- The coolant level is not unusually low. I will keep an eye on it.
2. I am out of town now but I will check engine oil level when I get back home. This could be too high but I would not expect light colored smoke if this were the case. Is this a correct assumption.
3. I will check the injectors next. I suppose they are relatively easy to get to . I have never removed one and not real familiar with diesel engines. If you have any pointers feel free to share them.
I sure appreciate all the ideas that are provided.
It’s been a long time, but for those of you with a Jinma or have an interest, I want to tell you how I found the problem. I found the fuse box on the back side of the engine up close to the instrument panel. None of the fuses were blown, but after tracking down the wiring system, I finally dissembled the fuse box. Guess what I found? An in wire fuse behind the fuse box that was blown. When this was replaced. All worked fine. I would have never found this had I not removed the fuse box and kept looking.
the smoke is light colored gray. It seems that when this happens I loose power then it returns after 10 seconds when I turn the rpms down.
I got the problem resolved. I found it was cockpit error on my part when I replaced the pump. Stupid error on my part but I have learned a lot from each of you and exploring my tractor. I may as well explain my stupidity. When installing the pump I thought the plug on the intake was a gasket to seal the inlet connection so I left if there. It was truly stopping fluid from getting to the pump. With this fixed the hydraulics work great.
My tractor is working and I am grateful for all the ideas from everyone to keep me exploring.

I bought the pump from Circle G Tractor. Its possible the pump could be bad but when I looked at it there appeared to be some residual oil from the outlet line dripping back in. I will check for an arrow but I do not remember seeing one.
Here is what I did over the weekend.
1. loosen/remove pressure line coming out of the pump at the far end of the hose to allow air out. This did not do anything so I removed the line right at the pump. With this removed. I still don't get any oil coming out of the pump but I can definitely hear it turning/working. I only tried this a very low RPM.
I also checked the incoming side. I appears their is oil right at the pump since it came out when I loosened the fittings.
Question is:
Do I need to run the rpm higher than idling up to get the pump to draw fluid in or is idling sufficient?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Thanks Bert, very helpful. Can you tell me the part number of the Galtech valve and possibly where you purchased it so if I find that I need to get a new one.
Best Regards, Cal
Thanks this is helpful information. Now I just have to find to to work on the tractor as I work a full time job and do this for fun on the side.

Everyone thanks for your input. Your information reveals the following:
1. check pressure relief valve to see if it's working.
2. prime the pump by filling the suction line and pump as possible.
3. replace all chinese quick disconnects. What do you mean by your comment “put hose clamps behind the slider”? What is a slider?
Where do I start. It seems the pressure relief valve might be a good place. Should I start here or somewhere else?
Bert, Can you tell me where the pressure relief valve on the FEL. If this is bad would it also disable the PTO?
Thanks, Cal
