Reading through this thread, I am surprised on how many of us are close. I think I know where that Rotten Robbie is right off the main drag. One time I stopped there and made mental note they had red diesel because an hour away it would be one of the closest I get my on road diesel near a...

I am not a diesel guy. Give me a 1972 318 and I can do wonders. Thats why I ask?

AI is nothing more than a super google. I test it with medical questions all the time. This was a real world test. My DR wife tells me about the person that was at the bottom of her class. She is an “expert vet on Animal Planet”.

Wow I really thought thought the AI opinion was a concise explanation of a couple hours of research. Was really hoping for more of look at the fuel pump type of advice rather than the attack on AI.

I don’t buy pink off road diesel because they are 50 miles away. I buy the on road diesel from a station that Quarry trucks fill from. Run the same fuel in my 2500. Quality of fuel is not the issue.

Same fuel I am running in my Mahindra. May even have fresher fuel in the Yanmar.

The tractor is 400 miles away. Been tinkering with it for over a year. Had it running good before I brought it up. Air filters all new. It died last weekend. I trust this group more than I trust AI. Just thought I would throw the diagnosis out there. Not seeing anything conclusive with...

On another forum I am on we have been discussing AI. I tested GROKs response to this question. I have a Yanmar diesel tractor. It started up normally but after I drove it 10 ft, it started putting out black soot. Where should I look first to fix it. When your Yanmar diesel tractor starts...

Thanks @bmaverick I hadn’t considered the Torque. Though I think the 186 bucket is heavier than the 1526 bucket. After your answer, I am going to bring the 1526 up to do these holes. Not knowing the soil at depths, the smoothness of the 1526 3pt, 4 of the posts are for 6x6s, all add up to the...

I am developing a property 400 miles away. Using my 186D there. About ready to put in 11 posts and hesitant about the 186 doing it. It is a standard County Line PHD. PHDs, I feel are the most dangerous attachment. I am leery when using it on my larger Mahindra 1526. But I can always...

I had my Mahindra first. Bought the Yanmar to help me with develop a small flat property up near the border. Mahindra is safer where I am currently located It’s like a Cadillac. But the Yanmar is a fun old time tractor. My first tractor experience was with a 1948 McCormick. I think Rich...

@California there is a guy in Winters that has a couple in his bone yard. He likes to tinker. Pulled the FEL of one and put on mine and sold to me. He sells a lot on FB, mainly Kubotas. I can look up to double check his name if you would like.

I came across that video trying to fix it. The last minute (from injector pump to injector) is what got me up and running. I think there was air or dirt in the line that was giving me the 30-45 second crank to start. No more playing with the decompression lever. Just start in 5 seconds.

Owned my 186D for 8 months now. Been slowly going through it. I know mine has been cobbled together many times in its 43 years. Many thanks to the search feature here. Hard start with the Thermostart seems to be a common problem, mine was a bear to start. As I was changing all the...

Much better looking than mine. Good luck.
