Does anyone know where I can get a ignition key for a yanmar 2000, it's a 2 cyl and I just got it but I only have 1 key. I have no doubt that I will loose it within a month only because I don't have a backup.
thanks for the help

Hoye tractor stocks them (Ad at the top of this thread) and other dealers have them too.

A good locksmith (not box stores) can match one up as well.

Go to John Deere, and tell them you want a key for a John Deere 850, don't tell them it is for a Yanmar, and see if it isn't the same key. It was for mine. If I remember right it was around $5.00 for two keys, for that is the way they sell them.

Sorry your correct...3 cylinder only.

I believe Dick's right on about the JD match. I forgot it's been so long since I had to buy any.

Hey Mark if you do go to John Deere DONT say Yanmar, I did and was told they never seen a key like the one I have, its for a 2610, so got on Ebay and found one just like it for a John Deere, I guess they have enough business. anyway just my input, good luck..Robert

runningbird,

The ym2000 is reported to be the equivalent of the ym240.
The ym240 was made for the usa market.
Have you considered looking for a ym240 key to check to see if you can match it with your ym2000 key ?

Just a suggestion.
