I'm in the Bancroft area. Up here if in decent shape and running good. Those are getting anywhere from $10,000- $12,000 CAN maybe more. The after market has gone crazy. If you want to get rid of it soon, $8-10.

Use L3 L4. Not quite like H1. But not too bad for speed if you're looking for that.

White smoke=generally unburnt fuel. I'm thinking a bad 1 or more injectors. If they are dribbling. This would also give the hard starting symptoms. Easy and cheap to do. Dave

Just to add, my DF (Dong Feng) has a common sump for gear and hydraulics. I've used TDH since new (2008). Works perfect. Hydraulics a little slow until warmed up in winter at -20C. But not bad all.

A little late to the thread. I did this for my DF354. 14 years later still works perfect. My intentions was also for a grapple. Never hooked one up but for my snowplow angling. Perfect https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/index.php?posts/1770751

Yes should be. It's an open centre system. The engine continuously drives the pump . It circulates getting suction from the sump and pumps through the entire system. When you activate a valve, 3pt, fel or other your forcing fluid to activate it. At high pressure up to 2000 psi. depending on your...

#1, check level. If low you will be sucking air and getting that effect. I'm sure you lost a bit after doing your cylinders

Ok I have the identical problem. Every so often I will have to start it at the starter with a screwdriver. Works np. So you're saying the key switch could be bad not getting enough power to the solenoid intermittently. I always thought the solenoid. It's very random. Could be cold, hot, using it...

Interesting. You are correct about the pins. My plow is a very heavy all steel 8'. Occasionally I do tip it down. Did that work awhile back. So far with all the stresses no breaks. I have caught the edge of the many times but so far all good.I added a cushion valve to my front setup. It has...

Not the greatest pics. Bad resolution , but you get the idea. I can get some better ones off my PC if you want.

Like I, works quite well. I can pick up and drop attachments just by removing the lynch pins

Those brackets are what's on my bucket. Might try to get some of those for other attachments. Here's my front of my loader without the bucket. The rod across grabs top hooks, the pins go into the brackets . When I fabricated my attachment I welded a piece of square tube with one side cut out...

My Dongfeng DF354 has a similar standard Quick attach setup but with only 1 lynch pin on each side not 2 . It's a copy from earlier (not too early though) John deere standard quick attach. I have fabricated a match for some of my accessories including my modified snow plow. Did similar for dome...

Oops sorry wrong thread

https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/index.php?threads/446274/ Here's a thread someone just did one

Very unfortunate, sorry about that. An upgrade some have done on jinma of that size, sure Foton s are the same is add reinforcing rods attached to the rear axle from the loader mounts to take the stress off that connection where the two halves are attached. My larger DF354 has them. There are a...

Should have a label on it 540/1000 or 720 depending . Middle being neutral or disengaged. Some may have a separate lever for disengaging .

My DF already had the fel braced to the back axle. As for attaching a plow to the loader . I've done that for years. Here's a link to the mod I did.....wow 14 years ago. Still works just like the day I made it. Just moved 35 cm snowfall. This is an old school all steel heavy blade. The most...

Nice job! Small wins are still wins. Use the dielectric grease on everything you know is working, hopefully no issues again in those parts.

I've ordered parts through Ali express from a supplier that sells through them . One large order around $500 . No issues , got what I expected. Similar international shipping and tracking like Amazon. Actually very quick and no surprise s. The only thing is to verify and double check exactly...

To add , as a hobby tractor using 50-100 hrs a year where my lively hood did not depend on it, it is a very viable option and for someone who can't afford or don't care about the name. And just can't justify spending $30000-40000 for a tractor with loader. I will honestly say if I needed it for...

Ok disregard some of the garbage that just came through . I'm also NE of Toronto. South of bancroft. I've had my DF , Dongfeng for over 12 yrs . 4WD, 40 hp,, fel, chipper, log splitter. Have about 600 hrs. A simple 4 speed H and 4 Low manual transmission. No shuttle or synchro . Nothing but good...

One thing nice about the DF's is the all steel frame for the wheel and leather wrapped. You may be able to get one from Chip at Agtrac. Very comfy and a nice size. Dave POWER UP WITH ArTRAC TRACTORS

I am sure this question has come up a few times but could'nt see any recent thread. I am switching to Nat. gas for my home from oil and have about 600 l. of freash #2 home heating fuel worth about $600 these days. Doing some interent research and other forums, the concensus was that they are...

