jinma 354

Just wondering what my alternator should be putting out for voltage. I get 12.24 volts at 1500 rpm which seems low. My battery always seems to have trouble turning the motor over. The battery is new. Maybe the alternator or regulator are shot? Any troubleshooting guides for this? I did take...

Does anyone know the size of the fuel supply sealing washers for the Jinma 354? The parts diagram doesn’t list any size. Mine has slight leaks on pipe no. 13 on the diagram.

While waiting for my brake parts to arrive I thought I should replace my front driveshaft boot which was quite rotted. I’ve removed the rear 13mm and front 10mm bolts which hold the driveshaft covers on but that doesn’t seem to give you any access to removing the two covers. So what are the next...

Seems like every time I get off my Jinma 354 I accidentally hit one of the power switches. This can also occur when I use the cover…I also blame my cat for hitting them or maybe it’s the squirrels. Since I just wanted something basic I used a Ford Escape brake pad spring clip and bent it to go...

Ok, second post for the other brake unit. I thought this would go slick as I now knew what to look for. Removed the cover plate expecting the same condition as the other side but no it was a disaster. The inside looked completely filled up with crud. This was oily with maybe dirt and rust bits...

My 2005 354 brakes were always sketchy. You really had to step on them to get any response even after adjustment. Given the hilly nature where I live I decided they needed attention. The first issue was access to the side covers. This required removing the fenders and rops. No issues here just...

Hi all, Along with my various deferred maintenance projects for my Jinma 354 I’ll have to swap out the transmission fluid (while I'm doing a brake job) and I’ll give the hydraulics one more flush as I had to open the three point lift mechanism. Is gear oil 80/90 gl-5 ok to use? I should mention...

Well it’s time for that first engine oil change for my Jinma 354 with the three cylinder engine so I’m looking for any tips for the procedure/oil and parts. I’m thinking starting her up and running to temperature and draining the oil oil as per usual. Replace the oil filter, check drain plug...

My Jinma 2007 354 has run reliably and strongly for years now, and I just used it about ten days ago to clean up our dirt road after a rainstorm. Today it turned over perfectly but there was absolutely no ignition. Upon further inspection, I noticed that when the engine was turning over (but...

So..I bought this older Jinma 354 that has twin headlights and a three cylinder diesel. I’ve looked for a manual for this guy but haven’t had much success but have some newer versions. My questions are: what the knob under the seat does? What the floor right hand side rearward pedal does? This...

My hydraulics work fine but are not enough, looks like I have a 14cc pump, the Backhoe has no real power , the FEL is fine but slow, but the the final straw is the Auger I needed a minimum of 15 and ideally 45 LPM to run it ,it’s never gonna run the auger , coupled with the orfs fittings. And...

Does the rear taillight lens come (pry) off from the outside, or do I need to remove the entire taillight assembly to replace a bulb? I looked for external lens pry points but did not see any. thanks greg

I have a 2007 Jinma 354 and the left front axle is leaking oil. This seems to be a common problem online with the 200 series Jinma but my tractor looks different and I haven't found anything about it. I've never been afraid just to tear into it, but I like to have the parts on hand or at least...

I have 354e and the tractor ran away with me thought it was going to blow up but did not find came down. I replaced all top end gaskets last winter. Now I have low range speed good power but high range will run 2nd grea but 3rd starts to bog down and dies in 4th. New filters. Have not...

Hello All, I obtained a 2003 Jinma 354 with a home purchase in 2014. Machine had about 300hrs on it it now stands at 401hrs. It has run very well while I have owned it. Clearly it sits dormant for most of its life...

Hi, I think that after having my machine apart for over 2 years, I have misplaced the proper connection of the steering hoses. I have one hydraulic pump. The steering box has two ports facing out the right side and two ports facing left. The left ones go to the steering cylinder. The two...

Hi all. Hoping for some insight. I was running my PTO driven bush hog and the lever that changes from 540 - N - 1000 got stuck. I fiddled clutch in, clutch out and it started working again. Now I cannot get it to stop spinning in 540. Lever moves in the proper 3 option but it is always running...

