jinma 284

While troubleshooting a loss of power/shutdown situation I decided to remove the fuel sediment bowl. Sure enough, the threaded part snapped leaving a part of it in the tank. There appears to be a nut on it (or something that looks to be welded on, maybe a mounting flange?). I've tried to...

Good morning, I am new to this forum, I own a Jinma 284, we rebuilt the motor. Now the shifter became disengaged, (shifter flops around) it appears the attachment pin has broken. Can anyone give me some guidance on removing the bearbox cover so I can replace/insert a new pin? Thank you in...

Hi all, long time member 1st time poster. I have a 2007 jinma 284 with a coolant leak. Noticed a leak coming from the water pump area. Thought it was the water pump leaking out the weep hole. After pulling the the pump the pulley didn't show signs of a bad seal. Did notice coolant coming from a...

Hi all, I purchased my 284 new in 08. I have replaced the hydraulic pump once a few years ago. Trying to stop leak. Still leaked from same area. Seam around the pump and hose fitting that goes into pump from quick connect fitting. I put a rebuild kit on and was told that hose going into pump...

Hey all, First of all, sorry for the original post. Due to weather and health related issues it took me a while to get back to this project. For some unknown reason, I was convinced that the tractor was a 254 NOT a 284. What can I say other than oops I royally screwed up. So, I'm editing this to...

Hi all, I have a Jinma 284 chinese tractor and am having an issue with the relief valve. I was working on the hydraulics and removed the 4 bolts that hold the needle valve in on the bottom side of the loader valve assembly. Everything in Yellow in the photo fell out, and when I put it back in...

The other day I felt a "pop" in the clutch pedal and suddenly I had practically no free play and had to return the flopping pedal manually. I slide under it and found the return spring broken. No biggie, ordered a return spring from Keno Tractor and put it on today. Still have have no...

Would like to upgrade the air filter box to a Donaldson for quality issues. Went to their site, confused. :oops: Has anyone done this and is happy with their selection or can point me to the correct one that takes a common-ish filter? Thanks.

2006 Jinma 284 with Y385 engine. All working fine on a rather warm day. Shut down for a cold drink and re-fuel. When started back up tach was dead. No flaky behavior prior to this, working one minute and dead the next. All other instruments working. Looking at a wiring diagram it appears that...

Hi all, A disclaimer - I'm not very mechanically inclined and would benefit from very explicit info for any feedback! I definitely have some fuel leak(s) going on with my Jinma 284. Hard to tell exactly where/how many points are leaking. I have fuel dribbling pretty steady off the bottom of...

Does anyone know where I can obtain a service repair manual for the Jinma 284 with QC385 motor?

I believe they are the same tractor. I have hyd oil coming past the threads on the knob below seat. I think that is some sort of hyd control valve. Doent matter if it’s closed are open it still leaks, a lot.

My tractor does a lot of stacking of stuff. Snow (most winters), manure and sometimes dirt or brush. Since I don't have a lot of area the piles need to go up rather than out. As the piles get higher than about 6 or 8 feet I run into the issue of running out of hydraulic fluid. The loader...

I've been reading about the Jinma 4x4 issues while trying to understand what was happening to mine... the front and rear splines, balls, retainers and axle hubs were perfect, yet I was also experiencing the 4x4 dropping off under load. When I lifted the front end off the ground using the FEL...

The second fuel sender in less then 800 hours has failed. I think the first one lasted 300 hours and the replacement lasted maybe 100. I took the first one apart and in spite of it having redundant contacts on the swing arm/resistor it was worn out to the point it was no longer making reliable...

Hello all! I recently bought a Jinma 284 with FEL and I've noticed the P.O. has completely removed the shuttle shift mechanism. The original shuttle shift lever was straightened and welded directly to the shift pawl on the right side of the case. It constantly interferes with the left brake...

I bought a 2005 Jinma 284 with 212 hours on it about 4 years ago. I've been able to get it started twice since then about 2 years ago. So far I've replaced the starter, solenoid, ignition and I just put in a new battery last week. It ~STILL~ won't start! I'm into this thing a small fortune...

Can anyone tell me what the fluid specs are for a Jinma 284 tractor? It's been quite some time since I had any need for using my tractor and I'm sure many of you know what tricks the memory can play on you.

Looking for some advice. I have a 2006 Jinma 284 with some hydraulic issues. The loader goes up very slowly unless you turn the steering wheel hard either way. I have recently changed the hydraulic oil and now the bucket dumps fine but coming back up to level is very slow and turning the wheel...

Hi everyone. My name is Leo and I live in the California Bay Area. I am putting together a jinma 284 basket case from a box of parts. The online parts diagrams are very helpful but don't show everything exactly the way it needs to go back together again. I am wondering if there are any jinma...

My Jinma is in the current state of disrepair shown in the picture. She runs fine, so I would like to now put her back together. I have all the parts, but unfortunately I do not remember how it all goes back together. The on-line parts breakouts that Jinma parts dealers graciously provide do...

Hi All Hoping one of you might be able to help me out. I have a 2008 Jinma 284 and pulled it out of the shed and the left rear wheel was locked up. Seemed fine when I parked it. Anyway managed to get it back in the shed. Not an easy task dragging one tire. I have it tore down to whre I need to...

