It appears that I'm trying to couple a 1/4″ NPT nipple (the glow plug adapter) to a 7.5 mm female coupler (the Mityvac).I have fabricated compression tester adapters before from old injectors and glow plugs. Be sure to use high pressure fittings. Mityvac uses a “mechanics” type quick coupler. You can get these at Home Depot, NAPA, auto parts stores, etc.
Does the Y485T glow plug cross-reference to the plug of another make of tractor?Mityvac lists tractors that it can adapt to, but Jinma/Yangdong are not on their list. Any advice?Chances are that one of their adapters DOES fit your engine, but Yangdong is not exactly a household name in the US. You will have to compare dimensions, or just make your own. Mityvac lists a ton of adapters separately.Account deleted.
Not the banjo bolt! The banjo bolts are fuel lines.
There is a small 6 mm bolt about halfway down on the side!
And don’t use gas, use diesel fuel.
You really need to familiarize yourself with the owners manual.Account deleted.
Hope you didn't over fill it. Only fill to the tattletale 6 mm bolt on the side.

Yes, that's true, but that only works if the tractor manufacturers and oil companies work together. Formulating additive packages for oil base stocks is not an easy task and can take years of research. So the simple rule of thumb is: Engine oil for the engine, hydraulic oil for the hydraulics, gear oil for the gears, and grease for the joints. Some later model tractors have been designed to work with the fairly recent advances in base stock compounding, and specify the use of UTF and THF oils.

Since it's a return line filter, and you don't have a suction side filter, I would stick with the 25µ filter. NAPA probably has a comparable hydraulic filter. Zinga filters are a good quality and quite popular Available at most hydraulic shops, and online through sites like Surplus Center. http://www.surpluscenter.com/s…..rds=filter

Wander no more. Wonder no more.
The book says to use multi-grade engine oil? Sure, it will work, and so will water, gasoline, diesel fuel, and hydrochloric acid. I've heard Northern make some ignorant statements before, so I'll just add that one to the list. The best oil you can use (IMHO) in it is a multi-grade hydraulic oil [AW ISO 32/46/68]. If that's not available to you, then (depending if you operate in a hot or cold climate) AW ISO 32 or AW ISO 46 hydraulic oil.

Tinbender is correct: Exhaust Gas Temperatures.
This is particularly important on turbocharged engines because too high temps can not only damage the turbo, but it will coke (cook) the engine oil (through the turbo) and cause bearing problems. Not sure what Ford specs are, but I would not exceed 1,000°F for any length of time. If you have a boost gauge I wouldn't exceed 35 psig for over two minutes. I suggest you change your engine oil and filter at the first opportunity. My 6.4 has compound turbo's too, and I keep a close eye on the boost gauge when towing.
