I have a 5230. While I've had no major issues with it, the electrical/hydraulic/shift has been a nightmare. I only bought this tractor because I know a young fellow who was with CaseIH, and has all the factory service, and update info. on these tractors. The first thing he did was change the power shift module, which fried because of a bad ground. He knew just exactly which little pin connecter, out of a whole bunch, to go after and replace. Turns out they have little brown ground wires all over this tractor, for dedicated grounds for different functions. The problem is, if the main battery ground becomes compromised, the whole system tries to ground through some of these little wires, and fries them.
There are three, I think, "diode packs" which look like 5 or 6 wire connector ends, but don't go anywhere. They plug into various harnesses, on the right side, under the cab. I have replaced two of them. They affect three point operation.
I have replaced about every solenoid, except for the power shift ones. Forward/reverse/MFWD/PTO/diff lock/etc.
None of this was done with the shotgun approach. Each was checked out with the service info and replaced as necessary.
My guy recently installed a dedicated power supply, up under the dash, for the power shift. It didn't help. What it's doing is now with a heavy load on the three point, the power shift quits working!! He's found some obscure service info on some kind of electrical fix, which blocks the draft sensing(which is electrical) from affecting the power shift! That will be installed before spring work begins.

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
