Well, i am getting ready to go work on my YM169D here pretty quick and have yanmar going through my mind since I just finished drawing a YM1610D and scanned it onto my computer. :thumbsup: i will let y'all know how it goes.
:confused2: So i washed the filter in a coffee can of Diesel and used the air compressor and blew it clean. Then I reinstalled it and put in the new hydraulic fluid to test the hydraulic pressure i was getting. We first hooked up the gauge to the hydraulic port under my shift lever and found that there is 0 psi with the 3 point in float and 500 psi under no load. We got it to 1000 psi with 450 pounds on it but it would not lift the weight. Then we hooked the gauge to the line that feeds into the cylinder and got 3000 psi so that means the pump is good. That also means I have a seal out in the cylinder so now I have a general idea where to start really taking stuff apart. 
How did you get the 3000#? You pretty much had to have something dead headed to do that.

If he put the gauge on the pressure line from the pump to the valve he did dead head it as there is no bypass, in that setup!
I just got back from the farm from working on my tractor. The first thing I did was I drained out the hydraulic oil which hadn't been changed in a while and then commenced to remove the hydraulic pump. Once I pulled off the pump I noticed that it is not a keyed pump, it has a long bolt on the end and turns with the engine. So i put it all back together. By then, all the hydro oil had been drained so I pulled the rear wheel off and got out the hydraulic filter. It has residue from gasket maker on it and it did have some metal shavings. Part of those shavings are from the hydraulic dip stick but the rest i don't know.
Since there were no smaller implements there, I tried lifting the tongue of a 12' dist but only lifted it about 1 foot. Then i tried to lift the hitch end of a manure pit stirrer but couldnt since it was for a category 2 quick hitch. So I drove back to my grandpa's after seeing if those Skid steer R4's would fit (2" to small so no go) and hooked up to my tiller which is the heaviest implement I have used on it. Picked it right on up. :thumbsup: So i hooked it up to my rake and can now focus on the smaller things like maybe getting a new seat, fixing the SMV sign, cleaning up the fenders, fixing the front and back right side tires, and wiring in new flashing lights. :thumbsup:
Other than that i had no problems to note.
Thanks! I just graded 3 arenas with my tractor and it did very well, I did slightly smell some burning rubber when I was working it so does that mean that the fan belt is loose or is it time to replace?
