This is really great stuff and insight. Trying to answer some of the questions posed here back to me: 1. Does it have a decompression lever: Yes, have the decompression lever and I do use it 2. "If it isn't clapped out": I'm starting to wonder if it is. Hates to start cold, no matter if it's 90...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had, and if they thought it was worth it to convert the thermostart to an all electric heater. I've started looking at something like: https://www.amazon.com/Standard-DIH4-Diesel-Intake-Heater/dp/B01BTTZ8GG or...

Sorry for going dark on you all! I haven't been a great community member. Long story that I had to back burner the tractor for awhile. However, I'm determined now to repack the cylinders myself. @rScotty you know, I can't recall why I felt the cylinders were the problem over the valve... It...

Good morning/afternoon! My saga with the YFL155 continues, although, I think I'm getting a better handle on it (with your all's help). I have a 155d yanmar with a YFL155 FEL. I identified that the lift cylinders have an internal leak (valve is fine). I know there's little known about the YFL155...

Hi all, I have a question, and I tried my best goggle-fu skills and couldn't find an answer. As you know, I'm brand new to tractors. This question feels a little obvious. How do you engage the float function on a YFL 155, with what is probably an original loader valve control? Thanks! Jon

Those are great ideas! I get the lever arm multiplication of effective weight on the loader, I think it would be at least an interesting academic exercise to see if the difference between the two solutions makes a difference... BTW, my fab skills are more macgyver eend of the spectrum (grinders...

Thank you everyone for the suggestions and conversation. I agree, the loaders specs put it at 500 lbs lift, and my real world experience with it would say, 500 will be really putting it through it's paces. I think I'm going to go with the clamp on forks. I won't lift anything crazy, just mainly...

Thanks for the info! I found a lot of this, but, not all. Especially the loader comparisons. What I'm kind of taking away from this for the YFL-155, there isn't an option for dedicated pallet forks, or a quick attach. That leaves me with the bolt on option. Based on some feedback I've read on...

Good evening! I'm Jon and I bought my first tractor a few weeks ago. A YM155D, with a YFL155 loader. I'm a complete rookie when it comes to tractors. I've got a lot of ideas and not much knowledge or wisdom. I'd like to figure out if I can get a bolt on QA conversion for the loader. After...
