I bought this off eBay today for some reason. I'm thinking it's like an OBD scanner, but for a Yanmar? Has anyone here used something like this?

The computer controls them on my Kubota also, I only see the GP light come on when it is near freezing. It starts quickly without the glow plugs coming on. I actually thought the glow plugs weren't working on this mower. I went to move it one day when it was around the freezing mark, the curly...

YOU GUYS SHOULD READ WHOLE THE POST BEFORE YOU COMMENT. Like the opening post says, the glow plugs are computer controlled, they don't come on until it is near the freezing mark. I bypassed this and can turn them on manually, that's the only way it would start when the engine was cold.

It still wouldn't do a cold start without the glow plugs. The timing marks showed that it was slightly retarted. I advanced it a bit and it started this morning without using the glow plugs. If I didn't use the glow plugs it would just crank and let out white smoke. I moved the pump about two...

I broke the line, otherwise everything went well. The engine smokes less and runs smoother when I start it cold. It used to smoke white for 5-10 seconds and run rough. Now just a puff of black smoke and it runs rough for a second or two. I only did one cold start so far and I used the glow...

Thanks, if I have any results I will update this post.

Do you think I am on the right track thinking it's the injectors? It doesn't use any oil, has lots of power, and the coolant level hasn't changed either. It's not really a problem, just more of an annoyance. If I can fix it for a couple hundred dollars I will, but I don't want to spend over a...

I ordered a set for the heck of it. They were $70.00 US shipped. If they don't work I can always put the old ones back in. It looks like it is as simple as changing spark plugs on a gas engine. Bleeding the system might be the hardest part. If it is possible to get them rebuilt it would be a...

Has anyone used these with success? They cost about 10% of OEM injectors. They are $70.00 US shipped from China. I have this engine in an Exmark mower. It smokes bad and runs rough for about 10 seconds when you start it cold, and gives a little puff when it is started warm after sitting for a...

Are you going to use it every day, or once a year? I had a RTR1266 for 10 years with no problems. I have heavy soil with a lot of rocks. I use it for about 5-10 hours a year.

I ended up buying a no brand name Chinese walk behind stump grinder. It looks identical to all of the other grinders for sale here. The engine appears to be a Honda replica branded Lincon. I removed 20 stumps yesterday, and it works fine. A 3PH grinder would have been faster, but my tractor has...

Does anyone have one? There is a new one for sale five hours from me that is priced OK. It's the swing type, and it is about half the price of a Baumalight. I can't find any reviews on this model. I know TMG is kind of bottom of the barrel, but I am just using it for home use.

I ended up looking at it today, and it was a 48" not a 60". It's a little small to put on a tractor that is 70" wide. I just have mostly farm grass also.

I have been looking for a three point hitch core aerator but one of these came up for sale locally. Does anyone know anything about this type of aerator? They seem pretty rare. Do they work as well as the plug type? My soil is basically black gumbo and it is getting pretty packed in some spots...

I ended up buying a Kubota L4060 with a 74" front mount snowblower, and a loader. It does everything that I need it to do. I didn't blow snow with it yet, however since the snowblower is made for the tractor, I'm assuming it will work good. The orchard tractors have their purpose, but I think...
