Tractor
Eclipse DT254(aka Jimna 254) John Deere 40U
Hello All, new guy here. My name is Jim ( Jeem is the id )

A neighbor is trying to sell me a compact Chinese Tractor. He bought it new many many years ago. Pretty sure it is made by Jinma, but it was sold under a now defunct Brand Name. (Eclipse) Have done a little digging, but keep finding dead ends for an accurate and complete cross reference. Here is what it is. Can you help with a Jinma cross reference number? Would like to find some manuals and support for parts etc. etc.

Elcipse model DT254 - three cylinder, 4WD diesel tractor with a Y385 engine ( think this is a Yangdong ?) online sources conflict- either a 25hp or 30 hp??

One the fender nameplate it reads; Number 21425
Date 02 5


FWIW, the tractor is Blue - I'd almost call it Ford Blue.

Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks Wide. Yes, it might be, but have not found an older 254 to compare it to or a cross reference. Was hoping could find a list of "Jinma built these other branded tractors" by model. May be a dream. Will keep digging. The tractor has a few known issues (tach not working, lights fouled up, damaged PTO drive shield, etc. etc.) and could even use an operators manual! Will keep digging.
