    2210D Water pump to engine?!

    Hi everyone! It痴 been a long time since I致e posted here. I致e started to use my 2210D more often again, and decided to revamp the cooling system. Acid washed the radiator, replacing the fan, belt, all of the hoses and water pump. Got the new pump in, and for the life of me cannot remember which...

    YM-2210D PTO cover plate!?!?!😂

    I caught my ROPS on a low-hanging tree branch and cracked the PTO cover😳. I just found one off of a parts tractor, and am trying to get the old one off. I drained the hydraulic fluid (cleaning the filter!) and put the plug back in. I got a new seal and gasket from Hoye Tractor. I have all the...

    Advice/comments for stainless welding project

    I need to weld 1/4" 316L to a 1&1/4" stainless shaft. I will be cutting out an opening in the 1/4" stainless for the stainless shaft to fit into. It's a boat rudder replacement/fix. The old 1/4" piece cracked and bent, I feel it's beyond repairing. I just bought a Thermal Arc/Tweco Fabricator...

    scrapyard box blade...first fabrication project

    I finally did it!:cool2: It still needs: a second 1/4" plate on one side (the back and other side are made up of two 1/4" plates welded together) and the front and rear cutting blades. I lucked out the day I went to the scrap yard, they had a 60" 4"x4" square tube and a piece of 1/4" plate...

    Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster question

    I bought a used Cutmaster 38 with no torch, found an sl60 torch from a separate seller. The torch does not have an ATC connector. The Cutmaster 38 requires an ATC connector. TD's specs and info did not specify that a non-ATC connector wouldn't fit, and the tech support people tell me there's no...

    New to welding.....having a blast w/projects!!

    Had some projects to do and didn't wanna pay someone to do 'em....so I bought a little Lincoln Weld-Pak and got to work. First impression? This is *not* easy:eek: My first attempts at laying down a bead were laughable.:laughing: Today's project was welding a couple of grab hooks onto the top of...

    Front drive case schematic?

    While I'm working on the tractor and have the transmission drained I'd like to find a new piece for the front drive case. I have no idea what the part number is, and could really use a schematic. I've always been impressed with how you guys post up those exploded views of a particular part...

    Once in a lifetime........

    My R.O.P.S. was struck by a flying 1500-1800 lb. rock (don't ask, it's a long story involving other people and equipment) which glanced off the fender and dented it. AFTER tearing the R.O.P.S. right out of the transmission case, leaving four holes. This happened days ago, and has taken all this...

    550XP is here.....and MMed! :D

    It finally got here! A very pretty machine, somehow much smaller than I imagined; it hardly looks as big as the 445! I switched the sprocket (I will be running 3/8 50 ga. chain) and did some judicious drilling out of the muffler (ahem). Ground and sanded everything smooth, painted the muffler...

    445 X-torque

    Hi folks, My 445 runs cruddy, loses RPMs and power after a few seconds, seems like it's bogging down. The fuel is good, and fresh, I took the air cleaner off (for just a second) and it didn't get better, the spark plug looks fine. The saw is not yet two years old, I have taken down and cut up a...

    NOW what!??!??!

    I ran the tractor sideways on a hill with an almost empty tank, sucked air. This machine has always been balky when it's time to bleed the air out.......this time was worse than ever. It wasn't even sputtering even though it was showing fuel at the injectors. I was patient, and re-bled it a...

    Bush hog busted?

    Howdy everyone!! It's been a long winter......my tractor was down with the 4wd gearbox bearings needing replacement. I finally got it back together, and have been working the tractor like crazy this past week; I have cleared brush and trees that haven't seen daylight in decades, got stone...

    4WD not engaging.

    I got stuck a few times while mowing. Tried the differential lock, no luck. Shifted into 4wd. Nothing. I can usually get out of almost anything with the differential lock, UNLESS the tires dig a hole.....:o I'm wondering where to begin; I doubt anything is mechanically wrong with the 4wd...

    fuel starved?

    The latest issue I'm having is fuel starvation. The filter is brand new, the tank is well vented, no air leaks apparent. The tractor runs beautifully for a few minutes, then dies out. I'm not sure what it could be...something stuck in the line to the bowl? I'm gonna look at it in the...

    Fuel line

    I was bush hogging last night when I started getting the signs of sucking air. Plenty of fuel in the tank; so I bled the system. Wouldn't run. I'm getting fuel out the injector pump side from both lines, but only one cylinder is getting fuel. My question is: can the line be cleaned/blown...

    mower mounting confusion......

    Ok, I went and picked up my new (to me) 48" belly mounted, rear pto driven mower. Frankly, I have very little idea of how to mount the dang thing. Looks like it needs a toplink? Got one. But are the chains on the mower supposed to go on the two lower three point arms, or do the mower pins go...

    Water temp gauge?

