I have a JM 354 that has a factory installed "spin-on" hydraulic filter just before the Hydro pump on the suction line. I have read on this site and others that on the suction line you should have no smaller filtration than a 150 micron suction screen. This is said to prevent from starving...

Hey everyone, I am about halfway through my school but I wanted to go ahead and try to get things ready so I can finish this project when I get home. I re-posted my original question and added a few more. I received some great responses from my original post but I want some additional...

Hey guys, I got a question; I am in the process of converting my ZL-30 FEL on my JM 354 to a Prince loader valve. I am buying Metric female to NPT male converter couplings, should I use ½ or 3/8 inch hose? Also if anyone has done this, has the same type/style of tractor and has some pointers...

Need some help, I read an earlier post where someone listed a type of crush washer they used to seal the FEL hose connections that were better than the China supplied ones. The washer looked kind-of like a flat washer with a rubber O-ring mounted inside it. They stated that they were a one...

I read a post where someone was replaceing their Jinma FEL valve with a "Prince" brand. NJ-Jinma said he had done the same and listed the type of valve he purchased from Prince Hydraulic Supply Company. If someone still has that "link", the part number, know where I can find it, or if NJ-Jinma...

I was wondering if anyone has put a inline hydro filter on their LW or other type of backhoe? I have seen these for sale at Northern Tool, Tractor Supply Co, JC Whitney and others. They seem like they would work on the suction line just like the Jinma factory installed ones for the tractor...

I have a 4’ GX 120 tiller, my problem is that I can barely hook the PTO shaft to it do too how close it is to the back of my JM 354. I want to put my slip clutch on it but I do not have enough room. The lower arms are not adjustable and I do not want to cut my PTO shaft. Do they make...

Does anyone know what speed the hrdro pump spins at when mounted on the back of the tractor above the PTO to operate a three point hitch Backhoe?

Well I did it, and I know this was my own choice, I was kind-of weary of using Kero to flush the Hydro system. I made the assumption (my first mistake) that the factory manual and the info from this site and others was the best way to go. My thoughts were that Kero does not have enough...

Does anyone know of a replacement filter for the spin on hydraulic filter for the JM 354 (JX0811A, Bengbu filter Co.)? Also, when "hooking up" the LW-7 back hoe what is this shaft I read about that is needed for the LW-7 to operate? How does it work? how do you install it? Thanks kbone1

GC 150Z 60\" chinese finish mower,gear oil,grease? The gear box on my finish mower has a filler bolt on the top side of it. When I looked in it you can see grease, Should I add gear oil and top it off? There is no grease zirk fitting on it, but there is also no drain on it either. If I add...

On a JM 354, How do I select between 540 and 720 RPM speed on my PTO? Thanks, Kbone1

I will try to put my LW-7 backhoe together this weekend and I am formulating what materials I need to fabricate a frame mount system for this backhoe to fit on my JM 354. Would ¼ inch plate be strong enough and hold up well to the stresses of a LW-7 backhoe on a JM 354? I will not build the...

I have a JM 354 with the 395E3 engine which makes it a 30hp I believe but that's OK because the torque is about the same. Anyway, I want to get a box blade and a bush hog of some type. I know my track is about 60 inches wide, but I am not sure what size box blade and bush hog my tractor can...
