    KAMA 354C Parts?

    It's been a couple years since I broke my 354C so I haven't logged onto Tractorbynet. Well I broke my tractor and need parts. I checked Chip's website (Previous KAMA Expert!) and they don't sell KAMA anymore. Is there anybody stocking parts for KAMA tractors? I need a steering arm (Again). Tim

    KAMA TS 354C Clutch ADJ

    My KAMA came with 3 Manuals, Parts, Engine and Operator. The Operator manual explaines Clutch Pedal adjustment and "mentions" a 2-3 mm gap between 3 Clutch fingers and throw out bearing. However it does not explain how to adjust the gap. The Parts manual shows gap setting for Primary and Aux...

    Strangest Rattle

    Since new my KAMA 354C would on occasion be hard to put into gear (any gear, forward revers, hi/Lo ...) The gears would grind as if clutch was not fully disengaging. This only happened on occasion and when it would happen I would notice a rattling sound as soon as I pressed the clutch in. If I...

    Tires  Need a 6.50-16 AG tire!

    In a previous post concerning my front tire rupture I asked if anybody knew of a replacement I could obtain locally. Well, so far I can't seem to find one locally so I'm hoping one of the fine dealers here has one in stock or can order a new one for me. Please reply or PM me. the ruptured tire...

    Front Tire Rupture

    My KAMA 354C had one front tire rupture on the sidewall. I drive through some rough stuff and something may have ripped it but I suspect it was a combination of too much weight and too much air as I see no major external marks, just a 1" long rip. The other side still has 35 PSI and I have no...

    KAMA 354C tire Pressure

    At one time I think I saw the recommended tire pressure listed in my operators manual. Today I went looking for that info and can't seem to find it. I have a 2005 (Pre EPA) KAMA TS 354C with AG tires. All work is done in soft sand here in South Florida. Any recommendations for tire pressure...

    Loosening Bolts

    My KAMA 354C has treated me well for it's first 50 hours so I'm giving her a break while I do maintenance and fix the little things. This one has me stumped! About every 4 hours the front left axle starts dripping oil. There are (6) 18mm bolts that connect the axle to the Gear/Wheel assembly...

    FEL Functionality

    I have a KAMA 354C with Koyker 160 FEL. I have a 3 spool valve to control Lift, tilt and grapple attachment. Everything seems to work but I'm curious about the Downward TILT. The bucket will tilt up properly under hydraulic control but it seems the Down Tilt is activated by Gravity, not...

    Oil Viscosity

    I'm in South Florida and have a new KAMA 354C with 10 hours on it. Upon delivery I changed all fluids and put Rotela 5-40 in the engine. When I first start it up the Oil pressure sits about midway on the needle, .3. After about 20 minutes the needle Oil needls starts creeping down towards the...

    Deception?

    Is it possible for a Dealer disguised as a consumer to be Bashing other brands on TBN. Would a Deealer actually stoop so low as pretend he's not a dealer and start bragging about the brand he's actually selling? Are there any Chinese Tractor Dealers so DESPERATE they would resort to such...

    Heavy Rear End

    I have a KAMA 354C with a 600 LB grapple up front. I'd like to add some more weight to the rear end to balance things out a bit. I already have rear Wheel Weights. I thing 500 pounds would balance things out and give me better traction. Filling the tires is one way but I'm looking for a...

    Primative Alignment?

    In a previous post I mentioned my Steering Arm broke and my new KAMA 354 was STRANDED. My dealer shipped me a new steering arm and it arrived yesterday. I plan on installing it this weekend. After installing steering arm I'll need to align the front wheels. I have a couple 8 foot conduit...

    Stranded!

    Well. I managed to really break my new KAMA 354C and I'm stuck in the jungle! My steering arm broke and my Right wheel is turning Right, while my Left wheel is turning Left! Darn, why couldn't I break it while it was in my garage. Anyway When sitting on the tractor, the LEFT arm is broke, but...

    Blind?

    After reading about the compression release I can't remember seeing one on my KAMA 354C. I think my engine manual also says something about activating an electrical device temporarily before starting. I think they mean Glow Plugs. I can't remember seeing any switches (or wiring) for Glow Plugs...
