Mowing Belly Mower Help

[XmasTreeGrower]

I am trying to mount an original Yanmar YMM-45 belly mower under an 1100D.

The mower deck has never been used, and came with very little bracketry to mount to the tractor. My understanding that there were kits to mount these on US model 135s originally.

Does any one have an ownwers manual with a parts breakdown for the attaching bracketry and front PTO set up they could share, so I can see what I am up against?

Does anyone know if any factory parts are still available?

I have attached a picture of what little bit I have.

Thanks!
Bill

I have the owner/parts manual. Parts may be available. I think the front clutch maybe available.

Since gbirky hasn't chimed in yet, I'll give you the link to his web page, where he has some photos of his YM1301D with a YMM-45 attached. You can see some of the brackets in these photos.

Grower,
I have most parts for mounting the YMM45 mower, including the front PTO and switch.
In your photo it shows one side mount, do you have the other side? They aren't very expensive.
If you send me your e-mail address I will send you a complete breakdown of the parts you need to mount it on your tractor. Gary J.

Attached is a scan of the parts breakdown for the mounting hardware. I also have a manual for the YMM-60 which was driven by the rear pto. I can scan a page of that too if you are interested.

Remember, the scan from gbirky is the mounting parts for a YM1300, not for your YM1100.

Actually, the manual states that it is for YM135 (YM1100), YM155 (YM1300) and YM155D (YM1300D). That does NOT include the YM135D which is the equivalent of the YM1100D. The parts are the same for the YM135, YM155, and YM155D, but you use different mounting holes, and you need the extra back side idlers and a different belt for the YM135.

You may have some clearance issues with the YM1100D front axle and driveshaft.

The front left and right mounting brackets are not the same length for the 155 (1300) and the 135 (1100). Nor are the front tow links the same for those two models of tractors. The 155 has a longer frame and takes longer brackets and tow links.
I have mounted over a hundred of these YMM mowers since 1974, and have alot of experience with them. The mower deck is the same, but their mounting kits are slightly different, as is the front PTOs.
I have also mounted many YMMs on 135D tractors,

I'm glad to hear that there is someone out there with alot of knowledge when it comes to these mowers. I didn't mean to step on any toes. It is a bit disconcerting to see that the manual does not list different parts for the two tractor models, particularly the pto.

How well does the YMM-45 work on the 135D? It seems like the clearance between the deck's center pulley guard and the front drive shaft would be very minimal.