I have a 2004 Jinma 284 that will not go into 4wd. The lever will not move far enough to fall into the 4wd notch. It was always difficult to get in and out but now will not go in at all. Where should I start looking for problem? I don稚 have any diagrams to refer to. Thanks.

Anyone out there know what the torque would be on a 2007 Jinma 284 with a y385 and copper washers? Pulled my old ones out to replace on a Saturday and now I don't know how tight to make them and apparently I don't know where to look!! Thanks.

Hello everyone. The problem I'm noticing this winter is that when I start the tractor when temperatures are cold (less than 40 degrees F), when it starts the idle is super low. Like so low that I can watch the fan belt slowly turning around the pulleys (maybe 100 rpms?). It will do this for...

I致e had this Jinma 284 for several years, although am still learning how to maintain and fix. The tractor is used to move material around, and plow (rear mounted blade) in the winter. I recently started the tractor after sitting for several months. I depressed the clutch, and put it in gear...

Hello everyone. I have had my 2003 Ironhorse 284 (Y385 engine) for almost 3 years now. It has 320-ish hours on it and all works pretty well. The problem I have had since last winter is starting in anything cooler than 40 degrees F. Warmer than that, its starts just fine every time, in terms of...

I have a 2004 jm284 with a Y385 motor. The clutch is on its last leg. I researched and see a 8" & 9" clutch. Just trying to figure out which one I need. Also besides the clutch do I need anything? I see I need to split the tractor in half, any tips or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The PTO on my JINMA 284 won't stop turning. I've the engage/disengage lever seems very sloppy so I assume that this is a PTO clutch adjustment issue. Does anybody have any suggestions for how to fix this? Pics help :-) The tractor has always run like a champ, but may be starting to show its...

First Posting from NewBee.... I need to remove the 4x4 driveshaft from my Jinma to replace Oil Pump (with zero pressure!). I have searched the web for the best way to do that. Some folks say push the shaft to the rear and disconnect the front CV joint. Others - including Tommy - have said...

Hello All, I'm looking for some help troubleshooting transmission/4WD/powertrain issues with my Jinma 284. First a little background. A couple years back, I had the right front wheel separate at the axle. I pulled it apart, did some digging around here and the web, and determined the outer...

Ok 2nd question. 2004 JM284 y385 motor, cranks and starts right up, but has no electric to anything else, no lights, gauges anything. I checked the regular fuses and all are fine. Used a light tester and no power to Any fuse on either side. Any help greatly appreciated. Dre

Hello all. Am new here, 1st post. I have a Jinma 284 that I just purchased a few weeks ago. I got it cheap knowing it had some issues. The main issue is the 3 point hitch slowly goes down on its own. I've already searched and read before posting. Seems like the piston may need new o-rings...

G'mornin', I pulled the brakes and housing off the right side because they were binding because of the wishbone connections inside. Pulled the left to find it full of 80/90 from a failed seal. All cleaned up again, awaiting parts for all. Question I have is if the drain plug underneath the...

My Jinma 284 has had starter problems for nearly a year. There are nearly 700 trouble free hours on the machine and the starter was original. Battery is new. Even when hot, the only way I could start it would be to activate the compression release, spin it over, let go of compression release...

I put a new clutch assembly in this tractor about 4 years ago. Last year the PTO started scrubbing when you would engage it. I never used it that so it was not a big problem. I started having issues with the main clutch running out of petal. I figured something had happened inside since all the...

Anyone know how to remove the front 4wd coupling on a Jinma 284? I drove out the roll pin and assumed it was a "slip fit", but I have tried to aggressively tap it off and no joy. Is this a press fit? Thanks in advance...

I have a Jinma 284 that I use to do property maintenance (run a brush hog, box loader, etc.) Yesterday I hooked up a used (older) 3-pt post hole digger/auger for the first time since I picked it up at auction. The auger spun up okay, but the unit stopped rotating the moment it touched the...

Still troubleshooting the fuel system problem with my 284. Is it possible for the fuel system primer to get clogged up with gunk like the sediment bowl filter and the screened filter in the banjo fitting on the intake side of the primer? If so can the primer unit be removed and cleaned out...

Tried to fire up my Jinma 284 this week to get ready for the snowy season but the old gal failed to start. She fired off once and ran smooth for a few seconds then started sputtering. Smoothed out again but a few seconds later sputtered again. Did this three or four times and each time she...

Hey group, Please relieve some of my "freak out." I just bought a used Jinma 283 le today and the backhoe hydraulics are causing me to have a mini stroke. I picked up the tractor and the back hoe was not attached. I personally hooked up the auxiliary pump to the little removable plate area...

Hi guys. I'm a new member looking for info on my Jinma 284. Specifically looking for a diagram that shows which wires go to the posts on a new key switch.

I recently purchased a Jinma 284. The person I bought it from purchased it new in 2010 and the tractor only has 31 hours. It has a claw bucket and backhoe attachment (not visible in my pic). It didn't work out for what he intended to use the it for and hasn't even started it for two years. I'm...

Looking for someone who has suggestions on how to do this as I do not want to reinvent the wheel. Would like to move the airbox closer to the manifold under the hood, away from the radiator and have the air intake preferably above the hood. Would also like you to replace the cheesy airbox also...

After finding out all the things to do and not to do for a Jinma 284 splitting and clutch replacement, attached is a full procedure that I wrote which should save anyone else going through this a lot of grief and agony, and answer a lot of questions. It's a step-by-step procedure, with...

