    YM186D starting/voltage problem

    My 186D has for some years had this thing where when I turn the key sometimes I'll just hear the solenoid click but the starter doesn't engage, but if I try the key again 1-3 times it would always eventually engage the starter and the engine would start. Kind of an annoyance but it would...

    Hydraulic problem.. I'm stumped

    I've got a Koyker 80 loader on my YM186D, and have been using the loader for at least 6yr with no problems. Recently had a fluid leak on one of the loader hose connectors on the power beyond block (at rear of tractor near seat), and the hydraulic fluid got low, loader was a bit sluggish/jerky...

    186d Foot Shift Conversion

    Never been that fond of the "tunnel-mounted" powershift selector lever/gate system on my early 186d, and had been toying with the idea of trying to get the parts from a later-style model to move the powershift up to the dash location. But after seeing a diagram and the relative complexity of...

    Want to make a subframe for my 186D with a Koyker loader

    Just recently picked up a Koyker 80 loader for my 186D, (from a heads up posted on here http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/yanmar/377988-loader-sale.html#post4741706 (Thanks Winston!) I've read and heard numerous examples of breaking small tractors in half at the bell housing while using a...

    Tire brand/experiences

    I'm in the market for new tires (R1 tread) for my 186d. Have a Firestone store in town but they don't handle tractor tires, nor does the TSC have the type or size i need (9.5 x16 rear and 6 x 12 front). So seems like they'll have to come from the internet. Was looking at "Carlisle Farm...

    Yanmar to the rescue

    Odd thing just happened-- one of my kids who was studying at the table around dusk suddenly looked out the window into the yard and said "WHOA-- a horse just went by the window!" All of a sudden there were two horses and riders-- going all around the house, in the front yard, back yard, another...

    Ports for hydraulic accessories-- can anyone tell me what i've got here?

    I'm starting to look into putting a hydraulic accessory connection/valve onto my YM-186D (probably for a hydraulic toplink initially). I have basically no experience with hydraulic systems, but am ready to learn. Saw the webpage from Hoye (Remote hydraulic install on a Yanmar) about doing...

    Are these good cylinders to design a loader around?

    I'm looking at designing a loader for a machine with 64hp. Don't know the pump capacity, but it should be quite high. It has a number of 12.5gpm valves (8 of them) already on it (if i use 2 of those valves rather than adding a separate loader control). I'd like the loader to be able to handle...

    Trencher attachment for box blade?

    Been trying to cut some shallow drainage trenches with a box blade on my 186d, by dropping one side of the 3pt hitch way down. The box blade is then angled so it cuts only on one end. It works "sort of", but not very efficiently since the box blade won't bite in very deep and can't take on...
