Any downside to purchasing a Yanmar 336D?

grainger12002 · Mar 13, 2015

mine has been good,

watch the spindles for leaks as stated, check the pinion seal as well, common problems, use the pwr shift, make sure it stays in gear when shifted...very reliable 3cyl yanmar diesel..

It's US spec so parts should be available. I bought a 276D seven years ago. It's been very reliable. The only parts that I've replaced are wear items. Battery, hoses, etc. Love the powershift and 4 range transmission. Mine doesn't have PS, but even at 68 years old, I'm able to work around that. Love that tractor. It punches above it's weight.

Those made for US YM models usually have much higher hours than a comperable gray market tractor.

Is there some index or cross-reference of what is a Yanmar gray YMxxxx to a US YMxxx equivalent? That would be handy.

What engine type is in your 3110? I show a 3T84 or 3T84-D while the JD950 has the 3T90. Or are these the same engine really?

Mine is the 3T84-D engine.. Is the 950, 1050 & 3110 are the same bore & stroke ? I don't know. I do know I have ordered a few parts for my tractor from JD and we looked at the parts list for a 950

When I bought my 336D (new) I remember that one of the things that seperated it from the JD 1050 was that the YM had sleeve'd cyls and the JD did not. The other diff I remember was the 3sp/4? range "powershift" trans.

The 3T80 in the JD850/YM2500/YM2610/and other YMs of the 3T80 share many engine parts with the JD950 3T80. Wonder if the 3T84 has a mix of both the 3T80 and 3T90?
