Shenniu Parts source?

[GDC]

Hello
My Shenniu 254 quit on me yesterday while mowing. It started missing and blowing blue smoke and I immediately shut it down. Upon trying to restart, I found that the motor is seized. I had to tow it back to the house this morning. This is the first major problem with this tractor since I bought it new back in 1995. I figure while I have it apart fixing whatever is wrong internally I will replace the clutch. I am looking for a source for parts as well as advise on splitting the tractor.

Thanks
Greg

I am not aware of any Shenniu importers currently in operation. Hardy Diesel in california was a Shenniu tractor, the company may still be in business, but I don't think they have imported any tractors in several years. There was another company somewhere in the midwest that sold the tractor under a different brand name but I cant think of it now.

Thanks bluechip

My tractor originally came from Hardy, way back when they were China Diesel. I was hoping to find another source as their tractors have changed significantly over the years and getting the correct part for my old tractor has become a hassle.

Update

Upon disassembly, I found the the problem is the injection pump. I pulled it off and now the motor turns freely. I pulled the IP apart and can's seem to find anything wrong with it the wear surfaces and bearings look good and now it turns okay as well. i will try to get a new one or a rebuild kit and see what happens. Anny suggestions would be appreciated.
