The dog has obviously made up his mind where he wants to live. Respect his decision.

Been putting bandaids on my muffler for some time now and seeing I needed to order a new tie rod end from Hoye anyway, thought I'd give the Yannie a treat and get him a new muffler. As you've probably guessed by now, even after 4 days of soaking with PB Blaster, ALL the mounting studs broke ...

My FEL started to drip from 1 of the lift cylinders in the spring. Then the other one, the the curl cylinders. I hate to bannish the poor guy from the barn but he's making a mess of the floor. Anyone ever rebuilt these cylinders on a factory 240 loader? Funds are a bit tight so I would like to...

Going into my 2nd witer winter the 240. Last year anything under 40 degrees and it would not even think about starting unless I used the TS. Even then it was like pulling teeth. This year It'll start like a champ as low as 30 so far. I haven't even filled the TS reservoir yet. I'll just wind it...

I've been keeping a look out for a new hood. Mine is crinkled, bashed and missing headlights. I came across an ad for a YM2000 with a spare hood. I emailed the seller and he is willing to sell the hood seperately. Excellent condition with headlights. My question is willthe 240 and 2000 hoods...

Looking for YM240 or 2000 hood with straight metal and headlights.

From time to time I'll either pull or push something that just won't move and when I push in the clutch I'll hear a quick ratcheting sound from the trans. My old IH did the same thing. Is this normal? Doesn't do it under normal circumstances, only when something won't budge. (i.e. stump, rock...

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a way to get a bit more back curl in their bucket. The pic in my avatar has it curled back as far as it will go with hyd. cylinders flat against the FEL arms. Thought maybe someone here may have fabricated something or knows a trick to get it back some...

Since owning my 240D I have only used the diff lock once or twice, mainly just use 4wd in the slippery stuff. With all the precipitation here lately things are getting quite sloppy and locking the diff would be a little extra insurance when travelling through this greasy Arkansas mud. My...

Time for a set of dentures for my Yanmar 240D. LOTS of greenbriar and assorted underbrush to clear and a little light digging. Gumming this stuff ain't gettin' it! I've been doing quite a bit of reading up on the subject and am undecided between adding individual teeth or a tooth bar. I was...

I have an opportunity to pick up a 240D that is not running for $2200. The owner claims it ran fine all summer and after sitting for a few months would not start and had quite a bit of fuel in the oil pan. Other than that seems to be in very good shape (sheet metal, rubber, etc.) Does this seem...

Been almost a week since I briught my new (old) Yannie home. Thought I had everything up to snuff and realized I had not checked the front axle fluid yet. Nothing in there! Desperately needed to use it today to collect firewood so filled it (with all the oil I had) to about 1/2" below the plug...

I've been having a hard time (to say the least ) getting my 240D to start on the recent cold mornings. Then after some reading here and poking around under the hood I foud the "TS". Put a little fuel in the bowl, tried again and...nothing. After checking all connections, found the outer nut on...

This may be a stupid question, but what is the black knob directly under the seat for? Seems to be an adjustment for something but I don't want to even mess with it till I know what it is.
