Yanmar connecting rod replacement

[bridgeport13b]

Hi so I finally got the bottom end all taken apart on my ym2000, the rear connecting rod spun a bearings but luckily crank looks like it can be re done. The connecting rod on the other hand is pretty blue so I am thinking that it should probably be replaced, if I put a new or used rod in place of the old will I have balancing issues? Is there a difference between front and rear rods and or part numbers and or markings?

Both connecting rods are the same. You will not have any problems using a new or used rod or a combination of the two.

Do you happen to know if the rods are used on other engines? I know there are like three different types, 2tr20a, 2tr20, and I think another one.

They are the same on all of the YM2000 engine variations and also used on lots of other tractors including the 1600, 1700, 1900, 2210, 3000, 3110 and others.

Why are you replacing the rod? What does 'pretty blue' actually mean?