Hey, does anyone out there have the procedure to remove the gear from the pump so that I can remove it?

Does anyone have any experience in doing this. I have everything loose on the pump side but the gears on the timing side are still in tact. Therefore, I can't pull out the pump. Please help.

Seen a lot of great answers to many questions on here and was hoping someone could help me with mine. I have a 2004 Jinma Worktrac 284, recently im getting a lot of oil blowing out of the Respirator (Crankcase Breather). I'm understanding tat this should allow air into the crankcase and the...

I have a Jinma 284. When you turn the wheel to the left or right the wheel keeps turning and never stops. If you are moving and trying to turn the wheels will turn but go back to straight if you dont keep turning the wheel. I was told on another forum to replace the steering cylinder which i...

Does anyone know what normal operating pressures on the oil pump is supposed to be? I recently had to replace my oil pump on my Jinma 284 with the Y385 engine, man what a booger it was too. Anyway after the replacement I'm only seeing around 7-10 psi while I'm bush hogging, tractor is running...

Hello everyone. I just joined yesterday and this is my first post. I have owned this Jinma 284 for about five years now after buying it used and in pretty rough condition. Except for being awfully hard to work on, I think it is a pretty good, tough little tractor. So earlier this week I was...

I've been all over the net trying to figure this one out on my own and just seem to have something different. I started at circle g website and looked at every clutch assembly listed and mine appears to look most like a foton. It clearly has 3 fingers that reach down by the bearing gap appears...

Has anyone replaced the poorly-built Jinma loader valve with a "Brand Hydraulic Loader Directional Control Valve LV22RFSTKAB" [about $210 on Ebay]? If so, any issues? What about fittings; the fitting on the Jinma valve looks close to a #8SAE fitting, but measures .858" od, rather than the .84"...

I have two 3-point piston seal kits that I purchased from China. Both have more o-rings in the kit then I see installed on my tractor.

I just bought a 2007 Jinma 284 with 35 hours on it. I'm having trouble with the differential lock not disengaging, anyone know anything about this? Also after I've been operating it for maybe an hour it wants to stick in first gear, even with the engine off and clutch in still doesn't want to...

Recently it has become very hard to make right turns. If I forced the wheel it would eventually make the turn but now there is almost no right turn action. Left works fine, all the other hydraulics work fine. I jacked the front up and checked everything over, nothing bent or visibly broke...

Bearings and seal out on my Jinma 284 TY385 Water Pump. Heavy duty water pump, but I can't figure out how to get to the bearings. Seems a shame to dump and spend $180 for a new pump when it's just a normal bearing and seal replacement. The pulley won't budge with a puller, and the impeller has...

Hi all Does anyone know where I can get hold of a hydraulic steering pump diagram from? I have taken it to bits to clean it and change the bearings in it as they had collapsed and I want to make sure I put it back together right. Hopefully someone out there can help. Thanks

My Jinma 284 has started blowing oil out of the Oil Filler Plug under my seat. I thought that i had overfilled the tank and blown some kinda safety plug, but after buggin Thomas at Affordable Tractor, apparently this is a breather plug. Thomas believes I have air in my system and it's causing...

I don't have any front wheel drive, I haven't checked it out at all, there doesn't appear to be any unusual noise. Is there a shear pin somewhere? Where should I start looking? Thanks

Hey guys, just a quick question. I recently replaced the water pump on my 2007 Jinma 284 with the Y385 engine at 759 hours and a cost of over $200.00 with shipping. Today I took the leaking original pump apart and found that the bearing and seals are worn out. Does anyone know if rebuild parts...

The hydraulic pump on my Jinma 284 is held to the drive assembly (which is bolted to the back of the timing cover) by two bolts. The pump has snapped the lower of the two bolts twice in the past week. The first time the FEL was under a light load, and the second time the 3pt was under a light...

After seeing zero oil pressure on the gauge, I just installed a new oil pressure sender to no avail. To do a double check, I took the new sender off and left it off while starting the engine and running for about 5 seconds. I hoped to see oil shooting out. Not a drop. Oil level is fine on...

My First Post Have been learning a lot from other posts. I messed up let engine oil run low seizing to piston bearings.

Changed the oil and filter on my 05 284 and put in the 6 qts as I have done for the past 10 years. Maybe I made a mistake, but my dipstick is reading over full after letting it run for two minutes after the oil change. I ran it anyway today for about an hour cutting grass with my 6' finish...

Haven't used the tractor in a few months. After cranking it I pushed in the clutch to put it in gear , wouldn't go in gear just grinding. Clutch was stuck. Cranked it in gear and worked the throttle and pumped the clutch at the same time. It finally broke free , but it seems the second stage is...

I recently bought a used 284 with about 230 hours on it. I was using the backhoe in the yard today, and decided to take a break, drove over to the shop, shut down, got some coffee. I had decided to top off the hydraulic fluid in the backhoe, so I let the stabilizers and arm down to take the...

Hi folks. I've had a slight issue with my 3PH control valve lately. This is the control valve on the RH side of the seat that lowers/lifts the 3 pt. hitch. When I actuate the valve to lift the hitch, I feel almost a "grinding" resistance and the lever becomes almost stuck. If I push it...

