Parts manual for TS 254 or comparable.

[Desert Bred]

Anyone have any in a pdf form .. i'm trying to get some parts for my chinese tractor. thanks

 

[Desert Bred]

found one for a 2004 and it looks very comparable:

Now that I have one maybe someone could answer some basic questions..


Oil inflow:
#1 sitting on the tractor, is this located on the right side of the seat.
#2 is the filter the last or first to get oil from sump



Letter 'E':
What exactly are they referring to as 'Main control valve or Return valve'?

My guess is it controls the 3 point and typically is on the right side.

It looks like a typical Chinese hydro system. Where there is a strainer prior to the pump. When its prior to a pump its refered to as a strainer. On my Jinma its set up like this. Reservoir, strainer, pump, systems (FEL 3 point steering), then back to the reservoir.

I believe Chris is correct, but he may not realize that you have a PTO pump. I thought you'd have figured that out when I asked earlier if you'd visually followed the lift lever linkage. Makes sense that they'd call it a main control valve. And yes, it's logically on the same side as the lift lever. The return valve is the one sticking out beneath the front side of the seat; the one that's missing its knob.

alright just keep in mind that terminology isn't easy to discern on day3 of tractor ownership without proper manuals.. still waiting on them.. and never having taken apart an engine or the like.. so when you say following the 'lift lever linkage'.. i read 'Make sure the linkages on both lift levers actually move with their levers.' - - - that could really only be accomplished by removing the cover on the sump i understand.

You may end up doing that. But all external hardware/functions/controls should be confirmed as functioning first.
