YM 2500 Locked Differential

[HDM47]

You folks are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for your help.

Is your lock working as it should? What did you find? :licking:

I wished mine would stay locked. I wouldn't have to keep my foot on the pedal all the time.

Good one. :laughing:

I have said that a time or two sure was nice of Yanmar to include that feature my last 2wd tractor didn't have one it was worthless because of it.

I am grateful for sure but a button on the dash sure would be nice!

I agree with Chris and California and thankfully Winston has the internal diagrams just in case its either a sticky plunger thru the case from lack of use/lube or internal.

When I first got mine it was stuck also (unlocked luckily) had several coats of paint and tons of rust under that it was bad and took a bunch of spray oil to free it up. I expected it to leak like a sieve afterwards but its been fine ever since.

Man should see it it has a nice thick paint job over the rust and dirt hahaha! :laughing:

Are they still around?

 

[Car Doc]

Looks like they still have a few smaller Yanmars listed on their website so Id say yes? (they sell new LS tractors also fwtw)

Didnt that member Houston Scott??, i think, just buy one from them within the past year? He was praising them and the quality he got.

Maybe they got out since his, maybe they actually were rebuilding them at that point and it cost them way to much to actually fix stuff.

 

[Car Doc]

Yeah he was definitely a mouth piece for them :laughing: dont know how close the relationship really was or the dynamics of it but they seemed pretty tight back then maybe a little too coincidental who knows? :laughing:

I hope he did get a good machine he has every right to cuss it or praise it just like we all do but in the long run hope he is still happy with the brand if nothing else.
