We have seen several times where that blue section of hose on the left was cracked (dry rot) or loose and would suck air. Many times it would not even show a visible oil leak. Aaron

I, personally, think one of the biggest considerations with modern tractors should be the dealer's support after the sale. These newer tractors are getting MUCH harder to work on or even troubleshoot yourself. It is important to make sure there is going to be an established dealer within...

I have looked through some of your other posts and none of the pictures that you have posted of your tractor match a YM1610D. Are you certain it is not a YM1602D? https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/how-can-i-correct-this-toe-in-of-the-front-axle-wheels-on-my-yanmar-1610dt.570382/ Aaron

The YM1900 shares almost all of the same PTO parts as the YM2000 "green" style. The "red" style YM2000 has some differences but many of the parts will still interchange either as an assembly or individually. Aaron

Yea I think the YM1602 might be the only "YM" series to use that style brake rod boot. The YM1610 has dry brakes so there is no boot. Aaron

Surprisingly the 186D uses a completely different 4wd axle design. I don't think they share a single part. Aaron

Unfortunately that gear is only used on the YM1510D. I really don't think that one looks like it would cause the problem you described though. If it were me, and I could not find a replacement, I would use it. Just file down the rough/thin edges so they didn't keep chipping off, make sure the...

I mow around 10 acres of pasture. I started with a gear drive Mahindra 5010 and traded for a HST MX5800 Kubota and, in my opinion the HST makes mowing so much nicer. You have infinite travel speeds so you can go exactly as fast as comfortable depending on the ground and obstacles. The gear drive...

Are you sure the tractor actually sold in that auction? I've never bought or sold on tractorhouse but I know a lot of auctions will call something 'sold' if the reserve is not met. It is possible the auction ended without hitting the reserve so Fredricks just held on to it. Aaron

The wheels spinning opposite directions when the 4wd input shaft is unable to turn is normal. If the 4wd shaft is allowed to turn then both front wheels can (but still might not) spin the same direction. If by "a minute" you mean less than a revolution then the delay could be caused by a loose...

Thanks bmaverick! I'm still here and still read through TBN almost every day. I will try to start posting more again.

Thank you all for your kind words. I am still here and I still visit TBN at least once a week but I’m not really able to post much right now. I am no longer working for ASAP. I am currently taking some time off to hang out with the family and enjoy some hobbies that I was not able to do before...

Yes.

The most common Yanmar grease zerk is a M6x1.0 thread.

The new owners are actually a lot more invested in the used parts side than I was. The YM1500 brake cover that someone was asking about is a popular part and we sold all of the used pieces that we had.
