I am not new to this board but I am a new user. I figured this was a good time to share some of my experience with the YM186D that I picked up last fall.
This is a complete Yanmar tractor loader backhoe unit with 200 hours on the meter but I would guess it has gone around once putting it at a more realistic 1,200 hours. As best I can tell this has always been a tractor loader backhoe. The loader is a Yanmar YFL-650 and the backhoe is a frame mounted Yanmar YBH-660. The tractor runs like a top, the loader seems OK too, but I decided to recondition the backhoe. The backhoe broke a swing cylinder gland at the chain pin lug due to age (clean break) and as with anything I do it seems I kept making more of a project than a simple fix. So, short of paint the backhoe is now like new with repacked rams, new hoses throughout, one new control stick valve, both swing cylinder glands are new, and so on.
I'll post a few old pictures for now and take some new ones shortly.
