Thanks piper 184. Excuse my ignorance re these bolts. Do I take it that 34 refers to the length. My bolt looks like the thread is 1.25. So I think it is a M10 x 1.25. Does a standard M10 bolt have the same thread size.

Hello everyone. I have a 284 Jinma with Y385 engine. Can anyone tell me the bolt thread size of the bolts that hold the starter motor on to the flywheel housing. Thanks Johnny P

Hello everyone, I live in rural France and getting spares for my tractor is a difficult task, even with the use of the Google Garage. I have however, just got a replacement oil filter for the above. It is a Mann 719/13, perfect fit. Just one question is there any internal construction of the...

Hello Tony. I had a problem with my starter. I dismantled it and had to do some re soldering of wires that had come dodgy. One one occasion I cleaned the point where the battery earth strap was connected to the chassis and gave it a good clean and that did the job then.

Hello , I am about to change the complete clutch and release bearing on my Iseki. Can anybody tell me the torque settings for the bell house bolts and clutch bolts? Thanks Johnny P

Hello all, received my new pump and now fitted. Thanks for your help.

Hello aesmith. Received my new pump and the extra outlet was already sealed off with a threaded bolt.

Hello bevanski, I was a little apprehensive ordering one from Aliexpress mainly because the price was so low. I bit the bullet an ordered one and it was spot on. Even the extra outlet was blanked off. It was a straight swap. Cost me about £53 in total. Good luck with yours. Johnny P

Hello piper184. Thanks for the info. My original pump has a threaded bung/screw in to block off the outlet. Couldn't see on the photograph of the new one if it is the same. Hopefully it will be a case of just swapping the threaded bund/screw when it arrives.

Hello. New pump ordered. Could you let me know how you blanked off the extra outlet please? Thanks John

Thanks Bob. I only called them ceramic/graphite seals as that what the parts list called them. John

Thanks for that.

Hello all, I got the pulley off. This gave me the view of the outer seal. I poured some water in to the pump. Holding it so the shaft faced the floor I noticed water leaking out of the "weep hole". I believe this means that the internal seal (ceramic graphite) must have failed. I managed to...

Hello aesmith. Thanks for this info. I was looking at Ali Express but was suspicious of the price. Didn't know if they took your money and you never saw the product, you hear of these kind of situations. Nice to hear from some one who has dealt with them. John

Thanks for the reply piper184. There does not appear to be a nut on the end of mine (see photo). The round part on the end of the pulley appears to be part of the casting. I tried some mole grips on it but it would not move hence my previous thought. I also tried using some pulley pullers...

Hello all, Hope you are all keeping safe from the virus. My water pump on my tractor developed quite a substantial leak. I have removed it from the tractor and made a couple of new gaskets, inner and outer ones. I tested these and on closer inspection it looks like the leak could be coming...

Hello Harvey. Just reading this post. Did you have any success with refurbishing your water pump? Looks like I may have the same problem. Is the pump easy to take apart? How do you get the pulley off? Thanks John

End of last year I decided to get the welder out and have a go. After practicing on scraps of metal and consulting many items I decided to have a go. See the result below. I was quite chuffed with the outcome and although I have not done a lot of work with the backhoe, it does appear to have...

Hello, Should read Y385!!! Whilst using the tractor (Shire badged Jinma 28hp) a couple of days ago the engine developed a loud knocking noise. On investigation I found that if you got hold of the end of the crankshaft you can moved it backwards and forwards about 5-10mm. Any ideas what has...

Hello, Is it possible to strip, refurb and rebuild a hydraulic cylinder on JW03 backhoe? Is it something you can do yourself or does it have to be done by a specialist? Any pointers please. Thanks Johnny P

Hello, Is it possible to check the pressure on the hydraulic system of a JW03 backhoe by disconnecting a hose that goes to one of the cylinders and screwing a pressure gauge on to that hose? I have the connections to do this if it is possible and is there a particular procedure to follow? Ta...

Hello, Can anyone tell me the correct way to have the internal seals facing when rebuilding the pump. I realise that they face the two outer plates/covers but do the "point" in the same direction or doesn't it matter. Thanks Johnny P

Can anyone please explain what this is and does? It is located on rightside (from front) rear of engine near dipstick.

Hello there, I have read with interest numerous problems and problem solving about the JW03 backhoes. I have one of these. Whilst using the backhoe after very little use the whole hydraulics died. Not even the stabalisers would respond. Listed here are actions I have taken to rectify the...
