Yeah big George ran straight over to the pallet to check it out when i let him out.

The pallet landed today with the axle and drive shaft! The coupling on the drive shaft looks like new where it bolts onto the 4wd shaft, the paint and the bolt on it dont look old at all. I just need to order one of the rubber boots and the pins to connect it on the front axle side! Happy days...

That looks a great site post above i will have to check it out. For a bit of an update. after all the places i emailed i think 2 of them replied to say they couldnt do it. But i found a guy on facebook selling a ym186 engine and parts. i messaged him saying i would buy everything off him but he...

did you ever manage to find the parts you need? i am looking for a complete shaft myself as my tractor came with no 4wd shaft

J&R replied this morning with only "we cant help you" Ive messaged a heap of drive shaft and prop shaft manufacturing places and tried Hoye tractors again, the place which has replaced them just said i need to contact Hoye.

Hi Peter which cumbrian fabricators are you refering to as thats where im at.

Yeah i think thats the plan. Then i just need to try get a driveshaft.

Thanks yeah i have looked on their site but it says it is not available online. ive tried to contact them before about the drive shaft but they dont reply to me. Maybe because i am in the UK. If i could find a picture of the part it would help me repair what i have.

I had seen that site but i wasnt sure it was genuine and it seems to show every part as available but with no pictures or details for any of them which i have came across this situation for my old jap cars ive got. I will give them a go though and see if i get anything back. Cheers

I have been told that the spline couplings are uncommon sizes and hard to source. But getting one fabbed up is looking like my only option currently. I know a guy who could do it but it would mean leaving the tractor with him for months as he takes so long to get round to getting things done...

The snapped off piece must have just fell out otherwise i would weld it back on myself.

it wouldnt let me add these pics on the last post. I found a radiator screen on the tract parts site and also a new gasket for the exhaust and i rotated it to point up instead of infront of the tractor. If anyone had any ideas on the parts i need it would be helpful. or if anyone knows of a way...

I couldnt remember which website i had started this thread on but i have now found it 🤣 Ive been doing little jobs here and there on the 186. I got the gearbox oil changed, i used mannol ATF Dexron 3 10L of it and i fitted a blue print filter. I took the washable filter out of the gearbox and it...

Cheers Eric I am enjoying it. It just seems hard to get hold of parts for these machines in the uk atleast no matter how much searching I do.

I managed to get hold of a complete draw bar and mounting bracket to replace my damaged one and missing drawbar. This has allowed me to move my little trailer i bought originally for my little ride on lawn mower to pull around. This has been very handy moving stone for the base i have been...
