I thank both you and 5030 for your inputs. There's no doubt you both have help many people in the past with their problems. But, and I'd think you'd agree with me, the term "one size fits all" does not apply to all instances where the same problem exists. Per 5030's suggestion to mount the...

I've been looking around to see if there's a Racor type fuel filter that would fit the OEM spin on mount on my Jinma 284. I found one that might work BUT it has M18 x 1.50 threads on the mounting port and the OEM thread on the tractor is M16 x 1.50. If the pipe nipple on the OEM mount is...

Thanks for your input. This seems like the simplest and least expensive way to accomplish what I want to do BUT probably doesn't protect the fuel system as well as some of the other suggestions here. No more than I use my tractor it would probably suffice. But I'm the kind of guy who would...

I appreciate your input and I haven't disregarded it. Just haven't decided exactly what to do yet.

Check my last response to piper184 for my explanation of the term "fuel gate".

I thought for sure I read the term "fuel gate" somewhere on TractorByNet. If not then I'll own it. What I'm referring to is the mechanism that shuts off the fuel when you pull the control knob. The cover plate I'm referring to is located just above the fuel primer and mounts with four machine...

I only buy 5 gal. of diesel at a time so I don't have to worry about storage tanks. It's kind of a crap shoot knowing how much Bio Kleen to use for just 5 gal. so maybe I've been a little stingy with it. Each time the tractor quits on me I remove the cover plate off the fuel gate and clean out...

I'M POOPED!!! The family SUV needed a brake job so no "tractor time" today. I did take a couple of pictures of the tank and sediment bowl positions but truthfully I don't want to mess with downloading them from my phone to the computer tonight. After looking at the pictures you posted and...

I've been using Power Service Bio Kleen everytime I've added fuel since my initial problem. There's no way of cleaning the tank without removing it, which would be a REAL nightmare, and then cutting it in two. I might as well purchase a new tank if I do that. This is why I thought of changing...

Thanks for your reply. Wonder if the set up is the same on the 2006 model as the 2005 model? I broke the bowl on mine and couldn't find anything with the right thread to fit the tank so had to purchase a complete unit from a Jinma supplier. Do you remember the part number for the Ranch Hand...

Well unfortunately I'm still fighting the "bio bug" so I figured I'd clean the inside of the tank as best I could. As you well know, vacuuming the tank doesn't do SQUAT to kill the "bug". The engineering on the fuel tank serves its purpose BUT it is NOT user friendly if you need to remove it...

I'm tired of screwing around emptying the sediment bowl on my 2005 Jinma 284 after trying to clean the inside of the fuel tank. Still getting rust and paint granuals showing up in the bottom of the bowl and probably will for sometime since the fuel tank is IMPOSSIBLE to remove without "digging...

Have you found your problem yet? If you have a pre 2006, 284 the hydraulic filter is located in the sump under the seat. Just remove the (3) bolts that connects the "suction out" fitting to the sump. The OEM filter is not engineered very good. I replaced my filter with a Massey Ferguson...

Unfortunately no. I thought about taking pictures but truthfully I was so excited about finding the filter, how easy it was to modify and install I forgot to take any.

I've found a low cost hydraulic filter that fits ALMOST perfectly in my Jinma 284 tractor. The part number is 1687042M91. It's made to fit numerous Massey Fergusons. Supposedly there are at least two filters that show up using this number so be sure to purchase the one that is 3 1/2 in. tall...
