Topic

Unfortunately Chinese tractor manufacturers are quite poor at keeping their manuals current with changes they make to the machinery. This is likely an issue you'll have to work out with the service department at a Foton dealership.

I am unclear as to what you're calling a "one-way valve" though. Where specifically is this located, and what (do you think) is its function?

My 3720 has a psuedo water separator in addition to the fuel filter. I don't get as cold here as Vermont, but it's never yet gelled. That said, I don't know the fuel path in the 5083. Does it by chance have both as well? If yes, you may have an issue with your separator.<br>

I believe you're looking too low. That cover is likely over the aux PTO, which is part of the rear differential housing. The hydraulic sump sits above the diff housing, and provides a platform for the operator seat. Again, look for a single hex head bolt that doesn't seem to fit the rest of the bolt pattern.

And I agree, the Chinglish in the manuals is challenging at best. For most maintenance and repair issues, I typically got more use out of the exploded diagrams in the parts manuals. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words (especially if they're Chinglish).

Ok. First, it doesn't use "gas" - and don't even think about adding any to the tank. It takes #2 diesel fuel. Next, the tractor data plate is typically located either inside one of the rear fenders (facing the seat) or the side of the transmission housing. The engine data plate is typically either on the valve cover or on the side of the block.

The procedure to get a diesel engine bled and primed has been discussed in detail many times here. If you don't have success with search terms "bleed" and "prime", I'll point you to a few specific threads.

When combined with your other post, it sounds like you bought a used tractor despite the fact it had these problems. A 1997 JD1070 will likely be a hydrostat machine, so the "gear" issue you describe is most likely the range select lever. Should be a High and a Low at minimum, perhaps a Mid in between. It's not a shift-on-the-fly mechanism, the tractor has to be completely stopped when first attempting the shift between ranges. Helps to have a foot on the brakes as well.

As I stated in the other post, more info is needed regarding the rear lift arms.

Not enough info. Did it just start doing this? or was it that way when you bought it? Have you turned the knob that's in front of and below the operator seat?

Concur. Missed the word "power" in your opening post, sorry 'bout that. <br>
<br>
This is not a common sump machine where the same fluid is shared by both gears trains and hydraulics. Gear goes into the fill hole on the transmission, which subsequently flow rearward to the differential and forward to the mid-connect (shuttle or creeper) box. Gear oil is also used in the front differential. <br>
<br>
But the hydraulics (lift and steering) require proper hydraulic fluid, which is contained in a sump directly beneath the operator seat. Push the seat all the way forward on the rails, you'll see the fill point in the top rear. Unscrew dipstick, wipe, reinsert - but don't screw it back in. Just set it in the hole, then pull it out to check the level. When clean, it's hard to see, so you might want to lay it on a clean cloth or paper towel. The oil transfer will show you how much is on the dipstick. The dipsticks with two lines are self-explanatory. If you have one with a single line, consider that the full mark. On mine I never added fluid unless/until my (one line) dipstick came out dry.<br>

Could be less serious than that. There are inline sediment screens, lots of them. They get clogged, causing low pressure fuel starvation. First one is in the tank, directly above the sediment bowl. Second and sometimes third one is/are in the fuel bowl assembly. Then each rubber fuel line has at least one inside the banjo fitting(s). <br>

Or, the black stuff might be creosote - which is a good thing. Nothing suggested so far is incorrect. But before proceeding into those areas I'd first stop ground water from coming in in the first place. Usual solution is to backfill the perimeter where the outside walls meet the ground. Force the water to go anywhere BUT under the walls. Perforated drainage tubes can stop it at the door(s)

On some models with a single rear remote, that flow control valve doubles as a diverter valve. If you have a fitting that comes out of the left side of the sump and makes a 90 degree turn rearward, that's for a single remote. Its primary function is for dump trailers; hence a single line. Pump pressure lifts the trailer bed, gravity lowers the bed and at the same time pushes the fluid back to the sump through the same pipe. Others have a separate diverter; a hex head control valve on the left side of the sump. Sounds like yours may be the former. And you can one or the other, but not both at the same time. Turn it one way and you have variable flow control, turn it the other way and all flow is diverted from to the remote. <br>

An out-of-adjustment decompression rockshaft may do one of two things;<br>
(a) not contact the valve stems at all (it only needs to unseat one valve to achieve decompression)<br>
(b) stick in a vertical or near-vertical position on even one valve stem (causing at least one valve to remain unseated)<br>
When this happens, it's possible that he control lever below the steering wheel rotate/return normally - giving the operator the impression that the decompression system is performing normally as well. <br>
<br>
But as long as you've confirmed it returns to the horizontal under it's own spring tension, a decompression rockshaft issue becomes moot.<br>
<br>
Back to something else that's inconsistent. You reopened this topic stating that it would hardly turn over, but not long after said it's turning quite rapidly. What happened in between?<br>

"Clutch-on-splines" won't work with this machine. The nested splines come forward out of the mid-connect housing. Whereas a clutch alignment tool is handy, I didn't find it necessary. The PTO spline can be seated by turning the rear PTO stub by hand, the drive spline can be seated by turning the crank pulley by hand.<br>
<br>
I prefer to make adjustments to a new clutchpack on the bench. Besides being more accurate than doing it on the flywheel, the bench method much easier on the back. That way you simply install the new pilot bearing, and bolt the already-adjusted clutchpack to the flywheel. The important thing with the bench method is to bolt the clutchpack to a piece of 3/4" plywood before making any adjustments. That way you replicate the spring pressures present during the flywheel method. <br>

I've had good luck getting Foton parts from http://www.discounttractorsales.com/contact.php . You can get the tractor and engine manuals from them as well. Before calling, copy down all the info on both the engine data plate and the tractor data plate.

Not to say they don't exist, but I've never personally seen manual steering parts as such. The Chinese tractor dealers typically sell the whole assembly. But assuming you can still read the number on the side - the bearing shouldn't be a problem. The collar might be a bit more difficult though. That said, the first person I'd ask is the counter man at the bearing supply store.
