12 reverse gears, providing versatility for different field conditions. The PTO delivered approximately 58 horsepower, with a standard 540 RPM rear PTO. The hydraulic system had a capacity of around 12.7 GPM, with typically two remote valves available. The 3-point hitch was a Category II, offering a lift capacity of around 3,300 lbs. Common applications included hay baling, mowing, loader work with materials, and light tillage. The 5300 distinguished itself from smaller models with its increased horsepower and heavier-duty construction, making it suitable for more demanding tasks, while remaining a more compact and economical choice than larger row crop tractors.
