hi all yanmar fans,
Long time, no post.
My 1601d was still running good up until about two weeks ago when I broke it (oops). I was changing the fuel filter assembly and where it attaches to the block/head (can't remember which) and it broke a cover in two. Now I have a nice hole to the...
hi, on my older "American" yanmar (it's a Yanmar 169d 16hp 4x4) I have a JD375 dozer blade. This blade consists of a up/down cylinder, and a left and a right cylinder. It all still works pretty well. Except, one of the cylinders is leaking pretty badly. Beyond replacing one of the cylinders, is...
hi,
One of my front tires blew out. Don't know why or how, but too big of a hole to either patch or do innertube (side wall probably not a good idea to patch anyway).
Anyway, I need a tire. Hoye Parts says they are on national backorder. Used or new doesn't matter. In a way I'd prefer used...
Hi,
I may have asked this before, sometime, can't remember...
Is there a way to research Yanmar Serial Numbers? Specifically, if I have S/N from the chassis, engine, and other components, is there any database/book/site that I might be able to research the source of these components? I suppose...
hi,
This is kinda a weird question, but I'm asking incase I need to be concerned.
Today, I was working my 1601d very hard: shovel loading (FEL) broken up concrete to then be loaded into a roll-off container. 15 yards.
Sometimes, while loading on a stretch of black top, with tires (rear)...
hi there,
my 169d no longer starts. I had this problem off and on for awhile, was managing to get it started, but my tricks and fixes no longer work. Here's what I've noticed and done...
Wouldn't start, checked the clutch free pedal play and ignition safety switch clearance, seemed OK. Fixed...
5\' finish mower on a 16hp yanmar?
Hi,
Is a 5' finish mower too much for a 16 hp yanmar? Tractor has 4x4 and wide turf tires... Of course I'll try out anyway, and don't anticipate winning any races... just don't want to unnecessarily overload the tractor... Thanks. -art
Hi,
As of today, I'm faced with a minimum 2000.00 repair to my truck. I'm not sure I can take spending too much (this much) more on this vehicle. Here's some background:
1. Bought current truck, used in early May, this year with 96,000 miles. Truck is a 1998 Dodge RAM 2500 with Cummins Diesel...
OK, I didn't know where else to put this, figured this was a better spot than rural living... At least this forum deals with grease, oil, etc. (and since it's a question about my truck, we can consider it an oil burner question! )
Anyway, here goes: I have a '98 2500 w/ cummins 12 valve 5.9L...
Hi all,
...Need some pointers/advice here. I'm trying to change the front axle fluid on my 1601. However, I can't budge the "filler nut" that is on the top of the right-hand side of the axle. I'm using a 1 1/8 socket and trying with all my measly might. I haven't tried a breaker yet, but worry...
What happened to this thread? Lots of activity over the last few days and then poof! gone?!? When I search for "synthetic oil" the engine finds the thread, but then says it has been removed. -art
hi again, like i said, season of questions...
So, my barn/shed (fits tractor and used to have few goats) has become pretty much over run with mice. beginning a few weeks back I was finding mice nests everywhere on the 1601d. Everywhere. On top of battery, on top of engine, behind fuel tank...
hi all:
OK, it's getting cold here... so, here comes the season of questions from me!
i have a 1601d with a 3t75u engine (if i remember correctly) and a 169d with a 3t72ha engine (verified). I have a bunch of oil and air filters for the 169d. Will these work on the 1601d? are the...
hi there, i'm wondering if anyone has any experience (beyond biodiesel) with alternative fuel types for diesel. Specifically, anyone know anything (more than their website sez) about:
www.dieselsecret.com
Also, i'm thinking about:
www.greasecar.com
I'm trying to do as much research as possible...
Hi there,
I've searched the forums for instances of vina tractor co in Mesquite TX. The owner is Leon Hoaong (SP?). I remember seeing him post here, and references about vina. However, now I cannot find anything regarding this reseller. Can anyone give me details about them or their...
