This fix is cheaper, quicker to get parts and better quality than new LS part. Just takes a little extra time. Joystick on backhoe and FEL are not very robust. I have gone through 2 ball end links on FEL (broken housing) within 50 hours and two on backhoe (wallered out housing) in about ~50...

Yeah, the neither the tractor or engines were made in Canada. The seller doesn't really seem to know what he has sitting there. And I agree the price is high. Probably worth $1000-$1500 to someone who needs it. Everything is negotiable.

Ran across this add selling ZN390 diesel engine. This engine may be of use to chinese tractor owners. Was probably found in multiple Tytan models which were rebranded tractors, I don't really know just posting in case someone on here is looking. This is not my add, just posting as FYI...

Rob, I thought it was something from the factory, but maybe that's right. Could be clay contamination + water and oil as you said. Regardless, it's all gone. Inside is reasonably clean. I didn't go crazy, just hand cleaned to get rid of 95% of the gunk on inside of the case. All the parts...

Backlash .3mm Cleaned and reassembled. Assembly is not trivial. Took me 4 (maybe 5) tries to get the right technique and order of assembly for the main and secondary shaft. Brakes are next.

Gears clean and ready for assembly. There were two spacers (one thin one thick) where the part diagram said there was one, but that wasn't the issue. Issues was the rear bearing wouldn't budge in housing. This prevented the main shaft with pinion from adjusting with shims. Brakes and axles...

Took 2-3 hours to take pinion shaft out. EVERTHING has to come out including PTO gear to get at pinion. Now I'll clean everything real good and start re-assembly. I think there are two spacers where it shows 1 in the part manual. Not sure if this was on purpose or not, have to investigate...

Items X'd out don't exist. Nut 4, bearing 7 and housing 8 along with shims sets the pinion depth. Housing 8 sits on outside front of rear casting. So more shims moves pinion forward away from ring gear. BUT, you can remove 4,7 and 8 and the pinion shaft will not move much further forward. Hope...

Highlited driven side pattern in red

13 is an oring. 9, 10 and 11 are the shims. I think 31 is what's limiting further movement.

mercury, I have had luck with Aliexpress recently. Find a seller that has parts for that engine. Send them message via Aliexpress messaging requesting the part you need. They can probably locate the part. The seller I bought from made a custom package of several parts to buy for a set price...

Pinion is already shimmed away .080" from factory. DRIVEN SIDE: engagement is at the very inside tip of ring gear COAST SIDE I can't shim any further. It seems something on the shaft is limiting the movement. So I'm kinda stuck. There's very little wear on ring and pinion, but the hours...

What have I done. Decided it would be prudent to check the rear diff as I am only 8 bolts (hydraulic tank) away, and you have to have the axles off to adjust. So pull the top tank off. Everything is in order. That's the good. Problem is the diff needs adjusted. When I try to adjust, I run...

Narrow 20 and 24" R-1 tires or short enough but load rating is too low for a 8-9k lb tractor. Would need duals.

I was looking at something like this: But I've been going round in circles, trying to find tires and wheels that lower the CG. Original tires is 12.4-28 R1 which has mounted diameter of 49.6". I want to lower the CG several inches. Can't do it with 28" What about 24"? Well...most 24" have a...

I think I am going to go with 17.5LX24 R1 on 15X24 wheels. I have lots of hills, and this is the widest and smallest that will reasonbly fit. Old tires were 12.4-28

I didn't order direct for OEM, they are sourced through a middleman on Aliexpress.com Haven't received them yet, but prices on parts are low. Cost of shipping is high if you want air freight. 4 bevel gears for front hubs and 4 brake disks were $180 total, shipping is $135.

Rustoleom Professional lacquer and primer rattlecans. Prepping is key, paint went on real nice and looks good.

Brakes fully disassembled. 4X brake disks on order from China. Need new thrust washer for front diff side gear. Should be able to find something close enough locally or online. Rear axles removed. Everything is good. Built super heavy, one axle and housing probably weighs close to 200 lbs...

Well driller showed up unannounced so had to take care of that mess. Got lots of water now. Almost ready for paint. Any recommendations on type of brand of rattle can paint for the engine/frame? Still waiting to hear back on brake disks. I'll order them direct from China if needed. I also...

Yes. Wet.

Thanks for looking Carl. The place I normally get parts is not responding. Probably taking some holiday time off. I also emailed Artrac. Asked if they still carry Kama parts. They haven't responded yet. I emailed a relining place to see if that's an option.

8.8- 8.825" OD 26 spline .875" friction width

I think it needs some new brakes! I knew this going in, as this is one of the main reasons to tear down. Brakes were always poor. Previous owner wore them out I guess. I can order them, but wondering if they are same as other tractor. Any idea?

Bob, Checked the manual and it does call out a spec. Says .15-.3mm backlash when new. Slightly more used. I'll have to measure. It's not just the pinion and ring gear, all the bevel gears have tons of backlash but show no wear so maybe it's normal. If the ring and pinion are readily...

Stripped down R&R front diff and hubs etc, Front diff is good except a thrust washer that is worn and split. Diff is super sloppy but I guess this is normal for tractors. Gear wear is minimal except the pinion has some wear. I had worked on a couple truck and car diffs but never a tractor, so...

Yes, it was leaking. I have the next couple days off so I will tear into it tomorrow. Shawn

Neked Working now. Stripped all the way down and ready for bath. I jacked the front up to swap tires around and found right front hub has about a 1/2 inch play. Can't be good.

Racoon dog test.

Every time I try to add picture it fails. Are there limitations for new users or ??? Says "Error during file upload" Tried a bunch of times over two days.

Try again

Progress I took more off and will roll it outside for another wash. I think the red that is coming through is actually primer. So I think I will clean up as best I can and spray the frame black again. Think I will keep is blue and paint the FEL blue and paint wheels white. No calcium in the...

Progress

Where do they get relocated to?

Carl, Yeah, sounds like yours was pretty rough. I'm surprised how easy everything is coming apart. Being chinese made, you'd expect minimal rust protection, But there is only surface rust and all bolts are still good, minimal rust. No stripped or broken bolts yet. The FEL is Canadian made...

Thanks Rob, I'll look into that.

Here it is stripped of cosmetic and safety parts. Not sure what to do next. It's still in running driving order. Is there anything that would be better to do now before removing wheels and hydraulics?

I'll have to go measure it. Guessing it's about 8 inches in diameter. It does look very similar to the picture you posted. Was that filter for tractors or cars or both? What vintage about?

Thanks Carl, Yeah, I'll have to make something. Or I may take it up to the Tytan tractor place near me and see if they happen to have one. I am lucky in that regard. When I needed a clutch assembly I was able to drive about 30 minutes and pick up a new one same day. They are in Chehalis I...

She look better after a bath. I think she wants to be red again.

This is what it looks like. No place for an o-ring. Yes, maybe a large flat ring shaped gasket. Guess I would have to make it

I have a major leak from top of power steering reservoir. The cover is just metal on metal. Seems like there should be a seal around the top. Does anyone know what is supposed to be there to seal?

The ol' girl is getting a little tired. Starting a light restoration to fix some issues and spruce up. Also improve stability on hill and hopefully do some improvements. This is a KM554 rebadged as Tytan 594 This is what she looks like now. Heavy built and tough. Removed FEL and frame...

I have a Tytan 594 (Kama KM554) that I bought about 4 years ago. Wondering if others still out there, or have they all been parked because they are broken? Had two major problems with mine: Shuttle shaft gear slipped on shaft. Chewed up the teeth. Clutch finger broke. I was able to fix both...
