Here is my experience. I stopped charging. The tests checked out that the VR was bad but when I swapped that it didn't work. From the tests it looked like the alternator was bad. Ordered a new alt from Rock Auto and installed a new VR that I also purchased there and it works now and charges. I...

It won't catch water.

Yep exactly!

Never blew that seal out before. But I had the original three point valve explode internally. I forget what happened to it at this point. I would have to find it and look again? That lead to the whole 3pt valve replacement ordeal which lead to me getting two bad valves from Hoye in a row before...

This is irrelevant to that spring pressure or the tab that connects to that silver button. I'm talking about the seal around that silver button on the valve. That's what popped out. Wish I would have thought to take a picture of what happened.

I was under the impression that the o rings on these tractors are Japanese spec which is different from metric. Now some of these on these tractors you can get by with using a metric o rings and I can confirm that the fuel filter o ring is one of those that you can get by with a metric o ring. I...

After I disked the garden a few days ago I rinsed the polled off the tractor and then backed it into the carport to tighten a loose bolt on the disk. I did and pulled it back to the shed. There was some mud and water as I expected. I swept the dirt up and saw the "wet spot" . Later that night...

Like I said you have no compression... possibly holes in pistons from ether. Really do a compression test to make sure but I don't believe you have enough compression to run and start. If your seeing white smoke your getting fuel how much I have no idea, enough to run, again I have no idea but I...

I don't either but it is white. I'm around enough old ratty logging equipment and heavy equipment and trucks to see it.

I don't know if much of the lower 48 has been cold enough recently where a healthy diesel won't light off and catch without thermostart? Maybe if he was trying first thing in the morning on certain days in the upper portions of the country maybe?

White smoke starting is unburned fuel. If your pour diesel into coals in a fire it will put out white smoke. The black smoke when one is under heavy load is raw unburned fuel basically being blown out of the exhaust.

I skipped to the bottom but I would guess that it has no compression or engine damage taking that long to start. My guess is that previous owners and you as well have used either and it's now dependent on it to start do to weak compression or damage unfortunately.

Thank you! I was hacked and the wacko went and posted all kinds of stuff for sale. I live in the south, never lived out of SC I rarely see snow let alone have now removal equipment! I never lost control of my account but once I realized it was compromised I changed passwords.

This is a scam post!!! I didn't post it though I was hacked!!! This should be removed of a mod sees this.

This is no good reason to kill these documents or arrange the website like it is now. I still don't get it. If I had a list of parts it would take me forever to find them on the site like they have it organized now. Defies logic and makes zero sense? For the life of me I just don't understand...

I was going to say the same thing. I don't know how you can adjust camber? It's a king pin type setup but there is nothing to adjust on this.

Only reason I ask is it take a alot to get even a 2wd tractor stuck and to be like that and bushhogging that are you would be almost borderline swamp.

Was it so wet that you couldn't just drive through it without the difflock?

You won't turn or will have a very very hard time turning with the diff lock engaged. Maybe in very loose soil will it turn where the inside tire can just churn and the fronts get enough dig to turn the machine? I use my difflock while pulling my disk when it buried deep and pulling hard. It...

So it sounds like your no longer going to offer the parts Diagrams to help customers locate a part? It sounds as if you are now hoping to sell parts books to folks? I go back to my example if I am trying to buy a part that I do not know the name for yet can point to it on a diagram I am...

Hmm that's weird I will check again. Oh well thanks and I'm sorry for this to anyone wanting to buy my fake crap:ROFLMAO:. Password is changed and until they guess this one I guess I won't have any more weird posts under my name

I sure do have an awful lot of snow removal equipment who was born and raised on the SC coast! I now live in the Piedmont of SC but have never lived out of the state!:ROFLMAO: There is no need for this stuff here.

Hmm, I don't see the post in my thread history about the blade? I believe you but when I click threads created by me I just see this snowblower and pug aerator. Yea the guys shipping fees also are too good to believe. It costs me like $30-40 to ship a chainsaw the cheapest way can't imagine an...

