YM220 and cutter

[Mikeeeeeeeeee]

I just bought a YM220d with a 4' King Cutter. 834 hours on the meter and everything works except the lights. (no problem to fix)
I have some things I want to do right away.
1. Set the rear wheels outboard to give me a little more stability.
2. get the lights going
3.Find out the part numbers on all the filters.
4. get reccomendations on oil and fluids
5. keep my 5 acre wooded lot in good condition.

Any advice is appreciated.
Mike

welcome:thumbsup: Not sure about your air,fuel,oil filter #'s. Your fuel filter bowl may or may not be original. If it's been replaced, you may have to find a filter that will fit or replace bowl with original type...you can buy filters from Fredricks or Hoye & have them shipped it you choose. Oil will be 15w40 diesel rated oil. Hyd fluid will be JD303 or any brand that meets JD303 specs. Front gear oil will be 75-80 w 90

Hi 'Mikeeeeeeeeee',
Welcome to the forum...

1. Set the rear wheels outboard to give me a little more stability.

Loosen Lug Bolts a quarter turn first.
Place Jack Stands or Blocks under the rear axle near each wheel. Because of the front axle pivot and it is necessary to remove both rear wheels at the same time.
Swap wheels.

2. get the lights going

5. keep my 5 acre wooded lot in good condition.

What may help is undergrowth control. A sprayer system and Glyphosate mixed thin (about 1/2 percent) and spray generously, more water works best in the heat. 2 1/2 gallons will make 500 plus gallons of spray mix.

Any advice is appreciated.