I have a Jinma 354 with the 4 cylinder motor, FEL and power steering 9both off the same pump). My Son was using it an allowed the Hydraulic fluid to get too low and the power steering quit. The FEL was very jumpy. We re filled the reservoir beneath the seat and the FEL works flawlessly now but...

Hi all. Bought a used Jinma 354 4wd. Seems to be leaking hydraulic fluid from the rear tank behind the seat. Checked the levels and it seems a bit high. Could that be it ? I will post pictures as soon as I get to my laptop.

Hi all. Hoping for some insight. I was running my PTO driven bush hog and the lever that changes from 540 - N - 1000 got stuck. I fiddled clutch in clutch out and it started working again. Now I cannot get it to stop spinning in 540. Lever moves in the proper 3 option but it is always...

It has been 2 years since this machine broke as discussed in a previous thread : Jinma 354 white smoke no power won't rev past 800rpm Recap: Cam thrust plate bolt came out and went through the timing gears, busting case and hydraulic driver. Repaired but did not change cam bearings. Decided...

Just replaced head gasket and started ran on 1 and 3 cylenders bled fuel lines all getting fuel all three new injectors had some light white smoke or mist comming from oil fill cap. New oil and filter very slow to rev up.

Just purchased my first tractor a 2005 Shire 354 (basically a Jinma 354) running a TY395I engine. Its been pretty much neglected over the last 10 years and I am not sure when it was last serviced. So the plan is to basically change a load of filters (air, oil, fuel, hydraulic lift) replace the...

Has anyone ever seen, have pictures or diagram, or know anyone who has built a subframe to connect a backhoe attachment to a Jinma 354? I purchased a used John Deere 740 backhoe attachment that is designed for subframe mount. I thought of adapting it to 3 point but it weighs 1450lbs and after...

Jinma 354. 4 cylinder. 350 hours. Ran for about an hour and all was smooth and normal. Running 1400rpm at normal temperature. I was working the hoe so had back to engine when noticed sudden lack of hydraulic power as engine sound changed. Turned around to see white smoke and revs dropped to...

Jinma 354 with one hydraulic pump system. After several go-arounds with replacing the hydraulic pump and installing a pressure relief bypass into the system, I have no power steering. Observations with front wheels off the ground: It takes 4 full turns of the steering wheel to move wheels...

About 2 years ago I put in a new E320 pump in my 2006 354. Worked great - big difference. Last fall, I put my backhoe on for the first time in a couple of years. Tried pushing a 2'X2'X1' concrete block away from the tractor with the dipper motion. Instant shower of oil all over everything as...

I have a Jinma 354 whose PTO driving shaft stopped spinning. The engagement level (down by right foot) no longer had any resistance to lifting it and no longer fully engaged the primary (driving) shaft. Removing the hydraulic box above the rear of the transmission area revealed two potential...

I changed the hydraulic fluid and filter on my 354; now the 3pt bounces. The arms drop a few inches and the bounce back up to their set position. Any ideas for a fix? Your insight and experience are greatly appreciated. JohnJ

I need to replace the rt. rear outer axle bearing. Do any of you folks have advice on pulling the axle? It looks like one would use a slide hammer. Is there any trick on getting the axle out? Thank you for any help

Hello, I just gave a offer on a 2006 JM 354 tractor with 3 attachments. The old boy that owns the machine has some memory problems and can't remember what make the thing work (how to engage the PTO, make the 3 point hitch lower, etc.). The box scraper is all the way up and wont lower. He has no...

My Jinma will not start. I've got voltage from the battery, thru the ignition switch and clutch switch. Gauges work when key is in on position, but when I turn the key to start, I get nothing, no clicks, nothing. Last time this happened I changed the starter solenoid and it cranked right up...

Hello out there. I am sending out a request for help in connecting a backhoe to a Jinma 354 Tractor. We live in Arizona and traded for the tractor, backhoe, front end loader. The person who had this tractor was going to be a dealer, but found out it was to much work so he traded the tractor...

