No Hydraulics on KAMA 354X

[Woodsman1234]

Thanks J.J.
I was figuring that while I have the tractor apart I would get rid of the Quick Disconnects entirely and replace them with all hose. I never take the FEL off so I don't really need them. If I remember correctly, someone on this site suggested to do that a long time ago. Wish I had listened.
If I would put in a bypass how do I find out the working pressure of the pump to size the bypass valve?

Thanks
David

Woodsman,
With the PTO lever Engaged and the engine off, can you still move the PTO Aux shaft with a wrench?

erj, engine off, clutch out, PTO engaged, I can move both of them clockwise and counterclockwise by hand easily. I hear either the bearings rumbling or some other something unknown to me. When I turn one the other one turns too.

David,
Thank you for the verification. I agree with you that it is probably (64) or the associated levers.

Another suggestion - Rich suggested earlier that it would be worthwhile to verify that the pump that you have is made for rear mounting. I think that is worth a phone call to the supplier.

David, that sounds like the PTO shaft speed control is not in neutral (which makes no difference for your testing).

As I recall, the blown pump was a CBN210. I called Chip at Artrac and he didn't have one. Tommy at Affordable told me that the CBN310 Jinma Backhoe pump he sold me would work fine, just that It was a higher GPM pump than the 210. I checked the rotation of the pump shaft before I put the pump on and it looked like it was rotating in the right direction. I could check it again but the shaft still won't turn with the tractor running and pump off.

Since Tommy said that it was a Jinma backhoe pump, it should work fine. That verifies that it will turn in the proper direction.

This is the way that I post pictures on Internet web-sites like this.
I take the picture with a digital camera and save it on the computer as a .JPG file.
Then I go to a website called PhotoBucket.com. You will need to have set up an account on that site. As you post pictures there, a library will be created.
At the top of the screen you will see a button titled “upload”. When you click on this button you will be able to search your computer to find the file that contains the picture you want to upload.
When you want to share the picture on a website you click on the picture. On the left side of the screen you will see two options. You want to click on the one titled IMG. This will load the ‘link’ information onto the clipboard of your computer. You can then do a Paste into the message that you are writing on the Web-site.

erj, I saved your message as to how to post a picture and I will use it to post some photos of the controls on my KAMA. I thought I knew how to use my computer but I learn new stuff from people like you. Thanks for the info.

I suggest you keep the QDs in place, but secure them with cable ties. You think you'll never take the loader off, but that just might come back to BYITA. Especially if you have problems with the lift/curl valves some day. The cable tie thing is a trick Jinma owners have been using for years. Their 200 series have a single engine driven pump for the whole tractor. On the supply side of the pump there's a pigtail hose maybe 18" long. The hose mates to the tractor hydraulic loop with by means of a QD coupler. Said coupler is notorious for popping open, and some creative soul came up with the cable tie trick. Get 3 heavy duty cable ties, loosely wrap one around the rubber on the male half of the QD, do the same thing with another tie on the female half. Then connect the two together with a third. Pull both hose ties tight, then pull the 3rd tie tight. Haven't heard of a single subsequent case of QD separation from any of those who've used the method.
