Ill double check but I had already checked tightness but I do want to measure or look more closely to see if there is a difference is gap. Thanks for that link Winston ..it doesnt list my exact model but is the consensus that it fits most front axels?

I am chasing a leak that is emptying my front axle. I replaced the knuckle seal as it seemed to be coming from there but I now think its where knuckle bolts to the horizontal axel. Problem is I cant figure out if there is actually a seal in there from looking at the parts manual and I am...

Just an update on my plight. I had my starter rebuilt for about a $100 – money well spent in my minds eye . Won’t be able to install for a week or so but if the problem still exists it clearly is wiring and I will tackle that then. Wanted to share some info I came across that might be helpful in...

Can an existing starter be rebuilt from say 2.4kw to 4kw?

I have not removed the starter but believe it has 11 teeth on the starting gear and those from rare electric have 9

I'll order one up and then see if I can this original one to work as a spare. I miss the days of having a local auto electric shop near by

Good call. Thanks!

Thanks all... Can't believe Hoye charges $26 shipping on a small $50 part.....yikes!

Just want to make sure I am testing my troubles correctly. Was getting clicking at the starter but no start. Battery fully charged. Bridged the two terminals and can force it to start. Took a jumper from the positive terminal to the top post (wire from ignition) and no joy just clicking. Leads...

Oh...before I start measuring...anyone know top of mind what the bolt pattern measurements are for Yanmars?

Thank you all. Awhile back, I remember someone asking the same question I did and I thought I remebered the set could be worth a grand....ill post something around me (Connecticut) and see what comes of it

Inhave been holding on to these for almost a decade and I am thinking of selling. Can you guys give a fair range in price to sell the set?

For some crazy reason, the damn thing started charging again. The only thing that happened was I tried to get some readings from the two outputs. I did take a probe and accidently touched both and got a small spark and after that it started charging again. will call Hoye and talk to them...

Link to replacement at hoye for a better view of dynamo. https://www.hoyetractor.com/PROD/AL-1215.htm

Read this thread because I have a no charging situation on the YM 2020D. This alternator does not look like what you guys have. See picture. Hoye says its a dynamo. As I trouble shoot this, should I be getting DC volts out of the two wires from the alternator/Dynamo or AC? I checked today on DC...
