Thank you all for chiming in. Not wanting to make a mountain out of a molehill of a project. I wound up mixing Sakcrete with the leveler for the deep end and just leveler for the last 1" to the feathered edge. The ground down concrete surface got dampened with water then a coating of adhesive...

Yes there is more than just frost here near Edgewood, NM at 7000 feet. We have real winters . The garage never freezes though, it never gets below 55* inside. The high part of the slab is already 6" thick. Just need a level surface for the wall floor plate and get rid of that slope leading down...

Thanks for the reply. There will be a 2x6 wall with an entry door right on top of the feathered edge. Then some thin laminate flooring on top of the leveler going into the basement stairs. I've decided to pour ready mix concrete to fill the deep end, let it set overnight, then pour the leveler...

I need to level a 4.5 feet long x 3 foot wide slope leading to my basement steps from the garage. The deep end of the slope is 4.5" the other end is feathered paper thin. According to the directions, Concrete leveler cannot exceed 2" thick unless "extended" with aggregate. I would rather pour...

9 pages of replies? This must have been bait just to increase everyone's post count. Now me too.

Good advise Gjamtrac - I will check that for sure and keep the unit in neutral on the first start.

Thanks BMaverick ! You are absolutely correct. Not giving up I amazingly and finally got a name and # of a super nice and willing to help Yanmar parts rep . He sent me the complete illustrated parts list for the dash APL and dash APB engines. The main difference is the APB has an engine oil...

Help! I have a 2012 Bobcat UTV 3400XL diesel with a Yanmar 3 cyl Diesel Engine model 3TNM72-APL Made by Polaris for Bobcat. After 2000 hours, the head gasket is blown, over heating, hot exhaust gasses bubbling out radiator. Rather than trying to fix that (engine and must be pulled to remove...

Help! I have a Bobcat UTV 3400XL diesel with a Yanmar 3 cyl Diesel Engine model 3TNM72-APL Made by Polaris for Bobcat. After 2000 hours, the head gasket is blown. Rather than trying to fix that (engine must be pulled) I can get a complete new old stock engine for reasonable price. However the...

Perhaps consider a cantilever gate setup where the gate is completely suspended. The gate will need to be at least twice as long as the opening (for balance) using 4 gate wheels, 2 to suspended gate above ground and 2 wheels as guides on the top of gate. Click Here for the source of cantilever...

Simple, quick, inexpensive, but don't pull an OMG where's the key ! o_O

IMHO The best solution is to use a padlock and key or a combo lock. If using a key attach the key to your tractor key ring or handy area on the ROPS where the sticks and weeds cannot dislodge the key.

George, Need to install a new double action valve between the pump and OEM blade valve. Remove the hose and hard line from the pump output all the way to the input of the blade valve. Install a new double action valve. Get a new hose made to connect from the pump output then into the input of...

Howdy there ddbackhoe, - amazing you saw and remember my redneck powder coating technique! A procedure I should have copyrighted ;) "Fire off the salamander afterwards to help the dry time." You do realize that sucker burns kerosene at the rate of about 2 gallons an hour? Have you checked the...

You wound up a good solution with the Ni Chrome wire off a dryer element. I am interested in how long it takes for the glow of your new indicator to reach peak brightness and stabilize? That glow plug indicator on my D20A-6 burned out too, maybe from leaving the glow plugs on too long? When...

This is the pump off my Jinma 354, hopefully it's similar and somewhat helpful. I would imagine you already have it figured out by now. These pumps seem to need new W rings about every 250 hours. I have rebuilt this one twice.

The clutch is operated in a traditional manner by direct mechanical connection of the pedal linkage to a yolk and throw-out bearing. A wet clutch simply means it is submerged in oil with oil resistant friction disks. This arrangement significantly increases clutch disk life. Inside the clutch...

Hi all you plant experts. Any idea what this plant / flower / weed is? I stumbled across it driving my ATV collecting firewood. It's located on my property in the mountains of central New Mexico about 7000' elevation. Never seen anything like it around here or anywhere else for that matter. It...

Not sure what the correct technical term for this thing is, but I've been wanting one for a while and finally built one. It's purpose is to keep the cutting edge from digging in and tearing things up when using the FEL bucket as a snow plow. I've seen a few here on TBN and was inspired by this...

