I posted when I made them, they are in this very forum on page 2, April 2011, Pallet Forks. A nice weekend project.
Now that I think about it I believe he had to run a pipe from the transmission back to the sump or something like that, anyone else here with a better memory?
I thought you may be in Europe. As I said the 244 is not sold here in the US. All Jinma's here have separate 85/90 wt. gear oil for the transmission and axles and a separate sump under the seat for the (AW32/46 fluid) hydraulics. I remember a post a few years ago from a fellow in Germany that had issues such as yours, and his was a common sump system with a model number not sold here. I wish I could remember what his fix turned out to be.
I'm only 55 but feel it for other reasons. If I push too hard I'll die. If I don't push enough I won't improve. If I lie around and feel sorry for myself I might as well be dead. I've opted for full steam ahead but just below the point of stupid.
Let me know if you need any parts. I have a customer who has a few Fords and a ton of Chevy and GMC COE's, maybe 15-20 in all. Always liked them myself.
That sounds like a head gasket and/ or a cracked head. You can change the gasket first if it's not too much and that may be it, or you could get the head magnafluxed and checked with a machinist strait edge while it's off.
Thanks Bert. That was predicted to be 1/2″ of freezing rain.
I've been a good patient, taking my pills, staying on a no/low salt diet and exercising. Physically my heart has returned to borderline normal, something that as I understand just doesn't happen. I still don't have anywhere near the stamina I used to have but I'll take the results so far any day. The back of the store is now also a private gym with a home gym/weight bench, elliptical and soon a treadmill as soon as I get it working. The six hours of shoveling snow would have taken two in past years but I have to work smart now, using the opportunity to strengthen my heart as opposed to giving it a heart attack. Bottom line is I just may be around for my daughters wedding, something that seemed impossible not too long ago. 
Well it'll be two years this Tuesday since being released from OHSU, and I thought I'd do a few tests to make sure the tickers still working
. The first was shoveling snow for six strait hours Friday. This morning was getting out at 6:00am to chop wood at -1 degrees. If that doesn't confirm you're still alive nothing will
