Yanmar YM 1610 DT
I have a Yanmar 1610 DT that's leaking oil from both brake dust covers.

Where can I find this spare part?

What reference do I have to search for it online?


When I disassembled it, I broke a screw inside the spacer.

Where can I find this spacer for sale?

What is its reference?

Thanks.

The YTOG has the manuals for your machine for free. (y)

You will know the part numbers and then the YTOG Resource Page for all the parts suppliers. :cool:

This is a new one on me. Parts manual doesn't show dust covers for the 1610 that I can see. Here is part number and one place to buy the turnbuckle. YM3810-REAR AXLE & BRAKES

Yea I think the YM1602 might be the only "YM" series to use that style brake rod boot. The YM1610 has dry brakes so there is no boot.

I wonder if the OP has the wrong tractor decal on his machine. The YM1610 and YM1602 have a common engine, the 3T75U. Just the YM1602 has two more trailing letters of NB.

@AaronM , you bring up a good point. (y)

Per @AaronM suggestion that your machine is possibly mis-marked, I went to look for those brake boots. Nothing listed for a YM1610. Yet, they do show up for a YM1602.

Brand-M has them in-stock, down in Texas. (y)

In the end, I bought the brake rod boots from this online store:


The stores you mentioned either don't ship to Europe (I'm from Spain) or their shipping costs are very high.

Another question I have arisen: when I removed the brake rod boots, 12 liters of oil came out.
Is this amount of oil spilling normal, or could it indicate a damaged internal seal?
I collected the oil in some jugs, but if I want to fill it with fresh oil,
What kind of oil should I refill?

Also, see if there is a vent that is plugged and that may be why oil is being pushed out more than normal.

That fluid amount is not unusual for wet brakes. If you have a 1602 that is what you have. There is no eternal seal at the brake rod exit point. That boot is the seal.
