Hi everyone, first time here. I'm helping an old lady I know with a tractor she bought 2 years ago but wasn't used much because of a bad oil leak.
I fixed the oil leak but now that I wanna go outside and test the tractor, the thing just won't move. I can feel the gear are engaging like it should for the Hi Lo and reverse and it's engaging for the 1-2-3-4 speed gear also.
The tractor slightly move (1/32 of a wheel turn) in lo gear so I think the clutch is gone but she told me the tractor was running ok when it got parked in that shed long time ago (mice don't eat clutch). Note that I can't believe everything she says as some informations are often contradicting.
The big question now is about a lever underneat the seat (picture #2) that seems to have 3 positions, turtle, neutral, rabbit. It seems to moves enough from neutral to rabbit but doesn't go so far on turtle. It's pretty hard to move when in gears (for example Lo 2) with clutch released and moves easier when everything is in neutral or with clutch depressed so I guess it's has something to do with the powertrain. I removed a cover and can see a disc moved by the fork attached to this lever. (pics #3).
This tractor is a KJT 6030 and is a total mystery. I see the brand exist but can't find anything on it online or if it's made by Jinma, Foton, etc... Here's a pic so maybe someone can tell if it looks the same as something else. It's gonna help a lot to find informations or exploded view but maybe I'm too optimist. I found a page that list tractor brand made by other company but no link for KJT:
Picture of the ''Turtle Rabbit'' lever:
Picture with the cover on the left removed (the disc that the lever moves is in the red circle):
I woul really appreciate if someone can tell me if this lever is another Hi Lo selector (it would gives 16 speeds then) and if you know problems about it or if there's more chances it's the clutch.
Thanks for your help.