I borrowed the tractor from a friend a few weeks ago, tractor is in good shape 190 hrs on it, used it to move some dirt into garden, tractor had been hardly used at his house for last 3 years. The tractor preformed fine for 2 hrs and job was complete. Upon using it next I loaded dirt into front...

I am experiencing a problem with 3pth not lifting. This is the second time it has happened and want to focus on what I believe is the common cause. Last summer I drove over a pile of top soil to rip the sod layer off it with a box blade. As I drove down the steep slope, the box blade hung up...

I seem to continually blow hydraulic fluid out the fill vent under the operators seat, and have to regularly top off hydraulic fluid. Is this normal? I replaced the fill vent with a new one, to no avail.

Suddenly 1. Gear and Rear gear on my Jinma 354 stopped working. No problems with other gears. Can anybody help? Finn

Hi all, I've spent far too much time pulling wrenches lately and I'm not sure I'm getting any closer. After changing timing gear case and pump driver I decided to do the recommended head retorque and valve lash adjustment. Never done it and machine has maybe 300 hours on it (guessing as the...

After much procrastination, I finally tackled the repair of the broken timing gear case. Thanks to those who responded with helpful advice. One must tear a lot of things apart to do this repair! I was afraid of getting the timing out of whack so took lots of photos as I tore things apart. I...

A few weeks ago I posted about problems with my Jinma 354 with 485 engine. I had partially disassembled it and ordered parts. Got parts and tried to remove the old timing case. I have removed radiator, hydraulic pump, injection pump, and many other assorted parts to get room to work. It...

I was pushing dirt with the bucket when I thought I heard a metallic click and the motor pitch changed slightly. I idled down and tried to determine if the motor was in fact knocking slightly. Then I noticed oil pouring out the front right side. Shut it down and saw that the timing gear case...

I have a Jinma 354 and want to attach a hydraulic log splitter that needs a hydraulic pump delivering minimum 11 gallons per minute to operate. There are no specs for hydraulic pump output in the manual and I wonder if anybody could provide this information.

I have a jinma 354 2007 I believe. I went to start it today to get a car unstuck from my driveway. Turned the key, all the usual lights lighted up, voltmeter showing 12 volts. Turned the key to heat waited 10 seconds then to start cranked for a few seconds then everything went dead. Turned...

I have a jinma 354 2007 I believe. Trying to catch up on deferred maintenance from the prior owner. can some advise as to the proceedure for draining and refilling the hydraulic system? I have a new filter and 5 gallons of fluid, just need someone to walk me through it... thanks!

I have a Jinma 354 2007? It has very few hours on it, 30? Now that cooler weather has arrived it has become very difficult to get it started. I had an a-ha moment reading some other threads yesterday not realizing that holding the key in the "H' postion would activate the glow plugs and in...

My Jinma 354 has survived 6 Alberta winters outside with infrequent use. I have never charged the battery and although it is a bear to start in -25C it has always cranked long enough to fire. The charge light was intermittant for the first few years. I tensioned the belt and checked all...

I have a 6 year old Jinma 354 with Koyker 160 FEL. Outfit has maybe 200 hours on it (cant tell as the hour clock has never turned a second since brand new). I have only used it maybe 4 hours in the last 9 months. Fired it up last week and found two hoses on FEL sun cracked and leaking...

I was trying to replace the fuel filter on my recently aquired jinma 354. I cannot get it to budge. The mount the spin on housing is attached to is bending. I suspect it is rusted on there as the tractor has been sitting outside with little use for 6 years. Any ideas on how to get it off...

Hello! I just bought a 2006 Jinma 354 with only 30 hours on it. My question relates to the differential lock. There is a small foot pedal to the right of the drivers seat and I cannot tell if it is engaged or disengaged. The pedal has very little upward travel-perhaps an inch? I can't seem...

I apologize for the double post in the Parts/Repair forum: My Jinma 354 has always had a slight knock in the rear end. However, lately its been getting really loud. I can't tell if it's drive train or PTO. The knocking speeds up with the trottle and it is there regardless of whether the PTO is...

