My YM240D (l4) started dropping 3-point hitch recently. Following threads here and on ymowners, I already drained the hydraulic fluid and cleaned the filter. Filled her back up and things move a lot smoother but 3pt still drops when loaded with a box scraper (before it dropped when loaded with a...

Hello, I am back with updates! Cleaned, painted, and assembled with about ~1.5mm of new shims, filled with new oil on Sunday and left it for another 2 weeks (until we are back). So far so good. Below are photos I snapped during the process. Some things I noted: as it has been mentioned before...

Measurements taken so far: Wear collar: Spacer (sorry, don't have height): Stub axle, measurement at wear collar:

Yup, working on front (stub) axle/wheel spindle that lives in the knuckle. I have all the shop manuals, but had a hard time finding original for YM240D on eBay, so purchased one for YM240 two weeks ago. I also purchased a drivetrain manual for 135 through 240. I have to see what it turns out to...

Got a YM240D with FEL over a month ago - it looked very used, but worked great, and I really did not want to pass on a green one. I have been asking questions in another, more specific, topic, and figured I'd share overall progress here. The 240 came with a long list of issues and, from lurking...

Status update: I am back at the ranch, got into the garage and measured shims. Also took picture of how one of the better survivors fits:

Hi winston1, thank you for response and I agree with you. You are right, these shims go on the stub axle - they are #7 in diagram below. Given that they are so worn, can I re-use them or should I replace them? If I need to replace them, how to correctly measure thickness (I foresee it would be...

I got a 240d with loader to help with larger tasks around the property recently. It came with oil pouring out of hubs and wobbly front wheels. I identified this as bad bearings and seals. Now I think that maybe I was wrong because once we got the knuckles off and apart, the bearings and seals...

I am sorry about the confusion. You are not wrong. YM155D I have has filter seems to be close to what you describe: tall 5" wide cylinder that is mounted vertically outside the hood with a cinch and is attached to engine intake with a two-hole eye-shaped flange. I have the parts book and service...

Hi everyone, I am new here, figured I'd introduce myself. Also new to needing a tractor, to tractors, and to Yanmars. I am a new owner of a Yanmar YM155D with a 42" tiller and mower from a friend who got it from a widow of original owner and absolutely love it. It came with all manuals and...

Hi everyone, I am new to forum and to tractors. All this is very new to me so please forgive me if I am mis-naming things. I definitely have a soft spot for older tractors and need a bigger tractor and loader. I found an older Yanmar with FEL on local listing and went to look at it over the...