Found an older but heavy duty 12" bit 3pt PHD earlier this year to do some immediate holes and for the future. When I got it, the gear box seemed very tight and other than a slight bend in the arm seemed good. Went to check/fill the gear box with gear oil and the shaft seal for the auger was...

HI All, Just did all my winter prep including all filters changes. First time using other than the OEM filters. From Rays Hillmans site (DEVONN TRACTORS) I used what he uses on the same Chang Chai engine. Baldwin filters I could get locally although it took a little while to get the oil...

For all the 3ph post hole auger experts, I need a little direction/assurance. Just picked up and older auger with a 12" bit I was doing a few test holes in cottage country type earth (a few small rocks and small tree roots). I know it is a good thing to break shear bolts rather than your tractor...

Saw this when I was loking for other stuff. Just thought i would throw this out there for anyone looking for what appears to be not a bad deal in the Southern Ontario Area. Could probably get a better $ on it I assume. 20HP DIESEL 4WD TRACTOR WITH LOADER - Hamilton Farming Equipment For Sale -...

I know filter X referenceing is all but exhausted and I have done my own as well although have not actually used Baldwin or NAPA ones yet. I also realize that the OEM filters are often totally relabeled wrong. I still have a few originals. After doing my recent fluid changes I did notice my oil...

Hi All With the thread on uses for a boom pole, thought I would add this in a new thread. Always looking for attachments for the DF. I came across this that I couldn't resist. I was looking for something similar to make or buy. The guy who was selling it is a semi retired metal fabricator. He...

I just picked this up. Almost a one of a kind 3 pt boom/crane. The guy I got it from made and sold about 10 of them about 12 years ago. He didn't bother getting a patent. It goes on the 3 pt but I going to adapt it for my loader frame as well. It has hydraulic control to extend it from about 5'...

Hi All, For all the hydraulic experts, I am still a bit of a novice so I welcome any comments on the setup that don't seem right or could lead to problems. At this point everything works as it should and I am happy with the setup. For the plow mod, I wanted angle control, but this was just an...

Hi All, In preparing for a cottage addition (which is now closed in and almost finished on the outside), I had to remove a section deck and move it to another part of the cottage. I did not want to totally dissemble it, so of course the green machine tractor was the perfect tool for the job...

HI All Finally have some time to post a few mods. Adding mirrors are very handy. I had a few leftover dirt bike mirrors that I added to the new metal canopy reinforcing frame. I tapped and just threaded them in. They work great and aren't too big although I have already hit my head a few times...

Since getting the tractor and many toys for it, I realized I needed more outdoor storage. The plan was to expand what I already had where my boat is stored for the winter. From clearing some land and getting some from my in-laws, I had a enough tall straight cedar logs to do the main framing...

Hi All, Had some minor fiberglass damage after the Big Flip due to me hitting it with my back which is now 110%. It did though weaken the rigidity of the canopy as these canopies rely on the design to stiffen it. As I was doing work with the tractor, it definitely had the potential to totally...

Everyone who was following the Big Flip (not the home reno show) knows I am very happy to start this thread. Hopefully it will assist any who have to go through this process and should be interesting for everyone. The Big Flip http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/safety/145119-big-flip.html It...

I posted this on another forum but thought it was worth it for all to see, the danger of load shifting with an FEL, and general safety. Hope it will make others think ahead as I failed to do. This the REALLY BAD Was moving a heavy rock, loader a little high, angle a little steep, too...

Was at the cottage this weekend to try the plow mod which will have to wait a bit. It was about -17 C. and was probably about -20 C. overnight. The DF wouldn't start but would turn over a little with a boost. (no external block, rad hose, pan heater yet.) used the pre warm manifold heater on...

This is a mod for my quick attach loader that is finished but yet to be tried. This weekend I'm taking it up to the cottage where there is about 2 feet of snow. I hope all my measurments are right as I have not tried the new loader bracket on the actual loader. It has now been painted but I...

Hi, All I have a decision that I have been waiting to make for quite awhile but need a little input from all the experienced owners out there. I have a good deal on either of two new 2007 Dongfeng tractors. The two are either the DF254G2 - 25HP, full syncro SS, with Townsunny FEL and/or...

Hi All, First off, I have been viewing for quite awhile on various forums and disscussions. TBN is definitely the best out there with the wealth of knowledge that everyone has. I've been looking for awhile and haven't pulled the trigger yet. Just doing my research. I have been strongly...

I am new to the forum but have been following for a little while. I thinking of getting a crate TS354C which has the Y485 engine (4 cyl). I could also get the JM354 with the above engine or with the 3 cyl engine. Prices are not a huge difference. I have been following the threads and getting...
