We are finally getting around to making some more improvements to Loretta's 284 Jinma.
On the list are several items which include (not necessarily in order):
-Add tool box(es) (including the ones Larry gave me a couple years ago).
-Add a Filter Minder gauge for the air filter.
-Add FEL stabilizers from the uprights to the rear end.
-Replace all the Chinese hydraulic valves with a new 4 spool Prince SV.
-Add Top and Tilt with 2 hydraulic side links and DPOCV's on all cylinders.
-Add 2 new rear remotes (replacing one that doesn't work)
-Reposition her grapple on the bucket so it will shut better and also move it forward to the tooth bar tips.
-Whatever else we can think of ... lol.
I know it's a big list and some of the mods will take a lot of time and work so it might drag out a bit. I'll use this thread to document when I get around to doing each of them and I promise not to bore you with every milling cut or every fabrication detail. I want to show you only some of the building process and of course, the results.
For example, I already got the Filter Minder installed. I must have bought it about a year ago when Larry installed the one on my Kama. It's a gauge that tells you when the air filter gets plugged up. Here is where I put the vacuum tube on the intake just before the air filter. The other photos shows the gauge mounted in her dash.
Notice she's already got 118 hours on her Jinma.
