I don't know old Olivers except to recognize the distinctive body style when I see one. What kind of transmission fluid is in there now? Is it 90 wt gear lube that you mention? 90 wt isn't all that much more viscous than 30 wt motor oil. Is there a more viscous gear lube - like a 120 wt...

From the photo you posted, that "YM267D" sure does look a lot like the USA model YM276D Yanmar. I wonder if the person requesting info miscopied the model number. For comparison, here's a photo of a USA model 276D Yanmar. Even the loader looks the same - and the loaders for the USA model...

I agree with Winston. It sounds almost like ou are measuring AC voltage from a decent dynamo right at the dyno outputs - and it sounds like that AC voltage is about right. In fact, AC output from the dyno at working RPM could be a little.higher and still be OK. What matters most is the DC...

Sounds like you have done a lot of work without anything fixing it. Maybe some more history and information would help. . When did the problem with the loader start? Or did it ever work right? Is your L275DT one with the optional power steering, hydraulic remotes, mower hydraulics, or any...

Our climate is dry, and what works here might not in a high humidity area. I installed our hickory T&G wood floor over a concrete floor. It has worked well for 20 years. The trick is to space the hickory off the concrete using 3/4" plywood sleepers as spacers. Also to allow a little space at...

It IS as simple as that. Either you have misplaced a zero, or your dealer did. Diagnosing the cause of low power hydraulics is pretty easily done on a stock tractor. There are standard places to check flow and pressure. Repairs might cost a couple of thousand and for that you would know...

Yep. I have experience with those Tractor Tech listed....New Holland 134, Shell, Mobil, Deere, and Kubota hydraulic transmission oils. All are excellent. I've never used the Traveler brand from Tractor Supply, but I don't have anything against it. My bias is to stay with the premium brands I...

It sounds like you are wondering why they specify those particular Full Synthetic Oils? I wonder the same thing..... The only thing I can think of is that some of the premium full-synthetic fluids will withstand higher temperatures than old dino motor oils without breaking down. But of course...

There's exceptions to everything. In your tractor I'd guess front wheel bearngs and seal life depends on the make of the tractor, how you use the loader, and the type of axle it has. We have two large tractors on our place. The M59 Kubota has that dual bevel gear offset axle just like most...

The problem is not just with Kubota, that axle is common to the part time 4wd compact tractor industry...and so are the associated seal and bearing problems. There are a few AWD small tractors, but not many. Most are European made, a few are USA.

Some things to think about.... Most of the compact tractors on the market since about 1980 use some variation of this same outer axle/bearing/seal design. And most of them - as well as the original company that invented them - recommend both/either trans/hydraulic (UDT) or multiweight gear oil...

What you have described looks like an early warning of a seal and/or bearing failure. If just a seal, then using it won't hurt anything if the oil is topped off. If the bearing is involved then you are taking a gamble on more damage - but that is why you jack it up and wrestle with it.....to...

Does the white smoke smell strongly of diesel fumes? If so, that is not coolant. It could be unburned diesel from too low of engine compression. I think a compression test followed by a radiator leak-down test will tell you which way to go. Be sure to use a diesel kit for compression test...

If you look at the parts diagram, there is an end projection just past the 30mm threads that looks like a hydraulic bump stop. I wonder if that is what bent rather than the entire rod? I believe you want a hydraulic shop that has the capability to "make custom cylinders". Hopefully that means...

Yes, that is the same thing that my Kubota dealer told me. My tractor was also out of warranty - but only by a month or so. They said they couldn't do anything. I accepted that at the time. However, apparently someone in their shop overheard that conversation because a day later the message...
