I was bored today, I made a little video of my 1401 2wd tractor. I've had it for about 5 years now and probably put about 400 hrs on it so far. The only thing I've done to it is normal maintenance and I had to change the front tires. I use it for clearing snow, mowing, firewood collecting...

Anyone know a good place to get some 4.5x10 tires for the front of my 1401? It's 2wd, the tires are dry rotted and the tubes are sticking out the sidewalls. Thanks

Came across this video the other day, pretty good entertainment. Wacky Vids - Funny Movies, Crazy Clips, Extreme Videos, Pranks, Bloopers

Was just browsing ebay looking for a used laptop and came across eBay: TOSHIBA MODEL 1805-S204 LAPTOP W/ACCESS LIKE NEW (item 140043707235 end time Oct-22-06 05:12:58 PDT) auction. There's obviously something weird going on here, but I can't seem to understand what exactly is going on with...

Hi, I am installing a loader onto my yanmar 1401 that I bought a few months ago. I built all the brackets etc. and have it mounted to the tractor. What I was hoping was someone could help me with the hydraulic connection. From what I understand I need to cut a section out of the...

If a metric bolt has 8.8 printed on it , is it about equal in strength to a grade 8 bolt? Thanks.

Hi , I found a used loader for 400$ but for me to mount it I need to know a few details. I was wondering if someone could help me out by letting me know how their loader mounts up to frame on a 1401 or similar tractor. Does it mount just to the bell housing or to bell housing and side of...

I have put over 100 hours on my little 1401 since I bought it. It seems the brakes have gone beyond their adjustment and aren't working like they should. I almost backed down a big hill I didn't have any intention of backing down So after reading through the archives on this forum I decided...

Here is something I cobbed together with my new used arc welder I just bought. Surprisingly it works better than I had anticipated. I used a drawbar that I bought at TSC for 22$ some scrap metal and a 10" plow type blade I bought also from TSC for 4$. Just welded everything together and...

I've been fortunate enough to get infected by the blaster worm. I didn't even download anything to get it. It infects users of win2k, NT?, and XP operating systems. Be sure to get the patches from microsoft to keep your pc's from becoming infected. If your pc has been acting strangely lately...

I just got a welder given to me by a friend of mine. I really don't know too much about welders or electricity. So maybe someone here can help me with some of my questions. It is a homelite 135dc welder with I think a 5 or 8 hp robin engine. It has what looks like an electrical outlet on the...

Hi. I'm having a problem with my yanmar 1401. There seems to be fuel leaking from the exhaust manifold. I checked the head gasket and it doesn't seem to be leaking. Also it doesn't seem to be using any oil and the anti-freeze level is the same as far as I can see. The anti-freeze also doesn't...

I wanted to know if the oil pressure and temp lights were supposed to come on briefly when I first turn on the ignition key? I've never seen the lights come on my 1401. Thanks.
