If I recall correctly, there are O-rings under those washers and they crap out, making the joint leak. The best fix I've found is to replace the O-rings with new ones (metric) and also add a bonded seal washer. I get the bonded washers from Ronald at Ranch Hand Supply. No leaks after that.
As I understand it, to make the rear remotes function you have to close the drop control valve under the front of the seat. The TPH then stays up and the remotes are active. That may not be what you want so you'd have to either go with the Power Beyond or tee into the line returning to the sump from the FEL valve or somewhere else.
Hopefully, someone else will have a better solution.
The Ford cold-start tractor switch will do the job for you, I think. Might have to use a multimeter to suss out the exact wiring, but shouldn't be too difficult. Here's one source:

If your FEL control valve has a Power Beyond Port you simply plumb your supply to the grapple off of that, as I understand it. Your valve would have to have both the Power Beyond capability and have the Power Beyond adapter installed in the port. Without a power beyond port you'd need to get your hydraulic supply elsewhere.
Spring Valley brings up a very good point that I'd forgotten, Hal. The full title of the applicable Federal Statute is THE PRIVACY ACT
OF 1974 Title 5 U.S.C. § 552a, as Amended. You can find the complete text of the law here:http://www.justice.gov/opcl/privstat.htm
Definitely worth reading and knowing when you deal with the mayor and her minions.

Hal,
My guess is that they're within their rights to have an observer present while you view/copy the records in question. They can just say that they are ensuring nothing is altered or permanently removed by someone (namely you) other than the custodian of the records.
The good news is that based on what I've read in the past that your illustrious mayor has said and done, there's a good chance that the cop detailed to watch over you doesn't have much love of her, either. No telling what information the officer might let slip if you're friendly and curious. Take a bag of fresh donuts and coffee with you and be prepared to act kinda dumb but really interested in the officer – usually works.
Best of luck with it!

This is a really great thread, thanks guys! I'm learning about stuff I hope I never need to know but I sure do appreciate the information to have in the mental bank, so to speak.
Ain't this a great forum?
Walt,
The first clutch adjustment should have been done when the tractor was brand new. They are rarely set correctly at the factory.
If you need a new clutch disc(s) there are no OEM heavy-duty models made as far as I know. However, you might be able to have your old clutch discs re-lined by a clutch rebuilder with heavier-duty material. You can't increase the thickness of the clutch facing though, or you will throw off all the settings and may result in a non-functional clutch.
Your terminology is still a bit confusing as the term “fuel pump” on a diesel usually refers to the lift pump which supplies fuel to the low-pressure side of the injector pump, which then raises the pressure to injector levels and distributes the fuel to the injector lines. On the Jinma tractors the lift pump and injector pump are combined into the injector pump assembly, though the lift pump section can be replaced separately. When you say “injector fuel pump” you've sort of hybridized the terminology so I can only guess.
Since you think the timing is off, I would guess that the injector pump assembly was removed from the engine without noting the gear timing on it and either replaced or re-installed out of time. At this point you have no real choice but to time it by “spill timing” as Ronald has noted. That basically consists of determining at what point the fuel to the #1 injector “spills over” the end of the line where it connects to the injector itself. It takes two people and you need to first establish where the top dead center point is on the #1 cylinder, so you can then determine where the relative timing of the spillover occurs and set it accordingly. You can look up the whole procedure by doing a search as Ronald suggested because I'm already way over my pay grade with this rather inept explanation.