    What do I need? Is there a certain type or anything? I don't want to buy the wrong one. Would it make sense to install oil pressure and amp gauge as well? I'm looking forward to hearing some ideas. The tractor seems to be running just fine, but I am not willing to take any chances on...

    Head gasket fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Finally got the time between Church & fancy Easter lunch to get out to the garage, get the head on, set the valve clearance, and get her back together. The head checked out good for cracks, but was slightly warped in the center, and that's where the gasket had blown. The machine shop ground it...

    prying(?) head off.....

    I DID dig the tractor out......have the head bolts off. The head doesn't want to budge; I've tried some "dead blow" hits, prying, no luck. Any hints? The other thing I'm thinking about is a temp gauge, so I only do this once:cool: I seem to remember a special type of fitting....? Any help...

    head gasket.........(sheesh)

    After getting the engine running nice and cool, AND watching it like a hawk, checking temperature with a thermometer after running it each and every time...... I noticed a distinct "exhaust-y" noise yesterday. It seemed like it was less smooth; it was easier to tell by this new sound that the...

    Tooth bar!!!

    Mounted the tooth bar; started digging a pit to burn all the brush we cleared and piled w/the grapple. The next best thing to heavy equipment!! and only 26 hp!! I was very surprised and gratified that I was able to get a full bucket of dirt with every pass, the thing worked better than I...

    transmission overfilling ?

    After putting the new hydraulics into operation I figured I should top off the transmission,what with some leaking from changing hoses/fittings, and all the new hoses/cylinder/valve. It's over-full.....considerably (read: I overfilled it, considerably:o). Is this dangerous? I know it's...

    grapple up and running!! :)

    `Fired her up....tightened some leaky fittings, marched over to a handy log.....and.........and........bent the bucket!!!!! I just might need some plate steel support:o. For some reason, I thought that 2500 psi wouldn't bend the top of my bucket!!:laughing::laughing::laughing: But I am...

    2210D radiator sub-tank

    I noticed the sub-tank (that's what the manual calls it) was empty last week. I filled it to the line, and topped off the radiator. After I shut the engine down the next time I ran it, I heard a gurgling noise.....fluid going from the radiator into the sub-tank. The next time I looked (this...

    Almost there with grapple hydraulics...?

    My loader valve has a high pressure line from the hydraulic pump going into it. It has a return line which goes into a steel line that heads back to the pto. My tractor is a Yanmar 2210D.....am I wrong about the return going to the pto? Does it in fact return to the tank (transmission)? When...

    grapple mounted...next hydraulics

    The new grapple arrived today. Man, is this thing built well!! Four holes (and plenty of oil) later, and it's on. Have to figure out valve type, hose length, and a few other things to get the hydraulics set. I now have a decent understanding of how hydraulics work; shouldn't be too hard ;)...

    need advice to install grapple

    I ordered a grapple for the Koyker 120 on my Yanmar 2210D. I'm a very new tractor owner & have zero hydraulics experience; want to get it right the first time. I am including two pics of the loader valve to see if it's able to have a power beyond fitting added. I want to include quick connect...

    Hydraulics (again)

    OK, ordered a grapple for my bucket, going with a power beyond fitting from loader valve. I believe the grapple has 3/8" fittings. The loader is a Koyker 120 with separate lift and curl controls. So......what the heck do I need to buy, exactly?:o People have already told me how to do this...

    1st issue w/ new tractor :(

    Not a big deal (I hope!)...I see some gear oil that looks like it came from the front right axle. A few drops which landed very close to the inside of the front right tire. Did I blow a seal? What happened?? how do you access the oil? (don't see a cap or anything that looks like one) The...

    Dumb (newbie) idea.......?

    I just read about how Deepndirt towed a 13'x5' trailer with his tractor. Would it be criminally stupid of me to haul my (1800-2000lb) 16' equipment trailer around my somewhat hilly 5 1/2 acres with the 2210D?? It seems like the perfect thing to load with brush or large stones. It also seems...

    finish mower compatibility

    I'm looking at a Yanmar 48" finish mower model YOM48 serial- 274 Can anyone tell me if it'll fit my 2210D? It was on a smaller machine; it attaches to the 3 point hitch, yet is a belly mower.........didn't know they made such a thing :)

    hydraulics.........?

    I am thinking of adding a grapple to my loader bucket, I have a mile of stone walls. :) I also need to carry brush & logs. I have a vague understanding about needing a remote hydraulics set-up.....and I just saw that Hoye sells an "add a loader" adapter for the tractor hydraulic pump. I...

    New owner!!!

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to stop in & say hello. I've been on this site lurking, sucking up information. I just bought a YM2210D w/fel & 5' bush hog. It's from a private party, who bought it from LMTC. I'll be picking it up in Va. in a couple of weeks, and am very excited to get it back...
