Hi! Wanted to do a follow up on my little 155d, now that there has been a little opening in my time availability to actually work on it. The right curl cylinder is the one that is leaking, can see the leak on the bucket (after it sat for a year). My loader has the front PTO mount hydraulic pump...

This is really great stuff and insight. Trying to answer some of the questions posed here back to me: 1. Does it have a decompression lever: Yes, have the decompression lever and I do use it 2. "If it isn't clapped out": I'm starting to wonder if it is. Hates to start cold, no matter if it's 90...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had, and if they thought it was worth it to convert the thermostart to an all electric heater. I've started looking at something like: https://www.amazon.com/Standard-DIH4-Diesel-Intake-Heater/dp/B01BTTZ8GG or...

Sorry for going dark on you all! I haven't been a great community member. Long story that I had to back burner the tractor for awhile. However, I'm determined now to repack the cylinders myself. @rScotty you know, I can't recall why I felt the cylinders were the problem over the valve... It...

Good morning/afternoon! My saga with the YFL155 continues, although, I think I'm getting a better handle on it (with your all's help). I have a 155d yanmar with a YFL155 FEL. I identified that the lift cylinders have an internal leak (valve is fine). I know there's little known about the YFL155...

Hi all, I have a question, and I tried my best goggle-fu skills and couldn't find an answer. As you know, I'm brand new to tractors. This question feels a little obvious. How do you engage the float function on a YFL 155, with what is probably an original loader valve control? Thanks! Jon

Those are great ideas! I get the lever arm multiplication of effective weight on the loader, I think it would be at least an interesting academic exercise to see if the difference between the two solutions makes a difference... BTW, my fab skills are more macgyver eend of the spectrum (grinders...

Thank you everyone for the suggestions and conversation. I agree, the loaders specs put it at 500 lbs lift, and my real world experience with it would say, 500 will be really putting it through it's paces. I think I'm going to go with the clamp on forks. I won't lift anything crazy, just mainly...

Thanks for the info! I found a lot of this, but, not all. Especially the loader comparisons. What I'm kind of taking away from this for the YFL-155, there isn't an option for dedicated pallet forks, or a quick attach. That leaves me with the bolt on option. Based on some feedback I've read on...

Good evening! I'm Jon and I bought my first tractor a few weeks ago. A YM155D, with a YFL155 loader. I'm a complete rookie when it comes to tractors. I've got a lot of ideas and not much knowledge or wisdom. I'd like to figure out if I can get a bolt on QA conversion for the loader. After...
