I opened up a new 60x25 plot on a side lot yesterday. The grass is mostly fescue, but it's been plowed under with my 19" bottom plow. I don't plan or need to plant this year, but want to get it going for next Spring. Will repeated plowing/tilling eventually burn through the root regrowth and...

The last time I had my tire off the rim was badly rusted. I already replaced the front rims with the new ones from Hoye years ago (kept the old ones for spares). Hoye doesn't offer 22" rear rims. I found a site in new zealand that (used?) to sell 22" yanmar rims, but the product listing...

Been looking on google for a while and can't find a peddler of replacement shanks for a heavy duty pulverizer. The shanks are the large style, about 13" long and 1.5" wide with a 7/8" hole in the middle for mounting. Anyone know where I can buy some replacements? Need 20 of them.

On the top of my Caroni tiller there are two plates with holes drilled - these sit on the top center of the tiller and look like they would be used to possibly mount an accessory such as a better or furrower. Has anyone seen a bolt-on bedder attachment that can be mounted directly to a PTO...

I have a line on a couple tractors, one of which is a International 340 loader. The man selling it said that the engine is locked up from sitting 10 years - he mentioned something about water getting in the cylinders - no idea what I'd be getting into there. He did say the engine was rebuilt...

Trying to hunt down a snow blade for a 1601d and am not having a lot of luck. Did Yanmar ever make such an attachment? I have a YM80 Koyker loader now, but it's got the pin-on bucket and I can't find anyone who makes a plow blade for the loader frame. Cleared snow last year with the bucket &...

Anyone found a way to upgrade the stock headlights to HID, without mounting new lights on the hood somewhere?

Long story short, I lost my gas cap over the weekend. (Have a 1601d) Are these yanmar caps "universally" sized, or has anyone used one from a specific car in a pinch? I don't have time to wait, lots of work to do today.

My foot throttle lever is very hard to press down. It was smooth as silk when I bought the tractor a year & a half ago. The hand lever is also harder to move back and forth than it used to be. I took some of the covers off tonight to see if I was missing a zerc fitting - didn't find a...

Anyone know where I can get this bolt: 7/16" hardened hex bolt (grade 8) 1 1/4" length Important: I need 1/2" of the bolt shouldered. That's the hard part.. most shorter length hex bolts have threads all the way to the head. Have to have the 1/2 shoulder for the application. (fwiw...

Anyone have the correct torque amount for the 4wd axle housing bolts (6 of them) on a Yanmar 1601d?

Northern stopped selling the king kutter compact subsoiler.. anyone else still sell this?

Hi -- I'm in the market for a bedder / hiller attachment. I've looked at the Leinbach, and two others on the market. Do I need to be concerned with overall weight of the bedder? Will lighter bedders not work as well? What about ones with shanks/sweeps added in -- are these necessary...

Who sells tines for a "1200" tiller made in Italy. The only ID number is "FLB1200" - it is a 54" chain driven, offset tiller.

Two track shafts on a track loader are frozen due to previous owner not greasing. I've been soaking the zerk fitting holes for days, but the pb-blaster is not even starting to penetrate. Has anyone used a porta power to force lightweight fluid (aka kroil/pbb) into zerk holes? Is there an...

A machine I bought has a few zerk fittings that wouldn't take oil. I replaced the fittings, but still no grease going into the shaft. Solid dirt was packed where the grease normally goes. The shaft is attached to a frame and is not a bolt & replace part. I cleaned the packed dirt from...

Earlier today while clearing brush, I ran over a bump and the engine started cutting out.. A moment later it died. It would start up for a second or two the first couple of tries, then it wouldn't start at all. The machine ran fine all day on the same tank of gas (more than half a tank still...

While bush-hogging tonight my front left axle broke in two. It looks like this is the part I need: Looks like there are about 6 bolts that hold the outer cover on.. is it a simple "pull the old one out and put the new one in" job, or does the whole knuckle have to come apart? This is for...

Anyone have an unused rim they'd like to sell? Mine is the 4wd 1601d - it takes a 5x14 tire. A little rust is OK.. must be in good shape otherwise.

I've been trying to get my dealer to order parts for my Koyker 80 loader, but they appear to be too busy to call me back. Does anyone here sell Koyker parts? Please let me know.. ready to order.

I bought a new slip clutch for my yanmar. It comes assembled and greased so all I had to do was put it on the PTO and click it in place. So two days ago I hook up my tiller and run down a 40' row. At the end I pick up the tiller and start to back up - look down to see the pto shaft falling...

