that would be good to see for a reference, all I have is a parts book,for a simulairish tractor.
I have had good luck with adding a older style ford starter relay, and taking the load off the key switch that is wired on the small size gauge wise. there was a guy here a few months ago that did the conversion with good results. search the site here to see the details of it or if you are interested I can go over the method again. It is pretty easy to do.
you will need to bleed it in two places , it should gravity bleed to the inlet of the injector pump ,but can be speed up by using the manual screw down knob on the lift pump helping it along, then at each injector on the cylinder head. if you have a decompression release use it and it will turn over faster and with less load on the battery. be carefull of the high pressure spray.
the napa 3195 is a very popular filter for use in many machines of all kinds of makes and appiclations.
check your fuel system( filters and amount of flow from tank) and look at fuel quality ( no water) it might be a good idea to get a glass jar and pull off a sample and let it sit for a min. and look at it to see if there is water in it. If your injection pump does not use engine oil pressure to lube it now would be a good time to check its oil level and oil quality. also if you have some rubber fuel lines make sure there is no cracks to let air into the fuel system.
I would put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on the machine to verify the tractor electric gauge are correct. I think ranch hand tractor parts in texas might be able to help you out with the head gasket. If not a web search you should be able to find one.
I have had them break also just as you described, the tractor guy in town gave me some that are used on a ford tractor, do not remember which model . It has been years and have not had a issue since. So just shop around and I think you can find a better than factory replacement spring.
I do not have a jinma, but both of my other china tractors (dong feng and foton) have filter screen housing under the floor boards remember to open up those if your has one, I would think that they will be the lowest point for the hydro system so fluid should drain well from there. then again if your has one. If I remember right the jinma uses a common sump for trans. , power steering and hydros?
