My tractor is a Yanmar YM1510D. It has a 3PH that takes standard Cat 1 implements. I have a 5' finish mower, a 42" brush mower, a 4' box blade, 5' rear blade and a post hole digger. No problems handling any of those implements. It has 15 PTO hp and about 18-19 engine hp. It does quite a bit...

I was unloading mulch from my trailer yesterday with my 1510D when I realized I was leaking hydraulic fluid. It is coming out of the bottom of the hydraulic pump where the 4 bolts are. I tried tightening the bolts but that only stopped one from leaking. And I broke another which should be fun...

I have a grey market Yanmar with a Kanzaki loader. I have had trouble getting the zerks on the loader to take grease. So I decided just to replace them. Here is where I have a problem. I fully expected them to be metric zerks (10mm). Well, the guy at NAPA measured them and says they are 3/8...

Ok I'm going to try to attach a very crude drawing of what I did. I used swivel caster wheels with 3/8" bolts and washers. By putting the side 2x6s on top of the front/back ones I could attach the wheels where I've shown on the pic and not worry about the bolts sticking up. I then hooked up...

Is anyone using any type of block or radiator hose heater on their Yanmars? I'm not certain but my tractor does appear to have at least one freeze plug. A radiator hose heater may not fit on it. I have considered a magnetic heater for the oil pan but I'm not sure it would be effective when...

Is there anything special I need to do for my H this winter? I have an engine block heater for the Yanmar but since the H is a gas engine I'm thinking it doesn't need one. It will be used throughout the winter and if I go for more than a week without using it due to weather, I was planning on...

I have the opportunity to buy a 5' Frontier rear blade for $300 (new). I think this is a good price for it, but thought I'd ask here for other opinions. I will be using it mainly for snow removal. It looks like it is easy to turn the blade around. 5 forward and 5 reverse settings.

As many of you know, I bought a Farmall H a few weeks ago. I had gone into the local Case/IH dealer to find out how friendly they would be about getting parts when I needed them, and the salesman and I decided we liked each other. We've been dating a couple weeks and today he asked if I wanted...

I would like to get a rear blade for snow removal. A 5' KK blade is $228 at TSC. I have the opportunity to purchase a 5' 20 series Bush Hog blade for $325. I don't know if the $325 is a good price or not. The dealer says it is discounted because it is faded from being on the lot for a year...

Can anybody post me pics of how the choke rod should go on the Farmall H? I bought one on ebay for the tractor but need a couple of good pictures to help me put it on right. I can't find anything on the internet.

I would like to build a lean to on my corncrib to gain some extra storage. It would be probably 15' or 16' wide by 24' long. My question is that I was planning just to hang some joists (vertical) with purlins (horizontal) for the roof, which would be metal. I was thinking 2x6 joists with 2x4...

Here is my newest addition, a 1950 Farmall H. Yes, you are allowed to laugh at it if you want to because it was only $500 and it runs great.

I have a Yanmar 1510D. Right now I use it to load my manure spreader and I hook the spreader up to my truck. I have been considering adding a second tractor for pulling the spreader (old ag tractor). If I put a jack on this tongue, do you think I could hook it to my tractor after it's loaded? I...

I'm not sure, it is the type you pull with a drawbar. This is a picture of it, although maybe I should go out and take a picture of the tongue.

I am considering buying an old ag tractor for pulling my manure spreader. Right now I'm pulling it with my truck (need my tractor to load it and can't pick it up to hook up to the tractor when it is loaded). It is an old spreader, probably a New Idea from the 50s. I was all set to buy a 1940...

I am about to change the front tires on my 1510D because they are seriously worn and cracked. While I have the tractor jacked up I am wondering if there is anything I can do to adjust the steering? While on grass or dirt I have no problems with it. But, on pavement I get the sway back and...

I haven't seen it yet but I'm 95% sure there is a skunk in my corncrib. A couple times this week when I went in to get the tractor I smelled skunk. Today when mowing, as I went past it on the tractor it totally reeked of skunk. And, yes, it is more overpowering than diesel. Then when I put...

I tried doing a search, figuring someone has needed to know to paint their tractor, but I didn't find much. Can anyone recommend a power painter, brand, model, etc? Something not to expensive would be nice as I don't have much other use for one.

Here is a pic of the drawbar. It is 1/2" stock. You will need 3 12mmx40mm bolts with lock washers (I put on regular washers too). If anyone wants the dimensions, let me know and I'll see if I can draw them on the pic, or make a drawing that shows them.

