Nice job Car Doc.
Couple of related things I learned the hard way. First, find a set of split collars to fit over the body of your quick connects. They are cheap and act as a lock, no matter what you do they won't disconnect without you lostening the allen locking screws first, could save you a pump. Also, a related story. Looks like you have the same Koyker loader I had on my YM 3000. ( a 160 ) I always thought it moved rather slow when I got the tractor. After one of my quick disconnects uncoupled when going through brush, I found myself in need of a new hyd pump somehow. As a short term fix I transfered the hyd pump from my JD950 to the Yanmar 3000. The 950 has the same block and pump drive, and fittings as the YM3000, it is a bolt on replacement. All of a sudden my loader would move twice as fast and had all the speed I could ever ask for. Talking to Hoye Tractor on the phone, it seams Yanmar had 2 pumps for these tractors. They look the same, but the high output pump is intended for a tractor with a loader, Hoye sells both for the same price, a little under $400. The following spring, I installed the Hoye high cap pump and the loader moved as well or faster than it had with the pump off the JD 950. I'm just guessing here, but most of the Gray Market Yanmars that came here, came here without a loader, the loader was installed on the tractor at the dealer without a pump change to the high cap pump. Sure it worked, but it took 6 seconds to lift a load. Think Hoye's high cap pump is a cheap investment for someone with a loader. What part # is the high cap and what is the standard ?? Don't know, but I'm sure Hoye does, might be worth a call,
