I have two chinese tractors a 2006 foton ft504a and a 2005 le204a dong feng, those are both metal. yours could be different , I think the farmpro is a jinma.
I was just thinking it might be a good idea to pour the old fuel into a jar just to see the condition of the fuel tank as if it is rusty it will end up in the filter. let it sit for a min. and look to see if it has any water also.
this is apples and oranges but I can confirm engines and oil likes and dislikes ,the wifes 2006 chevy hhr with a 2.2 liter if I put synthetic oil in it , it will burn a qt. in about 2500 miles if I use conventional oil the oil consumption is zero. since it does not leak a drip synthetic it has to be getting by the rings or valve seals and being burnt, wierd. although I have heard if you have a oil leak synthetic oil will make it leak more cause it has more lubricity.
with only 70 hours it might not be broke in. hahahahaha You will get more smoke possibly bluish until the engine comes up to operating temps. I would check all your fluids including if yours has a oil reservoir in the injector pump. (that one gets forgot alot) make sure the crankcase does not have to much oil in it. some of these engines are kinda funky about how their dipsticks are read , mine you have to pull the dipstick wipe it off and reinsert it and then read it. and yes white smoke is coolant ,black is over fueling and blue oil. I think you need to retorque the head and set the valves before you forget and possibly have a issue.
my only suggestion about the filters if you can find any numbers on them is to try to cross them over with a net search. Other wise thread measurements and sealing mating areas matched old school style. When I bought my chinese tractor I went to napa and they helped me out, but things since then almost 20 years napa is not the same parts store. unfortunately. good luck
I looked a picture on the net and kinda saw what you are talking about. I have 2 chinese tractors ,nether is a jinma and they are not built like this. My suggestion is to call affordable tractor @ 979-865-4002 I think they are on central time. good luck
yes things in china are hit and miss as far as are all the parts in there, I bought a mower for my skid steer , it is a great bear brand , it was sold as having a problem so I got it cheap. so I powered it up and there was quite a grinding noise , it is full of oil . I removed the gear case and opened it up the drive gears bearly touched , so I bought a new gear case , which is a good one, still came out good price wise. but the original gear case should have never been let out of the factory and they would not eat the defect , I had to pay for it although they did give me free 3 day shipping from china.
Do you feel you were able to get it good enough gear engagement or are you going to try to find a center gear case?