I've moved this post to the Chineese Tractor forum: My Jinma 354 has always had a slight knock in the rear end. However, lately its been getting really loud. I can't tell if it's drive train or PTO. The knocking speeds up with the trottle and it is there regardless of whether the PTO is...

My Jinma 354 tractor has a broken shifting fork for gears 1&2. I have taken the top of the gear box off and found the broken part. It looks like the transmission and the clutch housing needs to be separated to get the part installed on the shaft. Is this correct or is there an other way to...

Does anyone know whether there is an aftermarket control unit for the rear 3 point hydraulics for a Jinma 354.

Has anyone replaced gears in Jinma 354 transmission? I've got it broke down to everything but the "Drive Gear Box Main Shaft". Primary is out, but have teeth missing on 2nd gear on Main Shaft. I believe the shaft comes out the rear... Do I need to tear entire rear end down to get that shaft...

Hope someone can help!!!! I have a 2005 Jinma 354, 2nd and 3rd gears are missing teeth. I have the primary main shaft out, but cant get the shaft for PTO drive that is inside it out. I've looked at parts diagram and it appears there are some clips but I surely cant see any. Has anyone replace...

Hello everybody!!!!

I'm the proud new owner of a 2003 Jinma 354 and have a few questions after reading through the manual. The manual says that first and second gear can't be used for plowing or pulling heavy loads, otherwise it will damage the transmission. Is this really accurate? My tractor work is mostly going...

Has anyone out there replaced a driven gear in a 354LE. A bad shift fork weld broke and took 2 teeth off my 2nd driven gear (on main shaft). I split the tractor between the intermediate axle and drive gearbox, but can't figure out how to remove the shaft and gear. I'm anxious to get this back...

All, I have a question about the hydraulics on a Jinma 354. My father just bought one of these. I have a Jinma 184, but dad's is a bit different with respect to the configuration of the three point hitch. Unfortunately, we don't have any manuals... So I am hoping for a bit of information...

We are looking at a 2006 Jinma 354 with about 200 hours from an original owner. Doing a title search under Jinma I was a bit blown away by how many threads were from owners with hydraulic problems, 3 point hitch problems, and other problems. Most of them were 200 series but perhaps that is just...

I have a pile of dirt to move and the neighbor offered, so I took him up on it. I borrowed his Jinma 354. Nice tractor by the way, and strong as death. When I picked it up I noticed a whining sound that reminded me of a throw out bearing, but it went away as far as I could tell as soon as I went...

I have 8 tractors here .. 1950 Austin Western Super 88-H the oldest .. the Jinma was my first New one .. 2007. It IS .. a freaking Mule .. can pull a 6' box-blade up 15% grade .. spilling over. About six months ago .. I was just doing some really anemic grading here on Cahto Peak Road ... and...

I bought a 2007 Jinma 354 with 160 hrs on it a few weeks ago. I brush hogged with it the other day and have a question. When the operating temperature got close to 100 degrees C, I would let it idle and rest a few minutes (very tall weeds). While it was idling, until the temp dropped back around...

I was trying to pull something with the front end loader bucket by putting a chain around it and working the bucket up and down. All of the sudden all the hydraulics quit working and the engine starts to pull down. Not sure what was going on I shut the tractor off. Noticing the pump was very...

I had my 2-bottom plow on and lifted it up. It didn't stop and now the top link is vertical plow won't come down. Adjusting the "fall control" knob doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get out of this predicament? Thanks!

Just a heads up guys (and gals). This, is on an '07 Jinma 354 4 cylinder (California) .. but may also apply to the 3 cylinder "LE" version. Upon diagnosing my options for a stuck clutch scenario, I found that the nicely finished little handle, 540-off-720, was installed .. 180* from what it...

Does anyone have any ideas on why it won't spin? Was just doing a little finish mowing when the pto stopped spinning. No noise nothing? Seems as though the clutch is ok because if I try to engage the pto without the clutch it grinds and if I clutch it slides in gear but does'nt spin. Is there a...

