Does the joystick handle have the switch pack in it, or is it blank?

 

[Kennyd]

Ah...blank. It can be added, at what cost I don't know. The 5-series options in JDParts is confusing as all get-out.

Any chance you want to make a 5 series Diverter kit like my 3R kit I bought from you ??

Tractor is over spec for that valve IHMO. Best to stick with an OEM solution if we can figure it out.

I’ve got to do something about my mirrors. When the tractor was being delivered I lost one of them on the highway. Anyone have any alternatives that will stay in position and are cheaper than Deere?

For the price, these are sure worth a try:

Cab Tractor Side Mirror Cheap Alternative.

The factory side mirrors from John Deere for my 3039r with a cab are $200.00 to $220.00 and they look darn nice. I wanted a less expensive version so that I could see if I really even like side mirrors and I found these Jeep mirrors on Amazon. 30 bucks and I only had to do a little modifying...

Here is one option, but it gets expensive:

I haven't owned any previous 5 series. I'm getting a new 5075E, but I didn't get the third function for it.

Thanks for the link. I’ve been looking for that kit!

That appears to be a WR Long kit, it should work well.

 

[Kennyd]

It comes with a switch and not a lever which I like. Because then it would work with a grapple as well.

Yes, understood.
