bet the plane was made with tighter tolerences and passed more inspections than the tractor when new
starting issues with these tractors can be different one from another. Keyswitches ,safty switches on the clutch pedal undersized wireing.I pulled my hair out fixing this and that but could not get it to stay fixed long term. Until I took the advise of those here,I placed a starter relay in the start circuit start wire.It does not take much voltage/amprees to pull the relay ,taking load off above circuits.But if your starter is no good this will not help.But it sure took care of my issues.
I had a 69 ford 3400 it had bars instead of chains it was semi rigid I guess you could call it.It still could move side to side some.Find someone who has a old ford and take a look.The bars were on pined in front near the fender bolts on the axle, the back went to the same pins as the lift arms.
well I was mowing again and ran out of fuel with a full tank .Ran a wire up thru the cut off valve and disloged whatever was restricting the flow of diesel.Drained the tank went to the store found a screen 6mmx1mm thread, tapped the topside of the valve placed the screen hope this takes care of the it, appears to be paint chips in the fuel tank.Guess this is going to have to do really do not have a good place for a strainer bowl,but hopefully this will keep the valve from getting plugged.
remember there is a left hand and right hand thread, hope you remembered how many turns it was when you took it apart
I think I will have to use a inline bowl if I can find one there is less that one inch to the side and the same below the shut off valve.I think I can find a suitable place on the side of the engine it would be nice to have a glass bowl instead of plastic,it is only a 20 hp so gph is low any ideas?
fix what you can with the fuel system ,maybe you will get lucky drain the pump put in fresh oil .If the running cures itself you found a restriction somewhere.If not and fuel ends up in the pump quickly ,its is pump time.
I know I did not mention it does not have a sediment bowl there is not much clearence where the fuel outlet is.I think that is why no bowl, just a turn off valve.what do you think of adding a medium size clear in line filter.I sure would like to have a visual point to check the fuel.Oh I did not also mention this is on the 2005 dong feng le204.
I use 15/40 diesel engine oil in the engine year round.and universal tractor fluid in anything hydro ,80/90 gl-4 or 5 on gears.It gets 100 f here and goes down to 10f normally.had no issues using this stuff. would love to visit your country sometime.
Does the oil pressure reduce slowly as it gets hot or does it go away all at once? And by chance did you restart it after a few moments and the oil pressure came up? I am wondering if it is maybe a restricted oil return hole under the valve cover,maybe the oil is mostly staying up there and starving the sump.But I think that might be unlikely but need to check out.