Oh I will add...I wish that was my shop that snowblower is sitting in!!:ROFLMAO:. I could care less about the snow blower. I just want that clean big concrete floor shop!

No the same day they tried to sell an lawn aerator. I think only one person responded to that one? But other than that those were the only posts. I had a PM from a guy I answered tonight about the snowblower saying it was fake that's what drew my eye to it. Nothing that I had caught though...

Tractor with boom pole or bucket and a few half hitches and it will grab and pull it out

I just saw this. I was hacked! I live in SC I have never touched a snowblower let alone have one for sale! :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO: I hope none of you guys got too far along with this scammer!!:rolleyes: Edit: Password changed .

Think he posted as he knew the deal was eminent.

"can't ship to California" :ROFLMAO:What that seat heater thing made of:unsure:!

If you pull it apart a hydraulic shop will find the parts you need. A real hydraulics shop..not a Napa that sells hydraulic hoses or something :ROFLMAO:

Maybe that's what was going on. I think in this thread somewhere I had said the diagrams are still there I had just looked. I have one of the pages bookmarked or either leave the window open on my phone. I wonder if that's how I got there. And the next time I went there was just a list of the...

Don't worry about the oil it is NOT your problem and has zero to do with your issue. Sounds almost like you need a starter rebuild if I understood what I read. Sounds like it's just spinning and the bendix is not jumping out. Well I say rebuild, but it's really just a bad solenoid probably.

I'm sure someone else has said it by now. Don't stop your engine with the decompression lever...many have said it's not good, there is a potential for valves to hit. I myself don't see how they would hit at higher RPM yet not hit at low starting RPM? Anyone folks that know more than me said not...

They have totally redesigned their website I noticed but it's still not as easy to shop as Hoye once was. Right now I can't seem to recall how it was organized though? I know previously I was thinking they had some digital shopabilty to their site which I know like 15 years ago it was almost...

No longer having the parts Diagrams clickable with links to those parts makes shopping there very inefficient and or impossible now. Say I didn't know what to call a part. Without the diagram to click that part to get to it I am just randomly looking through pages and pages of parts hoping to...

I think it's because people use Facebook as a forum and they post and share stuff there. That's where the never generations go there and ticktock and of course YouTube. I myself use YouTube but not those others. Facebook I am not in but I do not think it even lays out in the same format, easily...

Of course NOT there loading their fields up with mines and or turning it into a battlefield and they cannot plant or harvest crops. They just want to make a living!

I don't understand that at first but now that you saying this. I guess they also own Yesterday's tractor forum? If makes sense they are doing this if they combining many smaller less used forums to a larger one, they save on software and admin costs I guess? I am failing to see how this is...

Thanks. I would imagine if you can trim out or combine all 33 pages for the YM2000 it would probably still be email-able size. Like I said there probably not that high quality or large of a file size.

I sure wish that was digital! I'd send you a thumb drive to load it onto for me and pay shipping both ways for it. Well I really only want the ym2000. If it's 33 pages. There probably not that high resolution. I wonder how many would fit in an email? Maybe we can figure out the postage and I...

If you read my post a few up from this message I'm quoting, you probably know who I am...or at least remember me and that issue with the two defective three point lift valves!:ROFLMAO: Probably narrows it way down!

I fear something like that might of been planned. For the most part the parts from Hoye Tractor were not outrageously priced. Many items were a good deal I thought especially with the support that was provided before and after the sale. I bought a three point valve from Aaron. Basically to keep...

Just Saw this post. I was trying to get on there a few weeks ago and it looks like the site totally changed and no longer shows them. Just like lists of parts of I remember right? It was super useful for working on the tractor to look at the exploded views of the assemblies. Also helped In...

I was just there and saw the diagrams?

A 60” BXPanded snow plow used in good condition. Some surface rust but I will be sand blasting and painting before winter. $400+200 shipped, pm me please.

