    Smokey Lenar (Jiangling) JL254 II.

    My neighbor has the above tractor. It's got fairly low hours and has had some work done to it already. He says it was a pretty good runner when he got it but shortly there after it's been running poorly. Pretty sure he said the injector pump and injectors have been replaced. I don't know if the...

    Which is better, TS or glow plugs? Or both?

    I have a 1702D. Awhile back I overheated the engine and it wasn't ever the same so I found a replacement engine. The old engine and the tractor has thermostart (TS). The replacement engine has glow plugs. I think I could just hook the TS wire up to the glow plugs and turn the key backwards for a...

    FS: 8.3-22 rear rice tire, NW Oregon.

    I have a fair used 8.3-22 bridgestone rice tire off my Yanmar tractor. One was horrible and the other, this one, was in pretty good shape. I'd like $50 + shipping. Thanks, Bryan

    Alternative tire sizes?

    So I've got a YM1702D, just got it running again and the rear tire is so rotted on the side the tube popped out and pinched I think. I know it's flat. I'd like to get new tires but the 8.3-22 rear tires are next to impossible to find and when you do find them it seems like they are way over...

    Where to buy a used or rebuilt motor for my YM1702D?

    So I overheated the motor in my 1702D a few years ago and ended up with, hard starting, running ruff, and lots of blow by. I'm fairly mechanical and figured I'd warped the head or blown the head gasket and tore into it only to find neither of those issues. I figure maybe cracked rings or...

    Got the head off my YM1702D, now need help with diagnosis.

    So it was the studs that were holding the head in place. After soaking for 36 hours or better in PB Blaster I went out and tapped on everything with a hammer to shock the corrosion and then tapped the tip of a screw driver between the head and block like a wedge, it slowly came off, then a...

    WTH do you have to remove to get the head off my YM1702D?

    So I over heated my tractor and it's not running right any more, I went over this a bit in a previous post. Now I am trying to remove the head to see what I broke and have everything removed I can see to remove and it's not coming off. The only other things I could remove are the two large head...

    I fear I overheated my YM1702D, not running right now.

    So title says what I fear. I was running right on the ragged edge of the temp gauge. Running hard doing some tilling on a fairly hot day and the temp would climb up near the red so I'd clutch in and let it cool a bit them get back to it. I noticed I was down on power and there was some smoke...
