Can anyone tell me how to remove my turn signal switch on my YM1401D? I have unhooked the wires and tested it. Everything works except the switch. I just don't want to break anything taking it apart. Thanks for your help.

I have a Toro zero turn mower. My wife is the full time operator and I just keep it maintained for her. She has been saying that the left side tire doesn't respond or move as quickly in reverse after she has been mowing for some time. When it is hot, the lever will move the left side...

I have an Yanamr 1401D, 2pt tiller, 4ft Howse brush cutter, rice and turf tires, and Pat's Easy change 3pt system. What is a fair price to ask for this package? It is in good condition and I'm only selling because I going back to school and need money. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My father-in-law has a 1943(?) John Deere B that has just been sitting in his tool shed for a number of years now. I am thinking about asking him if I could buy it to restore. What is something like this worth? I know is doesn't have a 3 point, but could one be added? What are some of the...

In the attached photo, you can see a "wet" bolt head on the front-left of my Yanmar 1401D. This is leaking a very small amount of gear oil. Can someone explain to me how to fix this? Thanks for your help.

I purchased a dirt scoop for my tractor this weekend - no front loader. I friend once told me that it would take me getting used to using it. He was right. Does anyone have any tips/tricks on how to use a dirt scoop?

I would like to put a remote hydraulic on my YM1401D (rear blade, log splitter, top link...). I know someday I will be putting on a loader, so I will have to cut the pressure side of the hydraulic line then anyway. I know I must cut a piece out of the line and put on compression fittings...

I don't have a close Koyker loader dealer, so I am wondering if any other loaders are made to fit my Yanmar 1401D. Bush Hog, Great Bend, Allied? I have those dealers within a few miles. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone converted a 2 point tiller to a 3 point? Is this possible? I love my 2 point tiller, but it sure would be a lot easier to hook up if it were a 3 point.

I have a YM1401D with a front pinion seal that needs replaced. I have the parts ordered and will fix it myself. Before I tackle anything new like this, I always like to know what I am getting myself into. So, can anyone give me step-by-step instuctions, tools needed, what not to do, what to...

I am finding a quarter sized amount of gear oil under my Yanmar 1401D after use. This is coming from the drive shaft to the front tires about 8-10 inches back from the front axle. It's coming from the bell-shaped housing. If I use the 4wd I will notice it, but not always in 2wd. After...

I first ask about tilling secrets - thanks for everyone's help and advice. Now, what about brush hogging. I have a 4ft Howse cutter. Not having a live PTO, letting off the clutch with the PTO engaged seems to put a lot of strain on the tractor, for my tires and blades are starting at the same...

I have used my 4 ft Yanmar tiller behind my 1401D just a few times now and really like it. Does anyone have any tips/tricks/secrets to using this type of tiller? What PTO speed for what type of ground (hard/loose)? How fast to drive? Is it okay to turn the tractor and leave the tiller down...

My neighbor has a 4 foot Howse brush cutter for sale. He is asking $275. He says it's about 4-6 years old and it looks in fair condition. Is this a good deal? Are replacement parts (blades) easy to find and get? Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

Does any have a hydraulic top link on their Yanmar? If so, what size cylinder (bore/stroke) do you have and can you give me some general ideas on how to accomplish this task? I would like to add a loader on my 1401D soon with a 3rd valve to control this top link/remote.

Does anyone own a quick hitch purchased from Homier. I saw one advertised for $90. Category one. Just wondering if anyone has one or has seen one.

I did a search and read about putting truck tires on a 1401D to use as turf tires. Sounds like a great idea to me. I read to use 265/75/R16 on the rear and 155R12 on front. First of all I can't find 155R12 - is there a missing middle number in that tire number? Also, will using these 2 tires...

Well, after a lot of reading and research, I have purchased my first tractor - a 1401D. I will pick it up in a few days. I really liked what I saw in this tractor, hopefully I will not be disappointed. Thanks to everyone here for the tremendous amount of valuable information. I know I will...

Has anyone heard of the Taishan tractor brand name? I have done a few searches, but I found nothing helpful.

Besides horsepower and transmission, what are the differences between the 1401D, 1500D, and 1510D? I am interested in length, width, weight, years produced, availability of parts, and anything else you can add. Thank you!

I am looking to buy a Yanmar (1510D or 1401D??) tractor, but I am having no luck finding a dealer in west-central Indiana. Can anyone help me? I have been reading discussions here for about 6 months and have really enjoyed it. Thanks for any help you can offer.