Hello! I need to sell my BX2750D snowblower This snowblower assembly includes; -Snowblower -Quick attach drive cradle -Driveshaft -Dash switch Snowblower has the hydraulic chute swivel and electric chute actuator. It is approximately 12 years old but has been used 7 of the 12 years. It is...

Hello: I moved to my current property ten years ago, which is all hills, and I have not used it in those ten years, so I though that I would thin the herd of tractor implements and clear some space in my shed. I have a Kioti AE20-48 Plug Aerator for sale. The price is $400+100 shipped 48. firm...

Sure no thermostat can cause something to actually run hotter under certain circumstances but as a whole it shouldn't, it should run normal or even slightly cooler. I'm just guessing here but I'd say you have a bad head gasket. Maybe not enough to leak water into the cylinders bad enough to...

Maybe since just yesterday morning :ROFLMAO: It rains all the time is SE Asia!

:cry::cry:

If this is about the rear axle seal, the outer one I have a post showing and detailing that job on a YM2000 here on this site.

Make sure you get that drum smooth as you can if it's rusty it will chew those shoes up quick and you will need to readjust them. There not like automotive brakes where they self surface themselves well.

I would have to look at the parts diagram to understand your question about the brake housing O rings as I can't think of the answer off the top of my head. But the PTO is a whole unit and comes out the back as a unit. Hoye has a video on YouTube that shows the pto removal and I believe they...

These are the same reasons why people don't run whale oil and straight 10w, 20w or 30w in old vintage tractors. These multigrade oils didn't exist back in the day if they did you would see them included in original literature because they are superior oils . As for would a 5w vs a 15w oil start...

From what Carey said all those 2000 models are the same frame and axle. The 2000,2001,2002, 2020,2010,2210 etc. Not sure if you followed that or knew.

I was going to say you could cut new threads for the next bigger one or jam one in. It's not correct but all your doing is trying to get grease in there .

That's very good to hear!! I have to ask what are people doing to break these housings or loose them? How do you loose large parts of your tractor OR why are they hitting it so hard to break it? Really a serious question.

There are some Japanese standard parts I know, I'm not sure though? The o rings in these tractors are Japanese spec. There not metric or SAE. Sometimes you can get one or the other ti work but for a critical one you need to get the correct japanese o ring the other will cut or blow out.

Congratulations, looks like your the new owner of a Ford 2000!

With all that fence it either looks like the boundary of a military installation, or a school or prisons.🤣

Well the discussion has been what happened in the last year . We all knew them it had lots of tractors around it, that's when Aaron owned it. The fear was that now they were all sold/cleared off and that source of used parts has dried up. But if the new owners are not willing to pull parts off...

A Ford 2000 is A LOT more tractor than a YM240/2000!!

It's just money I'm sure for the right price they would. But I have no idea. Before when Aaron was running it I bet they would.

Wish @Scottydive would come back and let us know how his tractor has held up over the years!

Yea he is here he has reported to at least one thread since letting us know. His name here is aaronM. Not saying he can get the guy one just that maybe he can enlighten him on the parts and construction used. If it's parts off a larger tractor or not. Maybe a copy of a heavier models beam with...

What model is this even for?

I believe the spindles were just the hD versions that they once made and mag still have and they were probably just welded to a stronger axle? Hoye designed and built a lot of newer and or better parts. But it's like once that initial run was sold they never ordered more. Maybe it cost too much...

Yea I noticed the street and sat view both had parts tractors around back and on the side .

That's not reassuring that those parts tractors are no longer around the building. I fear like an earlier poster mentioned they are probably auctioned off, maybe they will go to another parts yard (where though) or sadly they may all be scrapped!

The tire for sure mark up the ground when it's wet. I have plenty of marks in mine from trying to get into the garden when it's a little to early, bubi just wanted to get it done even though it was a little too wet. Making the turn around the cleats tracked up the yard. When the drone is dry...

All old tires lasted way better than today. Many old American tractors are riding on tires from the 50,60,70s! Sure the lugs are not as deep so they can actually wear out faster when used but just strutting the old tires will last way longer than these new junk rubber tires will. I believe the...

