ym2000 key

[arthr31]

yes, this should work. these keys are interchangeable. the key which works in my 169d (made for US) also works in my 1601d (made for japan, somehow arrived in MA). I think many of the keys are interchangeable if they belong to the same cylinder family. Not sure this helps, but is some related info.. -art

Ebay is your friend. This guy continually lists generic Yanmar keys; under $5 delivered.

Yanmar key on ebay

That's a completed listing but I'm sure you can ask him to list one for you.

I buy most stuff from Hoye including a whole new ignition switch recently, but when I first started out the first thing I did was get a second key off ebay.

First thing I did for my F15D, too. The eBay key works great!

That completed ebay listing is mine. I received the key Monday and it works great.

my ym2020 key also works for my ym1500 and the ym1500 key is a JD 850 key. I think they are all the same. Find one that does not interchange and post that one.

Don't wake them up, I already told them about the JD 850 key, like 2 for $5 or $6, but they want to go to Ebay or a dealer and pay that much for one. Let them sleep on and pay it, why should we care.

 

[BruceR]

Sorry Dick, but in my case, I had to weigh the inflated ebay cost over the benefits of spending the time and fuel to drive 60 miles and deal with people who didn't want my money unless I lied to them. What can I say, the cost of Green makes me see Red.

[pruntyc]

In my case, I only had to drive 20 miles. And I didn't lie to them, or I wouldn't have got it. I don't lie or steal or cheat. But anyway, I just told them I wanted a key for their model 850, and bought it, they didn't ask me what it was for.

I don't cheat,steal or lie either, but if you need something from my local Deere dealer for a Yanmar, you will have to, like I said the told me that they had never seen a key like I had, I wish it wasn't that way, but with Hoye and LMTC and others on here I don't have to deal with them. anyway just my thoughts....

Runningbird,

Recently had clutch replaced on my 1500 at Borders Turf and Tire in Phoenix and asked them to put in a new iginition switch as the only key I had was bent and I hadn't been able to find anyone who had a comparable blank or replacement. One of their contacts who just happens to be a locksmith came by and suggested he simply make duplicates of the key from a Master Lock blank. $3.00 and done.
