I have finished construction of my CADLoader and am ready for the hydraulic lines. I want to use hardlines to route the hydraulics down the boom and across to the opposite side. I will then use rubber flex hoses to couple to each cylinder. The problem is the quote I got from my local...

I had my first experience with the Yanmar gray market parts problem that people have been rumbling about. I provided Yanmar part numbers to my local tractor dealer for the upper and lower radiator hoses on my 1500D. They were a former Yanmar dealer and do carry some parts in stock. When they...

I pulled the radiator on my YM1500D to have a radiator repair shop take care of the leak. Looking up into the bottom radiator hose, I am seeing a build up of rust chunks and sludge, which means there is also crud in the block. What is the best way to flush all of this out without blocking any...

I am in the final stages of finishing a CADLoader for my YM1500D and have a question regarding the hydraulics. I have purchased the new control valve for the loader and will be inserting this in-line on the high pressure line between the pump and the three point cylinder. It has a "Power Beyond"...

I am in the process of replacing the rear axle bearings and oil seals on my Yanmar 1500D. Sitting in flooded rice patties all these years has really rusted up many parts. The problem is the rear wheel axle hub (correct terminology?) that slides onto the splines of the rear axle. I managed to...

I drained the hydraulic-gear fluid out of my Yanmar 1500D that I purchased recently and was a bit shocked at what came out. I am not sure exactly what I expected but the fluid was a brownish yellow and had clumps that felt like the consistency of fine dirt. What can I use to flush the gear box...
