KAMA TS254C--------------Blew my hydraulic pump (outer case cracked and oil blew all over) while pulling a huge load of stone in my box blade. Replaced pump after some rotation issues and finally got hydraulics to work. Shortly afterward went to use machine and found most of the fluid on the...

Put new pump on my Kama TS254 and filled reservoir-----which is stacked higher than tranny. Hydra fluid now coming up from bottom of shift lever. I thought the two different reservoirs were internally separated. Could something inside have busted when the pump cracked???

Have 2 options I'm looking at for my tractor--------- 1.Recommended for Tractors 18 to 35HP. Digging Force - 2450 lbs - Dipper-stick Cylinder Digging Force - 1250 lbs - Hydraulic Volume Requirements - 4 to 5 GPM. Hydraulic Pressure Requirements - 2250 psi. Maximum Digging Depth - 7'0"...

Local dealer had to grind down oversize Chinese hose to get standard connector to fit----worked good but need to change more cylinders and want to find a better way. Should add that I bent a cylinder and had to replace with new American cylinder and connectors did not match---odd ball threads on...

Hello to everyone---long time no see. Things been good---or self solveable---til yesterday. Had my back blade on and dragged a big bunch of stones and other debris into my wooded dump pile and noticed my blade wasn't going up as high as it normally would. Thought the upper link adjusting bar...

I tried continuing a previous thread entitled "throw out bearing seized???", but did not get much response. So I started this new thread. I am hoping there is someone out there that has more detailed info on how to do this without wasting time on taking apart unnecessary stuff. "Lakespirit"...

Can't find anything about a leaf or grass vacuum/collector that would be driven off my PTO. Seems to me that an attachment like that would be available for all tractors. George

My Kama Owners manual has a wiring schematic in it that is sooooo incredibly small that 3 pairs of glasses and a magnifying glass still will not allow me to identify all but a few of the number tags on the wires. I don't need to know them now but if in the future I need to trace a line it won't...

Decided to remove Chinese fuses due to the plastic part starting to deform. Plan to leave box in place and jump gap with in-line fuses (automotive type-mini's). Need to know the rating. Don't have an amp meter. Thanks, Geo.

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT THIS NOTE IS MAINLY FOR OWNERS THAT HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT SEALED THROW OUT BEARINGS THAT APPEAR TO BE "GREASABLE". My bearing supply guy says that sealed bearings come from the factory with about 50% grease inside. Adding more to this can actually create heat build up and...

This is a Kama TS254C. My clutch pedal suddenly got a lot of play in it. After adjusting it I looked around the area and noticed a tag I never saw before. I suspected there was something wrong because it went out of adjustment too fast. Apparently you need to lube the throw out bearing...

I have a 25 HP Kama TS254 with a typical TPH setup and would like to know what is involved in attaching separate cylinders so the two sides worked independently. There are presently two short arms that come off the sides of the hydraulic reservoir that move the hitch up and down together. It...

Just attached my new Chinese hoe (I think it's the same, or very similar to the LW-6) to my 25 HP Kama tractor. The hoe has a large hose and a small one. I have the large one bringing the fluid to the hoe and the small one returning to the pump. I just read an article saying the large hose is...

Recently purchased a Guilin (LW-6) backhoe attachment with a subframe. The "face seal" connectors at the end of the backhoe hoses did not match up to the metric threads on my tractors' quick connects. No one had metric size face seal adapters. Spent many hours on the net and called almost...

What is the correct pressure for these tires and what do the letters and numbers mean: Fronts- Tai Shan---6:00/16---R-I---Nylon---6PR---Rim-4.50E Rear- Teng Jiang---9.50/24---R-I---Nylon---8PR---Rim-W8 George

Having a hard time finding adapters to go from my "Guilin" backhoe hose ends to the quick connect coupler that will complete the circuit to the tractor hydraulics. This coupler is Chinese. It came off this tractor when I decided to remove it from one of the hose lines in favor of attaching the...

Hello. Just bought a 6' hoe for my Kama 25 HP. Has a sub frame with it but not made for my model----I knew that when I bought it. Rather than use the factory hook up (after I modified the mounting brackets) I can see it would still be a pain to get this off and on. You would need to...

I have an almost one year old 25 HP diesel Kama, and love this new tool. I am starting to reclaim my five acres and find I could get more things done if I had some attachments that I am not sure even exist. I need to bury some pipes and wires. I could use a device that would attach to the...

First time on the road with my TS254 tractor. Drove to a neighbors to staighten out his driveway. The tractor was in 4th gear/Hi and probably doing 25mph??. It started to wander a bit at top speed and I figured it wasn't going to handle like a Porsche so I just kept playin with it til I got...

Have a Kama Ts254. Used it this winter to remove snow (near Phila. Pa.). Hydraulics were veeery slow---but got the job done. They are not really fast even in the warm weather---but OK. What can I do about this----change pump??? Or is it the cylinder size---not knowledgeable about...

Would find it very helpful if some one had step-by-step instructions on assembling a crated LW7--or similar---backhoe. Pictures of the operation would be even better....especially info on the hydraulic connections. I know this size hoe is "on the border" of being too big for this tractor but...

Anyone with info--especially pictures--of stabilizer bars for my Kama TS254 three point hitch would be appreciated. Want to take some of the wiggle out of the system when using my rear blade and other implements. Won't need it for the hoe---will have a subframe for that. Is this an item that...

Getting ready to purchase an L7 Bulldog backhoe (made by Guilin?). The seller tells me the subframe is meant to easily attach to a Kama TS 354 and may need modifications to mount to my 254. Wondering how much modification would be needed, if any. I cannot do it my self. Would need to hire a...

Lost some hydraulic fluid from the breather at the top of my reservoir. Went to get more and the guy said what KIND do you want. That question led me on an internet search that yielded more information about hydraulic fluid than I ever wanted to know. There are literally hundreds of kinds...

HI----BEEN AWHILE, Have an almost new 25 HP Kama. Felt fairly confident when bidding on this machine due to the positive posts by most folks, but especially by Rob--3RRL. I know he has a 554 and I really don't want a machine that size. I am generally pleased with the machine even though I...

Can anybody explain the differences between a manual and a shuttle shift trans, and the advantages/diadvantages of both. Thanks.

It looks like the tractor I'm thinking of buying (Yanmar F or FX series-25 to 30 HP) does not have a sub frame kit made for it. That means I will need to settle for a 3 point hook-up. The last time I used a hoe with a 3 point hook-up was many (18?) years ago. It was a terrible...

There seems to be 2 categories of Yanmar Grey Market tractors out there. The older ones are the YM series and the newer ones (up to 1992?) are the F or FX series. Is there any difference in the quality of the construction of these two series or are they both basically the same mechanically...

Have been looking for Ym 3110D 36 HP (Gray Market Re-built). Want to add a backhoe (7 1/2' size). Can I run a hoe with a smaller HP tractor, say 25HP. Someone said it's not the HP that matters but the pump size. There are many more 25 to 30 hp Yanmars available than the bigger 3110-36HP. I...

I will soon be buying a tractor that I want to mount a backhoe on to from time to time. I would like the middle size backhoe (goes to 8' depth). What is the lowest HP rated tractor I should buy to power that hoe. Have been looking at Yanmar 3110-36 HP (gray market-inexpensive) but hard to find...

I have a chance to purchase a Yanmar 3000 (Greymarket rebuilt) or Jinma 284 (New). All opinions about these two machines are eagerly sought. Both are 4WD, Diesel with FEL and other attachments, including small backhoe. Assuming all attachments are the same for both units, which would be best...
