This may sound simple, but I cannot<br>
find where on the handle for the <br>
Jinma -180 throttle is some kind<br>
of friction disc to help keep the<br>
arm from slipping back to idle.<br>
<br>
It will not stay where it is set.<br>
<br>
This makes it difficult to finish mow.<br>
Thanks

Winter is coming up and last year my<br>
JM-180 3 point took many warm up minutes<br>
before I could lift the rear blade and<br>
pull some snow.<br>
I have some new oil (5 Gal) and would like to<br>
change it without breaking into the hydraulic<br>
system and run th pump dry.<br>
<br>
Since the oil drain is in the front and the<br>
dipstick is in the rear what do you think of<br>
slowly releasing oil from the front while<br>
infusing new oil from the rear.<br>
I figure a 5 gallon flush while it is running<br>
would yield mostly lighter wt oil in the sump.<br>
<br>
Yes?<br>
<br>
No?<br>

Napa could not fix me up with an off
the shelf solution.However, They suggested
I cut off the crimp and remove the hose,
then install a gas line and hose screw
hose clamp.
I did that and so far on start up (after
somewhat long cranking) no leaks.
I plan to go to the lower 40 and see if I can
pull a few cut trees back to the baRN.

Fuel leak JM-180

Turns out that the fuel was being starved
because I was running out of fuel. My
gauge was showing fuel but the tank took
almost 5 gallons of disel.
I al notice that the rpm gauge sometimes
reads way off. I am assumming it may be
the instruments ground connection.

Will have to change filter later as the wife
wants to brush hog several of the fields befor
the grass gets to 30 inches.

I recently went halves on a 2 point 10-8<br>
Dearborn plow. I want to plow a little on<br>
land not plowed in 20 years. It was hayed by <br>
a neighbor last year.<br>
On setting the 3 point, do I let the plow<br>
go as deep as it wants or do I set limiters<br>
to keep it from going deep?<br>
What is the proceedure for setting the top link<br>
to level the plow, angle it up, angle it down?<br>
Should I be using my logging chains for maximum<br>
traction?<br>
What speed is best? I have 3 speed + Hi/low +<br>
crawler.<br>

Make sure you add "911" to the fuel
to make sure the desil does not gel
on you. If you still have summertime fuel
in it, it will not be thinned down with kero
for the winter.
I use a magnetic heater on the trans
occasionally to speed up the time it takes
to get the 3 point lift to work.
I have glow plugs, and the high amperage
battery so starting it seems to be ok.
For prolonged 0 degree weather I would probably
place an electric heater under the motor and
let all the heat rise under the hood. I think
for a given wattage, the electric heater
puts out more heat than the surface mount
block heaters.

Don't sweat the non EPA rating.
What it means is the government
hasent made it computer controlled
like the cars, lawnmowers, chainsaws
sold in california.
Remember when you can fix you car
yourself (before computer). That
is what epa means.

Boy this Jinma tractor is simple
and straightforward. Removed the
2 16mm bolts and installed the new
plate. The plate just mounts on the
side of the transmission with no way
for the center pin to fall in.
About a 5 minute job.. I guess you
do sometimes have to work on the
Jinma but it is not hard work.

A question on the adjustment of the
activation pin. I screwed it in to
make the plate installation easier.
The I backed it as far out untill it
engaged the cam. Is this enough
adjustment or should I have backed it
out further (bias) to make the travel
more?

My backblade is an old piece of
equipment. Got is at a farm sale for $125
a few years ago. It is heavy cast framing
with a circular hub that cannot be adjusted.
It can be rotated (difficult) but the locking
plate is welded to allow 1 or 2 avaliable
holes to line up.
If I push the blade the side angled which the
snow rolls off will bite in, no mater how I
adjust the tractor links. Raising the lift
does not help as it still bites in when the
snow loads the blade.
Pulling it with the top link loose allows
the blade to ride smooth without any major
bite in.
When the snow gets over a foot I imagine I will
have a problem.
The welded on feet pods were an attempt to stop
the bite in, but raised the blade off the
ground too much.
Maybe it is time for a new back blade.

I have a jm-180 2 wheel drive, got it last<br>
year just when the snow in NEPA was going<br>
away. I tried driving it (Ag Tires) in the<br>
snow with terrible slipping as the tires just<br>
dug into the muck.<br>
I just put a set of double ring chains <br>
(tirechains.com) on and a back blade.<br>
What a difference!!<br>
The ride on stone is a little bumpy but<br>
the tires are not slipping.<br>
I guess as we get more snow and deeper<br>
I may revise my opinion.<br>

I read your post and went right to
Napa in Hancock,NY and picked up the]
metric kit ($22 with tax).

Went in fine.

Connected the two red leads togeather and
taped all floating wires.

Oil change and 5 quarts of 10w30 and
pressure came up to 75 psi.

No leaks so far.

Now to see if I can fix the fluctuating
tach.

Sounds like replacing both the starter
and the solenoid should solve your
problem. If it is the wiring components
It would act up on the new set. You
will wind up with a spare starter anyway

I have a 180 Jinma and The engagement
operation is always difficult. You have
to get the clutch just right, and the
wheels in the right position.
I try not to force it, so as not to
damage anything.
