Also forgot to answer your last question. I’m in Eagle, Idaho. The tractor lives at our cabin in the small mountain town of Cascade Idaho an hour or so north of me.

Thanks for this. I’ll head up with a new battery and see what she does. And yeah the starter wasn’t to bad at all. I guess my philosophy on any parts has always been it’s not broke until I’ve taken it apart, inspected it, cleaned it, and put it back together again… I win some I and lose some...

Thanks… I did get a new 850cca ever start max group 65 from Walmart for it a few years back it seemed to work nice but maybe hasn’t lasted as long as I wanted it to. Has anyone been able to fit a bigger battery in it or found something with more CCA? Open to recommendations on what to buy and...

Thanks for this. I’ll look at those spots as well.

Thank you everyone! Sounds like I need to be more highly suspicious of that battery. I think I’ll plan on going up there with a fresh 850cca battery next time, also clean cable connections, check my ground, and test the starter directly with some jumpers to rule out the cables themselves being...

Howdy Peter, I connect the cables to the positive and negative terminal on the battery over the top of the cable clamps. I don’t believe the posts wiggle. If memory serves me correctly they are solid when I hook up to them but I will check next time I’m at the tractor. I can check out the...

Thanks I did try this although I will admit I didn’t get them as clean as I could (my wife brush wouldn’t fit in all the nooks of my cable ends) but I got em about 90% there. I’ll bring the right brushes up next time I’m at the property and get em good and clean. Thanks

Electric system schematic for reference Also of note I forgot to take pictures of it but the pin connectors out of the voltage regulator had appeared to get very hot at times and nearly fused one of the wires perhaps causing a short. I replaced the regulator with one I had laying around add...

Howdy gents, I’ve been having a problem with my ym276d starting up. When I turn the key it is very inconsistent on whether or not it fires the starter. If I hook it up to my battery charger and set it to “jump” mode then it will typically start just fine. I checked the battery first by taking...

That’s excellent… what might have been…Thanks for the story. For the record I’ll take my old yanmar over a JD any day ;-)

Super useful service bulletin. thanks for this. See reply below for the avaialbily of the kit per Yanmar in GA. Also I did check the lock nut on the one that came off... it was not lose. I really don't see a way in where they can loosen either its a pretty stout design as for as that nut goes...

Just a little Follow up on this. You all were so helpful I figured i'd close the loop. I got the new stub all put together and installed this last weekend up at the cabin and this time there were a few different findings. I did check the lock nut on the old one once i got it off... it id not...

Surely there has to be some hanging around in a scrap yard somewhere. Let the search begin. :) Odds sound slim to none but hey they will always be 0% unless I try!

Great find. Thank you!

All great info I will check into the lock nut when I get back to the cabin/tractor for a repair two weekends from now. So this HD kit does not fit the 276d correct? The first time I broke it I blamed myself for to heavy of a load and digging/pushing with 4wd on… so imagine a heavy pushing...
