Based on a very good idea kenmac suggested while we were talking on the phone yesterday, here's how to use your abandoned VR plug to make the jumpers required for the IR Alternator conversion. Bob's-yer-Uncle, a sanitary, secure, and easy way to accomplish the required jumpers ;) Just plug...

Going Overboard For me, the above mod was prompted by an 'iffy' OEM voltage regulator. I also was dealing with very 'crispy' wiring insulation throughout my 336D. I'm an inveterate long-time car and motorcycle modifier with fairly decent experience with electrical systems. I like 'em KISS...

This not for everyone, maybe of interest if you need to replace your voltage regulator, alternator, acquire a tractor with major wiring kludges, or just like simplified electrics. This all in the context of a 336D but some (many?) other Yanmar models are identical or very similar - up to you to...

Questions relating to choosing control valves for FEL and Rear Top and Tilt applications for tractors like my Yanmar with constant-flow hydraulics (where control valves are in series with open center and power beyond / PBY) .... 1. It's been my understanding that control valves should certainly...

Anyone happen to know if the "John Deere 850 Master PTO Shield AM876124" is a correct fit replacement for a Yanmar 336 / 336D ? (would open-up the used parts search if it is ;) ) Thanks In Advance ARIMain - GREENPARTS

Just a matter of curiosity, call it 'academic interest', I'm wondering how many YM336/336D's were produced, and in what years between '80 and '91? Per my parts manual production began in February 1980 and Tractor SN's started at 00101 for the 336/336D. That's the number stamped on the right...

Facing replacement of some hoses and a leaking control valve for my YFL-1500 loader, I'm considering adding a Rear Aux valve while I'm at it. Still over twice as old as my tractor, a hydraulic top link and maybe some other things would be appreciated by these aging bones ;). I do lots of...

Does anyone know the 4WD Mechanical Ratio for the Yanmar 336D? This for the purpose of using the lead/lag calculator here to assist in selecting replacement front tires. By 'reverse engineering' based on the OEM tire specs it seems to be in the range of ~1.60 to ~1.68 but small differences in...

New JD D170 / 54" deck Lawn Mower owner. Nope, don't consider it a tractor, for me it's dedicated to mowing. Bought at Lowes rather than JD dealer simply because of the 10% veteran's discount offered every day there. My first hydrostatic tranny, I posted a question here...

After much research including reading laments about the K46 transmission, I've just purchased a D170 / 54" deck. This will be dedicated to mowing only, ~5AC of level ground in hot central Texas. In spite of many interweb posts suggesting that the K46 (variant "BE" w/internal reservoir in this...
