5310 Serial Numbers:
Location: The tractor's serial number plate is on the right side of the frame, above the front axle.
 
JD also had a 510 and a 710 build in Germany in the 1960 era. If you have one of these tractors, I wish you luck. Parts are next to impossible to find for a JD510. They were a good little tractor in their day, some place in the 40-50hp range. Many were imported into Canada to compete with other European import tractors of the time like David Brown. I believe the 510 and 710 JD tractors were built in the old Lanz factory.
 
Assuming it's a 5010, yes it has power steering. Unless something is seized up, it should be possible to turn the steering wheel with great difficulty, but it would be best if you can get it to start. The power steering runs off the hydraulic pump, which is driven off the front of the crankshaft. If the starter will turn the engine, you can crank the engine as you turn the steering wheel to make it a bit easier.

It most likely has a 24 volt system, so you won't be able to jump it if the batteries are dead. I'd put a couple of freshly-charged 12 volt batteries in it and see if it will crank. You might even be able to get it to start. If it's a diesel, there's probably a "cold start" fitting near the bottom of the console: Unscrew its cap, and remove the spray nozzle from a can of starting fluid. Stick the top of the ether can into the cold start fitting and give it a shot while cranking.

I don't imagine JD sold a lot of 5010s in North Carolina. It's a big tractor and they were fairly popular out west.