Yea at that price it makes sense. But today there $135 each. When new tires are $198 per this thread so I personally would buy new tires.

The problem with those recliners/boots is that there like 60-70% the cost of a new tire. I know they were cheaper when you purchased them, but in today's economy with today's prices I'm not sure that's a wise price. Seems like it's spending good money for bad.

When Aaron was in charge I never had a problem getting a price or used items. That may have changed though?

Yea it could I guess. There has to be one out there. Shouldn't be that rare.

Isn't there a way to see a snap shot of the web from years ago? Like a snapshot of what was on at a certain time. So like we could go back to January 1 2023 when pages were up if they were to take them down for good today.

It was the cover. It's basically just a cast cover that bolts to the housing. It's convex from the outside and has a spot in it where the brake lever goes through it.

Man I hate to hear that. Is their customer service as good as it was? I know Aaron was very accessible and easy to geat ahold of and very knowledgeable and helpful everytime I needed questions answered or problems addressed. My last order must of been right before he sold cause it was about that...

What's also is hard to believe is that some of these parts are so scarce. I know these tractors are reliable but it's been 20 years since they imported these things like crazy. I have seen those pics of the lots with thousands of them parked. They still sell them to this day just not at the rate...

Oh man I missed something here? I guess I didn't know it was sold!! Does Aaron still work there? Was he an owner or just manager or something?

Hoye didn't have one or maybe they didn't want to part with one. I would find that hard to believe as much stuff as they have they don't have one laying around.

Well stand on it is probably overstating the force I was actually applying to the lever. For sure I wasn't actually standing on it with all my weight. Sometimes applying more force than others , but far from putting all 200lbs on it!!

All of this worry was for nothing. I hope out there and back out of my shed and put it in second gear to try and test the diff lock step in it, it locks in and about sends me through the fence as I couldn't turn:ROFLMAO:. Slowed down and took my foot off it and stopped backed up an bit and then...

I have an old school k10 with the NP205 transfer case. Yes that's the holy grail one that all the off road guys want. It's the all gear driven one. Sometimes you can't get it out of 4wd and to get it to come out of 4hi I let off the break to start creeping forward and it pops right out.

Your thinking about the o ring is the same as mine. If it's free which mine is it's sealed so it's not doing anything by spraying it. And yes it does run over to the far side I was thinking it's just to clear a gear or something and where the slave that locks them just happens to be on the far...

I hate I didn't realize or have this on my radar last year when I had the whole PTO unit out and bull gear and axle out of the left side. Looking up in there I might of been able to see something. I may have to look back through my pics I took several last year while in there for future...

No. It's not wet brakes. There in a sealed compartment, if there wet for any reason you have a serious problem!:ROFLMAO:

In the last few months I have shifted through most of the gears, not since I lined obviously. I have prepped the garden with it and used all the gears on the high range and I believe not that long ago I used a few on the low side at least.

I will spray the spot where it enters the case, but it pivots down and up a little bit just won't go all the way down to the floorboard like it does when it engages.

Right I forgot about that. It steers left or right as normal.

The last few times I have tried to use the dif lock it's not working, it will slightly go down but kind of springy but not go to the floor board. I can't tell if it's stuck engaged but I think it might be, j just started thinking this was the case recently and not paid it much attention, j need...

I believe that is a paraphrased quote I read from Aaron from Hoye from years ago!

Hey and welcome here!

That's one of those tractors that you have to be an electrical engineer to figure out the schematics and diagnose if something goes wrong.

I started following him when he got that tractor. I was anxiously waiting to see the rebuild. I forgot about him and have still yet to watch the series. One day I need to start it.

Did you have to swap pulleys? I had to as there was a good bit of difference in them. Also was this a rebuilt? Reason I ask is that it's not going to be a Mitsubishi anymore, just the china guts in a Mitsubishi case. When I worked in auto parts our reman suits might say anything. It was our...

I see it's a PowerShift. Is the fluid at the correct level?

