front bucket hydraulic issues, and 50 hour tune up?

One thing to note - when you check the hydraulic fluid level, the dipstick should just rest on the opening, not be screwed in. If you screw it in, you'll end up running with the fluid somewhat low since the stick goes down further that way, giving a false reading. On Chinese tractors, screw-in dipsticks are done this way and push-in ones are pushed in to get a reading.

And also always check the hydro level with bucket on the ground and the hydros relaxed along with the 3 point lowered. Do this with the tractor running then let it idle down for a few seconds and shut it off before checking. This will give the most accurate readings.

And you cannot hurt it overfilling it. If it has too much, it will just push the excess out the vent:). Messy, but harmless...

I found that on my jinma 254, that when filled to the proper dipstick measurement, it would overflow out the vent when working uphill(front of tractor elevated). The 254 vent is in the fillercap/dipstick assembly so it is all the way at the back of the tractor. I converted that filler cap into a return port, so I relocated my vent to the highest point in the middle of the 3ph liftbox. This solved the annoying overflows when on a hill. Necessary change for me as my property is prettymuch all hill...

Glad you found the issue...
