Fired the ole jinma up again after another winters nap. It was around 65 degrees, gave it only 5 sec on the plugs, and caught on the first crank. Hard to believe, I'm still on the chinese battery. Did a bunch of yard and field work, yesterday and today. A little late this year, but off to...

Great Spring weather, here in NY this weekend. I decided it was nice enough to awaken the Jinma from its long winters nap. 10 seconds on glow plugs, and starts on first try. I was a little surprised since the winterization I did, was much less than previous years. Battery was left in...

Ron M sent me some of his mods for Jinma 284. These mods apply to flip-up hood style Jinmas. Thanks Ron. Air Filter Move & Coolant Recovery Mod

Would like to hear any details that anyone has on the new EPA certified engines, especially the the Y385. Would like to hear on the Y395, both 30 and 35hp versions, as well. Thanks.

Owners of Jinma 200 series with ZL20 FELs, please take note of this. This picture was recently sent to me from an owner. Needless to say, with only 100 hrs on tractor, he is very upset over this. While this might be contributed by other things, such as a bad casting, it should at least...

Received your PM, but responding here, so others may see. This info was from my 284, but your 204 is probably the same. Transmission has four drain plugs, two at the bottom and to the side of the swinging drawbar. Another is on the transfer case just below the transmission, and the last is...

Anyone build an attachment for the FEL just for picking-up brush? Lots of pallet forks are used for this, but I don't intend on lifting any palllets, so a less heavy duty solution could be used. It seems like angle iron should suffice, and have some ideas in my head. Would like any feedback...

Rumored at CTOA. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Maybe JerryG? The dealer listing is not accessable on their website anymore.

Rudin\'s Old Time Farm Days A local farmer has been putting on this event for the last few years. While I drive by his place, every day for work, I am always out of town on Labor Day weekend, when the event is held. And the same will be true for this upcomming event. The farm is located...

Some of the best links to info on the web, I have received through TBN member postings. Does anyone have any good links to general diesel engine theory, operations, and trouble-shooting? How about a book that you would highly recommend? I will be checking to see if the local BOCES runs a...

I posted this as part of another post in the "Build-it-Yourself" forum, but it is probably more relevent here: Will be getting a KK 5' rotary cutter soon. There is no question that I will have chain gaurds. The area I plan to mow is notorius for shale rocks that push up every freeze-thaw...

My dad has a small syrup operation on his place in the Central NY area. He runs it every couple of years to provide friends and family with free maple syrup. He is shutting down his operation for this year, for a odor issue. He indicates that some of the maple trees you can smell a distinct...

I had a guy stop bye the place last night to get me to sign a gas lease. Apparently there was some siesmic study that was done a number of years back, that indicates a high likelyhood of natural gas. These wells will be about a mile deep! He threw out numbers like $100 an acre per month per...

Since the local CT's are Farm & Home liquidating and they are already out of 5' rotary cutters and 5' box blade, and there is some hope that TSC might take over the store(s), wonder what they carry. I liked the KingKutter that the Farm & Home carried. I looked at their website but didn't see...

I am looking for an implement that does all three. Either, commercial or DIY. - Hitch must be able to mount a ball, plus have a hole for clevis/pin. - Place to add/subtract additional FEL counter weight. - Place to mount large PVC tool container, that could hold chainsaw, fuel, and other...

Just saw one of those text blubs on CNN Headline News, about some rare tick disease in New England, reported by the CDC. Geeees, West Nile disease, rabies, lyme disease, and now this! And the sharks are getting all the press! I guess I will have to move to city, where its safe. Not a...

Being a FEL newbie, and after practicing for about a hour on some gravel, I find it hard to determine the orientation of the bucket from the tractor seat. I remember reading about some indicators, but my searches have not found them. I would appreciate any links, pics, or other info on this...

On last Thursday, a raccoon came into our yard, and into our dogs runwire area. Our husky did what is natural for her, and attacked the coon, and killed it. The coon was carefully put in a sealed bag, and sent to Albany for testing. The results came back positive. While we were waiting...

Spent a few hours yesterday, with the family trapesing through a creek on our property. It is mostly gravel and hard bottom with holes that reach 2-4 foot deep. It was a very nice way to cool down on a warm day. We expeirenced numerous wildlife, including ducks, geese, turtles, fish, and a...

Hello everyone, I have been lurking here for some time. I have been reading and appreciating all of the posts here. This is a very active community. Having recently registered, I would like to give a little background on myself. I grew-up on a central NY "hobby farm". My dad raised a...