Hi. I have a 2005 Jinma 284, and I'm planning on full fluid change tomorrow. I've never changed a filter on a diesel motor before. Anything special I need to do? Should I fill the new filter with fuel before screwing it onto the spindle? Thanks

Hello, need help. I parked my Jinma, two, three weeks ago and went to start it today and it won't start. I had left the kill switch pulled out, I pushed it back in, I plugged it for at least 1/2 hour, the engine was warm enough to start it. It cranks, no start, there's fuel in it, checked all...

Does anyone know what type of anti-freeze is used in the Jinma 284? I have a manual that says to use regular 50/50 coolant. But I'm hearing about diesel anti-Freeze. The difference is whether the engine is a wet sleeve or dry sleeve cylinders. Does anyone know what these Jinma's have as far...

Hi Folks. Does anyone have accurate info on the filter types (NAPA, WIX, etc.), fluids (weights, etc.) and plugs that a 2008 Jinma 284 tractor with a front loader uses/requires. I getting ready to do a full maintenance run on mine for the first time (bought a year ago) and I have several...

OK, my first post here. Can anyone tell me or send a picture of where the voltage regulator is on this 2008 Jinma 284. I have a charging problem with it. I have a battery idiot light on it and it stays on all the time. When the battery gets weak it won't start or is slow and I charge the...

I'm in the process of replacing the front hub seals and researched everywhere to learn how to do it. The first hub came off with no problem and I did my best to clean off all the grit before breaking any seals. It's now on the bench with the shaft sticking out and seals removed. Some grit...

I picked up one of the vacuum oil evacuators to use on my VW Passat TDI, my Jinma 284, Saab, and other machines. There are plenty of videos for the VW diesel so I knew in advance that I could remove all the oil from the dipstick hole. I had trouble with the Jinma and could not insert the...

Hi All, i just purchased my first tractor ( Jinma 284, Koykey 160 Fel )for a discount price that from a guy who didn't want to put a new starter in it. When i got the starter in i was surprised to find there was pretty much no problems other than the breaks didn't work which i was able to...

Just a simple problem, but I just thought that I would ask here before acting and then perhaps have to do it again. My OE loader joystick controller box has a leak from where the front most hydraulic line enter the box. I tried tightening it down but it still leaks. The seems to be a rubber...

Hi I'd like to find out if anyone knows the size and where to get chains for my rear lug tires. I'm thinking I'd like a set for winter plowing. I see some posts here for the turf style tires, but not the lug type. Anyway, if someone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it...

Hello again! I have been trying to get some of the electrical things working again on my tractor and step #1 for me was to check all the fuses. Well, they all look good but when I started looking into the fuse box layout it appears the guy before me may have screwed up some of the fuses. Does...

Hi folks I have a 2005 Jinma 284, and I'd like to get a spare key made for it. I have the orignal key, but really want a spare. I've searched around town at the local shops and no one seems to have a blank to copy the key I have. Is there a place online where I can buy a blank? Thanks. Denny

Looking for a subframe to mount a LITW (Sewoong) BH6600/BH7600 backhoe on a Jinma 284 tractor with ZL-20 loader. If you have one or know where I can get one, please respond to this message or send me a PM. Thanks, Tim

Hi all I know I've seen this topic discussed before, and I tried searching. So forgive me if this is a repetitive question. On the era rod the tractor, just left of the hydraulic fill hole/ dipstick, there is a tube that comes back with a 90 deg. bend upward, and a rubber plug. I assume...

My lower radiator hose sprang a leak this weekend. Top hose looks fine. I've searched around the forum here for a cross reference # to buy one locally at an auto parts store. The only thing I could really find was a Prestone part # 80070. This was from a post back in 2009. Wondering if...

Hi Originally posted this in the general troubleshooting forum. Figured I'd repost here to see if I get more specific replies... I recently took possession of a 2005 Jinma 285 w/ FEL. It came with a piece of property I recently purchased. When handing it over, the previous owner indicated...

Hi I recently took possession of a 2005 Jinma 285 w/ FEL. It came with a piece of property I recently purchased. When handing it over, the previous owner indicated that the rear 3 pt. lift system wasn't working. Here is what he said has been done so far to correct the issue: "It appears...

Hey guys, I have a Jinma 284 (I believe a 2007) with a FEL. I have read quite a bit about the seals for the power steering hydraulics being a common problem for these tractors. My question is, does anyone know how I can test the steering without disconnecting everything? Is there some sort of...

Hi Just purchased a 284 Jinma and am trying to get it running well. Currently got the 3pt lift working and fixed a suction leak. All is working but appears that the pump(?) is not producing a lot of pressure. Currently hydraulic line goes from pump to 3000psi pressure gauge T before going in...

So I have acquired this weird knocking noise, it is not all the time and there is no real time when it does it, so it does it at full throttle sometimes and other times its at idle, this is where it gets weird, it goes away and maybe be a day or so before it comes back, first it sounded like it...

Hello all I recently purchased a 2007 Jinma 284, I am not to familiar with this tractor so I have a couple of questions, maybe someone out there can guide me in the right direction A couple of things that I've already done with it, I put the correct battery in it, changed out the upper radiator...

Hi, I recently done maintenance on my Jinma 284 tractor and I change the gear oil in front axle and transmission. My question is : do I have to change oil in rear axle gear or it is done within the transmission oil maintenance? The drain plug for transmission is under the tractor towards speed...

Hi, My Jinma 284 tractor was A-1 yesterday. Today, I've done a 250 hours maintenance (changing oil & filter; gear oil, prestone, injector oil & air filter cleaning). After that, when I try to start the tractor does start anymore and it does't crank. Here is a short clip of what it done ...

