jinma 224

Hello all, I am reaching out through the forum seeking help. So here goes; I own a 2002 JINMA 224 no FEL though it does have the hydraulic line QC for one. I bought it new, may have had 2 hours showing on it. Over the years I had a few mechanical issues. Fuel line – minor problem, 3 yrs ago...

My tractor has always had the steering go mushy unless the hydraulic fluid was completely full, and last night it went out completely. I think i may have two issues. The first is the above, no steering control at all. The second is the wheel itself spins freely, and can actually be lifted...

Good Morning. Needing to replace the radiator in my Jinma 224. Anyone no of something that can be swapped in besides the Jinma replacement? Thank You and be safe

I'm buying a 224 with a Koyker 150 loader.. Its a 99 Model with less than 200 hours on it.. HOWEVER, the Engine oil was neglected, shows none on the dipstick, and is seized.. There isn't any oil in either of the front drives either...thought the bearings are rough, the gears look fine.. Has...

Its actually always been snapped off since i got the machine, and im finally tired of getting stuck due to no differential lock available. I got a new lever from Tommy a while back, and i was actually able to back out the old snapped off lever very easily, surprised me. However... for the...

I own a Jinma 284 that has truly been an economical work horse for me. I am looking at a Rhino on Craigslist with a 2 cylinder engine that I am certain is a Jinma. I contacted the owner to ask the model number and he replied that it was a 224. I replied back that the 224 should have a 3...

Hi Guys, Have an '03 Jinma 224. It was idling okay and then just stalled as if the fuel was turned off. Seems to have fuel to the banjo bolts at the injectors. Thoughts? While trying to start it again it is now turning very slowly. Charged battery over night and jumped with my Silverado, still...

I have a Jinma 224, model year 2005, its got shuttle shift and its 4WD. I cant get into 4WD, the lever moves but I cant feel it going into 4WD. Is there a roll pin there like there is on the shuttle shift linkage? Cause it feels exactly the same as if roll pin is sheared. If so what plate...

Popped off my loader on the jinma 224 the other day (that was an ordeal... those kickstands dont work for crap) to finally adjust the clutch that had been slipping under load. Found not only a poorly adjusted clutch... but two quarts of oil sitting in the bottom of the bell housing, nicely...

was moving some mulch yesterday, and noticed my temp was getting into the red, immediately shut down when it was about 110 (not sure if that gauge is C or F, i presume C), and checked my fluids. I had almost nothing in my radiator. Refilled it, and am getting a steady drip out of it...

The problem is: Tractor starts with authority. MPA gage goes pegged to red. Battery light is on. Run the tractor for 10-20 minutes, then MPA gage backs off a bit, but still high. Battery light goes out. Re-lights when below like 1000 RPM. (around idle) Also, the time clock keeps much...

Good morning all, I made another thread a minute ago about the Jinma 224 I just bought. The price was right, but this thing was not maintained well in any way, and has a LOT of hours. Im guessing over 1000. I want to do an immediate once over all all the maintenence that has probably been...

So, my very first real tractor has fallen into my hands. An Iron Horse 224 with a FEL. It has significant issues, but does run well and the price sure was right. I got the whole package for $3300, including 1) Iron Horse 224 Tractor w/ Front End Loader 2) 3 point 5 foot bush hog 3) 3...

Hi Can I change the tire size on my 4x4 , jimma 224.The reason I am asking is I ordered a tire for the front. The original tire height was 24 inches when mounted but the one I ordered is 22 1/2 inches high.I am debating ordering another tire and wondering how much the 1 1/2 inch would affect...

Lost the steering on my tractor but only on the right side turn .It steers great to the left. If it was a bypassing cylinder would I not have lost the steering on both sides. I have the steering cylinder on the side and no pump or reservoir in the front meaning the steering pump takes its fluid...

I purchased a 1997 Jinma Tractor about a month ago.It has a TY 295X engine.I am looking for an oil filter for this tractor and having a difficult time.When I bought it it had a motomaster filter which is sold through canadian tire,Yes I am from canada.I dont mind ordering from the US but want to...

I have read many posts here about electrical issues. Most are ground related. I suspect mine is the same. I suspected a bad key switch at first. I have ruled that out. My trouble is #5 (amp meter)at the key switch. When I move the key to any other position besides off I loose power to wire #5. I...

