Hi Guys, Sorry, I was up in the hills when I posted and couldn't get back until now. To answer your questions.
What was I doing? I had my bucket caught in a tree branch. I was going in reverse trying to pull away from the tree. I was not trying to pull the tree down. The bucket was just caught. The Tractor tipped sideways and put an huge amount of pressure on one side. I was not working the controls so all the valves were closed. I think that is why the pump is ok. The place where the rod end screws in has some hairline cracks about 1″ in up the casing or bore where fluid squirts out.
Affordable tractor: Yes that is my order.
Comparison: I searched online for 3 hours but could not find an identical stroke, resting length, bore size, pin size. etc. I found many in the $100 range that I could work with. but I would probably have to buy two so the match and I would still have to make modifications. to it. Affordable had the best online price that I could find to just fix it and forget it.
Thanks all for the reply.
Well I should have listened. I read somewhere that I was supposed to measure the bonded seal from the ID of the rubber part. So I ordered 10 14mm parts. to be safe I ordered 12mm and 16mm parts also. the 16mm parts were still too small. Now I am re-ordering 18mm washers. Its funny I was in a napa store in Hillsboro OR last week asking about these. They had no clue what I was talking about. They were convincing me I had some very specialized piece of machinery. I didn't elaborate and let them continue to think I had a very high end machine.
Well wouldn't ya know it. after letting the tractor sit for more than 6 weeks because my back tells me not to do anything stressful, I went out to the barn fired it up and didn't hear any form of knock. I spent the next 2 hours trying to get the valve lash just the way it is supposed to be. I then I drove it hard up and down the dirt roads around me and I couldn't detect any kind of problem. Thanks all for the advice. New injector is sitting on a shelf now for trouble shooting if it happens again. Also, between police, some community awareness, and my controlled berms across my roads, the pot farmers are off my property for now.
Thanks again guys.
In this case I decided to eat the cost of the injector and not hassle with a warranty discussion (based on a previous experience that I don't want to elaborate on because the Jinma world is too small).
While I love the circle g website for parts, and do some business there, this time I bought from “affordable” I bought two 80 oz jugs of diesel klean (for both tractors an my F250) elsewhere and a mechanics stethoscope as some other site suggested that you could isolate a problematic injector by sound. This was a $3 harbor freight tool experiment.
Thanks, done. will update again in a few weeks once I get back there.
FYI you answered about the valve lash settings but I have since edited that post because I found them in the docs. Thanks. reposting here just for my records.
Lash is set cold exhaust 0.25~0.30mm and intake 0.20~0.25mm Your specifications may be different, check your manual.
Again, thanks all.Affordable, Bob, Tinbender,
As you were writing your responses last night I was trying to figure out the 284 engine type. I found all the docs, the engine operations manual says Laidong BSHLL1.53LDE, Same for the parts catalog. The purchase order says 2011 EPA IV Lai Dong. engine. So I was drawing the conclusion that it is the KM385 even thought there is no explicit cross reference. I purchased it from Keno in March. I can’t see the engine because its two hours away. correct any misinterpretations please.
Thanks, all. My worries suppressed.bad injector, That was not something I would not have thought of. now your talking possible quick fix. So let me rationalize here out loud. bad or clogged injector means bad burn, white smoke, … but I can't understand how it would knock. -oh, unless it is spitting fuel too soon. Ok, Do you think if i pull the injectors and I let them spit onto cardboard I will be able to tell this? Tractor is now 2 hours away. Next time I go up there I want parts in hand to be 80% sure I am going to be able to fix it on that trip. Need to pull the tractor out of the rattlesnake infested barn before I start tearing into it. Once its dismantled, it's hard to get it back into barn to fix on my next trip. I don't mind buying parts to stick on my shelf. Injector, piston rod, rod bearings, lifting rods, …?
Thanks Bob, that sounds totally logical. And I never intentionally move dirt sideways but I am not very coordinated with the bucket it does take alot of sideways force. I have a heck of a time getting the cylinder off but I have just dismantled it in place. I see a disintegrated seal. I ordered several seals (cirgle g, sorry keno) that I think are right and a few slightly larger and smaller just so I have it right. we can close this ticket. problem solved. thanks again!
