Takes a minute for hydrolics to work

[Red55]

Can you still say that after your tractor is parked outdoors overnight during a cold New York winter Red? It's not fair to make such statements if in fact you park it in a heated/protected enclosure.

Greg-
I wasn't trying to stir things up. I'm just relaying what my dealer told me and how my tractor is performing and BECAUSE of what you said I will be changing to aw32 at 100hr mark. Also the new zl20 loader is working beyond my expectations especially after how I've read what a POS they are. Yes I'm a newbie

HEAT- I love my Jinma but I use a pellet stove to keep warm. She is sitting inside a unheated garage and is a PITA to start when cold. Just installed the decompression lever (only took two washers to shim out to clear the shuttle shift linkage) I will be installing a heater in the radiator hose but I'm too cheap to paid for shipping and havn't found it locally -Ed

Autozone sells em for 20 bucks. Just ask for a Kats heater. They carry about 4 different sizes. My Y485 used the 1 3/4" but I've heard the 3 cylinder engines use 1 1/2". My Kats has the engine up to about 40C in about an hour. glow plugs for about 30 seconds and it fires every time. Even around 10 degrees.

someone that's been with autozone a while will know exactly what you are asking for. The newer guys will just get a dumb look on their face.

Dwayne- I asked at autozone and got that look you were talkin about have to ask again. Starting to feel like a kid when you go to a store ya gota keep asking (likePITA) until you get what you want. Thanks -Ed

I got my 1 1/2" Katz heater at TSC for under $25. It was a perfect fit for my 2003 Jinma 254 and wow does it ever make a difference.

Thanks Chris- I did look when I was at TSC but didn't ask. Now I have another reason to make the trip (also want to pick up 5'Boxblade) -Ed

Well I tried to p[low drive way today (15" of snow) and I could not get the 3 point to lift at all. I messed around and the only way I could get it to lift was to first lift the front loader as high as it would go and then let it down and as it was going down i would pull the 3 point lever up and it would then go up.I haven't got a clue. I do know that it has the A32 hydraulic fluid in it because the fella I bought it from had it changed and gave me what was left of the 5 gallon bucket. Well hopefully you tractor doctors can figure this one out and point me in the right direction.

This issue is different than the one you started with, but it's not uncommon. Good chance you've got dirt in the priority valve. Don't know where they stick it these days. But on the older Jinmas it was down a little forward of the right floorboard, where the hose splits off to feed the power steering controller.

If you are still useing the factory hydraulic quick connects ???? they could be restricting the flow. ??

You could also take the loader out of the circut to see if it makes a differance.
