Replying to Jim and (Well dang. Ignore the duplicate of TX Jim's post.) Replying to Jim and xfaxman and all ... Thanks for the chart xman. Excellent summary. I always assume the weight would be based on the least dense number and had thought it was somewhere 400+ for 4 x 4s. I have...

What are the weights for the various round bale sizes? Ball park / averages? Specifically 4x4 and 4x5s (We can't handle the big ones.) As we all know here hay prices have doubled (in my area, southeast Appalacians) and diesel is insane, but I am trying to work out comparison with small...

Another difference is the YM2000 has a third PTO speed (the middle setting I think) and the PTO order is opposite: YM2000 540 is lowest, not highest (IIRC ... YM240 manual is is garage.) Drain plug for radiator has different location also. At least on ours.

I was over at the "Yanmar Owners Place" ;) yesterday and haven't figured out how to navigate it very well yet. I did find an extensive list of stuff (manuals) on the "wiki" link? (Don't recall now.) But it was a huge amount and didn;t know how to sort. Your list gives me some clues as they...

Ooops. Posted my redundant question before I saw Maverick's thorough response. Got it.

Am I correct that the I&T manual for the YM 240 would be the closest one? (we have noticed differences as we have the Y240 owners manual for our YM 2000D)

Is there a copy of that manual on line? (Over at the yanmar owners' place?) I am working on this is very small time slots (and am very slow :-) due to other constraints.) Do I have to remove the radiator? (Still cutting away one of the radiator hoses.) Thanks.

Late update on the starter. I opted to find a new one as the prices didn't seem too out of line and found one on Amazon (not OSGR) which had both the old model number (from the Hoye site) and the number on the actual starter listed as compatible. {Insert laughter here.} It arrived and my...

Hey y'all -- Will be replacing water pump on my YM2000 D. Any videos out there? Tips? Thanks in advance. BBF

Thanks. (Been away from this project caring for very sick horse.) The link Starter Assembly - Made In USA! is the one that Hoye is now selling which looks different than the exploded view on their website. Hoye says it replaces: 124450-77010 S114-146 S114-146 The "124450-77010" being the...

This starter. Not sure what all the acronyms are in your post. Hoye sellls a starter and more. The other commenter said rebuild ... Off to church ...

Errr .... did not leave it to spin. It kept spinning (without turning engine over) even after I shut the tractor off and took the key out! 😲 I had to pull a lead off the battery to shut the thing down.

Shut off tractor to open gate and pass through. When I went to restart (it always has started immediately) it kicked over and then it all went went south. Instead of chugging and turning the engine over the starter was running continuously, not turning the engine over. *Even when I shut it...

Here's what it looks like at this point .... It seems pretty obvious. (We are thinking to get a couple new radiator hoses as we go into the next stage and do some preventative maintenance while we are at it.) I noticed in someone else's post on a different model that they had trouble with a...

Turns out I had a backup we ordered from you Aaron a couple years back. So we're good for now. That "Yee haw!!" you heard last week was me in the garage.

Picked up the A-37 / 4L390 fan belt mentioned earlier. (Took it back inside for them to recheck it as it didn't look right when I got to the car and sure enough they gave me the wrong one. So took care of that before we got home and discovered the ooops.) The old belt had been on since --- oh...

A 37. Picked it up at local AutoZone for $9. Lawn equipment type belt.

What's the part number for fan belt for YM2000D? My manual for YM240D doesn't list number. Think I can get it locally (there is a John Deere and a Yanmar [new] dealership in area)? Regular car parts store? Thanks. Edit -- looks like it's a 37. Will check local dealers.

Is the air filter for my YM 2000D available in local stores or only from Hoye? (Not that I don't like Hoye, but looking for one quicker ...) Thanks.

YM2000D Use it for bush hogging, baling, move manure, usual stuff . . . not a heavy user (I don't think). Noticed some gear clashing in recent uses, but figured I wasn't clutch down all the way or something. Today took it out after it sat for several weeks after baling and we had to replace a...

Hubby doing some routine maintenance on YM - 2000D and this plunked onto the floor from nowhere (?). I have crawled under and we can't see where it came from. Help us out anyone? Thanks in advance.

We have a YM 2000D bought about 6 years ago from a guy who bought it from a refurb guy in NC (Corrigan Bros??) He included a Yanmar manual covering several models including the YM240 which is supposed to be very similar to our gray market tractor. How accurate are they? I have attached a...

We noticed that the last K2 we bought was colored pink/red, the same as our off road diesel. ("What??") Asked local garage and he said K2 is being phased out and people are using off road in their space heaters. And yes, they are coloring kerosene pin/re now. Heating is not my problem ... I...

Hey y'all -- My faithful YM2000D complete with original rice paddy tires has a flat rear tire. I have searched the forums but must be tired as I can't find info on how to remove the fluid before pulling the tire off and hauling it over to the local tractor tire fixer guy. The weird thing is...

