if i remember the 5130 has a normally aspirated Cummins B block six cylinder motor, it's as strong as an ox, 9000hrs should be a problem as long as it has been well maintained. I used a 5150 in the early nineties and still have a 5240 today (it's a 1997 model), we only ever had one problem with a 5150 evolving the tranny, and that was due to the engine pumping out over 175hp at the PTO shaft, after 5000 hrs of hard work, mainly plowing/heavy cultivation and pulling a potato harvester. The main shaft in the 4speed transmission failed locking the machine solid, we needed a crane to get it out of the field! Other than that they've been good tractors, I've never heard of problems with the smaller models outside of the usual leaking oil seals on the front axle planetary drives, check to make sure there are no signs of baler twine between the hub and king pin assembly - that's the usual cause of the problem, ours need replacing every two or three years, it's not a big job, but it gets to be a pain in the behind if you have to do it regularly. On the front axle planetary also check to see if the cover plate and or wheel nuts have come lose. The pate is held on by two of the wheel studs (they have a collar on the stud) and two countersunk allen head bolts, they do on occasion come lose and spray gear oil everywhere on the wheel - that will damage bearings quickly if it's run without oil for very long. If the tractor is a powershift then make sure the oil is clean and the filter is changed regularly otherwise we've had no more problems with ours. I've never operated on of these with no powershift so i can't comment on the regular syncro transmission, but I've not heard of problems. They are a good range of tractors, usually very reliable. oj in manitoba

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
