I brought home an old Dearborn 10-156 Economy 2-Bottom Plow from the auction a couple weeks ago complete with the original manual (which is very informative). It works just fine for something made that many years ago and doesn't look half bad.

Is the factory black color around the floor area for the Vintage YM USA model tractors more a flat or matte black color? It appears to be a flat black but someone keeps insisting on matte black which looks more like a dark grayish color to me. Thanks.

I am missing fuse box covers on the Yanmar tractors. Do any of you have ideas for replacing the clear plastic part that covers the fuses? Thanks.

Someone suggested I might have trouble when selling off the YM147D due to its size and horsepower rating. At an auction on Sunday, a YM155D in neglected shape that smoked terribly and barely started sold for $3600 without any attachments. The auctioneer then auctioned off the attachments. Other...

I have an old tractor with a Front End Loader. The FEL hoses have seen better days to say the least, so those will soon be replaced with new hoses. For some reason, the former owner installed two quick disconnect fittings and left two the traditional style. I would like to change the traditional...

The tach on the YM276D (it might be mechanical) needs repair because the indicator fell off and is laying inside. Is there either a replacement tach that one may order or do any of you know of a place where you can send the tachometer in for repair? Can one order the parts and simply repair a...

Have you folks seen the price for shipping tractors since the fuel increases? It's staggering.

It's time to thin the herd of a couple of tractors after being a traitor to Yanmar and purchasing a Kubota L4330 (If Yanmar only had an older 40HP+ USA model). Soon the YM147D and one copy of the YM276D (without the loader) will move to greener pastures. 653761,730239 I will perform the...

After reading advice from various members, I purchased a first Kubota (a cab L4330). It felt strange sitting in a cab model, but no more worries about the darn ground hornets!!! Also, adjusting to the climate control will prove welcome. The L4330 has just under 900 hours on it and seems in good...

A friend inherited his father’s 2310. It ran last fall. It looks like his dad installed a remote start momentary button. It will not start. Battery is good at 12.8 volts. We removed the starter and it bench tests in working order. On the tractor when you turn the key to on, the indicator light...

I prefer older tractors in good shape and would like a tractor with more HP for the farm. I currently own three Yanmar YM series tractors but plan to thin the herd by at least one Yanmar YM276D and perhaps the Yanmar YM147D. The old Yanmar tractors are wonderful and nearly bulletproof. In the...

The Yanmar YM276D with the loader has model YFL1000 attached to it. I have a manual and brochure for the YFL1075, but not the YFL1000. Does anyone know the difference in the models between to two variations? Both were made for the YM276 models from what information is available. Thank you.

A used YFDH 276 Dozer Blade for sale in the Knoxville Craigslist looked complete but previous history told me to look for the manual. Sure enough, upon looking at the manual, all the mounting brackets were missing. I love those old manuals published by Yanmar. They save one's bacon.

One of the neighbors has noticed the tractors being used in the past and wants to "borrow one of those old red tractors" for the spring and part of the summer. I am disinclined to lend him a Yanmar and was surprised he asked. Would any of you ever lend out one of your Yanmar tractors?

Do any of you like a particular brand or type of seat for your Yanmar? I spend a fair amount of time in them mowing and such. As I creep up in age, the seat becomes more important. I am specifically looking for the YM276D, but it seems like most seats are universal in nature.

The newly acquired YM276D has a clutch that won't release. Hoye put a video online about replacing the clutch in a YM1510 and Aaron stated most models are similar. Does replacing the clutch take more than a weekend project? Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have been writing about wanting a loader for the YM276D. Well there was one on the Internet posted, a Yanmar version. The slight issue is that it's attached to another YM276D. Supposedly it has 948 hours but the clutch is frozen. It runs because of the shuttle. It needs a ride to Kentucky to...

Do most of you just keep one tractor or have more than one for various reasons. I have a YM147D set up for mowing in the summer and pushing snow in winter. The YM276D takes care of the "tractor stuff." Does anyone else do this?

Hello, I would like to add a hydraulic top link to the YM276D. Is there a need to install a remote hydraulic kit to the YM276D before getting the top link? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Quite a while back, someone mentioned a company that makes loaders for old Yanmar tractors. I could not find the thread, but someone here might recall it. Also, does anyone know the size or loader that will fit on the YM276D?

I am servicing the tractors this week, changing fluids, filters, etc. On the YM147D, the fuel filter won't snap up into place. There was not one in there to begin with which makes me suspicious. Any ideas? For $50 I can order a new assembly.

I have a YM147D with a belly mower, finish mower, and snow blade a few people want. It also has both Ag and Turf tires. I told the folks that there is more in it than it's worth. It's also the only mower set up for mowing grass. The YM276D is more of a utility tractor. It sounds as though the...

Can someone be so kind as to explain the differences/similarities between the YM220D and YM226D tractors? They both look as though they were produced during the same time frame. I found one difference is the YM226D variant has the Powershift transmission and the YM220D appears to have a manual...

The YM276D top link upper thraded portion bent. Is there a way to get this part only or does one simply replace the entire top link? If the thread size was available, one of the same thread size can be ordered as well. The current top link has a welded bar on it that makes it easy to adjust.

Is it possible to find all the parts for a 3T84A-N to rebuild an engine? If so, what kind of expense is one looking at? Thanks.

