Tractor Service & Repair for Orange
It works on tractors, implements and mowers. Spring is the busiest stretch, when the grass turns green and every machine goes back to work. Orange stands at the junction of the Sabine River and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The county is level and low, with loam over clayey subsoils. Wet spells, mud and Piney Woods debris all show up in the shop. You can schedule service online.
Our service department handles routine maintenance and repair work on tractors, implements and mowers. Equipment that works your land all year needs regular care to keep going strong. Oil changes, filter changes, hydraulic work, and engine repair all happen in the shop. A machine that won't start, won't lift or runs rough is shop work too. Whether something breaks down in the field or a routine service comes due, our service department handles the work. We work on other brands too.

Questions people ask
Why does my tractor keep running hot in summer?
Most often, the radiator can't breathe. Dust, chaff, leaves and pine straw pack into the fins until air barely moves. Then the engine runs hot. Keep running it that way and you're risking head gasket trouble. On a cab tractor, the condenser clogs the same way, so the A/C stops cooling too. Blow both out with air after dusty or brushy work. If the fins are clean and it still runs hot, the shop can find out why.
Does Orange County's damp air put water in tractor fuel?
It can. Most water gets into diesel through condensation, in a tank that sits partly empty. On a humid stretch of coast, that's worth guarding against. Water in fuel costs real money to repair. It brings hard starts and rough running, and it rusts the fuel system from inside. Park the tractor with a full tank. Drain the water separator if your tractor has one. Change the fuel filter at the interval your manual gives.
What should I tell the shop when I call about a problem?
The make, the model and what the machine is doing that it shouldn't. Note when it started and what you were doing at the time. Mention any noise, smell or warning light. If a loader or shredder is part of the problem, say so, since the shop works on implements too. From Orange, a good description matters. It helps the shop know what it's looking at before the tractor makes the drive. Then call the store with your notes.
Does the shop take tractors that came from somewhere other than J5?
Yes. We work on other brands too, and where you bought the machine doesn't matter. The shop works on almost anything it can get parts for. That includes equipment with Kohler, Briggs & Stratton or Kawasaki small engines. Tractors, implements and mowers all qualify. Before you haul one in, phone with the make and model. Describe what it's doing or not doing, too. That gives the shop a place to start once it arrives from Orange.
Can the shop work on my loader and shredder, not only the tractor?
Yes. The shop handles implements as well as tractors and mowers. A loader that drifts, a cylinder that leaks or a shredder gearbox that whines are all shop work. So are bent blades and worn spindles. Bring the implement in with the tractor if the trouble involves both. A leaking loader valve, for one, might be on either side of the hitch. Late winter is a good time to have it checked, before the spring rush.
