    Fuel Line

    The hood on my YM2000 has been sitting on the fuel line that attaches to the top of the fuel tank. 6 years of vibrating has worn a hole in the line. Does anyone know what size line? I would like to pick up a replacement on my way home this afternoon. Thanks for the help.

    YM2000 alt.

    Anyone ever use a 1972 Datsun 510 alt. as a replacement. I can see light in my alt. like a burned up wire. I used a 510 volt. reg. and it worked great and fit perfect.

    Oil Seals

    About to replace the front and back oil seal. What is the average cost for repair? My dealer/mech. is going to help me with the cost since the front seal started leaking a couple of months after I bought the tractor. Now that the back seal is leaking, we are going to replace both at the same...

    Oil Leak @ Bell

    Have any of you ever heard of a leak at the bell where you split the tractor. I've notice a small trace of oil around the bell. It follows the line around the bell and drips at the bottom. The oil level before and after use is good. Not really sure what is happening.

    YM 2000 - Roll Over

    A friend and I purchased YM2000s and think they are great. Last week he rolled his, and how he did it is a little scary. Was cleaning up storm damage with a box blade and a log turned. One of the back tires went up on the log. BAM!! The tractor rolled over. He wasn't hurt but a little...

    YM2000 - alternator

    Checked the batt. w/ a new digital multi-meter and the batt. check 12.8-13.0 dc. Started the tractor and checked at 1800 rpms and it read 16.0 dc. Is this ok or is the volt. regulator not working? Thought it should read around 14.0 but not really sure. Thanks for the help.

    Charge Light Question

    When the key is turned on, the oil light will come on, but I have to bump the dash to get the charge light to come on. It worked fine until the belt came loose and I had to re-tighten. Everything seems to be charging fine. Checked w/ volt meter. I've wiggled the wires... to locate the short...