Hey y'all -- One of our front 6-14 tires (the original 40 year old ones) has developed a rim and stem leak. Don't find a 6-14 tube on Hoye -- Going over to look on Amazon and eBay. Any other ideas on where to find one? Thanks in advance.

Bought this in a hurry without doing my homework a couple years ago. Have one (!), new, 9.5-24 never mounted "Millstone". Am located in Western North Carolina between Hendersonville and Brevard. Paid close to $300 with freight added. $150.00 and you can come and get it. Thanks all. BTW...

Hey y'all -- Came back from vacation and discovered large puddle of oil on garage floor under left front axle /joint (whatever). Helpful Hubby checked oil level and it was still up there. But it kept leaking. Noted that I hadn't paid attention to fact the left joint was covered in residual...

Hey -- maybe someone answered this already. Can't find it searching. Is there any plus to filling the front tires with water / antifreeze mix? We have a YM2000D. Rear tires are weighted with water/anti-freeze mix (tubes in, original tires). Hubby was fixing slow leak in one of my front...

Hey y'all -- I found a thread / post a while back about how to fill the tires with the water / methanol mix. I have done a search and can't locate it (?!) now? What I need is info on the hook up and how to utiliize our 15 gallon sprayer tank to do the filling. Anyone remember that post...

Well, when we bought our terrific tractor 18 months ago the rear tires (ag -- with the big lugs) had some big old cracks but being reassured by y'all we moved along. Our recent radiator replacement went well and a week or so ago I spent 3 hours bush hogging my little heart away with an engine...

Hubby pulled old radiator off our YM2000D. Got the new hoses, fanbelt and radiator. Discovered the chinese made replacement radiator (Hoye) does not have the clips for the screen. :confused: Any ideas? Hubby is going to cobble up a solution, but if someone has already done this, that would...

Hey y'all -- Some of you may remember last year my "new" 2000D was running hot. The light would come on (no gauge). We did the flushes (brown results, all the time), the wetter (or whatever that red stuff is), keeping the screen clean, etc. The warning light will come on everytime I use...

Hey -- Curious here. I have been looking at previous threads concerning pallet forks & hay spears. We will be looking to move 4x4 round bales (~400lbs - 500 lbs?) 1. Pros and cons - bucket pallet forks -- clamp on or chain on? 2. Pallet forks - 3 pt on adaptor versus bucket forks. Our...

Sorry I am double posting -- put this over on the general projects list, but thought one of youse here might have the know-how: We are thinking of adding a little boom sprayer to a 15 gallon tank to spread herbicide in our pasture. (Death to Buttercups!) Have found some great DIY directions...

We are thinking of adding a little boom sprayer to a 15 gallon tank to spread herbicide in our pasture. (Death to Buttercups!) Have found some great DIY directions online -- question is -- Our tank has a 1 gpm rate. Will that be enough to handle a small 2 nozzle boom? Thanks.

Hi guys -- I've been quiet because I've been bush hogging (6 acres done. Wonderful!) I can't tell you how great it is to mow through the feral florabunda (multiflora) and blackberries -- vicious plants they are -- and leave their remains laying shredded behind me... That being said ... I...

I can't find the post I thought I just posted. :confused: Bush hogged today. :) Fun. Problem: Temp light came on after about 20 minutes. :( Before going out we had cleaned the screen in front of the radiator, blew out the air filter, and the level of the radiator water was fine. Came...

OK guys -- hope someone's online. I am heading out to try the bush hog. I know I have read something online ... maybe even seen something ... about the right way to do this. (Saw one example where the front of the bush hog held about 2" higher than the rear ...) So -- what's the deal. I did...

Here's another question: YM2000D hour meter had stopped running last month. Tach works. Husband hasn't got to it, but he plans to see if it's a simple fix. It is a cable? Would be good to have it running so we can keep track of maintenance. Thanks! :)

This is the new owner's spinoff from my previous post on comparing the YM1700 and the YM2000 :) When I was checking my very cool tractor-to-be out the owner said sometimes it diesels when shutting it down. California wrote back then "YM2000 is stopped by pulling the throttle to zero which...

Okay guys -- What's with the YM 2000BD vs the YM G 2000D vs the most referenced generic YM 2000D? Comparing the different comparisons (all 4 WD) from a couple different sources: HP Wgt Sold 2000BD 4 WD 22 2...

Mitsubishi D1650 1601-FD 1850 - FD Tractor hunting. Any info / feedback on these Mitsubishi's (which don't seem to be very numerous) will be appreciated.

Looking at these two. What are the points I should be considering? Thanks.

Looking for used compact for our small horse farm. (Don't have a lot of $, never heard that before, have you?) First tractor, though husband has worked on MF (gas) a few years back. And our truck is diesel. Going to look at a B8200 4wd , hi/lo 3 speed w 5' loader, rigger box, 5' scrape box...
