I have an old tai shan 254 which was given to me. I have no papers and all markings on the controls are in chinese. I can't get the hydraulic lift arms for the tph to work. The pump is ok and it is running. Don't know if i'm just to stupid to figure out the controls and valves, or if I have a mechanical problem. Also, can't find any paperwork or manuals online.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks….Howard

Well, I don't want to seem like I'm being disloyal to Hal's great forum or anything, but there is a guy who posts persistently on http://tractorbynet.com/forums…..-tractors/ who, (according to him), knows pretty everything there is to know about those tractors since he once owned one. He doesn't hang out here, (fortunately), so you might try your question over there if you don't get much response here.
That said, most of these Chinese tractors are pretty similar – did you check under the front of the seat to see if there's a knob there? If so, that know adjusts the TPH flow rate. When screwed all the way in, the flow is diverted to the rear half-remote and the TPH is inoperable. It needs to be opened a bit to allow the TPH to work and the degree to which it is opened controls the speed with which the TPH arms drop back down. If that know isn't there or doesn't help[, then I've exceeded my pay grade and can't suggest anything else.

Maybe of some use…. maybe not!
This comes from when I was in Korea and wanted to find out what switches/controls written in Korean said. I used Google in the “translation” app. First I would try to guess what the purpose was. I.E., “on/off”, “up/down”, “auxillary”, “pto”, etc. I'd type in what I thought it might/could/should be. Then I would compare the “Hangul”(written Korean Language) in the other block and see if it matched. It's a trial and error process. Kind of like working a jig-saw puzzle. Through this I was able to “learn” what the controls and directions basically meant. Basically Korean and Chinese are similar.
It worked for me (much to my surprise). Others thought I was damned smart because I supposedly could read Korean. I never told them otherwise. Good thing they never asked me to read street signs.

I'm supposed to choose and be in one of the 2 parties. And NEITHER is worth a damn! -
