rural king jinma 254

[dancce]

OK, you fellers got my curiousity up-----where is the headquarters of Rural King----and I am wondering where their Jinma tractors come from----are they importing directly from China, or do they buy from another importer like Homiers???

Geez,---After I posted, my brain kicked in and told me , they probably have a web site---low-and-behold, I found their headquarters in Illinios along with all their store locations.
(It's been a long day!!)

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( there was alot of scratches in the paint and the battery seemed either too small for the tractor or it was dead, cuz it wouldnt start. the tractor had 5.5 hrs on it. the edges of the fiberglass body parts were rough. canopy had a lot of scratches. are these things normal? )</font>

Fit and finish has never been Jinma's long suit, but when you think about it - it's built into the price. Plus, RK assembles them with unskilled labor. Jinma engines are almost impossible to cold start without glow plugs. They may not have been wired up yet (or correctly). Unless you force the issue, they'll try and stick a small pickup battery in the tray. A glow plug diesel shouldn't be sold without a bare minimum 750CCA battery. I insisted on 1000.
