Re: I\'m the guy with the FX24D that failed in an hour

I am the one who bought the FX24D with "warrantee" which failed in less than an hour. I thought I'd clear up a couple of issues.
I've worked on and rebuilt many trucks, farm machines, motorcycles, mowers and so on but two different Yanmar dealers claim that this is a job that only should be attempted by a person with lots of Yanmar experience.

Dennis,
The fact that 2 Yanmar dealers told you that this should only be done by mechanics with lots of Yanmar experience is how they get you in the door for a transplant. If you can tear down trucks, motorcycles and just about anything else. You can surely do a transplant of a tractor engine. I also do all of my own repair work. I use to work as an auto/truck mechanic back from 1971-1980. I also can and have rebuilt motorcycles and whatever else needs to be fixed. I split my old ford 8N on 3 different occasion for rear end problems. How hard can it be to pop the hood off and pull the motor out of a Yanmar. My 7275 Cub looks like it would be a breeze to transplant once the loader and hood are off. Go for it and save your self a lot of money. Take pictures if need be if there are two many hoses and wires. Tagging the wires and lines will save you a lot of time if there are a lot of them on the motor. It can't be all that bad. One thing I would do is to pull the motor apart and see exactly what happened inside. Maybe the rings broke or stuck in the pistons. The fix would be much more reasonable if that is all that is wrond with it. Does the motor have liners in it? Check to see if they are scored. Any local deisel shop could pop out the old and put in the new if they are press fit. You could do them yourself if they are not press fit and seal with o-rings.
Good Luck,
Jim R.
