I have just purchased a Y1510D. I noticed on recent post some discussion concerning the cooling system on these tractors. Is it true that all 1510s do not have water pumps?
Thanks
I believe that your tractor circulates coolant via thermosyphon.
In order for the system to work correctly you'll want to be sure
that you're using a 70/30 water/antifreeze mix.
If you're going to really work the tractor (brush hog/plow/etc)
I'd spend the time/money to install a water temp gage, as well
as an oil pressure gage. The idiot lights and senders are old
enough on these tractors to easily be less than accurate or reliable.
I have replaced waterpumps on the 1510 and 1510D models before. Fairly certain your model has one in there somewhere /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. Take a look and see what your fan and pulley are mounted to...I mean I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
I dont have experience with this model but I have been told anything smaller than a YM2000 is thermosyphon. 2000 and up were water pump equiped. I may be wrong as well but, the 1700 I had briefly didnt have a pump.
I'll piggyback on Jerry because he won't care /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif The variety of info on this thread is why we always say "Go to a reputable dealer." Everyone believes they have accurate information, but 'tis not the case.
1510 HAS a pump. As do 1700 "B" series. And 1601, 02, 10. 1702, 20. 1810, 20. 1502. Maybe another I've missed. And probably all that I can think of above 2000.
Wayne,
That was a nice way to straighten me out /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif, I do appreciate the correct info and I dont mind either. Wish my dealer could have provided it /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif.
Anyhow, glad you guys are here for the right info, I'll try to leave my hearsay out of it /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif...

No doubt.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I see that now and as I have said, if I find myself in the market for another you'll definitly be hearing from me.... I can always use the vacation to pick it up.. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