My mechanic said the joystick controller needs rebuilding on my Koyker 80 loader. Anyone know if Koyker makes rebuild kits? A new controller runs 400 dollars (!)

I am looking for a tractor umbrella with uv protection. The umbrellas I've found on Ebay do not have this woven into the umbrella fabric, so while I'm sitting in the "shade" my skin still burns. I burn very easy, and on hot days it is hard to keep working and putting on greasy sunblocker...

Hi all, I'm starting to notice a light ticking noise coming from the back of the tractor. It's most noticeable when I have my head right by the back of the seat, above the hitch arms. The sound isn't very loud, but I don't think it's been there before. My oil levels are good, and I change...

Hi how many acres per hour should I expect to cover with a 4' bush hog and a 20hp diesel compact? thanks.

I called Leinbach a couple weeks ago to buy a bedder. They told me that there wouldn't be any for 30 days or so. I didn't think to ask them then, but today I called back.. Leinbach do assemble their attachments here, but the steel they use comes from parts unknown. Since it takes 30 days for...

So what is involved in replacing a pto to gearbox seal on a Bush Hog brand rotary cutter? Is this something I can do without special tools & presses?

Tractor supply doesn't have any of the orange bush hogs for compacts, but they do have a 4' yellow bush hog. Has anyone used the 4' yellow cutter on a mid-sized Yanmar (1601, not the tiny 1400s).

Hi all, I bought a new top link from TSC a bit ago, and they had a grab bar taped to the side. Like this: The ends are flared out a bit, and it won't go directly into the hole. Is there a trick to getting the bar put on?

Hi all, I've noticed that my bucket starts to creep forward even when it is empty. It's not the main arms - they stay level. It's just the bucket that slowly curls out. What could the problem be?

I have to mow a neglected field with hundreds of 1/2" to 3/4" saplings. I have a 1601d yanmar.. will a 4' bush hog handle this if taken slowly?

Does this pricing seem high or fair, or too low? # Turn plow (14") followed by roto-tiller: $175 first acre, $125 each additional. # Turn plow (14") followed by disc harrow: $125 first acre, $100 each additional acre # Roto-tiller only: $125 first acre, $100 each additional # Disc harrow...

Does Koyker offer anything like a root rake for their compact front end loader packages? I have a tooth bar on my 42" bucket now - lifesaver. But I'd like to see if there is a shovel or heavy duty rake available, either as a bucket replacement or bolt on (like the tooth bar). Thanks!

Hi everyone.. The brand new "MIT" tires that with my 1601d lasted all of 100 hours before a stick ripped a hole in one. The lugs were worn down to about half of what they were when new (I do a lot of excavation and have to use 4wd..otherwise it takes twice as long). So I bought a set of...

Hi guys, someone is offering to sell a 3 point spreader for $150. It was used two years ago to spread fertilizer and was since parked without being washed off first. So there is a bit of surface rust, but all parts that are supposed to move still move. New ones cost $400-500 dollars at...

I have two choices for rotary cutters. The J-Bar is $650, and the Howse is $695. Which is the better buy? Thanks!

8" top link?

Has anyone tried replacing the wide middle-buster shank with a narrow sub-soiler point? I need to break up a section of rock-hard red clay next weekend and hoped to save buying yet another attachment for this job alone. thanks!

I noticed a small drip under the back end of my 1601d a couple months ago but couldn't find where it was coming from. Now that I've used the tractor a bit more (and used it in dusty conditions last weekend) I have a better idea, but I am still not completely sure. The leak is definitely...

Will my 1601d (20hp 4wd) pull a 2-bottom plow?

Hi, I was clearing brush with my 1601d this afternoon and managed to rip off my fuel bowl. Are Yanmar fuel bowls generic enough that NAPA would carry them?

Hi, I just bought a used YM1601D and have noticed problems. The loader bucket control acts funny - sometimes when I pull up on the lever (to make the bucket arms go down) it goes *up* instead. If I jiggle, it starts going down again. Also, the arms go up fine, and the bucket swings forward...

Does anyone know if I can buy longer ripper shanks for an LMC 4' box blade?

One of the trailer dealers said that I could lift my bucket a foot to make extra room in the front. I've seen the utility companies haul their tractors this way once in a while. But is it safe to drive with the loader up one or two feet in the air? Same for attachments in the back - is it...

My current 5x9 trailer barely fits in my drive, and I'm wondering if I can possibly skate by with a 12' long trailer if I hang the loader bucket over the front? I also pull with a Ranger V6, so I don't have the power to handle a 16 foot dual axle even though I'd like to (if it would fit in my...
