YM186d and David Brown 996
I recently went to buy a little trailer i thought would be handy for my ride on mower to pull around the garden but when i arrived at the yard i was buying it from i quickly realised there was alot more equipment for sale so i asked if they happened to have a compact tractor for sale. At this point i didnt relaly know anything about Yanmars. But sat in the barn was a nice chunky looking Ym186d with the extra wide turf tyres, just what i was thinking of looking for. Anyway i took the trailer home and had a think about the tractor for a few weeks as the front driveshaft was missing, the front hubs were leaking oil and there was no draw bar and part of the bracket to mount it was missing, there was no top link also. The seller managed to find me a top link and he knocked me a little moeny off and gave me a full tank of diesel so i went and picked it up.


Im going to put some pictures up of the 186d as i get a few jobs done on it and hopefully pick up a loader soon.

Its a beauty! I say you scored a good machine. We're there any other parts to it back at the equipment place you could see or would they find? A ROPS would be nice to have.

No there were no other yanmar parts there unfortunately. the guy just buys and sells equipment he picks up from sales and auctions.
The ROPS did come with it but it wasnt attached when i bought it. I have since refitted it, ive managed to take out the girlfriends washing line twice now forgetting that the tractor is now taller than it once was 😂

Once i spotted the 186 and took it for a drive around his yard using the powershift i just had to have it! The guy said it came from an old folks home, so maybe it was used for mowing the grass ect. it seems in good condition though and pretty originall unmessed with. All the lights and electrics seem to work too. It would be nice if i can get the front driveshaft and then get the tractor split and fix the 4wd lever hopefully!

As your machine is a UK domestic sold Yanmar, it's possible to get parts from a Yanmar dealer.

Now, there are Yanmar Gray Market machines in the UK as well. On the YTOG we know of these providers too, just in case you can not find a replacement part knowing the part number,

Much better looking than mine. Good luck.

It is not necessary to split that tractor to repair the broken internal 4wd shift lever shift dog part. Search for a thread on this forum " 1510D repairs" posted 12-10-2006 by srscott. It is a thread describing how to replace that part on a ym186D. Also Hoye used to sell complete front driveshafts, u-joints and misc parts for that tractor. not sure if its cost feasible to ship it to the UK?? There is supposed to be an oem stationary cylindrical tube and rubber end boots, that conceal and protect the actual driveshaft and ujoints from dirt and debris. I own the same tractor with the oem loader. good luck.

I managed to get hold of a complete draw bar and mounting bracket to replace my damaged one and missing drawbar. This has allowed me to move my little trailer i bought originally for my little ride on lawn mower to pull around. This has been very handy moving stone for the base i have been preparing for a garden shed to go on. The shed isnt finished yet. I still need to felt the roof and creosote the rest of it.

I am still after the parts to replace the seals in the front hubs, front loader with bucket, front driveshaft, and the cover sheet metal cover which goes over the steering arm on the left side.
Heres a few more pics.

This how I done my hitch setup and takes both types. With a ball and the Utility trailer. I have a Sears small dumping trailer I used for Decades esp. when I stayed a few yrs. in arm cast. Super easy hook up!
