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 shaft into the tractor housing when ingaged. The shaft moves about 1/2 inch. There is some adjustment on that shaft but I am not shure that is the problem. Any input would be greatly appriciated. Thanks Robby

That is your diff lock. The PTO should be further back I believe.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I have two levers (540,n,1000) in the back of the tractor and the long lever on the right side of the seat. It is not the diff.lock lever. Robby )</font>
I don't know what you mean by the back of the tractor, my levers were on either side of the seat. The PTO speed select (540-N-1000) was on the left, the PTO engage/disengage lever (ENG/DIE) was on the right. Depending upon the year of manufacture, that ENG/DIE may be optional. I had one Jinma with it, the other without. The Diff Lock lever is to the right and down, close to the floorboard.
The left (PTO speed select) lever will not work at all, till the right (PTO engage/disengage) lever is in the ENG position. Those tractors configured without that right lever are configured internally in a full time ENG mode, leaving all PTO control up to the left lever.
Take a second look at your levers and controls, and see if any of this helps get the PTO shaft spinning. We can resume from there if that still leaves you with a problem.

This is common to new Jinma owners. There are just so many levers and the op manual (if you got one) is crystal clear.... to some english speaking chinese /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Look by the heal of your right foot. That is where the pto engage/disengage lever is. It is a short lever. The long levers on that side are for diff lock and hyd raise/lower. The lever toward the back is the pto speed selection lever. If it is in "N" it will also disengage. I leave my speed selection lever always in 540, and just use the engage/disengage lever by my foot.

Thank all of you for your input on this matter. This is a matter of me reading this Chinese manual. I think this forum is the best help anyone could ask for. I would vote for a Jinma forum becuase most of the post are about Jinma tractors. Thanks again, Robby

Toolman,
Question on your picture. On the transmission, the high/low range lever hump, I see a breather. Is this how newer Jinmas are coming? or you modified? Mine has the ole J tube breather. Just curious.

John, I also noticed the difference when looking at the manual. It's a Northern Tool modification. It also came with a similar one on the hydrualic sump, but without the long neck. I modified that one my adding a 3" neck between the fitting and the breather. Now I can go up my 20 degree driveway without losing any hyd fluid.
