Need Help Identifying this Yanmar

[LSxaaron8800]

Hello All,

I am looking for some help with the model of this tractor. I have looked everywhere trying to find it and still no luck. Something about being down by the left foot??

I just had the injection pump rebuilt and new nozzles on the injectors. Now I am needing to order a new pinion and ring gear for the front differential.

TIA

What is the engine model number? It will be on a tag on the engine? Looks like a KE2 or KE3.

3TNA68

The KE3 used the 3TNA68-UNK engine so I bet that is what you have. I bought one of those used axles not long ago so I should have those gears. Click the 'contact us' link below if you are interested. I will warn you that the axle was not cheap so those gears are not going to be either.

I If you want them you better buy them. I imagine they will be very difficult to locate else where. I haven't heard anyone owning one of these models

Is there a time frame when these tractor were made? A Yanmar dealer wouldn't be able to get the parts?

Here is the wreckage. :yuck:

Google found this Japanese exporter showing KE3 year made 1990.

I doubt that model was ever imported here by Yanmar-USA so it's gray-market, unsupported by them.

I think Hoye is your best source for anything you need. In this particular case the price for used parts may seem high but it costs him money to wait maybe years before he sells another part off the one he is parting out for you.

so, the bearing came apart ,and caused this ? That sure is a badly chewed up pinion

Stumbled onto this old thread. Might be worth checking out. http://www.mytractorforum.com/70-grey-market/90981-yanmar-grey-market-parts.html

I dont think. Bearing still spins freely. Abuse is what caused this. It has a front loader on it and dad was using it to pull out rocks and tore it up. If you need something broke he's the man for the job.

On the one hand I have recommended that guy many times when the only parts that exist will have to be sourced from Japan. He's the go-to specialist for that. Expect this to be expensive, he spends a lot of time on research.

On the other hand I've only bought from him once. He's a legitimate Yanmar-USA parts dealer so when I bought the first Yanmar I bought a replacement genuine Yanmar clutch safety switch from him. The rubber accordion shield disintegrated the first week. It must have been ~30 year old stock. "Sorry, no returns on electrical items".

well. I have used my 4 wd for many things. It has held up so far

Ouch! I think the side force of the ring and pinion skipping probably damaged the bearing rather than the other way around. We have them In Australia (saw one advertised) What were you doing when it ate the CW&P?

Are there more of these in the US? Google located several offered for sale in Europe, mostly the eastern portion, but I don't think I saw one here.

If they are that rare here then jump on any parts offered!

I agree. I can't think of seeing anyone post here about owning 1
