I have a Yanmar YM240D that I'm thinking about selling and I'm curious what to ask for it. Runs and starts great and I haven't had any issues other than replacing the starter and glow plug. It has a home-built cab on it and a 5' blade. Turf tires in the rear and R4's in the front. Can anyone...

Hey everyone. I'm having some trouble getting my 240D to start. It won't even crank over. The only thing it does is click when I turn the key. I just replaced the battery about a week ago with a 850 CCA battery, so I know its not that. I pulled the solenoid off and took it to O'Reilly Auto...

I am looking to buy an Operators/Owners Manual for my YM240D. I already bought a service manual and I am looking to expand my late night reading! Does anyone know of a good place to buy one? Or does anyoned have one they're willing to part with? Thanks for all the helpTBN, this is always the...

I have begun my journey of building a cab for my Yanmar 240D. First off, I would like to thank everyone that has posted their builds for me to base mine off of. Second off, I would like to say, my tractor does not have ROPS, so this is a completely from scratch adventure and I am open to...

I'd like to start off by saying sorry if I have this posted in the wrong forum, but it does contain a hydraulic question that I need answered. That being said... I would like to build a grapple for my front end loader on my tractor, but my hydraulic system is pretty much fully utilized. I did...

I am looking into building a Gnuse Bucket or something of the sort for a compact tractor this spring. Like here. The project is still in the R&D stage, which brings me to the expertise of TBN! I was picturing something approx. 60" wide by 30" deep by 24" tall. Having one cylinder to tilt...

Would my 240D handle a 5' tiller? My grandpa has a 5' tiller that I could borrow anytime I needed it, but I want to make sure that it wouldn't be too much for my tractor. I wouldn't be using it to do acres upon acres, it would be for maybe a 30' by 100' garden. Also, what kind of rpm range...

Does anyone know where a guy could get a spare key made for a Yanmar? I always worry when only have 1 key for something. Didn't know if maybe a hardware store or a key store would have an appropriate blank . Has anyone had any luck with this issue?

Hello. For those of you that helped me through deciding if the 240D was going to be a good buy, thanks! I picked it up yesterday and had to use the loader to move snow for 2 hrs before I could even get in my driveway! Worked great. I'll be posting some pictures of it soon. I do, however, see...

I am looking for anyone that might know where a guy could pick up a set of R4 Industrial tread tires (like a skid loader tire)? I've done a little searching for them and haven't had any luck, just R1 Ag tires or turf tires. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am fairly new to this forum, although I have been reading posts for several years; great info! I am looking to buy a YM240D with a factory loader. It is the newer of the models, having the air breather on the outside of the hood, but it is still the green color. Everything seems to be...