Are clutch linkages still connected? Maybe broke it mashing the clutch petal? Just random guess? Although if the clutch wasn't working it would be making all kinds of grinding noises when you try to shift it.

If you want I can make a video of what 00 Grease is and post it on my YouTube and link it hear. I think about half the folks here seem to know what it is and others don't. It's not like wheel bearing or chassis grease. You can't put a dollop in your hand and turn it upside down and it stay. If...

I forget what I paid at Rock Auto? I have had no trouble since replacing my Alternator and Regular though. Ran about three gallons of fuel through the tractor last weekend and this week, bush hogging my fields and disking the garden under where I had corn and pumpkins and water melons planted.

Grease can get sling to the outside and won't flow to where it's needed. That's my only thought.

80w90 is gear oil? 00 Grease won't hurt it. Especially since your probably like a lot of us and use it for a little bit a few times a year. It's not like grease that you grease u joints with. It will stick and bind and flow into bearings that are submerged in it.

Well first things first is the gear box filled with 80w90 or similar weight gear oil now? 00 Grease is also called corn head grease or corn spindle grease. It's basically liquified grease. You can pour it, it comes from Tractor Supply Company in a gear oil bottle. Basically you can make...

Have you tried 00 Grease instead of 80w90? 00 is a flowable grease.

Ha, should of looked at Hoyes sire first. It's called a cylinder head end plate. And it does have a gasket back there. Maybe one day when I need a small filler project I will drain the coolant down a bit and then reseal that plate.

Hey I have been gone for awhile. A week turns to a month turns to 6 months pretty fast. Will try to check in a little more often. There appears to be coolant leaking from the small square plate on the back of the head.. I haven't looked at my Yanmar service manual yet to see if it mentions it...

Mad I'd be there in a heartbeat.....it would be tough to come across the country to get a free tractor with $5 a gallon gas! Haha

Which model has 20zerks for a 2wd!!!??? I swear my 2000 has like half that?

The Purolator is today's fram. They apparently have had a bunch of bad filters with tears and poor quality and unsealed pleats. I use to seek out Purolator cause they were good and affordable but after seeing many pictures of them and hearing how many people found them with pleats that are...

Yea I'd price out the implements, and them maybe a couple hundred for a tractor with a possible bad engine.

Yea I will do a lot for many people but I go with the tractor . And I especially won't load a tractor out for the spring and part of summer , that's crazy that's tractor season. That said I do borrow some neighbors/friends tractor. I borrow if I have something I need a loader for or if I was...

Nah, I have been around this for 20 years. And I see timber sales in some pretty rural parts of our state. Now who I work for they probably wouldn't just drop the oil on site, but with that said I don't see it happening in the same period on private land either. You will see busted hydraulic...

@California wants that hood I bet!

I figured that must of been a new Yanmar or some other tractor with a Yanmar engine. Didn't even remotely recognize that model! 🤣

Anywhere besides the overpriced Carquest is at least 30 minute drive for me. And that town does have a TSC. But anything else I just pick up while I pass at work or in another trip somewhere. I drive about 35,000 miles a year through most of this state and a small part of Georgia. Other than big...

The TSC Traveller brand of "Premium Universal Tractor Trans/hydraulic oil" meets those specs.

I wouldn't worry about getting the injector in 9f you got it out. Bleeding air shouldn't be hard as said at worse you need to crack the line till fuel is present the tighten it.

I thought you did mention to fill it, well someone did and I seconded that as well. Cause like you I read it somewhere, not a technical manual I don't think unless it was the Yanmar shop manual for the ym240 I have. But I swear the directions on Hoyes sight say to fill the fuel tank. I'm not...

How can the bleeder be "above the level of the fuel tank" don't all these tractors have a fuel tank at the top and right under the hood just or just other side of the dash and the injection pump is on the side or lower front of the engine? I guess you could have a pump up higher on the front and...

Fill the tank up, follow the procure you already did. It will work. As said the tank is above the pump, gravity does the rest.

