Read articles →This is a real owner's DIY teardown, not a dealer walkaround: the creator diagnoses a hydraulic fluid leak from the gear shifter boot on his DK5010, pulls the fenders and seat platform to expose it, discusses a dealer's parts-diagram check, and covers routine upkeep (oil, air filter, hydraulic filter). It ends mid-repair as a 'part one,' with candid owner impressions on power, ballast, and dust/turbo concerns. Best for current DK5010 owners chasing a similar leak.
Posted by the Wes Mitchell Backyard Logging channel, an owner-operator sharing hands-on repair footage from his own tractor rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
It typically drips out between the fuel tank and the belly of the tractor, running down the rail underneath.
The gear shifter boot was leaking from the top, with pinholes visible and no seal found inside when removed.
You have to remove the fenders and the seat platform, since the shifter sits under the pan and slides out that way.
The owner estimated it would leak about a gallon in 16 hours, sometimes a little less.
