Pictured is former Alaska First Lady Bella Hammond checking the oil on one of the generators at their cabin/homestead on Lake Clark, Alaska. This homestead is in the registry of Historic Places. I've been reading Dick Proenneke's journals, and in 1978, then governor Jay Hammond picked him up...

This is a long shot, but I just found a tax receipt with the Model, year, and serial numbers. :) The tractor was originally in Scarborough, ME and sold in the 1980s. My grandfather was the original owner. 1954 Allis Chalmers CA Engine#: CE186670PA Serial#: CA31433 Type: Tricycle Would be...

Is anybody running Westendorf V snow plows? I love the look of a fixed V-snow plow. I'm thinking one would come in handy for our heavy wet snows when snow blowing or pushing with a straight blade is no fun. I like the cutting blade on the front to break up a crust and deflect it to the side...

This was my grandfather's tractor, I vaguely remember it. Unfortunately I don't have a better picture. I'd buy it back if I knew what model to look for.

There's a Honda 6522 coming up for auction, Oct 4th at the Keenan Auction @ Beech Ridge Motor Speedway This is a 22HP Honda Diesel. I had been helping maintain it the last couple years, the 90-year-old owner passed away this summer. It includes the deck and loader, everything works, it was...

Here's a pic from yesterday unloading a full ton of compressed sawdust bricks with my Yanmar LX. Think wood pellets for woodstoves, we mix them with cordwood. Tires are loaded with a water/methanol mix and had 1000lbs on the three point hitch. EA lists these Bradco forks as weighing 280lbs...

I replaced a broken axle on my 2006 Toro Z420 this week, it wasn't a bad job. I spread the work over three evenings. Note that this job is actually an axle upgrade. You're removing the old 3/4 inch axle and replacing it with a one-inch thick one. The kits are on Amazon and Ebay for about...

You can now order Yanmar logo'd gear. Yanmar America posted this link on their Facebook page. Yanmar Apparel and Gear The prices are pretty good. I was in need of a new work coat so I ordered one of those, a couple T-shirts, and a black hat. Shipping was only $15.

I kinda like it, looks pretty cool: YANMAR 424 MODULAR ALL-GLASS CAB SYSTEM

Snow plow demand must be up this season, my wife's uncle is driving up here to Maine from Southeast PA on Sunday to bring back a load of Boss Snow Plows for their contracting business. I find this a little odd because of the distance involved and the fact Boss plows are made in Michigan, and...

Has anyone else noticed that TYM is now using Yanmar engines for its Tier4 55hp and under offerings? TYM Tractors The tractor drivetrain business is definitely good for Yanmar! Besides its own brand, Yanmar powers CUT tractors build by John Deere, now TYM, turf machines built by Toro, and at...

This document may of be interest to you KIOTI HST owners running, ahem, Yanmar/Kanzaki transmissions. :) EX35/EX40/EX45/EX50 HST SERVICE MANUAL (PDF)

I though it would be fun to start a picture thread of our Yanmar tractors. Both old and new are fine, lets see the heritage and what they can do, post 'em up! Here are some recent ones of my LX. I fitted the lid off an old Sears cargo carrier for a canopy and went to work mowing the field...

Yanmar just updated their website, it looks great and has a lot more functional over the old one: Home - Yanmar Tractor IMHO, its a nice leap in the right direction, I predict it'll help win over some new customers. :thumbsup:

I picked up a "used" Woods TSG50 Stump Grinder yesterday for a very reasonable price. My family recently had some logging done on the homestead and I convinced them to put some of the proceeds towards a stump grinder if I could find a good deal on one. My dilemma is this grinder appears to...

I finished the install of the rear remotes kit on my LX this weekend. I wanted to share the pics and experiences with others who may be interested in doing the same. Here's the kit: Here's the documentation that came with the kit: Yanmar_LX_remote_kit.pdf 5.5MB Note, I did not follow the...

I just wanted to share this experience from yesterday. I finally decided to pull the trigger on buying the dual remote rear valve kit for my Yanmar LX. I did call around to various dealers, each one could get me the kit but each dealer was about an hour away. My actual purchasing dealer was...

Here's a peek at what's coming from Yanmar in 2014. Yanmar America Introduces New Line of Sub-Compact Tractors - YouTube

If you heat with a woodstove with an electric fan blower, and haven't checked it in a couple years, its probably clogged with dust, cat hair, dog hair, and who knows what else. I've cleaned out mine and my mother's woodstove blowers with compressed air and now the stoves are putting out...