Hi folks. For the past week I have been cutting hay with my 2004 Jinma 284 with Y385 engine just in mornings and evenings. For four days the engine has been running at 80 degrees until last night when after just a little running the temp shot up all the way in the red. The belt is tight, the...

My jinma fires up with a jump start, however battery light stays on unless 3/4 - full throttle. Voltage Regulator? Battery? Alternator? or Key Switch. Changed the cables. Any help would be great. Thanks Dave

I know that I have dirty fuel so please no admonishion on that. But it is a real pain cleaning the 4 strainer screens before the fuel gets to the pump and filter. I am considering pulling them all out and putting an inline filter on the line between the sediment bowl and banjo fitting at the...

Hi all. Let me see if i can fully explain everything that is happening. Was using tractor with FEL to move some dirt around, and noticed that the steering wasn't as sensitive as usual. Checked fluid level, and it was low. Added AW-32. Engine oil level is normal. Later, while still moving...

No matter how I adjust my cable it seems I can only get forward or reverse without several tries and some scrubbing .I can finally get it in gear but you have to push it hard. It will go in one gear but I can't adjust it for both.

Hello Folks, Having a problem, sometimes the dash will light up gauges work but when I go to start it goes dead gauges/dash goes dead and no turn over, nothing. Figure it is a short but not sure how to go about fixing. Any thoughts, ideas work around? Thanks, Swampy

I'm new to this forum and a new (first time) tractor owner. I've just taken delivery of a 2012 Jinma 284 w/aftermarket FEL. According to the hour meter, the engine literally has less than 1 hour on it. I've been operating the tractor lightly around my property just to get familiar and...

Ok here is the story... Back in October my tractor was leaking coolant from the water pump, wasn't sure if I would find a bad bearing or seal so I ordered new ones from Tommy at Affordable (super guy to work with by the way). Parked the tractor and pulled it apart. Cut to a few weeks later I...

Hi guys, I was cleaning snow and making big pile of snow, then I noticed the left steering knuckle arm was broken because I wasnt able to steer (the top part had mostly popped out of its place)... maybe i tried turning my wheels while in the hard snow (with full bucket) but I am not sure when...

I currently use a FEL and a rear blade for my snow clearing, and have found I don't care for the krick I keep getting in my neck when blading snow around. I found a picture of this rig and wonder if anyone has experience using anything like this on their 284?? It looks like it would be...

Tractor newbie here. Considering 2004 Jinma 284 4X4 w/FEL. Any big problems with these tractors to be worried about? Thanks for any advice.

Has anyone ever retrofitted the loader for plowing snow? Is the a snowplow attachment avaialbe for my Jinma 284?

Well, I am really loving my pre-loved Jinma 284. However I would love it more if I could tell what the temp , oil pressure, RPM and if my lights are on. I do have the AMP meter working to a degree. I have removed the fuse box from the braket while it was running and "wiggled" the wires around...

Hello, Just wonder if someone could point me in the right direction. I just bought a 2005 Jinma 284 with the intregrated cluster panel. I can only get the tail / marker lights to come on. I started "jiggling" the connector from the fuse box to the cluster panel and I was able to get all the...

A gentleman down the road is wanting to sell me his Jinma 284, I know nothing about these tractors, it looks and runs good, has less than a hundred hours, it is a 4 wheel dr, power steering, the only problem I see with the tractor is the clutch may need replacing, it does not engage until the...

I have owned this tractor for quite a while but don't know much about tractors. I just read 'Won't stay up' post by Licking and the answers he got answered my question but he had a different brand of tractor. Sounds like I have some damaged O rings and wipers. The manuals I have are very...

I am a new tractor owner with a 2007 Jinma 284 4WD with 481 hours. This tractor seems to be a little too complicated for this newbie and the owners manual is useless. Does anyone have any idea how much my tractor would be worth if I wanted to sell it? It has a front loader on it, and may come...

This is my first time buying a compact tractor, and wondering if I'm getting a good deal. The tractor is a 2000 with 300 hours on it. Its a Jinma 284 with a Koyker 160 loader. For just the tractor and loader I'm looking at 5,900.00. The guy has some attachment for it too and if I want the...

I have a Jinma 284 that Jumps out of hi-lo range, the shifter near the front top of the reansmission, can anyone give me an idea what to do to fix this short of tieing it in gear, especially bad in low range. I took the top off but was unable to get a feel for what to do.

I am replacing the steering cylinder on my 284. Removed the old cylinder and took off the jam nut and end piece, intending to move them to the new cylinder. Then I tried to manually pull out the piston to have room to install the new boot. But, I cannot budge the piston by hand. The old one...

Greetings, I am a new member and am disappointed and somewhat intimidated to find that I have to split my Jinma 284. I have a severe engine oil leak coming out under the bell housing. It seems too bad a leak for an oil seal and the clutch is still working fine, so I'm not 100% sure that it is...

Is it just my bad luck or are all Jinma starters a problem. I have had to replace/rebuild the starter twice on my Jinma 284. Both times it was due to water leakage (ie rain) inside the case causing rust, corrosion and total failure of the starter. Does anyone know of a replacement starter...

