Leaking steering Jinma 204

[gabrielleexpress]

the 204 uses a light weight motor oil in the transmission and in the front axle, the dip stick is on the left side, the seal and felt washers are not that hard to replace, just be careful because of the weight. oil will not feed from the transmission to the front axle. some tractors may have hyd oil in place of the motor oil

Relative to Chinese tractors, this advice/info flies in the face of conventional wisdom. How/where'd you come up with it ?

Don't know if'n I'd ever want to use hydraulic oil as a working drive axle lubricant - manual transmission either...

I think I know what you're talking about now; UTF (or Universal Tractor Fluid). You're correct, that's the wrong stuff. UTF is for common sump tractors, those that use one fluid for both gears and hydraulics. Individual sump tractors (like Jinmas) take gear oil in the gear boxes, hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic sump.

I thought my seller (NORTRAC) said to use 30W oil in the tranny and all that stuff. Is that right or wrong?

That is what the manual states. The issue is in China oils are hard to come by. Running 30W will work but is not the best choice for our climate plus we have a wide variety of quality oils available to us here.

Use 15W40 in the engine. 80W90 gear oil in the tranny and front axle. Use AW32 in the hydros.

I had to replace my left axle two years ago. I did not put all the seals in correct and it leaks a little. I just keep on trucken, and have had no problems. But I will probably take it apart one of these days.

yes it is a good idea to clean then take the boot off or pull it back to see if the leek is there (steering cylinder ) and for the motor oil going up if it ever happens it will be your injector pump seal gone :thumbsup: ps the best grease cleaner i found if oven cleaner ---but you spray it on and hose it off with in 2- 3 min strong shi t my eat your gaskets if you leave it on to long
