YM1510D question

[Jjpbe]

Hi,

I am wondering what these three holes are for. They are located on the bottom of the tractor under the PTO shaft.
I have attached 2 pictures. ?

I suspect they are for drawbar attachment.

Those are the 3 mounting points for the trailer tow sleeve that the tube and ball would fit into. Not sure if your YM1510 had the square setup or the round one.

I browsed the YM1510 Parts Manual, but the image wasn't there. On a YM2500/YM2610 it's the round version like this ...

If the Top-Link wasn't there, you would see the tow plate attached with a 2-inch standard ball.

My round tube draw bar mounts like these photos for the round one show. But the bottom of my case is not recessed ad your tractor pictures show. I wonder if yours used more of a flat stock draw bar.
Threads are most likely a standard metric thread. Clean them out measure depth and diameter, get some 3/4 or 1” bar stock and make your own draw bar if you want one.
Measure the width and length of that slot. Allow yourself about 1/4” of play on each side for with of bar stock. 2.25-2.5 times the length of the measurement of the recess slot.
Make a cardboard pattern an mark the holes. Drill or have some holes drilled for mounting holes. If you want the 2 plate mount like in the round stock photo above, let me know and I will take some measurements of mine and post for you. Or you may not want anything there and use a 3ph drawbar.

Yes, I too believe the YM1510 uses a flat bar with a ball setup. This is how the John Deere CUTs are made by Yanmar.

Not sure the hole spacing to make one yourself or to order one like this.

The nice thing with a bar like this, you can flip it to get lower or higher as needed for whatever trailer you need to pull.

I think - not sure - that all the gray market YM's have a round drawbar and the US models (plus Deere) are flatbar.

Look at his photo. It is a recessed area into the housing with 3 threaded holes in the flat of the recess.
I believe his YM1510D would be a gray. But it is built very different from my YM2002D for the draw bar.

You build what you can not find to buy. If the mounting holes for that line up, it would have him up and pulling in no time.