I have jima 284 / post hole digger and fel. while digging a post hole the downwood feed on the three point hitch stopped working , can someone point me in the right direction of what to check. thanks

I have two other threads on this one but they are related to self import and hose connection problems. These threads are http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/chinese-tractors/223303-hw04x-bh-hose-connection-problem.html and...

I recently obtained a Jinma 284 with about 600 hrs. The previous owner said that they had just put a clutch in it. The tractor drives fine but the PTO is not working properly. When engaged in either the 540 or 1000 rpm modes is clearly does not spin fast enough and can be stopped simply by...

In the 3 years I've owned my 284, I've manged to braek both front axles. Now I realize I shouldn't use 4 wheel drive unless it's absolutely required. The latest issue is for the front right axle (tire hub and all) to fall off. I've destroyed the 2 bearings. Where can I find an exploded view or...

Hello, New to the site and appreciate all of the knowlege.

I was uning my Jinam 284. I changed it from 4wd to 2wd. Everything was working properly. Now I can't get it to go into 2wd or 4wd. Any ideas on what I can do to get it in gear?

I was using my Jinma 284. I switched from 4wd to 2wd. Everything seemed to be working fine. Now I can't get it to go into 2wd or 4wd. Can someone tell me what to check to get it to go in gear?

Tractor: Jinma 284 (2005) with FEL & 3-point hitch. I have a brush hog on the 3PH. Typically, I need to have the tractor running a good 20-30 minutes before the 3-point hitch can be lifted. The FEL will operate beautifully as soon as the engine is running smooth, but the 3-point won't budge...

Hi all took delivery of a 6 yr old Jinma 284 with 37 hrs on the dial. Goes well but I bought a new Howard Nugget 54'' slasher and I think it's too big! My pto clutch won't turn it anymore? Where can I download/buy a manual to adjust the two stage clutch and inform me of the correct oils to use...

Anyone ever taken one apart? Parts manual does not show internals. I noticed mine leaking several days ago (Around the collar threads, not the rod) and after pulling it off the tractor, thought I found the problem.... assuming that outer threaded collar the rod goes through is not supposed to...

I finally fixed all of the other issues I had with this tractor, but When I started cutting grass today the temp would slowly creep up until it would get close to the red mark and I shut it off. Washed the radiator out and started cutting again with the same results. I pulled the battery out and...

In troubleshooting my tach failure (bad sensor, only putting out .5V signal instead of the nearly 5V signal the tach needs to operate) I pulled my cowling and also did some wire cleanup. This gave me the chance to finally finish the updated electrical schematic I started several years ago...

My Jinma 284 (2007) lost all it's electrical functions. No lights, no tack or gages, no response from the ignition switch. I can start it by jumping the starter poles. Does this sound like a bad ignition switch or something else? I checked all the grounds and the battery is full charged. If...

This is really more of a backhoe/hydraulic question, but the BH is on a Jinma 284. Where in the circuit would I plumb a pressure gauge to test the pressure relief setting on the BH? My set up uses tractor hydraulics, not a PTO pump. I thought I could install the gauge between pressure line...

Hi, I have a 284 this is the 3rd year for it, it works great. I did have to put a block heater in it (the inline type) as some doughnut eating pencil pusher :confused: decided that it would be a good idea to put a decompression lever in it. And as you well know low compression in a diesel = no...

Hi Gents, I'm new here, just bought a clean one owner 2004 Jinma, seems to run good but, just bought a lands pride RBT 1572 rear blade. Problem is I can't get the 3 point to lower, if the lever is left in the lower position it will bleed down after sitting a few minutes. IT lifts great. Is there...

I have a Jinma 284 (Agtraxx). Both the 3PH and the front end loader leak down, with or without load, with the engine running or killed. I just bought this tractor and I believe it is around a 2002 model. The engine also has to be at 1/2 throttle for the hydraulics to work. Any suggestins on...

How do you start a Jinma 284 after I was dumb enough to run out of diesel? Also, how do you get the 4wd to work? I've tried the level but nothing happens.

Hello, Once again my ignition switch does not work. It has self-healed in the past but now, nothing. It's getting annoying starting it with a screwdriver. Is there a swap in ign switch from a more reliable mfgr, or am I stuck buying another Jinma POS switch? Thanks, Darwin

I have a Jinma 284 that fires while it is being cranked but won't keep running. I have just reassembled the engine after replacing the head gasket and the freeze plugs under the valve lifter covers. I was getting water into the oil and found a freeze plug had popped out. I have a full fuel...

Anyone know what pipe size of the tank outlet fitting that connects to the fuel bowl. Mine uses the locking nut style fuel bowl and is currently in service. I'm considering repiping a different type of fuel bowl assembly in that area. I would like to add a pipe-to-barb fitting at the tank...

I searched this site before I performed my own troubeshooting using the recommendations made by others for similar problem. This is a 2007 Jinma 284 with 9 hours. Hasn't had much use as you can tell I relocated it back in April and didn't try to start until yesterday. Turns over but no fuel...

I have a Jinma 284 that wont roll in Rabbit drive but will roll in Turtle. I am wondering is this a clutch problem or a transmission problem? Any input would help. Thanks

I have a Jinma 284 that will roll in the turtle gears but not in the rabbit gears. Any suggestions, is it the clutch or the transmission? Any help or suggestions would be appericiated. I am just a lady with a tractor and would like to fix it myself if I could. It only has about 30 hrs on it...

