My tractor is a Yanmar YM1510D. It has a 3PH that takes standard Cat 1 implements. I have a 5' finish mower, a 42" brush mower, a 4' box blade, 5' rear blade and a post hole digger. No problems handling any of those implements. It has 15 PTO hp and about 18-19 engine hp. It does quite a bit...

I was unloading mulch from my trailer yesterday with my 1510D when I realized I was leaking hydraulic fluid. It is coming out of the bottom of the hydraulic pump where the 4 bolts are. I tried tightening the bolts but that only stopped one from leaking. And I broke another which should be fun...

I have a grey market Yanmar with a Kanzaki loader. I have had trouble getting the zerks on the loader to take grease. So I decided just to replace them. Here is where I have a problem. I fully expected them to be metric zerks (10mm). Well, the guy at NAPA measured them and says they are 3/8...

Ok I'm going to try to attach a very crude drawing of what I did. I used swivel caster wheels with 3/8" bolts and washers. By putting the side 2x6s on top of the front/back ones I could attach the wheels where I've shown on the pic and not worry about the bolts sticking up. I then hooked up...

Is anyone using any type of block or radiator hose heater on their Yanmars? I'm not certain but my tractor does appear to have at least one freeze plug. A radiator hose heater may not fit on it. I have considered a magnetic heater for the oil pan but I'm not sure it would be effective when...

Is there anything special I need to do for my H this winter? I have an engine block heater for the Yanmar but since the H is a gas engine I'm thinking it doesn't need one. It will be used throughout the winter and if I go for more than a week without using it due to weather, I was planning on...

I have the opportunity to buy a 5' Frontier rear blade for $300 (new). I think this is a good price for it, but thought I'd ask here for other opinions. I will be using it mainly for snow removal. It looks like it is easy to turn the blade around. 5 forward and 5 reverse settings.

As many of you know, I bought a Farmall H a few weeks ago. I had gone into the local Case/IH dealer to find out how friendly they would be about getting parts when I needed them, and the salesman and I decided we liked each other. We've been dating a couple weeks and today he asked if I wanted...

I would like to get a rear blade for snow removal. A 5' KK blade is $228 at TSC. I have the opportunity to purchase a 5' 20 series Bush Hog blade for $325. I don't know if the $325 is a good price or not. The dealer says it is discounted because it is faded from being on the lot for a year...

Can anybody post me pics of how the choke rod should go on the Farmall H? I bought one on ebay for the tractor but need a couple of good pictures to help me put it on right. I can't find anything on the internet.

I would like to build a lean to on my corncrib to gain some extra storage. It would be probably 15' or 16' wide by 24' long. My question is that I was planning just to hang some joists (vertical) with purlins (horizontal) for the roof, which would be metal. I was thinking 2x6 joists with 2x4...

Here is my newest addition, a 1950 Farmall H. Yes, you are allowed to laugh at it if you want to because it was only $500 and it runs great.

I have a Yanmar 1510D. Right now I use it to load my manure spreader and I hook the spreader up to my truck. I have been considering adding a second tractor for pulling the spreader (old ag tractor). If I put a jack on this tongue, do you think I could hook it to my tractor after it's loaded? I...

I'm not sure, it is the type you pull with a drawbar. This is a picture of it, although maybe I should go out and take a picture of the tongue.

I am considering buying an old ag tractor for pulling my manure spreader. Right now I'm pulling it with my truck (need my tractor to load it and can't pick it up to hook up to the tractor when it is loaded). It is an old spreader, probably a New Idea from the 50s. I was all set to buy a 1940...