I have a Jinma 224 with about 600 hrs on it. I was mowing last Sunday for around two hours. I stopped to eat lunch, then tried to start the tractor. The 30 amp main fuse was blown. I was out in a field so I started it with a screw driver at the starter solenoid. I finished mowing that field...

Hello there I'm have startingproblems to! I have a Jinma 224 and when I use the preheating the 30Amp fuse is blown after a few seconds. Can this mean a defective glow-plug? Anyone who got an idea? How can I check the glow-plugs? Thanks for any solutions! Thanks from Belgium! Jack

I had a problem with grinding when engauging the pto. I got the clutch adjustment procedure from other post here. I tightened the pto adjstment bolts #6 about 1/4turn that fixed the problem . I was mowing some tall grass on sat. I noticed the pto slipping so I loosened # 6 1/8 turn. The pto...

How difficult of a job is this to do? Any specialty tools required? Any "how to" pics or videos around? Thanks.

Any special procedures that must be followed? Gasket has deteriorated, I guess, it is leaking. I gave it another quarter turn to tighten but it still leaks a little.

My lower radiator hose sprung a leak, I ordered a new one. Is there a radiator drain? I saw a little valve at the bottom of the radiator with a pitcock on it; Also, above the oil dipstick is another thing that looks like a dipstick, if you turn it, water comes out....what is this for? I...

Does anyone know the american fluids and filters I should be using on this tractor. Bought it used and want to get them all changed. thanks

tractor has nt been delivered yet but looking to buy a mower and I cant find the spline size of the rear pto

buying a used 2003 jinma tractor with a koyker 160 loader

No gages. Same thing happened last year, so, to find bad ground, I plugged and unplugged all the harness conectors, cleaned with CRC. (after removing insturment cluster panel). That fixed it. Now the problem is back. No gages. Indicator light in dash works (for lights), but no gages. So I...

I am asking cause I really don't know.....Stock 224, I have a flat rear tire. (original ag from factory)...its got a nail in it. Looks like a 12p sinker. Vertically stuck in it. Is this tire tubeless??? Can I ream it and plug it? It is not a sidewall puncture, its between the welts of the...

The symptoms were there for quite a while. Gages come to life and then die, then they come back.. feels like a loose connection somewhere,,,.but for the most part they worked. Now they are not coming back. Amp meter works, and the dash lights up, but all other gages, fuel, tach, temp, oil do...

OK. Its full but only reads 3/4. So empty is not empty. Now the wierd part. It goes to full as I use the hand throttle to throttle up. Single cluster setup. Not really important, but I still would like to know if anything simple. How can throttle up make the gage go from 3/4 to full...

i have a a jinma 224 3 point is not working i put a new diverter valve new hydro pump new steering valve and still no preasure to the 3ph valve what could it possiably be

The control lever on my 3 point control is extremely stiff and hard to move. I see nothing externally to lube that might make it easier. Any ideas?

I have the Jinma 224 and want to replace the original fuse panel to something domestic. What have you guys used ? Thank You

Hi guys, New to the forum. I have a Jinma 224 with seperate gauges. Tachomoeter face broke off. Anyone find a domestic equivalent? Thanks,

The clock reads 440 hours on my Jinma now, bought new in 2005. With the help of a lot of folks here, I have been able to do all repairs myself. My clutch is "grabby", and needs adjustment. I am really apprehensive about doing that myself; never had two stages on a car....can anybody link me...

My front (ag) tires are shot. But the wear clearly shows that they are shot on the outside edge, whereas the inside edges are only HALF as worn. They both look tilted out at the top of the wheel. (as seen from the front of the tractor) I am certain nothing on the front end is bent, I have...

I am not a pro, but would like your opinion on doing the following. Even my terminology may be way off but here goes. I noticed today on my front axle--I will call it "a nuckle", I noticed there is a felt type of packing about two inches in diamater--I noticed hunks of this material are gone so...

I have changed the o rings on the main hydraulic piston on my tractor before. The problem was I lifted an implement to high. This time I did not lift anything to high or lift too heavy of a load. Has anyone replaced the seals ( o rings ) without removing the "power lift case box" ? Can you...

Has anyone retrofitted a better/more volume pump onto this little tractor? I want to add a 3pt log splitter and a FEL later on.

has anyone done this? I'm really tired of fighting the steering wheel especially in 4wd. Have been thinking of using a Ford Ranger steering box and PS pump to keep things simple - and cheap.... The box looks to be almost the same size as the OEM Jinma box and the arm is almost the same length...