Those still have plenty of life left. I have never understood people who shy away from cracks in Ag tires. If they were on my combine and I farmed for a living that's one thing. But like 99% of us on here are hobbyish type guys. Not to say a flat wouldn't inconvenience us but that a day lost is...

The south is full of Yanmars as well!!!!

Yep, tall pattle lugs. I forget their R ? Like maybe 5 or 6?

If it was a new to me Machine I'd just change the hydro fluid. Black Friday TSC will have their Premium Trans/hydraulic tractor fluid on sale for I think I saw $37 or maybe it was $47..I think it's the lesser cause I think it's normally only $45-50. My reasoning is you have no idea what's in...

These brakes are very simple. Also it's not easy to roll these small tractors if there on anything besides concrete. The brake rods just pull on a shaft that cams over and spreads the shoes into the drum. I also have a very long thread about getting one of my brakes unstuck. There notorious...

I wasn't trying to say your wrong just throw in what I recalled as the power outputs. I didn't look it up either, just from what I recalled. If tractor Data says engine HP is 20 someone screwed up. That is 20 PTO HP. And we all know the 24 HP engine number for the YM2000/YM240 cause the data...

My boss when he lived in the country had a JD1020 which was a 60s era JD row crop tractor. I believe it's in the 30hp range. He basically 99% finish mower his yard with it, once a week, now that was like 6 or 7 acres of grass but if I remember right he used something crazy like 10 to 20 gallons...

There is a difference between power steering fluid and ATF but there really shouldn't be. Its just a hydraulic system and that's basically what both of them are anyway. Not sure why someone decided they needed to think up another type of oil. Just use AFF that's specked for that vehicle...

To the OP I think the 226 will perform what you want better than the smaller 1300 which is more of a tilling tractor.

The one difference is weight. Ballasted up an N will weight 2x what a ym2000 will weigh which it was designed to pull ground engaging equipment in row crop operations and that weight will allow it to out pull out Yanmars. But we probably can outperform an N with the torque and effeciency of the...

I believe it's detergents and additives that's are put into it to creep clean and hang around.

I think it may have some from something old school way prior to the internet. Probably some home handyman, machinist or hobby magazine. Don't forget the internet is not that old and unless someone scanned hundreds of years of publications 8nto it they don't "exist" sincere not on the...

The ATf used as a penetrating oil is pretty well known, the acetone will carry it in even further as it thins it out even more. I mentioned it as well.

Get some automatic transmission fluid and pour it over the area that is supposed to move. If you have some acetone you can mix it 50:50 to help it creep more. And the latter can be put in a spray bottle to apply as a penetrating oil. ATF is pretty good crud knocker loose and lubricating oil . If...

Used the disk harrow this evening for 30 mins or so. This was what was in when I heard the noise. Anyway no noise when pulling it or carrying it around lifted.

There good solid tractors. Just keep your maintenance up. If you bush hog a lot in tall grass that has seeds and stuff make sure that you check to make sure the radiator is clear of the debris. That is an easy way to overheat these tractors and blow a head gasket. That particular model I don't...

I filled it with oil this morning and ran it around. Just driving it different speeds without an implement right now, no noise heard. Let's hope it stays that way. Before it was easily autible over the engine running.

Because I use RTV for most stuff. I had it on hand, didn't have to buy it. And maybe it's me and I don't know how to use gaskets but I have had leaks useing them...if I'm smearing them with RTV I don't see the point in useing the gasket. But that's just me.

Ok, I finally got around to sealing the PTO back in the tractor. One day I'll fill with oil and make sure it works. But I don't have time for that right now.

Yea there is a good group here. Carey is the only one here I have personally me. Great guy.

I test fit the PTO . I would say the hardest part I guess would be to get the PTO lever in the PTO fork. You can see that shiney nub in gap between PTO and tractor. I took the below picture so that you can see the shift lever on the left . Look at the top of the PTO cover and on the left side...

I just use the part numbers for the long filter that I need. I use the wix or carquest number and buy them when I need them. The last ones I got off rock auto. Used the wix number and added a few closeout WIX filters to my order for a few dollars apiece. If you order from Hoye you will receive...