My Yanmar is up there on the ugly scale. Note the white painted on "OK" on the hood! No, I don't know why it's there.

This is cool! Wish he had some feedback though. eBay: Jack operated tractor boom for three point hitch (item 170030440243 end time Sep-24-06 10:18:41 PDT)

Hi, I have a Yanmar YM1510D and need sway chains on my 3ph. Without them implements sometimes hit or even get stuck in my rear tires. Apparently there is nowhere to attach them on the 1510. Hoye tractor used to sell adapters for this model for sway chains but does not know when he will make...

I need sway chains on my 1510D because I keep having implements move over and hit my rear tires. Apparently the 1510 is rather tricky to put them onto. I was going to order those adapters from Hoye but he doesn't know when he will make more because he only sells about 3 sets a year. To be...

A picture of my front end loader. I suppose you could call this a picture of my "garage" too, Timber. My garage though is a corncrib!

What brands of pallet forks do you guys/gals have? I am interested in picking up a pair for my FEL. There are a couple guys on ebay selling them fairly cheap. Has anyone bought those? Any advice, recommendations or condemnations welcome.

Being a woman I sometimes really struggle with hooking and unhooking my attachments. So today I made some dollies for them out of 2x6s and caster wheels and now I'm so happy!!!:D No more struggling with those lift arms! Unhooked the box blade (hardest thing for me to unhook for some reason)...

I am in need of larger metric sockets and wrenches for my tractor. I received a flyer from Harbor Freight last week that had a 3/4 inch metric socket set for $49. My neighbor says I don't need a 3/4" socket set, to look for a 1/2" set. HF doesn't have one. I liked the price but then again...

Ok this is a picture from the back of my tractor. It is hard to see but it is the lever with the red handle (I was wrong and it is the other lever the red fell off of). It is next to the hydraulic hose.

That is what I'm doing but I keep ending up with these giant pictures in my post. Can't figure out how to just make a link people can click on. Oh well, here is the boxblade to critique. It is a 4' BB and the sacrificers need to be adjusted with a nut and bolt, which is a pain but I thought...

Here is a picture of my new project thanks to Mother Nature Wednesday evening. I will salvage what I can like the roof (aluminum), beams, copper wiring, and good structural lumber and any siding the neighbors want. The rest will be pushed into a hole in the farm field behind me and burned...

Hi, went to use my horse trailer for the first time this season and the back door, which is also the ramp is froze up really bad. We spent hours using PB Blaster and heating with a propane torch but it isn't down yet. Anyone else ever have this problem? Any advice is appreciated. It is a...

I put sides on my utility trailer for the same reasons you want them. It cost me about $120 in lumber and hardware.

I often see Kubota tractors on ebay, where the seller is asking a price that is way too low. They always ask you to contact them at some other email address instead of through ebay. I assume these are scammers. Well, today I see that the bidders may be playing a joke on the scammer. This...

I have a friend who buried her above ground swimming pool this weekend. I am wondering if anyone else has ever done this? I am about 98% convinced the sides will cave in and someone could be hurt or worse. This pool is a few years old and was like the $400 special at Toys R Us. I just don't...

When I did a search about this problem, one person said he had this problem because a 1/4" U-shaped thing was clogged. I do not see anything that looks like that. I also don't see the upside-down J-shaped valve Norm mentioned. Here is a picture of the back of my tractor. There is also some...

I have been using my FEL this morning for about 3 hours and now there is transmission/hydraulic oil leaking from the top of the reservoir. My first instinct is to think that it was overfilled. My second thought is that the cap could be bad? Any ideas? I think this is the most I've used my...

I would like to get a rotary cutter and was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to what size would work best for me. I have a 1510D. Pretty sure it would handle a 4' cutter fine, but how about a 5' cutter? There is only a $25 price difference between the 2 sizes and obviously a 5' cutter...

I have a shallow well pump (jet type) with a pressure tank on top. The last few days it has only been pumping a little bit of water (5-15 gal) and then the water stops. I have never had this happen before. I have had pumps quit from corrosion due to the hard water, pressure switches go bad...

I have 2 acres and horses. Eventually the ground gets pretty bumpy from the horses and my neighbor has disced it for me in the past to smooth it out better. I have a compact tractor now and am wondering if I should get a disc or BB for it? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?

HI, I'm new to the forum, and to tractors in general. I just bought a 1510D with a FEL and being a gray market tractor it doesn't have a ROPS. I was wondering how necessary it is. I live in NW Ohio, which is as flat as Kansas so I'm not using it on much of a slope. I know a lot of people are...
