Just to provide a conclusion to the repair, the re-assembly was pretty uneventful and straightforward. In the reassembly and first startup, I ended up with a bad voltage regulator that kept my alternator from charging...that kept me baffled for a little while. I had a spare on the half tractor I...

Ok, here is an update on this repair. I was able to get the piston unstuck from the 3 point lift cylinder. It wasn't easy, but I think it could have been worse if it had metal rings rather than plastic and rubber. The problem came from the fact that the piston was out the back just a smidge and...

Ok, so here is part of the disassembly. I already had one fender off of the tractor in the process of working on the brakes, so that was a fortunate coincidence. I put a bunch of alignment marks on my lift arms and housing to help with re-assembly, but then noticed there are already some case...

In another thread, I am detailing the process of doing a clutch repair. However, in that process, I have realized that my 3 point hitch is stuck in the up position. I have read many of the threads related to this and have already removed un-screwed the valve under the seat...In fact, I have...

Ok...Here is another update. You may not have to be that careful with the dead-blow hammer in taking off the bell housing. Turns out there is a nut in the center of the mid-plate that looks like it keeps that mid-plate from moving during this part of the disassembly (see picture below). Also, a...

To update the thread, I was able to find a parts source within driving distance. I have to give a shout-out to Tenena England at Cross Creek Tractor in Culman, Alabama. She is awesome squared! They had a 2wd YM2010 that had most of the parts I needed. She even went out in the rain to check to...

I think the tractor passed through Vietnam on its way here. I bought this YM2010d and two other YM1500d's in a package deal, where I kept the 2010 and sold the other two. I think I have about $2800 in the tractor. I complain, but I have put more than 400 hours on this tractor since I bought it...

Here are some pictures of the progress...Forgive the blue tarps. Rain happened. Here is the clutch shaft with the "expert" repair by the PREVIOUS OWNER. Here is the inside of the spline coupler end that was welded onto the clutch shaft. The is a ring clip in there. I cleaned this out as best...

It's been a while since my clutch went out on my 2010D. It sat in my barn for a few years because I had access to other equipment that could use to accomplish some of the same jobs...however, I got a bee in my bonnet and decided to start on it this past week. My shop and my house are in...

First of all, I have used this forum several times to find useful info about my tractors and am very appreciative of the knowledge here. However, this is my first post. I have a yanmar 2010d (4wd) that i use to do light work in and around a couple of rental properties. I was bush-hogging an...