Not if he put the pint into his tractor out of that bucket over the last 10 years or whenever.

You also realize that the fluid is how your bearings are lubed as well. Oil breaks down on heat and cooling cycles. I personally would change it at a minimum of the listed interval. I change mine now a days every 5 years..maybe a bit longer .

Its a wear collar that slips over the axle and the seal rides on it. Its a sacrificial surface so you don't have to replace an axle shaft that's grooved. Look a few posts up where the shaft is wrapped in blue towels, the new bearing on it and just to the outside of it by the splines you see the...

Here is the picture of the seal collar I installed 9 or 10 years ago. I have probably averaged 15 to 20 hours a year over that period, so around 100 hours maybe on this collar. Now this was an aftermarket one not Yanmar original so maybe it's softer? I think it's pretty hard metal though. It...

Haha, I suspected that might have been the case. Just messing with you. Thanks!(y)

Not sure you knew but your "rebuilder" is in Vietnam. The place you bought it is just a importer/dealer. Or just dealer. But follow the others advice on this.

Yep it was a wet year. Not sure how this relates to this thread or this repair...but:p:ROFLMAO::LOL:

Ok I finially got to this yesterday. I got the axle back in the tractor and bull gear back on wheel ready to go on and torque the bull gear down. While the bearing slipped out on the inside it would not go in more than 1/4" into the inside housing even getting what taps I could with a dead...

Parts came in this week while I was away at a continuing Ed class. Came on time via UPS this time. My order was filed under USPS insurance as lost and reshipped by Hoye. I paid more to ship UPS this time and to hopefully have it sooner than 2 weeks the USPS seems to take when they actually...

I'm not either but I could see it. It was $500 and it's sold. Someone got a deal.

Or to tighten it up it's just a turnbuckle!😉🤣

Good ol Norm!:LOL:

There is a piece you need. I think it's triangular in shape. Several have posted about this pice before in the past and say you really need to use it for the tiller to work and not hit the tires when lifted. I think you can fab up something not cut the shaft as you have said. I can't remember...

Often time they were run for 30 years before they got here. Often times with gear boxes half filled with water from a leaky seal. They still work fine. Some of the worse cases need a commonly available off the shelf bearing and a new seal . Proof of the durability despite some abuse in a past life.

Made in Japan when things were made quality or Made in China where there made as fast and cheap as possible.

Nit picking here but he had one of those YM2001 or 2002 models or was it a 2003? I know the 01 and 02 exist

Yea that was a long lengthy thread. I remember that and it was a good one

I thought I remembered what you said. I always thought it was a highly sought after model in that size and was very popular.

Just an update. I ordered parts October 1. Against my better judgement I went with USPS and didn't pay the $8 more for UPS shipping. Right now my parts are still sitting in a Ft Worth Texas distribution center or somewhere else " en route to the next destination" . They made it there Oct 1 and...

Who was the why who built the custom wood dash cause his was so trashed. I think he had a 336 maybe? Was it Domush? Or was it somebody else? The guy I think had a busted gear in the trans or something did a whole in frame rebuild. He was into that tractor a lot. Everyone around here for 10 or...

Have you checked to see if Hoye has one?

This was all well prior to 2014. Mine was methonol one cause I remember looking it up and two cause the parts store counter kid made a joke to my wife (who picked up my order) what were we going to do with all this washer fluid, make Meth!!??? I have no idea how to make meth but I don't think...

That's good!! Around here it's around $0.30 difference.

I used winter formula windshield washer fluid because economically it came out to be less. I bought it at Advanced Auto and I was able to use a like $20 off online coupon on it as well.

Don't the arms on the old age tractors the age of the Ford Ns and old MF and JD tractors through the 60s don't those lift arms go almost to the ground?

Engine lift/cherry picker.

Fill the tires you can get 200# that way easy with windshield washer fluid or antifreeze. If you have a block of metal sitting there how can you use the bush hog, you won't be able to hook the pto shaft up?