I am thinking of replacing hydraulic fluid in the YM147D and perhaps the YM276D. Someone once said he used J20C and J20D in his Yanmar YM series tractors. Is that the fluid you folks still recommend?

On the YM276D above the Power Take Off (PTO), the top link assembly has a large spring assembly I have not seen on other tractors like Kubota. What is the purpose of that large spring related to the top link?

I am thinking of installing a front end loader on the YM276D.......what options are out there? Does it make more sense to simply look for a tractor with one out there. I know some use Koyker, others Bulldog, and I saw one with X3 on it.....

In the endeavor for looking at tractors, someone asked why not get a new or "newer" model of tractor with all the bells and whistles like a Grand L Kubota in the 40-50 HP range. Athough they seem tempting, after watching some videos those don't look like the kind of tractors one repairs himself...

Does someone have the list of Gray market to US Market compatible models? Someone mentioned the YM336D is similar to a YM3110, but other than that, I can't remember. Thanks.

After looking at the YM336 in mediocre condition and considering things, I am pondering holding out for a YM3810. Time isn't a factor since the two tractors right now seem to be working. The extra horsepower of the YM3810 would work well on the farm as the "big brother." Realizing they are like...

A few years ago I asked about upgrading the YM276D to a YM336D and here we go again. Currently the barn houses a YM147D and YM276D. None have buckets, but there is a Case 1845C skid steer as well. The YM147D came first and is in great condition. It's used to mow the grass (belly and finish...

The right rear brake on the old YM276D is frozen. I watched the video and ordered the new brakes from Hoye Tractor. The brakes should arrive on Monday. How difficult a job is it to remove the brakes when they are frozen? The video mentioned the cover plate is cast and to be cautious.

There is a leak on the YM147D on the inlet line into the hydraulic pump. What are the odds that it is a seal in the pump versus the line itself. Someone stated he thought the rigid line is leaking but it seems more likely that it would be an o-ring or the pump. Are parts still available from...

I cannot get the YM276D into second gear. First, third, and fourth work great, but second simply doesn't work. It's as though there is no keyway for the stick to slide forward. Any ideas?

Here are the promised power steering pictures for the YM276D. If you need any other angles/shots then please state so in the thread.

Several months ago I found a YM276D in very good condition. It's running with absolutely no issues at all. The only new parts "needed" were a set of agricultural tires since we live on a steep hill. Now someone not too far away from the farm is offering up a YM336D for sale. It looks to be in...

On the Yanmar YM276D a slight clicking noise occurs every ten or fifteen feet of travel on the right side. Do any of you folks have any idea what that might be?

This landscape rake looks like a King Kutter to me but it might not be.... Do any of you have any idea who manufactured this one? Thanks.

Can any of you indicate what type of weights you use for your Yanmar tractor? What size of "suitcase weight" should one find for the front of a YM276D or YM147D tractor? Does one simply use the John Deere weights? Thanks.

The small grapple for the farm arrived from Faver today. It looks as though it's heavy duty and should work well.

In looking for Ag tires and rims/wheels for the YM276D, I noticed that the JD 870 has the same size front wheels/tires in the specifications (7 x 14). Coincidentally it also has the same size turf wheel/tire at 25x8.50-14. How can one determine if the JD 870 wheel has the same hole pattern and...

You folks provided a lot of information and suggestions for slightly larger Yanmar tractors. After all the information, I decided to stay with the American models and found a YM276D that can sit in the garage for a while. It's been well used and seems to have a lot of outdoor time based on the...

I have a Yanmar 147D and the longer it works on the farm the more enjoyable it is to own the little thing. That said, in order to use larger implements, the fleet needs to expand for things like using a tiller or yard plane, back blade, etc. What are your folks perceptions on the YM336D and...

I need a weight distribution hitch for a car hauler that hauls the tractors and skid steer. The max weight of the heaviest thing it will haul is about 6,000 pounds and the truck is rated to haul 11,300 total. What hitch do you folks recommend? Watching youtube showed some basics, but it didn't...

Is it possible to utilize an over-running clutch with the YQM-48 belly mower on the YM147D? Actually, I am wondering if it's needed at all as well. Thank you.

Does a YM147D have sufficient power to use a Yanmar RS1200 48" tiller? There is a RS1200 for sale locally at far too high a price ($900) and it really might not be worth the effort to get it down to an appropriate price. That said, if the seller does accept a reasonable offer, will the 147D have...

I have a Yanmar 147D with turf tires/wheels but also agricultural tires. They are the proper size for the Yanmar 147D Ag tires of 5 x 12, and 8 x 16 rear. Does anyone know where one can purchase the appropriate ag wheels for the YM147D? I might try Hoye.

I need to purchase a PTO shaft "coupler" but can't seem to find what they call it. The part I am wanting to purchase has half the coupler on the PTO shaft from the tractor and the other half stays on the implement when separated. They are covered in plastic. It also allows the implement to slide...

My Yanmar compact tractor is missing a small turnbuckle for the 3-point hitch. Your help on finding a supplier for a similar turnbuckle would be appreciated. The one that is in place is pictured below. Thanks.

We are a semi-retired company in our fifties who purchased a hobby farm. To help on the farm, we purchased a Case 1845C skid steer with a 72" toothed bucked and a set of Xtreme duty pallet forks. A boom seems to offer a logical choice for a next attachment for the Case, but we lack sufficient...
