- 1960 Case 430, 1947 Ford 8N, 1942 Ford 9N [not running], 5252 Cub Cadet to cut the lawn, John deere 140 , Sears SS12, Crafsman 5000GT, and a Gravley 816 which may be the most rugged tractor that I have ever seen.
My neighbor asked me a question about his Jinma? tractor. Since I am a car mechanic, he thought I may know the answer. He states that when the tractor is running and the key switch is on the 'ON' position he cannot shift the transmission into any gear [like there is no clutch]. But if he turns the key to 'OFF' and continues to keep the engine running, then he can shift as it should. We could not confirm as the battery was dead and would not crank the engine. Is there any sort of clutch cut-out that may be electricaly operated? This problem happened after the nephew returned the tractor. My guess was that there may be some sort of lever combination that maybe incorrect like the pto levers etc. Any thoughts? Thanks
