An option may be to copy one of the old U-haul leaf-spring assisted tailgate setups. It's a little bit cleaner above the top rail of the trailer, but would require fabrication. If more lift were needed a pair of springs could be used, or a stiffer leaf. These pictures are of a homebuilt version...

I don't own an Iseki, let alone the TX1410. In the photographs I have seen, I cannot tell if there is a tensioning adjustment or not. On my small Yanmar tractors, the sliding hub has a hexagonal bore that slides onto the axle. A pin goes through the hub and axle, locating it and keeping it from...

I can't specifically help, but you have (Unfortunately) a range of possible issues. The simplest by far is as you suspect, the slipper clutch not being sufficiently tightened. A stripe on both plates with a marker, a streak of nail polish, or a scribed witness mark would let you know pretty...

This is completely unrelated, and not meant to be a critique or advisement: I don't know why, but the perspective here (Or perhaps she is just especially petite) makes that tractor look much larger than I know it to be! The first photo looks makes the tractor look exactly the size I imagine it...

According to an article at Bangshift.com (Available here: BangShift.com 8N Credible) the current land speed record is about 68 mph, set in 1935 by an Allis-Chalmers machine. There will be an attempt during Speed Week by Jack Donohue, a very accomplished racer himself, to break that record with...

Yanmar says 1168lbs "at the hitch" in their brochure for the lift capacity. I can't find any information about the pump sells for the 226; it also fits the YM2020-2420 series machines, but not anything else I can find information about. If you can post the numbers on your pump's data plate, we...

I'm thoroughly impressed with the lifeguard. He saw the child was in trouble, and reacted rapidly and correctly. It's difficult to blow the whistle, stop the wave pool, draw attention to yourself as stopping everyone's fun etc. I think he did a great job in tough circumstances; he's truly...

I found it on craigslist; another friend actually owns the same model. Parts are available but not prevalent. The air filter is an oil bath, so no problem there. I bought a new hydraulic pump to replace the leaking one, and engine rebuild parts and clutches are available as well. Oil filters...

Awhile ago my regular browsing of various classified services led me to a new tractor. It's a Pasquali 997, made in Italy sometime in the late 1970s/early 80s. It's not a Yanmar, but since it is in the stable with nearly all Yanmar machines, comparisons were inevitable, and I thought it might...

I would start with Valley Power for brake shoes, they seem to have a good reputation. I've never bought anything from them, but they were extremely helpful and friendly the one time I called them about parts. Your brake shoes may not need to be replaced, merely adjusted. There is usually an...

Just use the one for a YM240. ;) The fuel consumption data are accurate for the tractor, but I don't think the absolute pulling power they describe is generally applicable. If you look, they added 430 pounds of iron ballast to EACH rear wheel, after putting liquid ballast in them to boot...

This popped up in the "You might be interested in" portion of the popular online auction site we are not supposed to mention, while I looked for a couple minor items for my tractors. I thought it was interesting, but not to the degree it was justified in having its own thread: A Yanmar belt...

I had posted a similar thread in the Yanmar sub-forum, but Kensnelling recently posted some new-to-me numbers for the PTO speeds on his D2000. Since I have a D1800 and have always wondered about the PTO speeds, I was excited to see his numbers: D2000: 1 - 540 rpm 2 - 753 rpm 3 - 998 rpm 4 -...

Winston inspired me, so I rustled up some pictures to share of some of the tools I'm hoping to put to work improving my gardening capacity and capabilities. They are kind of just for fun, since it doesn't make economic sense to try growing my own food here, with water being so expensive, but I...

I agree about the subjective part. I don't want to change the topic from tire debris; I run my tires at 42 PSI. Recommended is 35. (Same brand/model tire as factory delivered) After mine decapped, the inside part of the tire bulged out beyond where the normal layer of tread would be, looking...