I have a Jinma 224 that only has 8 hours on it. I keep blowing the main fues every time I try to start the **** thing! As you can tell, I am a little frustrated. I have looked at everything I can see and don't see any wires touching anywhere, but everytime a put a new fuse in, I can turn the...

Hi, I have a Jinma 224 4x4 with ag tires. The rear tires say 250 KPa cold max and the front say 450 Kpa cold max. If I am calculating correctly, this would be approx 36 PSi in rear and 65 PSi in front. Can someone confirm this?

I am having a problem with the PTO not fully disengaging. When I move the PTO lever to Neutral, the PTO shaft continues to turn, but not a full speed. I can stop it by putting something against it, but when I let go, it starts to turn again. Any help is appreciated.

I have a Jinma 224 with 90 hrs and have experienced the following: First off I like the tractor over all with the exception of the following quirks 1. Leaking hoses and valve on the ZL20 loader and boy are those metric fittings expensive once you can find them. It is almost chepaer to find a...

The 3 point lift is leaking down . When you lift all the way up it will hold(tractor running). When you lower the 3 pt. it will leak down and put a strain on the motor(tractor running. When you turn the tractor off it will leak down . The hyd. fluid level is good. Any advice would be greatly...

Was using the tractor yesterday. The gages (instrument cluster) went dead. So I shut the tractor down for an hour. Started it up, then the gages worked perfectly. When I hit the headlight switch they went out again. So tomorrow I will pull the fuses (which were replaced with american fuses...

OK. I cannot get into forward or reverse. Shuttle shift is "free-wheeling". I traced the mechanics of it from the shifter in my hand, all is well until you get to the actual forward/reverse lever on the right side of the trans.(under floorboard) That lever is completely free-wheeling...

Although my radiator is full and clean, and the fins have been blown out from the inside, AND theres a blue mesh type AC filter I installed in front of the radiator, the tractor gets hot, though very slowly. Battery location in front of the radiator is stupid IMO, but I am no engineer. I...

I have a Jinma 224 tractor with only about 6 hours on it. I noticed hydrolic fluid leaking around the right rear lift arm. I just figured that it must have been a bad seal. I obtained a new seal, pulled the lift arm, bushing, and old seal out. Installed the new seal, reinstalled the bushing...

This is a seperate question so I posted seperately. I have been having a real hard time getting into reverse; the dealer said this was natural for newer jinmas and the problem would go away. Most of the time I couldnt get into reverse unless I lowered the RPMs waaay down. So I started looking...

05 jinma 224, shuttle shift. Koyker 160 loader. Both the 3 point hitch and the FEL not operating (lifting) smoothly-very jerky. Last time this happened, at 60 hours, I changed the fluid and the spin on hydraulic strainer; the problem went away. Now I have 100 hours on it, the problem is back...

Ihave a jinma 224 that wont start when turn key switch on just make a click noise, charge battery lights, horn works ok, so I beleive battery is ok. Press clutch in switch goes in makes same click noise if clutch is press or not. I am thinking switch or starter is bad if someone have had this...

Hello, I own a Jinma 224. My PTO does not want to engage. I used to leave the PTO engaged and leave the PTO speed select in neutral or 540 if I wanted it engage or disengage it. I recently played with the engagement lever for the PTO and the arm felt stiff and like it wasn’t actually moving...

I have a 2 cylinder 224 that is a real 22 hp and was wondering what size brush hog it will handle. I was thinking 5 foot because it will be cutting mostly tall grass not 2 inch wood debris. I have a few fields I will use it on and its not really brushy. Those are hardwood Cherry seedlings in...

I have the in-line "spin-on" hydraulic filter. Anybody know the number to get at the auto store? Also, whats the number for the oil filter? No identifying marks on the original equipment. Thanks.

Hey guys I still have a problem with my factor loader on my 224 Jinma.The trouble is once it heats up my loader won't work un less I turn the wheel side to side or lift up the lever on the 3pt.Using aw 32 level good and the loader works great at any rpm until hot.I'm sorry I don't know much...

Robby, thanks for the reply on the NorTrac tractors. The closest dealer is 150 miles away. he is asking 9400 for the 224 w/FEL. What type of work do you do with yours and are you satisfied with the performance? Thanks, Tony any experience with a rear scoop?

Robby, thanks for the reply on NorTrac tractors. the closest dealer for Jinma is about 150 miles. (Fresno, CA) . his listed price w/FEL is 9400 plus tax. Hate buying a tractor from Northern Tools without the opportunity of trying it. What type of use do you get from yours? And are you okay with...

