Just wondering what my alternator should be putting out for voltage. I get 12.24 volts at 1500 rpm which seems low. My battery always seems to have trouble turning the motor over. The battery is new. Maybe the alternator or regulator are shot? Any troubleshooting guides for this? I did take...

Received my parts order and thought a comparison between what was in my 354 and what I received would be instructive. As you can see from the photo the new one is much finer. The old filter looks like maybe 1/10” spacing. The new one is at least 3x finer. Outer dimension are similar. Maybe...

Does anyone know the size of the fuel supply sealing washers for the Jinma 354? The parts diagram doesn’t list any size. Mine has slight leaks on pipe no. 13 on the diagram.

While waiting for my brake parts to arrive I thought I should replace my front driveshaft boot which was quite rotted. I’ve removed the rear 13mm and front 10mm bolts which hold the driveshaft covers on but that doesn’t seem to give you any access to removing the two covers. So what are the next...

Seems like every time I get off my Jinma 354 I accidentally hit one of the power switches. This can also occur when I use the cover…I also blame my cat for hitting them or maybe it’s the squirrels. Since I just wanted something basic I used a Ford Escape brake pad spring clip and bent it to go...

Ok, second post for the other brake unit. I thought this would go slick as I now knew what to look for. Removed the cover plate expecting the same condition as the other side but no it was a disaster. The inside looked completely filled up with crud. This was oily with maybe dirt and rust bits...

My 2005 354 brakes were always sketchy. You really had to step on them to get any response even after adjustment. Given the hilly nature where I live I decided they needed attention. The first issue was access to the side covers. This required removing the fenders and rops. No issues here just...

Hi all, Along with my various deferred maintenance projects for my Jinma 354 I’ll have to swap out the transmission fluid (while I'm doing a brake job) and I’ll give the hydraulics one more flush as I had to open the three point lift mechanism. Is gear oil 80/90 gl-5 ok to use? I should mention...

Well it’s time for that first engine oil change for my Jinma 354 with the three cylinder engine so I’m looking for any tips for the procedure/oil and parts. I’m thinking starting her up and running to temperature and draining the oil oil as per usual. Replace the oil filter, check drain plug...

Just replaced my LW8 backhoe seals but NOT including the main rod seals which I couldn’t remove and seemed in decent shape anyway. For those replacing the rest being: rod o ring under the rod piston, both gland large o rings, gland wiper and the gland U cup oil seal (most important), See the...

Looking at my valve to hydraulic line face seal Jinma o rings I measure these as 2x8(id) sealing o rinos. I believe a 90 Shore durometer hardness o ring is required for sealing… but maybe not. Not sure on this. So, I’m wondering if I get the 90a or is a 70a o ring ok? I assume Viton or bunta...

Just wondering if there are any diy mechanical thumb plans available for my 354 chinick tractor with a lw8 backhoe? I’ve found some kits on Ann but they are a weld together type so I thought I might as well just fab one up myself if possible, scrap metal being available locally.

Just wondering what type of o ring the hydraulic hoses take for sealing on my LW8? The description is o ring but is that true or are they some type of flat rubberized seal? Any idea of the sizes used on the backhoe and I guess the loader as well. I’m just replacing the lines outer spiral wrap as...

In measuring my Jinma Chinese LW 8 backhoe hydraulic parts in order to find replacement seals I’m wondering where I place the slop of the measurements. For example, gland nut o rings. I get 64.5 mm ID on the part and 70.15mm for the cylinder wall id. So would a 64mm I’d x 4mm t work? Similar...

I’ve been trying to remove the gland nut off my 2005 Jinma 354 backhoe which is a LW8. Haven’t had much success yet so I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I did buy a gland nut wrench but the inserts are for a pin type and I wasn’t able to find a Jinma style one. I did modify...

Sooo, my new to me my 2005 LW8 backhoe has one cylinder which has a leaky seal. The cylinder rod had some spotty rust which upon cleaning up still had finger nail noticable abrasion. On the time sucking vortex it seems the cylinder rod could be brazed and cleaned up, with new seals then...

I can’t seem to get my three point hitch to lower or raise. Right now it’s in the up position and doesn’t want to move. My 354 has the two levers on the right side by the seat, either seems to do anything. When I bought it the owner advised that you have to rev it up a bit to get the three...

So..I bought this older Jinma 354 that has twin headlights and a three cylinder diesel. I’ve looked for a manual for this guy but haven’t had much success but have some newer versions. My questions are: what the knob under the seat does? What the floor right hand side rearward pedal does? This...