I have a 2002 Jinma 284 and need a injector pump and can not find my engine manual. Bock casting is Y385, can anyone tell me what is the correct part # for the injector pump (Y385T-6-10100) 31329 ?

Hi all - I recently changed my hydraulic oil on my 284, and bypassed the FEL via the quick-connects to help prime the pump. At this point my brush hog moved up & down easily on the rear hitch and power steering was fine too. After stopping the engine & re-connecting the FEL, the engine had...

I hope someone can help me with my 2006 Jinma 284 that has been overheating. I have replaced the thermostat, I have also taken the radiator to a radiator shop and had it cleaned inside and out. My water pump is functioning because the water is flowing in the radiator, I don't see any oil in my...

This mode is for a 2008 Jinma 284 with shuttle shift I don't know about you, but I keep forgetting that my 4wd is engaged. I also leave my ignition key on. So I came up with two idiot lights. I bought 12 volt hi-bright lamps they come in a two pack I am using a soft touch button switch...

I had some more fun with the Jinma this weekend. Promptly after I fixed the IP, the ignition began going dead, INTERMITTENTLY. I noticed some moisture on the key (we had a rain/snow storm the night before). I sprayed it thoroughly inside and all exterior contacts. After about 50-60 tries...

In the process of bringing my new/used tractor up to speed with it's maintenance I decided to change out the transmission oil only to discover that it's a light creamy color. I'm concerned this may be water, can someone please inform me if I'm correct or if it's something else and what is the...

Hi all, I believe the temperature plug on my 2004 Jinma 284LE with Y385 engine, went south on me last week. As soon as I start the tractor, the temperature gauge rises all the way to hot (sweeps all the way to right) within 30 seconds :eek:, and this is on a 40 degree day, so no way it's that...

Hello, I searched the archives but couldn't find an answer to my problem. I have only had my tractor 5 weeks, it has 20 hours on it. Yesterday when I tried to start it, the starter would only click, but loudly. I put a meter on the battery, saw it was a little low (didn't realize the Alt...

First post but have read off and on for last year. Am about to pull the trigger on a 284 w/ loader, assembled and delivered for $10K. I am replacing my old massey that broke an axle this week. Any comments positive or negative? I am aware of most of the cautionary tales regarding these...

To make a long story short, I busted the 4wd on Loretta's 284. Ever since reading about how careful to be ... not using 4wd when using the loader for example, we have been using it sparingly and only when needed. Well, when I was using her 284 to rip trenches for the sprinkler systems, I needed...

I made a new post because I thought maybe people thought I was listing cross references but I have a problem. I found these cross reference numbers on a couple of different sites. Oil Filter - NAPA 1516 Fuel Filter - NAPA 3195 Air Filter - NAPA 2276 I was changing oil and the filter doesn't...

I found these cross reference numbers on a couple of different sites. Oil Filter - NAPA 1516 Fuel Filter - NAPA 3195 Air Filter - NAPA 2276 I was changing oil and the filter doesn't fit. I went to NAPA website and it says Oil Filter Thread Size (inches) : 3/4 - 16. Any help would be...

The tach on my 284 up and quit a while ago and I am finally getting around to fixing it. I checked the sending unit and it generates approximately 4.5 to 5 volts AC at idle and increases as RPM's are increased. The tach doesn't work at all. My question is what voltage should I expect to see from...

I am sorry if I missed my answer in a previous post, but I tried to search and couldn't find anything in the forums. I was using my Jinma 284 this evening when all of a sudden, it slowed down and quit moving although the tractor was in gear. No noise, just quit moving. When I stepped on the...

Hi everybody, back to pick your brains again. Lately, when I go out to start my tractor, there's not enough juice left in the battery to start. Bought a new battery, still same problem. The ammeter shows that the alternator is charging the battery, and when I turn the key off the gauges drop...

Hi, this is my first time on the forum. I recently purchased a used Jinma 284, but didn't receive a manual with it. Could someone get me started here, such as a good parts source for this tractor? Also, what are the fluid capacities for the 284....oil, transmission, and hydraulics? Thanks for...

I have read of a number of things that will cause a tractor to overheat. I have personally experienced a radiator blocked with weed seed and trash, and I blew two head gaskets before I realized that the fan belt was loose and the fan wasn't turning. Yesterday I encountered a new cause. I had...

i have a 2005 284 with almost 300 hours. tonight using it, i noticed that when turning right, it would go to full stop in one turn of the wheel from straight, and turning left it takes two and half turns from straight. so i checked from lock left to lock right it takes two and a half turns and...

When attaching a frame mount backhoe, what is the correct way to attach the backhoe frame at the rear of the tractor? It looks like the two backhoe brackets slip over the two large lower three point hitch pins. Should I use the pins or should I remove them and bolt the brackets in place...

I have an 06' w/20 hours on it, so I know it's not worn-out yet :+)) The other day I was using it, pulled the left hand lever back to put the machine in reverse and I had nothing. I then pushed the lever forward, putting the tractor in forward gears and had nothing. I climbed off and looked it...

No big deal...just sharing... Just to let you know, the PTO clutch on Loretta''s 284 Jinma was sticking. We were using the post hole digger. Sometimes pressing the clutch pedal in all the would stop the implement rotation, other times not. Being a dangerous tool, I thought it best to check...