My backhoe is sick * at first my boom was raising realy slow and did not raise at all with a load when it was hot. also notice that the other cylinder where week * i changed the hydro oil because it add some water in it and i brought my boom cylinder to a mecanic to check and change the seal.. *...

The backhoe on my 354 developed an odd problem suddenly the other day. As I was taking the last "bite" of digging a very long ditch the boom would raise very slow and actually I have to help it to get it all the way up. Plenty of power in the down motion, just the up. I switched the hydraulic...

Hi there folks, I'm thinking about buying one of the above mentioned tractors and was hoping that those familiar with them could shed some light and some opinions on it. I know it is from 1979-1981, 45 HP, 4WD. The one I'm looking at has just over 2000 hours and will put a FEL loader on it...

Hi -- I have a 2007 Jinma 354 that is about ten months old. It has the newer style lift box with only one lever, and the owner's manual I got with it is for the older style two-lever lift box. Right now, the arms don't start to move until the lever is about half way up. Is there an...

I have a year old Jinma 354 with the new EPA 4 cylindar engine. My reverse gears lost some teeth and upon inspection I found the culprit was a 14mm bolt about 1.5 inches long which apparently had been dropped in during assembly (it was very mangled) and had finally found its ways through the...

Got home from a 2 week out of town trip and there is a big puddle of diesel fuel under my 354. It's coming from the sediment bowl but the glass seems tight and not cracked. Any ideas? I didn't have time tonight to look carefully tonight and was hoping someone knew the fix. Plus.... I feel kinda...

The front axle shafts on the Jinma 354 have circlips on the splines. The clip on one end of the shaft exposes more spline than the clip on the other. The splines in the transfer case gear are recessed while those on the wheel end are not so it seemed logical and I assumed the longer spline...

I need a couple of volunteers with a Jinma354 with a 2 STAGE clutch and a digital camera willing to take the top off their transmission, or remove the four bolt reverse gear inspection plate on the left side of the transmission, take a couple of pictures and e-mail them to me. This is needed...

Hi, I find it very difficult to make a decision between the Jinma 354 and the Foton 354. It seems that the parts are easier to get and more readily available for the Jinma 354 - but I sure would like the meshed gears and the planetary final drive of the Foton as well as the 2 remotes. Which one...

Need help how do you hook up to aux hydraulics can you still use three point at same time

I've been looking for a 35hp tractor for an 11 acre farm I've just bought in BC, Canada and got quotes from three dealers. Kubota came in at $38k CAN, John Deere $46k CAN and Jinma $21k CAN. The price difference is huge and will pretty much pay for all the other kit I need but I'm just a little...

Hey Guys: Has anyone used a roto tiller on the back of a 354? Before I order a 354 I want to make sure it goes slow enough to till with, any input? Thanks Jim

I am considering these two tractors. The Jinma 354 is a crate w/ FEL and BH for $12500 delivered. The Kama has the FEL for $12k and is put together, also delivered. But will have to purchase a BH seperately. I will be using it for moving dirt around my two one acre lots. mostly. camman12

I am waiting on my Jinma 354 LE. In the mean time I have been gathering up parts for a Hydraulic top link and a Hydraulic vertical Lift arm link. I am all set for the top link. My Questions are related only to specifics of the adjustable Vertical connecting link for the 3 point hitch for the...

Jinma 354 backhoe won\'t extend The lower arm will not extend. I took the hoses off and I can move it manually. When I turn the pto on the hydrolic cylinder fills but will not move. Is there a problem with my vavle. I welcome any ideas on how to find and fix the problem.

anybody have information on the 354 engine?

Jinma 354 Fluid Capacity\'s Anyone know fluid capacity's on oil, gearboxes, radiator, etc. The manual furnished is really bare bones to say the least. Thank's for any info, Smitty

Just bought tractor with 140 hrs. and I have hyd. oil coming out the vent at the top of the rear hyd. behind seat. Any ideas???? I'm baffled. I also have a leak on the front axle at the outer knuckle. Maybe a seal? hope that's all it is. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Smitty