Latest project I'm making is a Skid Steer adapter plate for the FEL QA I mounted on my old Ford. This is the link to that project Sooner or later I'll get a QA setup just like it for the Jinma FEL so I can use all the gizmo's on either tractor. This adapter plate will have a 10' boom pole...

I was wondering if anyone knew the value of this thing? Dorthy the widowed owner of the metal shop I frequent and plasma cut parts at has a customer who wants to buy it. She has no idea what price to ask. The motor is a 208 three phase. I think it's a drill / tool sharpener on steroids. If it...

In addition to my 2005 Jinma 354 and 1989 Komatsu dozer, I own a 1953 Ford NAA tractor aka a Golden Jubilee. It has a 5 Y/O Bradco backhoe attached and a FEL that is near as old as the tractor. The original FEL lift cylinders were single action, (power lift, gravity lower) about 5 years ago when...

I've been wanting a landscape rake. I checked a few out in person, but none were configured exactly to my liking. So I have decided to build one from scratch. Rob (3RRL) has been very generous and helpful in the design and build of my 360* rotating back-blade project and in designing the jaws...

Today I took the time to install a few gauges I've been wanting. The Volt meter and Clock were scored off eBay, the Filter Minder from NAPA auto parts. Waiting to be installed...........Mark locations............Check layout... I like the layout because I can see every new gauge clearly...

I was wondering if anyone has ever installed or measured intake manifold vacuum on a Diesel tractor engine? I thought it might be interesting to install a vacuum gauge on my tractor. My thinking is maybe it would indicate when the air filter is starting to clog? If I got a vacuum reading with a...

I have a 2002 Bombardier Traxter. The rear axle mounted trailer hitch is cheap sheet metal and is falling apart (metal torn). I have welded it back together one too may times. My trailer is 300#'s and I use it to collect firewood, about 1000#'s total load. SO my question - does anyone know of...

I know, I know - this is the 10 millionth Grapple project :rolleyes: I hope it's a little different / Unique? in some way, so I will try to keep your attention with some entertainment. During Rob's (3RRL) visit here with me in New Mexico. He said I needed to install a grapple on my FEL. So who...

I am looking to purchase a used Dozer for road construction on my property. The road will be diagonally cross cut up into the side of a hill that has Lots of rocks & loose dirt. I have looked as several dozer's over the years, mostly Komatsu's D20's & D30's none of which were in very good...

I hope you find this an interesting story and project, it has many different paths along the way that lead to an incredible friendship and collaborative effort. If it were not for an interesting turn of events, the results of what you are about to see would not have been possible - This will...

I just got back home from a work road trip to Roswell, NM (UFO Capitol of the world) - that's another story all by itself. Anyway there's a long stretch of highway where there is nothing for 97 miles, and I really mean NOTHING except for the few hundred Antelope I saw. I was surronded by them...

Here is a project I have been working on & off this summer. I needed a dump trailer to move dirt, wood, wood chips, rocks etc from one place to another. I have made 3 trailers so far in my lifetime, but have never attempted to make a dump trailer. I have a fairly good "inventory" of scrap metal...

I've got a 1953 Ford NAA Golden Jubilee with a leaking gas tank. I had it "fixed" about 15 years ago and it's starting to leak again underneath where the mounting bracket is welded / spot welded to it. A few questions: 1. Should I have it fixed again? (it was braised by a tank repair shop.)...

We've had a lot of rain for months & months here in NM. One of our twin Daughters - Katie was on her way home from work one day and came around a corner and saw this - :eek: This is the mountainous road that leads up to our neck of the woods. We often ride our Motorcycles up & down it for fun &...

My Wife and I cut firewood for us to keep warm by the fire in the winter. We use the Jinma tractor & our ATV to climb a very steep hill on our property this gives us access to our forest. The woods is way over grown and also has lots of dead down trees as well. I use the Jinma to pull the...

I am in the process of building my very own dump trailer. Of cource this was inspired by all here on TBN who have taken the time to post their dump trailer projects. My question is - at about what angle would you or did you use? and was it sufficient for complete dumping? I am at a point where...

