well I talked to the local tractor guy and he suggested to use the rocks , tumble and rinse then take oven cleaner spray and spray it down good let sit for a while and see if it cleaned the tank well enough. And yeah it did a pretty good job. So I washed it with acetone and used red kote to line the tank . then used harbor freight aerosol bed liner spray on the outside of and I guess we shall see.
I think that is all that is left to replace, the only suggestion I have is to take it apart first and see if there is something stupid easy fix. good luck
see if turning the 3 pt. oil control valve knob all the way down and back off maybe 1/4 turn and see if it changes your steering,( i guess you could be by passing thru the 3 pt.) but I think you got something with the steering wheel shake and the 3 pt. working better, it makes sense things are not aligning up right there and by passing the flow i guess. I might not hurt just to know if you plumb in a pressure gauge( could be temporary.) on the high side so you can monitor what is happening and when.
I assume that you have looked at the fluid level and possibly the filter screen or filter, what type of fluid are you using you might need to go to a lighter weight aw-32 should be ok if aw-46 is giving you issues if you are using utf that will be to heavy in winter in some units. I think you have a common sump system so you have just one pump to power things, so if you can figure out it should take care of both problems.
I would take the orginal alt. to a good shop and see if they can see what is wrong with it. if they can not fix it I would ask them if they know of a sealed alt. that will bolt up. Now if you need more amps to run accessories the single wire delco is a good way to go. And ask about the sense wire hook up so the alt. will kick in at a lower rpm.
I have two chinese tractors a 2006 foton ft504a and a 2005 le204a dong feng, those are both metal. yours could be different , I think the farmpro is a jinma.
I was just thinking it might be a good idea to pour the old fuel into a jar just to see the condition of the fuel tank as if it is rusty it will end up in the filter. let it sit for a min. and look to see if it has any water also.
this is apples and oranges but I can confirm engines and oil likes and dislikes ,the wifes 2006 chevy hhr with a 2.2 liter if I put synthetic oil in it , it will burn a qt. in about 2500 miles if I use conventional oil the oil consumption is zero. since it does not leak a drip synthetic it has to be getting by the rings or valve seals and being burnt, wierd. although I have heard if you have a oil leak synthetic oil will make it leak more cause it has more lubricity.
