    Hi Everyone, I have a 3110D and it has developed a leak right on the centre casting of the front axle. There is a bolt in the bottom of the casting, I assume the sump plug for draining?

    DIY Toothbar Yanmar 1610d

    Hello, I have made a tooth bar using steel. I had it laser cut for ease and then welded it up on the bucket to ensure it fitted. Nothing difficult and it is rough and ready but it will do the job. Welded some hooks onto the front at the same time. I'm sure you've seen the same design...

    Can I shorten a solid splined PTO shaft and re-weld?

    Hello, I have just bought a second hand Yanmar RS 1303 tiller in pretty good condition. The problem is that the PTO shaft is too long. Now it's not a regular new type of shaft which is nice and easy to shorten, it's a solid cylinder of metal splined for the last 6 inches and just plain...

    Can I fit a towball to a transport box?

    I have a transport box on the back of my Yanmar1610D, it's used to throw stuff in and also to offset the weight of the FEL on the front. I want to be able to tow a trailer and don't want to have to remove the transport box as I will be towing the trailer to somewhere I will then unhook it, fill...

    Loader Bucket Toothbar in the UK?

    Hello, I have bought a Yanmar 1610D with a VTek V2a loader. I would like a tooth bar but can't seem to find a British supplier, I can find individual teeth but not a bar like the Piranha you have over there. Anyone in the UK know a supplier or is it a case of making one/having one cut? Thanks.

    How much rear weight needed?

    Hello, I am waiting for delivery of my Yanmar1610D with FEL in 2 weeks time. I know I need to keep the tractor balanced and know that I need to keep enough weight in the back to counteract the front but if I have a rear transport box on the back, how much extra weight do I need to put in it...
