It's been a couple years since I broke my 354C so I haven't logged onto Tractorbynet. Well I broke my tractor and need parts. I checked Chip's website (Previous KAMA Expert!) and they don't sell KAMA anymore. Is there anybody stocking parts for KAMA tractors? I need a steering arm (Again). Tim

My KAMA came with 3 Manuals, Parts, Engine and Operator. The Operator manual explaines Clutch Pedal adjustment and "mentions" a 2-3 mm gap between 3 Clutch fingers and throw out bearing. However it does not explain how to adjust the gap. The Parts manual shows gap setting for Primary and Aux...

Since new my KAMA 354C would on occasion be hard to put into gear (any gear, forward revers, hi/Lo ...) The gears would grind as if clutch was not fully disengaging. This only happened on occasion and when it would happen I would notice a rattling sound as soon as I pressed the clutch in. If I...

In a previous post concerning my front tire rupture I asked if anybody knew of a replacement I could obtain locally. Well, so far I can't seem to find one locally so I'm hoping one of the fine dealers here has one in stock or can order a new one for me. Please reply or PM me. the ruptured tire...

My KAMA 354C had one front tire rupture on the sidewall. I drive through some rough stuff and something may have ripped it but I suspect it was a combination of too much weight and too much air as I see no major external marks, just a 1" long rip. The other side still has 35 PSI and I have no...

At one time I think I saw the recommended tire pressure listed in my operators manual. Today I went looking for that info and can't seem to find it. I have a 2005 (Pre EPA) KAMA TS 354C with AG tires. All work is done in soft sand here in South Florida. Any recommendations for tire pressure...

My KAMA 354C has treated me well for it's first 50 hours so I'm giving her a break while I do maintenance and fix the little things. This one has me stumped! About every 4 hours the front left axle starts dripping oil. There are (6) 18mm bolts that connect the axle to the Gear/Wheel assembly...

I have a KAMA 354C with Koyker 160 FEL. I have a 3 spool valve to control Lift, tilt and grapple attachment. Everything seems to work but I'm curious about the Downward TILT. The bucket will tilt up properly under hydraulic control but it seems the Down Tilt is activated by Gravity, not...

I've heard a few people mention Stump pulling and I'm curious as to what techniques have worked and what typical limitations are. I have a KAMA 354C, Some heavy chain and 1/4" cable. I have a variety of trees sizes I'm cutting down and the stumps are a major obstacle. some trees are 4"...

I'm in South Florida and have a new KAMA 354C with 10 hours on it. Upon delivery I changed all fluids and put Rotela 5-40 in the engine. When I first start it up the Oil pressure sits about midway on the needle, .3. After about 20 minutes the needle Oil needls starts creeping down towards the...

Is it possible for a Dealer disguised as a consumer to be Bashing other brands on TBN. Would a Deealer actually stoop so low as pretend he's not a dealer and start bragging about the brand he's actually selling? Are there any Chinese Tractor Dealers so DESPERATE they would resort to such...

I have a KAMA 354C with a 600 LB grapple up front. I'd like to add some more weight to the rear end to balance things out a bit. I already have rear Wheel Weights. I thing 500 pounds would balance things out and give me better traction. Filling the tires is one way but I'm looking for a...

In a previous post I mentioned my Steering Arm broke and my new KAMA 354 was STRANDED. My dealer shipped me a new steering arm and it arrived yesterday. I plan on installing it this weekend. After installing steering arm I'll need to align the front wheels. I have a couple 8 foot conduit...

Well. I managed to really break my new KAMA 354C and I'm stuck in the jungle! My steering arm broke and my Right wheel is turning Right, while my Left wheel is turning Left! Darn, why couldn't I break it while it was in my garage. Anyway When sitting on the tractor, the LEFT arm is broke, but...

After reading about the compression release I can't remember seeing one on my KAMA 354C. I think my engine manual also says something about activating an electrical device temporarily before starting. I think they mean Glow Plugs. I can't remember seeing any switches (or wiring) for Glow Plugs...

I'm down in South Florida clearing out a lot of trees and logs that have been destroyed by 2 years of nasty hurricanes. The soil down here is sometimes called "Sugar Sand". Traction is minimal and when I loose traction with the rear tires I instantly dig a hole. I thought about using the...

Yesterday was the first time I had a chance to put my new KAMA 354 to work. First thhing I noticed was all the guages were not functioning except maybe the ammeter. I checked the fuses and sure enough the second one from left was blown. These are the type of fuses that have extra fuse material...

My local gas station has Diesel fuel along the normal petro pumps. My manual says use type "0" but I think I read a prevoius discussion that says use type "1". In any case the Pump does not tell me what type it is, it's just Diesel. Being sold at a small gas station, not a truck stop, It's...

I expected to do a little wrenching on my new KAMA 354C before I actually use it. But this one scares me a bit: While draining the 4 speed gear box to change lube I saw a lot of glitter in the oil as it poared out. I heard the Chinese leave a lot of crap behind so I wasn't too alarmed. Then as...

Well, earlier this week I mentioned my dealer overflowing Reservior by lowering the FEL when engine was off. Today I went to pull it out of garage so I could change all the fluids. It took about 2 minutes before the hydraulics allowed the FEL to raise so I could back it ou of garage. Knowing...

So far I only drove my new 354 a few feet to park it in the garage until I do all the Maitenance this weekend. But I noticed something that may need attention: When placing the Shuule Lever in Forward the lever hits the dash. Although it goes into gear I'm not sure it is going "All the Way" and...

My dealer just delivered my KAMA 354C an hour ago. After he left I found a puddle of Hydraulic Fluid. It is parked on a very slight incline (Front Up). The Vented cap has a 3" dipstick with only only one visible marking about 1/3" from the bottom. I can't find any level recommendations in the...

Hello Tractor People Most the replies to my previous post added suggestions to change all the fluids. I would like to be prepared for this the day my tractor arrives. (A) How muc and what type Engine Oil should I get? (B) How much and what type Hydraulic Fluid should I get? I ordered a Koyker...

Hello everybody! I would like to introduce myself after lurking in the background for several months. My name is Tim and I acquired the name MrFixit long ago because I "attempt" to fix things even though I have no idea how they work. Near 99% success rate. The other 1% was fixed by a hammer. I...
