Thanks for the offer Ernie. Still want to get over to your place but have been too busy recently to go anywhere other than mom's. Has been a real busy spring

Thanks for the help - found the fuse box - the 5A fuse had blown. Changed fuse and all instruments worked okay until I started the engine then the battery light stayed on until I revved up and then the fuse immediately blew. I then checked Voltage across battery with engine on and off - both readings were the same at 13V. What and how should I next check - I assume its the regulator or alternator or both. Many thanks.

New to Yanmar, and TBN. Great site, Great People. Really helped me in decision to buy/purchase price. Tnx to all!

Ref this thread:
I Recently bought an F215. The Instrument Panel on it appears original equip, yet is also imprinted "Yanmar 255" on panel (Like yours). I truly don't think it a replacement, and other than taking the good advice given by other contributors (ie: checking fuses/connections) I suspect the '255' moniker is nothing to be concerned about.

My F215 was purch in Ore, has 1200hrs on it, and has a new Chinese (JDL?) "clamshell" FEL. While it is not in perfect cond and looks like it has been stored outside for a while, it runs great & appears to be quite solid.

Any advice re: YM model cross-ref and/or good dealers/info/parts & repair sources most welcome!

The F series was not sold in the US, so it doesn't cross to any US model. I can supply you with parts, but many of them I will have to source from Japan.

Welcome Gonzo.

Ernie's imports up in Molalla (NE of Salem) usually has anumber of F series and can supply you with parts. Has a few parts tractors for those hard to find items. Ernie is a good guy to work with. Know there is another dealer in N Calif but can't think of their name.

There are a number of good dealers here but I'm mentioning the ones I know that aren't TOO far away.

there is another dealer in N Calif but can't think of their name.

I think the next Yanmar enthusiast south of Ernie, at least who posts on TBN, is Dave's Tractor of Red Bluff. He is becoming a big Mahindra distributor but I wouldn't be surprised if he still has a Yanmar hidden in back as his personal favorite.

Realistically, I think Ernie will have the broadest stock of F-series parts in this region.

I haven't found anyone working on Yanmars south of Dave's until you get another 500 miles south, clear into Southern California.
