After receiving my tractor I removed the infamous hydraulic suction strainer to take a look at it. It was covered in metal shavings. I removed the strainer and end retainers to flush it out. I then noticed that whatever they use to "Glue" the ends with was dissolving in a bad way. That's when I decided this thing has got to go and now. I fashioned my own suction strainer with one from northern tool. CLICK HERE Whatever they use to “Glue” the strainer together with does not resist hydraulic fluid – you can see below how bad this is and that it can contaminate valves, pumps, cylinders etc.    Larry |

Good post Larry,
I added a spin on suction strainer to my Kama 554 but it did not have the OEM one like you had. It had a pretty good one ... just hard to get to and clean.
Does Loretta's 284 have one like yours had? Should she add the spin on suction strainer mod?

Hey thanks Rob,
I don't know about Loretta's 284. I think Jinma has redesigned the hydraulics and they now have a spin on strainer near the pump? I'm sure you will be checking her tractor out soon. You did a bang up job on your 554 with that suction strainer you added with the magnet and all, that was really cleaver.

Magnets on the filters is a great idea  (I must have missed Robs post about that) After realizing my 140micron hydraulic filter probably wont catch the metal filings that wear off the gears I might look at adding round speaker magnets to the bottom of my filters... Matthew. |

Much appreciated, Will |
