ym2000 air filter

[garyd]

I have a ym2000 I bought a air filter from Napa 6024 I think.
they did not have a cross ref. on the yanmar filters the old one had alot of metal on and around it the new one is all plastic. they matched on size. the problem is i have found dust on the inside of filter as it is not sealing properly. does anyone know of a good replacement make and model#.

NAPA #2297 works on my YM2000B, however if you have an original Yanmar filter, they are very expensive and re-washable many times over in hot soapy water.

I have an after market filter that is the exact same size as the YM2000 OEM Yanmar filter & a lot less $$$

I think Wayne at Little Miami has access to an after market filter that will fit.

When I got my 1700.. there was a fram filter in it, with an extra piece of weatherstripping foam stuck around it on one side.. presumably to make it 1/4" taller... I too could not find an exact crossover.. I did however find some decent aftermarket filters onthe internet..

Soundguy,

Was the tractor sold to you as 'factory reconditioned', with this non-stock filter arrangement?

I've seen some similar stuff recently while trying to buy correct authentic used hard parts from a 'reconditioned' importer to get my tractor back to bone-stock. I had to take half the stuff back.

What parts do you need?

No California my Yanmar ym2000 was sold to me as a fixer upper grey market tractor with new front end loader. I bought it from coldwater tractors they import the tractors build the loaders and install them on the tractors. I got what I believe to be a very good deal. I put a new battery new cables, alternator, fluids, filters,rear work light. rear scraper blade, a few misc. nuts bolts. I drove 1550 miles to pick it up and bring it home. bought it site unseen, probabaly not the smartest thing I've ever done. The guy was honest so It all worked out. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yes and no. I bought the tractor from the owner.. who I gues did a container shipoment as a way to make some money.. he brought them in.. and then sold them off.. and they were represented to him as factory recon.. and he passed that info along.. .. but didn't say that HE reoned them.. same thing though.

@When i got mine home, I noticed the alternator didn't work, and the oil sender leaked after an hour of use.. also the 3pt control had no rubber tension disc.. so wouldn't stay up. They were easy fixes, and the tractor never really had any other troubles. I found a matching alternator and vr at a mom-n-pop shop.. picked them up for80 bucks and then fixed it all myself.. worked great. That was my first tractor so I was 'ignorant' to all the facts about what to look for.. dealer vs reseller/private seller/... 'refurbed units'.. etc. As always.. time and experience has made me a bit more savy now /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Tell you what I need. I need a rear main seal for my YM1500. I am assuming that it is replaceable once I break the tractor apart and that I don't have to disassemble the engine. Am I assuming correctly?