If you left it in 4wd

Ummm, that I'm pretty sure has a three digit hour meter. That could be 1100 2100, or turned back when it was "reconditioned" it was turned back. That tractor is 40ish years old I doubt it really has only 100 hours.

I see a lot of 2210s on this site and for sale. Didn't realize they were not as common a model

A 2210 is a pretty common tractor. I bet pretty much everything you need can be had? I'm sure the big gears up front might be harder to find but you would really have to abouse it to destroy the actual gears I would think 🤔?

You have the 10 series? Did you mean you have a 2220 maybe? Not sure if the later exists? I guess it does?

If your just talking about "a several hundred pound blob" for a rear ballest weight, that's not much. Pretty much any implement will weigh more than several hundred pounds. I have a pretty light duty 4ft box blade. Its my lightest thing and I would guess it to be around 250 pounds. The heaviest...

I get that I get that Here too. Not just RVs but all kinds of trailers, and storage sheds.

Yea you stole it for that value. Would have been an amazing deal for just the tractor and it had a loader!!

Yep less CL around here and more FB. But that leaves us out who don't have it. I think most people only use FB now a days to sell stuff? I don't have it, I have to get my wife to post stuff or look for stuff for me.

@Cardoc who use to frequent these forums till he was run off with bickering about something I believe that was unrelated to the topic at hand I believe. Has a 3110 or 3810 and has for years. I know he uses it for all kinds of stuff and loves it. I still talk to him on e or twice a year. Great...

He knows about them😉! That's where his current YM2000 came from!

Its also called inflation. But also yes beyond that it's increased regulation and complexity of the engines required today that have made model tractors less reliable, and durible over the years that makes people want a more simple but capable machine. I think if you look these things have...

I was going to bring this up. If you catch the soil just right you can get by with just rippers on a box blade. I have ripped part of my garden in clay soil before and then planted it. I took a shovel in each plants location when I put plants in and broke it up a little bit in a loamy clay...

I think some JD wheels might fit? Maybe look there. Have you called Hoye? They have parts tractors and would imagine they have a few floating around...unless there a lot of people needing them and they sold them? I can't imagine wheels being that needed of an item?

If you have ever tried to till hard compacted soil you would understand the ripping first. It beats the tiller to death and is very tough on it. You don't have to do it, it seems to help go deeper faster if it's been ripped prior. I have done both. 4ft is fine for the tractor, it probably even...

That tractor should run a 4ft tiller fine.

These are special times. This is stuff they collect on like amnisty days. It would usually be handled as hazardous waste so by letting people take useable products and use them they do not have to pay hazmat disposable fees on that much product. The army bases I have worked at do the same thing...

All the diesel and HHO is the same these days.

No I was talking about my individual posts that were in my own post that I quoted. 5his is about the only forum on here I vitit these days. Use to go to the rural living and trailers but no so much anymore

Did a mod combine these posts? I swear I responded to each one at a totally different time:unsure:

Should it be "Dat soon"?

I never clicked the link and I had no idea of the price. This is the first I heard that. My answer is RUN from that for that price and look at Fredrick's. If it were $3500 or 4000 I would VERY seriously consider the posted tractor. But no reason to buy a used VN machine (even if proven)for...

I remember this too where people would have two tanks. One to start and stop and one to run on

School busses use ON road though 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I get what your saying. The ym2000 and all machines of that era have the 3 digit hour meters. I don't deny that more VN machines have problems than ones from Fredericks. Back in the day the price difference was small, today I am not sure what it is. I guess my point is, I know you have seen the...

I'm not saying this has not occurred, I have read a few posts with things that don't make sense. But after being around here for more than a decade, I don't believe it happens as often as people talk about. That said if your one that gets a tractor with random parts it will make buying...

Depends on the price of the tractor. That's a classic VN tractor. The loaders at one point we're also labeled as V2 over the years. Another competing importer had Bulldog brand loaders. But if it's been run a bunch of hours. I see the filter says 250 hours. Its probably ok a problem would have...
