howdy everyone!

I just got a YM276D, and I love it so far (except for no power steering ).

We just got a big dump of snow and so I'll be testing out the tractor with a rear snow blade. I also bought a log splitter that has it's own PTO driven hydraulic pump. What I want to do is run the ram off the hyd of the tractor... Take a look at some pics, maybe someone can help me out on how it needs to be setup...Imma keep this one regular size so you can see it properly... So these are the loader controls, and there seems to be a quick connect T off of the loader supply, can I just run a quick connect from that female supply out to the reservoir of the splitter ? Where do I get the return from?- I tried to rotate the picture, so I'm sorry for your necks!!

Thanks for all your help!

Nice rig!! Welcome to the site...I know you'll love your Yanmar.

I just did some hydraulic work on my 2210....got a lot of help over on the hydraulics board. I don't know enough to tell you definitely what to do, but there are some folks here who will. Good luck!!!!!

I bought a 276D with a factory loader (I think), ROPS & no power steering. I've been really impressed with the amount of work it will do.
Power steering kits are available here:Yanmar Tractor Parts: POWER STEERING KIT - NEW!
I've gotten used to not having it. Inflating the front tires on the hard side helps.

Don't know the gpms on the 276 pump but I'm doubting it will be as much as the pto driven pump. Just guessing, I know my 2002 is only rated at about 6gpm. Does your pto driven pump have any specs on it? I can't tell from your picture just what goes where. I see the tee you are talking about but down lower it looks like another line with a tee on it. Where does that top line teed with the quick disconnect go too.?

I have to ask, if your splitter has a PTO pump, why would you want to remove that and run the splitter off of your tractor's hydraulics? It will most likely slow down your splitter tremendously.


I do agree, you should pose your hydraulics questions in the hydraulis section...... you will get more help there than here.

Your first rule of thumb on your tractor's hydraulic system is to run everything in series. You will not want to put a "T" anywhere on the pressure side of your system. That will net you poor results. The only place you can run a "T" is on the return lines going back to your sump.

That quick connect on your loader valve is interesting. My Yanmar didn't have a pressure relief built into it and dead-heading a hydraulic circuit like that would have either shear the key on the pump, or break the pump. I'm curious what it is there for.

The reason I want to bypass the PTO driven pump on the splitter is because it leaks.

The loader controls on my machine definately aren't stock, it's a joystick control, and my loader is missing the Float position. I tried doing some snow clearing with the bucket last night, and made a pretty good mess When I try to push the joystick up to the float position, the stick is blocked by the top plate.

Anyway, I'll be getting a rear snowblade soon, so that should help alot. Does anyone know where I can source the service manual for this guy? I checked a few tractor shops and they told me "they had calls in"... In this information day and age, one would think I should be able to download it...

Once I figure out what I'm going to do about the splitter, I'll post my questions in the hydraulics seciton...

I got a 276D manual from hoyetractor.com

flip your frt wheels around the correct way, it will help steering.

 

[zozep]

I didnt know my wheels were on the wrong way? I just got it like this... are these wheels supposed to be bolted on a different way?

Look at my previous pic. Flip them around so the "dish" is in.

 

[teg]

I would say it should be cheaper and easier to repair the pump leak.

The plumbing for the FEL is.... well, "interesting". Can you post more photos of it? either here or better yet the hydraulic section (just be sure to tell them that you didn't do it, you just bought it )

 

[shawnjvl]

Yes flip them with dish in, steering will be alot easier.

 

[winston1]

Don't flip them, swap sides with them. Flipping them will put your cleats going the wrong way.

 

[shawnjvl]

Yes winston1 is correct, Sorry.

 

[Dick_Jermyn]

If the wheels are flipped over to the correct position, the tire tread will be going the wrong way. Were the tires mounted the wrong way? Someone must have mounted the wheels this way to get more stability in the front. Just some thoughts.

Dick

 

[teg]

Left tire goes on the right side, right tire on left side, tread will remain the same direction.

Yes, it will be less stable but there will be less stress on the front axle seal. Also, when you make a turn in 4x4, the tracking should match up better, less binding.

whats the milky white stuff on my garage floor under the front wheel housing ?

This is a random insertion into this thread. You should start your own thread and give us some background. But im sure what your talking about is gear oil in the front drive axle that (if you have 4wd) that has had water get in and is now leaking out or overflowing out a breather. That or you have engine oil that is mixed with water that is leaking out of the front of the motor? Just guesses though. You need to find out where its coming from and change it and try and fiqure ouyt how to stop the water intrusion.

You're right about giving some background, but I figured, since I started the thread it would be ok

Anyway, there isnt much background, bought the thing used, haven't done anything but put about 10 hours on it, it's ran pretty solid so far other than a starter that needs to get percussed when it's -10 outside...

After a bit of snowplowing this weekend, I noticed some white milky stuff under the right wheel hub... I'll check and take some pictures.

OOPs i only pulled up to the top of the second page and saw Teg or what ever the guys name with the deer and dog icon. You actually started this thread, sorry!!
