yeah I saw Bob was watching this and I wanted his thoughts , I wonder about the Jinma , the brakes on my foton wet brakes and dong feng dry band brakes both are pretty good. Do the brakes help with turning tight turns if you unlock the pedals in two wheel drive? Some do not know you pretty much defeat using the brakes in turning in front wheel drive assist (4 wheel drive) mode.
ok , I am placing a shut off valve at the tank and adding a glass sediment bowl with a internal screen at the manual lift pump and will leave the screen in the banjo, and yes there is a spin on in place.
Bob my dong feng 204a does not have a glass sediment filter on it but has a fuel tank screen and a screen in the banjo fitting at the manual pump . I am thinking of getting rid of both of those and adding a sediment filter with a screen so I have a visual reference, you see anything wrong with that idea? Oddly the tank screen is finer than the one in the banjo fitting and has plugged up in the recent past.
when you blew out the radiator did you blow from the backside to the front side? Sometimes I wash mine with water let it sit to soften the grit wash it again and then blow it out with air . I have never used it but I have seen a additive that you put in the cooling system that is SUPPOSED to improve the ability of the coolant to exchange heat, maybe BOB can give you a name and a idea if it works. By the way a rotary cutter aka bush hog takes less power to run than a finishing mower. Yes a bush hog will cut higher grass but there is a lot of mass when you get it spinning, inertia works. The reason I went down this road I did not want you to change mowers and think the tractor would be under less load so less heat. And the battery thing I went to a lower profile battery when the old one puked that seems to let more air in, just make sure you get a battery with enough amps to do the job.
is the mower you are using a rotary cutter and how big is it? and I would think low second is kinda on the slow side . I can cut with my dong feng le204a all day with a 4 ft. ruff cut cutter in low four or my 5 ft. finishing mower in the same gear and the temp hangs at 180 deg. F
if you do pull the cover I would suggest that you line up all the timing marks and document before you remove anything gear or shaft wise as a just in case.
Have you determined what caused the spindle to fail? was the pump deadheaded? Like tinbender I have not been in there so can not help you much. So I was thinking about not tearing up the new part.