I just purchased a 2002 Jinma 224 tractor. The three point lift goes up and down without any weight on it, but if I put weight on it, it won't raise. The engine does not react to moving the lift like it does when using the front loader. What am I not doing? Also, what are you using for fluid...

I'm having problems with the hydraulic fluid foaming out the breather vent. The problem started after having to replace one of the hoses on the FEL which had a leak. Now, when lifting the FEL and the lowering the fluid foams out the breather. Also, the 3PT will not lift while the FEL is...

I have printed out the Jinma 100 hour service, which includes lifting out the hydraulic filter. But something is wrong, because on my shuttle shift Jinma, under the seat, there is no suction hose going to this filter. Theres a cover there with three bolts which looks like the right place, but...

Newbie question here. New tractor, has 30 hours on it, bought at dealer and it has warranty but getting the tractor to the dealer is a pain. Jinma 224, shuttle shift,.....today the FEL started working erratically...not smooth. Rough. Slower. Same thing with the boxblade. Lifts rough. A...

I came across some info previously that described how to adjust the injector pump timing without removing the rad hose ect but cannot find it. If I remember correctly this could be done while the engine was running and all you needed to do was turn a screw or bolt to advance or ****** the...

I was wondering if any one has installed a block heater on their jinma?If so is it a standard heater or special size?Also how do you punch the plug out of the block?I'm from Canada gets very cold!Thank you.

Just bought her brand new, I have no experience with tractors. When I need to put the tractor on the road and drive say 2 miles, I need to go faster. If I start out in a high gear the engine bogs (as it would in a car). When using higher gears, should I give her more RPMS and pop the clutch...

Whats the easiest way to increase the rear tire stance for stability? Switch each tire to the opposite side with wheel weight on inside? The manual leaves a lot to be desired. How many inches will the increase be? Thanks.

Folks, Am getting ready to change out the diff's and trans in my 224 and am wondering what th total fluid capacities are for these units. I want to have enough replacement gear oil on hand when I drain and flush so I don't have to make a second trip to the parts store. I did a forum search on...

Has anyone turned there 224 motor up any? I understand that there is absolutely no difference in the jm224 and the jm284 motor. I am no mechanic but how hard can it be to turn up . Robby

I have a jm 224 3 cyl 2004 mdl. I need to know what oil filter to use. The owners parts list says use 480g-09300. Everything I can findon the web refers to jx0706p,jx0710c or j0810h. I am a little confused. Thanks Robby

I have read many post on this matter. Correct me if I am wrong. 1. Drain out the 30 wt oil that came in the tractor. 2. Fill with deisel. 3. Start tractor , turn stering wheel back and forth , raise and lower the three point . (no fel ) 4. Drain deisel. 5. Clean screen . 6. Refil...

I picked up my tractor last Wed. I did not try the pto until today. Well It does not do anything in high (1000) or (540) speeds. When I move the engage lever it practicaly goes all the way to the floor. There is no noies or anything. I looked where the lever has an angle that in turn pushes a...

I have read all the post and answers about new jinma tractors that will not start in cold weather. My tractor will not start in 40 degree weather with out some trouble. I have installed a ford switch, I pulled all the glow plugs out they all read 2.4 ohms on the bench. I checked for voltage...

I posted this concern before, but then my laptop had to go away for a repair so I didn't get to see any discussion. So here it goes again...I put a backhoe implement on my Jinma & it seems back heavy to me when I drive around. Has anyone else used these & what precautions did you have to take...

I'm am looking to buy one of these tractors next year. I have heard the motor is basically the same but they "tune" them different. Is the physical size of the tractor the same? I have a Farm Pro 2wd 20hp which has been a decent tractor for me but I'd like to move up to something with a little...

Does anybody know the cross reference for a jx0707 oil filter for a jinma tractor. I know that nortrac and jepe tractors use the ty380 3 cylinder motor

for a 3pt hoe that runs on the tractor hydraulics, wondering how to plumb it. The engine pump goes to a koyker 160 (not sure if there is a free outlet on the spool, looks like there is), then it goes to a diverter or flow check which feeds the power steering and 3 point. The hoe guy says to...

Greetings all, I'm new to the tractor bit, but have looked at several of the customizations and so forth on this list and have more ideas than time as to what to do with my new Jinma. I've attached a photo of where the assembly started. For more info, I have a series of assembly photo's on my...