I am going to look at a Jinma 284 tomorrow. Don't know many details about it, like if it's shuttle shift but I believe it is a 2005 model and they say it shows 175hrs on a working tach and is very clean. Comes with a JD mower (not sure if that means an RFM or bush hog or what size). Local car...

I'm getting close to buying a Jinma 284 for maintenance of my 4 acres, including a 400' gravel drive. We'll be scrapping an old Nissan Pathfinder that has a Meyer plow I bought new and only used here. It works perfectly. When we scrap the Nissan it makes sense to either sell or use the Meyer...

I have a Jinma 284 with a new injection pump, I am trying to time it but there are no marks on flywheel or timing gears, somebody please help :) Andy

Howdy Folks, :) I push the clutch pedal down, tranny in neutral, turn ignition key to (H) glow plugs heat up 20 seconds, turn the key farther clockwise to (ST) Start---she does Nothing. I touch a screwdriver on the starter solenoid large battery cable post & small post to the right with...

My 284 does not have any rear quick connects. It does have a pair on the side of the engine leading to the pump. It also has the priority diverter valve. My new log splitter has two quick connects on it, is it as simple as attaching the log splitter into the tractors circuit or will there be...

I have a 05 jinma 284 that i just put back together for the 2nd time, different story.The tractor will crank right for about three or four turns then start to turning like the battery is dead.wait four or five min, and it does same thing all over again. new battery 750 cca,all other electrical...

I know there are many threads about setting the valve lash and torquing the head bolts by now, but this one is for Loretta's 2008 Jinma 284 with the QC395T EPA conforming engine. Loretta helped me with the whole procedure and did several things herself. It might help some guys who have that...

I have a Work Trac 284 (Jinma 284). I have had this tractor about a year and a half. It is a great tractor in the summer but once the temperature dips into the 40's at night, it is very difficult to start. After reading other posts on this site about this problem, the following info may help...

I've got a problem with how little Loretta's Jinma284 bucket curls. When she scoops up dirt or material, a lot of it tends to fall out of her bucket because the bucket does not curl back far enough to make sure it stays in there. Especially when carrying the load low, the material tends to...

Loretta finally got around to changing her injector pump oil on her 2008 Jinma 284. It is a good thing to check it frequently and change it once a year or sooner if you wish. Keeps your injector pump in good working order. Some reminders on how to do it. Refer to the photos below and use a...

Hi there i have a 284 with a 4 in 1 fel and a backhoe on the back with a kind of clicking noise in the front wheels. did have a proble with it not going into 4wd but have adjusted the clutch and working fine now only problem is the noise. it is sort of like if u spin one of them prize wheels...

My Jinma 284, which now has over 100 hours on it, has a couple issues. When I feed the chipper and load down the engine, I get puffs of blue smoke. But this only seems to happen 50 percent of the time. Sometimes it's worse than other times as well. I can turn the engine off , go get a drink...

I am fitting a new Jinma loader to my 284. Where are the hydraulic hoses meant to be plugged in? The hoses on the FEL are too short to reach back to the rear of the tractor.

Hello Fellows: Just wondering if any of you guys can give this old dog a new trick or two, by explaining "How to Hookup a Box Blade" to ones "28 Hp Unit (Jinma, or others sim.)? I've just received the Box Blade, and "all the trimmings" were deposited in a heap. I don't mind; but, I'd like to...

I haven't split the tractor yet but the cross shaft is moving fine and there is no pressure on the pedal so I assume the pin holding the fork to the shaft fell out or broke. 320 hours on the tractor. Not wanting to need to do this repair again, I wondered if there is a better way to fasten the...

Yesterday, I experienced a complete hydraulics failure -- fel, 3pt, steering. I was doing some light brush hogging (2200 rpm), going downhill, not using any hydraulics, when suddenly the engine acted as if it had a tremendous load and soon died even with the clutch down. It took some cranking...

I checked back through the old post and found one on page 30 pertaining to replacement tail light bulbs for a 284LE. Are all of the tail light assemblies the same on 284(s) built in 2005(LE vs. ?). The socket I have on my 284 will not accept a standard two filiment bulb. My dealer says he can...

Hi all, My second post about Jinma transmissions - apologies for obsessing.... A big chunk of my tractor time will be spent mowing my 5.5 acre property, and the rest will be doing FEL and other project work. At this stage I'm leaning towards a Jinma 284 with shuttle shift, 4-in-1 loader, and...

Hi all, I'm seriously considering a Jinma 284 with shuttle shift for mowing, FEL work, and general project work on my 5.5 acres. I'm a bit confused about how the Jimna shuttle shift works, so can someone with experience with one walk me through the sequence of operations in a typical fwd-rev...

My tractor used to lift itself using the front end loader at idle. It got where I had to up the RPM's to get it to lift. I replaced the pump and it is no better. Help please

I am currently in the process of draining and refilling all the fluids for the first time on my jinma 284. for draining I have found all the drains but am not sure when the filling port for the transfer case is. I have the shuttle shift on mine. Could someone please assist. Thanks.

I'm trying to diagnose the following symptoms. The power steering will work to the left but not to the right. When I try to use the front end loader, it kills the engine. I took the bypass hose off of the diverter valve and no fluid comes out when the engine is running. I took apart the diverter...

I am trying to help my buddy get his new Jinma 284 FEL working and we are having a problem. When we can get the loader to move any one direction the second we move the valve and anyther direction it binds up and stalls the motor. The motor will not restart until we unhook one of the quick...
