Still looking at tractor options. Mahindra have just released the 1538 in Australia. Maybe more the size I'm after rather than the 4025 I'd been looking at. The finish looks great. More like a Kioti or similar. The 1538 comes with industrial tyres as standard with the ag tyres an extra $700...

Hi I posted this in the Kioti forum but haven't received any replies so thought I'd try the Mahindra group... Hi - looking for some opinions. I have had a Chinese Jinma 28 hp for 10 years which has been great in terms of learning how to fix tractors! It has done most things - slashing, post...

Hi - looking for some opinions. I have had a Chinese Jinma 28 hp for 10 years which has been great in terms of learning how to fix tractors! It has done most things - slashing, post hole digger, grading etc but no loader. But finally have the money saved for a new tractor. I live in Australia...

I'm trying to sort out my instruments on my Jinma 204, TY290 engine. Instrument cluster is the square style. Can anyone help me identify the wiring for the oil pressure sender. All three wires were off! I've attached a picture. I'm confused as to which is the actual sender. The top one one with...

Have any Aussie Jinma owners found a cross over fuel filter available in Australia for the standard CX0706 Jinma one? I have the TY 290 engine Looks to me by cross referencing the US filters listed on TBN that the following might work - Ryco Z167 Baldwin BF 790 Sakura FC 6201 Wondering if...

I've been having all the electrical problems encountered by many other owners. Gauges intermittent, now not working at all. I've been through loads of the old posts here which all say the same thing about bad grounds etc. I have pulled the cluster (older style), cleaned every terminal I can...

Continuing saga which you may have seen in my previous posts. I was losing coolant but not from anywhere obvious, overheating quickly, coolant coming out of the overflow, lots of pressure if the radiator cap removed, could hear bubbling in exhaust etc. Suspected faulty head gasket so changed...

Hi, I posted this as part of my recent thread on radiator issues - but thought worth putting it under a separate heading to try and get an answer. I've replaced the head gasket but having an issue with a fuel injector. It didn't seat properly and I discovered when I pulled it out again and...

My Jinma 204 started overheating badly on the weekend. TY290 engine. Hot day - mid 90's. It went into the red on the gauge so fast I thought it must be an electrical problem but sure enough when I got it back to the shed, the radiator was almost empty - and I had filled it before I left. I...

Finally raining in Australia in our area after months of drought. Another few weeks and we would've had to sell off our stock. This time last year I nearly lost my bridge in a flood! Spent today replacing the oil seals in the right steering knuckle on my Jinma 204. Did the left one last year...

Hi, looking for some mechanical advice on my Jinma 204 which I've had for 8 years. Now has 750 hours on the clock. I was coming down a steepish hill the other day, which I do regularly, in 2nd gear in low range. No implements on. The tractor began to "run away". Didn't lose traction, but the...

It has been a bad few months for fires in parts of Australia with many people losing their homes. I'm one of the lucky ones whose property survived but thought I'd share a few photos. A fire had been burning near our farm for some weeks but it was in rugged country and it was impossible for...

Many thanks for the comments. The bridge is anchored to the footings with two bolts and straps on each beam end. The poles were cut from a neighbouring property where some loggers were removing selected trees. Memory serves me right they are Tallowood. Lots of discussion about dismantling the...

I replaced the bridge on my 100 acre farm a year or so ago. The new bridge was placed on a concrete section of roadway that was built about 20 years ago. I then built the roadway up to the new bridge. The original plan was to position the bridge on a new location higher above the water, but on...

I've been planning a new bridge for my creek crossing for some time and finally took a week off to get it started. I have two old bridges - a high bridge which is very rotten and a low bridge which we still use but only for light traffic. I had thought about using a flat rack shipping...
