Jinma 254 Transmission question

Yeah,creeper low/low you can keep up with it belly crawling.

I believe that the speeds with creeper in Lo and HI/LO shift in Lo are:
.20mph forward in 1st gear and .16mph reverse

How fast are these things in creeper, anyhow - never seen one and I'm curious. Could he be confusing creeper/slow with almost no motion?

I have never measured it but heard its something like 57' per hour. I use my creeper gears all the time pulling stumps but you use regular gears to get the chain tight then drop it down and pull

When you say the tractor moves a few feet then stops, is that with it in gear and the clutch engaged (pedal fully out)?
If so, I think Chip and Steve are on the right track. Not that I would recommend it, but the tractor should move (while in gear) even if you had nothing in the trans. It's gear driven. I think if it stops while still in gear it's a clutch or linkage related problem.

I only saw one, on the bottom of the trans pan. Where are the other 3 located?
Thanks

Why don't you tell us more about this slow moving problem or moving and than stopping moving,or whatever it is,thats what every bodys interested in now.O r did you take it out of creeper and it now works fine?

Here is the 'cheat sheet' that I use when servicing mine.

It's not in creeper mode. I don't think it is clutch related, as it goes into gears forward and reverse no problems. I would describe it like it slips. It may lurch foward a couple of feet, and then stop. It has a difficult time moving on an incline. This started about two weeks ago, so I looked at the fluid an it appeared dirty, so I changed it. I drained off only about 1 gallon of trans oil through the bottom plug. Is there a hidden screen or filter that I am missing?. The clutch depresses fine, and returns all the way back to the normal position. The PTO works fine, so I would assume that the issue is not with the return on the clutch, but maybe I am missing on this one?

Sounds clutch related to me,3rrl is reading this,he's your man!

If it's the clutch, Ron at www.ranchhandsupply.com has good info.

That is a two stage clutch, as you're probably aware. It seems clutch related to me as well.

Does it make a difference 2WD/4WD? It seems improbable to me, but either way you've started to isolate the problem.

Good luck.
