Hi guys. My new to me AC 4800 Tigrone is going well. I worked out the gearbox with the help of the PO. I don't think my oil temp light is connected to anything. I still don't have a decent wiring diagram but I can't find a sender anywhere. There are two plugholes in the sump and I figure I...

Hi folks. I recently bought an AC 4800 for my steep block. It is a late 80s tractor with 1600 hrs on the clock. The hours aren't necessarily correct. When I got it home I realised that the tacho stalls at 1600rpm, so it could be double that. Anyway, I couldn't drive it much to test it in the...

Hi folks. We are in the process of improving some sheep country. We are slashing the fields for mulch and I want to improve the pasture with some perrennial rye grass and clover seed. I figure it should be fairly easy to add a single tine/seed dropper+hopper/roller to the front left hand...

Hi folks, it's been a while since I visited. We have moved 1000 miles south from Brisbane in Queensland Australia to just outside of Melbourne in Victoria. In the process we have bought a 200 acre ex-Angora goat farm that we are now living on. Life is good and we are close to family again. My...

Hi guys and gals. I've just finished fitting a rebuilt steering box in my old YM2000. To do this I had to remove the bonnet and dashboard assembly, the fuel tank and remove all the electrics in the process. Problem is, I have one wire that I can't account for. There is a green wire with a...

Hi folks. I recently greased my steering linkages and adjusted the steering box. My steering is now rather heavy and there is still around 3-4 inches of slop in the steering wheel. Could over tightening the box cause the heaviness?:confused:

And another thing. My Green ym2000 has a removable rod around 2ft long and 10mm thick clipped to the left hand side chassis rail. I can only think that it is a prop for the bonnet but I can't work out where it goes. My tractor has an after market air filter set up with a barrel type filter in...

Hi folks, Merry Christmass to one and all. I'm about to buy a new Rad cap for my Yanny. The one on it is a non- return variety [wrong, I know]. It has japanese script on it and is stamped 0.9. I have checked the Hoye site and my manual and done a search here but can't find a reference to the...

Hey guys. Does anyone know of a conversion for the gearbox/hydraulic oil filter for the YM2000? When I changed the oil earlier this year the mesh filter was bent and covered in 1/8th inch of gunk on each side. Also the O-ring wasn't seating properly. I was wondering if anyone had experimented...

Folks, I've decided to get a new battery for my YM2000. The old one is shot and I want to see if I've fixed the hydraulics this weekend. My manuals are down the farm with the tractor[150miles away]. Can anyone help with specs, cca's, AH's etc? Wombat

G'day folks. I've got a bit of a problem with the little Yanny this week.:confused: I drilled some post holes for my neighbor on Sunday The soil was hard and we had been putting some extra weight on the PHD by lowering his FEL bucket onto it. This worked a treat but may have overworked the...

Hey folks, my green Ym2000 is going fine but the rubber fuel lines are cracking. I live over 100 miles from my farm and I am trying to find out the tube size so I can buy some before I go go down there next week. I need the lines from fuel tank to filter, filter to pump and injectors to tank...

Folks, I have a Mitsubishi S1363 tiller which I use behind my Yanmar YM2000. It seems to work fine but I have a couple of questions. 1. Should all the tines be facing the same way? 2. What oil should I use in the main shaft? 3. Is the small electric motor to adjust till depth? Thanks for the...

Hi folks, I have a Mitsubishi 1636s tiller which I want to use for the first time this weekend. It seems to have plenty of oil in the shaft surround and no visible leaks. What oil should I use to top this up and how much should there be. I will be using this behind a YM2000. I would appreciate...
