Yes both, sorry for long reply delay.

Ok, after reading your post, I thought about that seat and I never really used the swivel or foresee a reason to use it. So cut the bottom portion of the swivel off, and welded the top portion to the mounting plate. I moved the whole thing back about 2 inches for additional (belly clearance)...

I have a Jinma 184 tractor, yesterday the seat basically self destructed. Does anyone know what bearing sets I need to get to reconstruct the pivot? There is just nothing left of the bearing set, but a few ball bearings. Also I have tried 2 of the Jinma dealers and they have no idea, other...

Has anyone added a return line Hydraulic Filter to a Jinma 184, 204 or any of the rebranced models? Would need to know what parts to get and a basic walk through for install. Thanks Gary Naselle, WA

Yeah, just irritating. First time mowing with it ran out of fuel 1/4 mile from the shop. It is only 5 acres but spread out along a long neighborhood drive. It ran through the 5 gallons on first try. May just mount a spare 1 gallon can to the mower.

Bought a new MZ61 zeroturn mower. It does not have a fuel gauge and even though the manual says it has a reserve tank, it doesn't. Anyone know of a way to install a fuel gauge in this doglegged plastic fuel tank?

Ok tractor running good! Was blowing the junk out of the radiator, and noticed that the fan/pulley assembly was rocking back and forth. Do I need a complete new water pump, or is this rebuildable? Or is the difference in price not worth the hassle? Oh yeah, engine is 18hp TY290, so it says...

Ok, here is the problem. I might be able to weld it from the out side but would not be very strong. Really need access to the back side, so guess I will order from Tommy. Gary

Shifted out of reverse. When to put it in first, nothing. Gear shift lever just flops around. Any suggestions. Going to pull transmission top and look inside, hopefully tomorrow when it is supposed to stop raining :confused:, but what am I looking for :confused2: ? Oh, yeah, only got 1/4...

I have a Jinma 184, 18hp, does anyone know of a small hay rake to fit this small tractor. I only have 5 acres, and maybe a few more if I could rake it up. Thanks. Gary

Symptom: Engine runs for 1 to 10 minutes then dies, acts like not getting fuel. :( Tried so far: Changed fuel filter, cleaned sediment bowl, traced fuel from take to injector pump, have fuel at primer, fuel at filter, fuel at return from filter. Primed pump, opened lines from injector, No...

On my Jinma 184 with the TY290 engine, in the front of the fuel injection pump there is what looks to be a fluid sump with a red cap on it. I cannot remember but is this the power steering fluid reservoir? If it is how do I tell when it has enough fluid in it? Right now I cannot see any...

When I had the tractor in to a Jinma dealer, no longer in business, the sending unit for the temperature gauge was broken, they replaced it with a new one, but it now reads backwards. Starts are 100+ red zone and then as it heats up moves toward 0. Oh, yeah, there is only one wire coming from...

What is the procedure to replace the short hose that runs from the thermostat housing down to the water pump, on a Jinma 184 with a yt290 2 cylinder engine? When putting the new radiator in, I noticed that this hose if very badly checked, but looks like either take off water pump or the plate...

Have a Jinma 184 with the yt290 2 cylinder motor. Now the question, when I took the radiator off to replace it, the fan belt was very tight with no adjustment, (had to take the adjustment arm off from the block) to get the belt off, and was pretty frayed. So decided to replace the belt while...