Can someone tell me what the front rim size is on their Ex 450 or LX CC/Yanmar tractor? These Rims would have the 10x16.5 R4 tires. I have Ag Rims, but I picked up some Titan 10-16.5 R4 tires with 6 lug 16.5x8.25 Rims and they don't match up. The center hole is about 1.5 inches too big and...

A man riding an antique John Deere tractor was crushed when an antique Bangor Fire Truck lost control going down a small hill. Man crushed by antique firetruck at Independence Day parade — Bangor — Bangor Daily News — BDN Maine I own an antique army truck, I didn't make it out to any parades...

First day of Spring in Maine. I just box-bladed the driveway on Sunday to fill in the ruts and potholes and mix in all the driveway gravel I've power-broomed off the lawn from a heavy plow season. Today is Wednesday, three days later, the first day of Spring. Naturally we got a foot of snow...

This is over a month old but I didn't see it covered yet on TBN: Yanmar America Corporation and Woods Equipment Company Announce Strategic Partnership Adairsville, GA (January, 28, 2013) - Yanmar America, a major supplier of compact utility tractors, construction equipment, marine and...

The donuts start 20 seconds into the video. I'm glad this is not my Yanmar, but I'm impressed it can hold up to the abuse. The tractor is an EF494T which appears pretty close to the U.S. EX450 model. The language appears to be Thai so I'm guessing Thailand. Shuttle shift? I'm pretty sure my...

The new Yanmars are great in the snow. Here's mine pushing a foot of really heavy stuff we got today:

I work in IT and and we're a big Oracle database shop so I think this is pretty cool. I guess I'll have to put Oracle stickers on my tractor now! :) Oracle Team USA Names Yanmar Official Technical Partner I just hope the the sailing team doesn't flip the boat again this year.....

This is on the YANMAR America Corporation website: Edit: Just found the youtube version: http://us.yanmar.com/media/images/Yanmar_FINAL_WMV%20480p%20(16x9).wmv (72mb download) It features the tractors, equipment, and people working at the U.S. headquarters in Georgia, I thought it was...

I noticed these two unused wire spade connectors dangling under the hood of my LX4500. Does anybody know what they're for? It looks like they're tied into the headlight wiring, could it be for auxiliary lighting? Just curious...

Has anyone mounted a Boss RT3 Push Beam to a skid-steer type quick-attach plate? This is what I'm planning to do to phase out my 93' GMC plow truck. I'd like to keep the plow stock as I bought it new and have kept it in excellent condition over last 8 years. I plan to use the Boss 12V pump...

I just read about it on Yanmar's U.S. Website. Sounds great to me, my lawn mowers have always been Toros. Yanmar America Announces Partnership with The Toro Company to Provide Tier 4 Compliant Diesel Engines for Commercial Applications Adairsville, Georgia. (October 16, 2012) Yanmar America...

Hi All, newbie tractor and box blade operator here. I've been working on my 400' gravel driveway which has not seen any major maintenance in the last 10 years. I have no problem ripping up the driveway with the scarifers, but find it brings a lot of undesirable 4-6" rocks to the surface...

I was wondering if anyone had a lead for an engine block heater that fits a Yanmar 4tnv88 engine. I'm looking for the screw-in type to go where the plug is circled in the picture. I know these exist for Yanmars, I just haven't see one marketed to fit the 4tnv88. Thanks!

I was going over the 4TNV88 engine in my LX4500 engine today when I noticed the "suction manifold intake" has "4TNV84" embossed into the casting. 4TNV84 being the engine that goes to the turbo'd LX490x, not the LX450x. I was wondering if there's any difference with the manifolds between the...

Are there any corrosion problems with partially loading tires with a methanol/water mix? I know with Calcium you shouldn't and Rim Guard you can. I was thinking about going the methanol route because I have a partial barrel leftover from when I was making biodiesel, I figure it would be a good...

I am finally getting close to purchasing a tractor, possibly next week. I am undecided on which engine model to get. The LX 410 and 450 have 134.6cu engines that operate at 2700RPM. The LX490 model has a smaller engine at 121.7cu with a turbo that puts out a little more horsepower at 100 less...

Does anyone know the top speed of the Yanmar LXes with HST? Its missing from the spec sheet and I'm trying to do an apples to apples comparison to the other brands I'm looking at to buy. Also, does the smaller displacement engine with turbo in the LX490 mean its more fuel efficient than the...

Howdy. (my last name is Doody) I'm a new tractor shopper from southern Maine. I hope to purchase something in the 40hp range in the next 30 days or so if I can just make up my darn mind what to buy. I plan to put the tractor to work on the old family farm of 60 acres, the immediate...