We live on back country dirt roads, one of my twin daughters (the evil twin) drove home one day and a few hours later I was out farting around the yard. I noticed her Rav4 low on one side. I went to investigate and was shocked to see what had happened to the tire. How can this happen? It a stick...

After re-torquing the head bolts & setting the valve clearance. I changed the Oil & Filter. After pulling the oil drain plug I thought this would be a good time to modify it to be a magnetic drain plug.

I need a couple of volunteers with a Jinma354 with a 2 STAGE clutch and a digital camera willing to take the top off their transmission, or remove the four bolt reverse gear inspection plate on the left side of the transmission, take a couple of pictures and e-mail them to me. This is needed...

The following is a project done with our two tractors, 1953 Ford NAA Golden Jubilee with Bradco 3265 BH & 2005 Jinma 354LE with Koyker 160 loader. We live about 25 miles southeast of Albuquerque. It has not rained, or snowed in over FIVE months, and we are in the 7th year of a severe drought...

At 50 I am having a hard time touching my toes. This is what I felt like I was trying to do every time I needed to set the parking brake on my Jinma 354LE. So nothing better to do today I added an extension handle. Attached is a before shot.

This is not a Retread of Jinma Thermostats - this is new and enlightening information that I have not seen – unless I am blind (my wife thinks so) Ok, I have read many if not all the posts here and elsewhere about Jinma thermostats and various attempts to fix it….Some have installed higher...

Pic 1 Overall picture of the gate. There is a very interesting story behind our gate and where the parts came from. So bear with me. I have 14 pictures to post, please be patient with me and wait for me to post them all. Once upon a time: We needed an automatic “Estate” gate to keep our...

Here is my latest basement shop creation. I needed a light duty winch to pull my submersible water well pump next time it goes out. The submersible pump is 150’ down there is a ¼” nylon rope tied to the pump that will be used to attach to the winch. On the tractor hydraulic system I have an...

Does anyone know how many teeth are on the Starter ring mounted to the flywheel of a Jinma 354 LE TY395 engine ? If so please post answer here. I am doing some investigation of the accuracy of the tachometer. I think its reading low (about 200~300 RPM low). I placed an Oscilloscope on the tach...

Jinma 354LE (2005) EPA Filter cross ?\'s Does anyone have Filter cross reference for. 1. Engine Oil filter OEM # JX85100A (New 2005 JiangDong EPA TY395E series 3 engine) And 2. Fuel Filter Chinese# CX70100 I went to autozone and opened up about 15 boxes of Fram type filters (with...

Well I went to install the Koyker 160 FEL onto my brand new 2005 Jinma 354 LE. I started on the left side and installed all the brackets NO PROBLEM it went smooth. So I figured well this is a breeze lets start the right side then OMG WTF, this is not right. Take a look at the three photos I am...

Well after 118 days my new Jinma & Chipper have arrived. Here is a pic of it being unloaded Monday morning @ 7:30 am. I had it delivered to a local business that had a Forklift. They then loaded it onto my flatbed. After a 12 mile trip it was home.

I am building a tooth bar for a Koyker 160 loader. Going on a 35 HP tractor. The bucket is 60" wide. I purchased one lot of 8 teeth on eBay and they sent me 9 teeth !!! Question to all the experts - (or not) Should I use all 9 teeth ?, or 8 ? or 7 ? Attached is a...

Here is a Saturday project I dreamed up for lack of something better to do. The mud here is REALLY bad so can't do much outside on the homestead so I worked in the shop on this project. Please see all the attachments for the complete project.

I am waiting on my Jinma 354 LE. In the mean time I have been gathering up parts for a Hydraulic top link and a Hydraulic vertical Lift arm link. I am all set for the top link. My Questions are related only to specifics of the adjustable Vertical connecting link for the 3 point hitch for the...

Ive got a Bradco 3265 3 pt hitch Backhoe and made a "Thumb" for the bucket so that I can pick up heavy rocks, Logs, and any other stuff that needs to be picked up and moved. The Backhoe has a 12" bucket & I have an 8" bucket for trenching. I used the 8" bucket for the Thumb and mounted it to the...
