Knockoff?

[ChrisVandersteen]

I have a "KJT 4530" that may be a knockoff of a Jinma 30hp tractor. It was sold used in the Ottawa area to my dad for about $9000 some years ago, and I am hoping to get some information on it so I can sell it for my step-mom. A Jinma dealer in Quebec suggested that the engine ID tag is fake. Any help would be appreciated.

We've seen those kinds of tags before. Also some unscrupulous types will change out tires and wheel and decals to make it look like something it is not.
The loader and muffler definitely look like Jinma. I don't recognize the cab or hood.
The muffler may be part of the engine in which case it is probably a YanDong.
You might try doing a search on the serial number of the engine to see if that gives any clues. Also look for an ID tag on the injection pump. That may help ID the engine.

It looks like a 30hp Jinma to me. Lots of 30's in the tag and that 4530 must be a homemade number.

Search the tractor pages online and see if you can find a look alike. My guess you'll find one that's similar.
If you are asking value for it, I'd guess around 3 grand if it runs ok.

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.
