General Maintenance Schedule Jinma 204/254

ToolManRick · Oct 12, 2004

For those interested in something better than what I had for a quick reference I've worked up an Excel sheet and a .pdf file containing a Maintenance Schedule for the 204/254 class tractors.

Much of what is suggested here is from my NorTrac manual. My intention is not to disclose any copyrighted information, but to clean up and organize pre-existing information. As with anything... nothing is set in stone and open to discussion.

The Excel sheet version for those with Excel that may wish to edit or add to it. Enjoy!

Without looking at your schedual,I think I can give this advice,,you can go a little longer than it says to torque head bolts and adjust valves,did mine at about 150 hrs or so[forget],but they were very close and head bolts didn't budge,,I would say now, that at about 300 hrs would be a good time,unless you noticed something. I think the book says after 100 hrs. And I would change/clean/check that hydro screen as soon as possible,mine and others have had holes in the wire mesh,,that would be a good time to drain hydro oil and put new aw32 in it. And,,,don't put to much grease in those two fittings back on rear axil housing,,might bust a seal,,,but it will take a lot before that happens,reason I know this,is when I first greased mine,pumping grease till it ozzed out of every where else,came to those two back ones,and without thinking[as usual],started pumping,hell,I probably got over 1/2 a tube in each side,,finally figured it out,no leaks so far. thingy
