Anybody know where I can get a steering sector gear for my YT-16? The gear on the column looks OK, so I think I just need that sector gear.

Not knowing how to post a new thread on this website I'm just going to ask anyone a question.
I have a ford yt16 (circa 1985) with a flat rear tyre - How do I get the wheel off to get the puncture repaired?

In the center of the rim is a rubber boot . remove it, then you see a washer with a carter pin. remove them. be sure you take care to watch for the key-way on the shaft .

I know almost nothing about tractors. I came across a YT 16 and I'm wondering if it has a PTO. Can it operate tow behind attachments.

I have a hobby farm and I really need a tractor. If anybody knows I would appreciate the info!

Hey yall, I bought a yt16 a few weeks ago. I was wondering if anybody had a manual for it?? The previous owner disconnected half of the wires and I'm at a loss as to where everything goes. It has a briggs and stratton 16hp opposed twin but I think the electrical would be the same for ones running a kholer. I could probaby make do with a close up pic of someone's wiring but any kind of help would be awesome. Thanks

I recently purchased a YT16 with a 48 inch deck; I've heard a lot of good things about it but haven't had a chance to use it yet. As soon as I got it home to start cutting, the deck belt broke. I replaced the belt, flipped on the PTO, and the blades wouldn't move. After about a minute or two smoke started coming from the deck and began squealing. I immediately stopped it and allowed it to cool down. It seems liked all was good, I was able to move all 3 blades by moving the drive belt as well as turning one of the blades (all three moved when I moved the one blade). Anyone have an idea what's wrong?

Be sure the deck belt is installed around the tension pulley correctly.

1985Eagle, thanks for the prompt response. You mean the tension pulley mounted on the exterior of the deck correct? I attached it as indicated in the photos I found online. See photos below.

Correct the tension pulley has a small guard that comes down from the deck that keeps the belt on the tension pulley be sure the belt is between this guard and the pulley. Also turn the pulley that the deck blades belt is on and the belt that goes to the PTO clutch at the engine it could be that the pulley with the two belts on it the bearings could be frozen. Hope you understand what I am trying to say. Good luck

Hey 1985Eagle, finally got a chance to look at the mower again. There seems to be an issue with getting the right amount of tension to move the mower deck's belt/blades., so I think it's either the tension spring or the belt. I say that cause I started it, flipped on the PTO and heard the squealing sound (blades were not moving). At this time I used a 2x4 to push the tension pulley to the right, the squealing stopped and blades on the mower deck began rotating. When I stopped pushing the pulley to create tension, the squealing resumed and the blades stopped turning. Do you think I can rule out the tension pulley? Once again thanks for the help.

Be sure you have the right size belt mine is a 48" deck and it uses a 5/8 x 48" belt. With the tension pulley when you put the belt onto the engine pulley it pulls the tension pulley forward to put tension on the belt. I think you may have the belt on the wrong side of the tension pulley or the belt is the wrong size. Look at the diagram if you stand in front of the mower looking toward the rear of the mower the belt should be on the left side of the tension pulley. Also be sure the tension spring is hooked to the mower Deck and then to the tension pulley bracket.
