Replying to Jim and (Well dang. Ignore the duplicate of TX Jim's post.) Replying to Jim and xfaxman and all ... Thanks for the chart xman. Excellent summary. I always assume the weight would be based on the least dense number and had thought it was somewhere 400+ for 4 x 4s. I have...

What are the weights for the various round bale sizes? Ball park / averages? Specifically 4x4 and 4x5s (We can't handle the big ones.) As we all know here hay prices have doubled (in my area, southeast Appalacians) and diesel is insane, but I am trying to work out comparison with small...

Another difference is the YM2000 has a third PTO speed (the middle setting I think) and the PTO order is opposite: YM2000 540 is lowest, not highest (IIRC ... YM240 manual is is garage.) Drain plug for radiator has different location also. At least on ours.

I was over at the "Yanmar Owners Place" ;) yesterday and haven't figured out how to navigate it very well yet. I did find an extensive list of stuff (manuals) on the "wiki" link? (Don't recall now.) But it was a huge amount and didn;t know how to sort. Your list gives me some clues as they...

Ooops. Posted my redundant question before I saw Maverick's thorough response. Got it.

Am I correct that the I&T manual for the YM 240 would be the closest one? (we have noticed differences as we have the Y240 owners manual for our YM 2000D)

Is there a copy of that manual on line? (Over at the yanmar owners' place?) I am working on this is very small time slots (and am very slow :-) due to other constraints.) Do I have to remove the radiator? (Still cutting away one of the radiator hoses.) Thanks.

Late update on the starter. I opted to find a new one as the prices didn't seem too out of line and found one on Amazon (not OSGR) which had both the old model number (from the Hoye site) and the number on the actual starter listed as compatible. {Insert laughter here.} It arrived and my...

Hey y'all -- Will be replacing water pump on my YM2000 D. Any videos out there? Tips? Thanks in advance. BBF

Thanks. (Been away from this project caring for very sick horse.) The link Starter Assembly - Made In USA! is the one that Hoye is now selling which looks different than the exploded view on their website. Hoye says it replaces: 124450-77010 S114-146 S114-146 The "124450-77010" being the...

This starter. Not sure what all the acronyms are in your post. Hoye sellls a starter and more. The other commenter said rebuild ... Off to church ...

Errr .... did not leave it to spin. It kept spinning (without turning engine over) even after I shut the tractor off and took the key out! 😲 I had to pull a lead off the battery to shut the thing down.

Shut off tractor to open gate and pass through. When I went to restart (it always has started immediately) it kicked over and then it all went went south. Instead of chugging and turning the engine over the starter was running continuously, not turning the engine over. *Even when I shut it...

Here's what it looks like at this point .... It seems pretty obvious. (We are thinking to get a couple new radiator hoses as we go into the next stage and do some preventative maintenance while we are at it.) I noticed in someone else's post on a different model that they had trouble with a...

Turns out I had a backup we ordered from you Aaron a couple years back. So we're good for now. That "Yee haw!!" you heard last week was me in the garage.
