Tractor & Operations Information
Chinese Tractor Assembly
Before you start assembling your “Crate” tractor, please take some time to watch the video and look over the owners manual
and illustrated parts manual that is in the “tool and spare parts” box. Decades of hands on work on foreign equipment has taught me some rules that I would like to pass along.

     Positive Mental Attitude

         Do not be looking for “problems” because it is Chinese. Most tractors arrive with none and the minor ones you
         encounter are NORMAL for any new equipment.

     Part A was scratched in shipment!!!

         Brand name Orange, Green and Blue tractors are assembled from “Crate” parts and minor imperfections are
         repaired and the tractor is sent to a dealer. A traditional dealer inspects the tractor and fixes any additional
         operational, fit and finish defects before the customer sees the equipment.
         You are the DEALER AND ASSEMBLY FACILITY. This is part of why you are saving a LOT of money. A
         missing bolt, a bent line or a scratch are items you will take care of for your customer (YOU) to make sure that his
         machine is as good as it can be.

     Don't overlook the small stuff

         Take your time assembling and checking your tractor. The more items you check during assembly the fewer
         problems you will have later. Check that the bolts everywhere are tight. A wire tie to secure hoses and wires now
         means less leaks and electrical problems for the life of your tractor.

     The D*@N *%@~ does not work!

         Relax. I know the frustration after waiting so long for your tractor to arrive when something does not work or is
         really broke.

        1. If it does not work have you read the owners manual? It may have bad English but it does have good trouble
          shooting help.
        2. Defective Parts have a one year defective parts replacement program. If we do not have the parts in stock we may,
            A. Buy part from another dealer.
             B. Repair your part.
            C. Get part from factory.

            You will get your tractor running.
I can't stress enough that you should relax, take your time, read and look at the pictures in the parts and owners manuals and
have fun. Get help when you need it and DO IT SAFE. When you are done you will know more about your tractor than most
owners and some DEALERS. I hope you will have pride in knowing that the best assembly facility put your tractor together.


The Crate tractor assembly process can be broken down into 10 stages.
Customers receive our assembly package which includes: Each of the 10 stages has an estimated operation time of one hour. The following is for a typical JM284HD.
For assembled Tractors please see Jinma Page.
 Stage Description
1 Unpack crate, check contents, read manuals and slow charge battery.
2 Check tire pressure. Move tractor chassis from crate and bolt on 4 wheels.
3 Attach rear fenders, roll bar and seat belt anchor points.
4 Attach front weight frame. Insert battery.
5 Attach fuel tank. Connect electrical connections and cables. (See Tractor Connection wiring guide)
6 Attach engine exhaust, hood and steering wheel.
7 Attach 3 point linkage trailing arms and top link.
8 Apply grease, lubricants and coolant. Fill fuel tank with diesel. Check all bolts for tightness and fluid connections for leaks.
9 Connect battery terminals, prime injector pump, check all quick connects are connected and check hydraulic fluid levels again, start engine.
10 Stop engine after 45 seconds and check all FLUID LEVELS AGAIN!  Start engine and check operation and for leaks.
Actual Style may be different that pictures. The factory may improve or change the tractor at any time.
