Can anyone tell me how to remove my turn signal switch on my YM1401D? I have unhooked the wires and tested it. Everything works except the switch. I just don't want to break anything taking it apart. Thanks for your help.

I have a Toro zero turn mower. My wife is the full time operator and I just keep it maintained for her. She has been saying that the left side tire doesn't respond or move as quickly in reverse after she has been mowing for some time. When it is hot, the lever will move the left side...

I have an Yanamr 1401D, 2pt tiller, 4ft Howse brush cutter, rice and turf tires, and Pat's Easy change 3pt system. What is a fair price to ask for this package? It is in good condition and I'm only selling because I going back to school and need money. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My father-in-law has a 1943(?) John Deere B that has just been sitting in his tool shed for a number of years now. I am thinking about asking him if I could buy it to restore. What is something like this worth? I know is doesn't have a 3 point, but could one be added? What are some of the...

I am thinking of putting a toothbar on my 30 inch dirt scoop. Does anyone have any hints to help me build this?

In the attached photo, you can see a "wet" bolt head on the front-left of my Yanmar 1401D. This is leaking a very small amount of gear oil. Can someone explain to me how to fix this? Thanks for your help.

I purchased a dirt scoop for my tractor this weekend - no front loader. I friend once told me that it would take me getting used to using it. He was right. Does anyone have any tips/tricks on how to use a dirt scoop?

I would like to put a remote hydraulic on my YM1401D (rear blade, log splitter, top link...). I know someday I will be putting on a loader, so I will have to cut the pressure side of the hydraulic line then anyway. I know I must cut a piece out of the line and put on compression fittings...

Does anyone have any knowledge/experience with the HelpMate loaders from Compact Tractor Connection. I have a YM1401D. Thanks for your help.

I don't have a close Koyker loader dealer, so I am wondering if any other loaders are made to fit my Yanmar 1401D. Bush Hog, Great Bend, Allied? I have those dealers within a few miles. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone converted a 2 point tiller to a 3 point? Is this possible? I love my 2 point tiller, but it sure would be a lot easier to hook up if it were a 3 point.

I have a YM1401D with a front pinion seal that needs replaced. I have the parts ordered and will fix it myself. Before I tackle anything new like this, I always like to know what I am getting myself into. So, can anyone give me step-by-step instuctions, tools needed, what not to do, what to...

I am finding a quarter sized amount of gear oil under my Yanmar 1401D after use. This is coming from the drive shaft to the front tires about 8-10 inches back from the front axle. It's coming from the bell-shaped housing. If I use the 4wd I will notice it, but not always in 2wd. After...

I first ask about tilling secrets - thanks for everyone's help and advice. Now, what about brush hogging. I have a 4ft Howse cutter. Not having a live PTO, letting off the clutch with the PTO engaged seems to put a lot of strain on the tractor, for my tires and blades are starting at the same...

I have used my 4 ft Yanmar tiller behind my 1401D just a few times now and really like it. Does anyone have any tips/tricks/secrets to using this type of tiller? What PTO speed for what type of ground (hard/loose)? How fast to drive? Is it okay to turn the tractor and leave the tiller down...
