Since I bought my YM1500 last year, it has always been a bear to get stopped, so I decided today to look into the brakes. Got one wheel and side shield off, then got the cover off w/brake shoes attached. The brake cam would not move, so evidently I was only using one side to brake, that being...

My tiller came new offset to the right by 4". With this offset, the tiller will only cover one wheel track. My plan is to center up the mounting so the tiller covers both wheel tracks (48"). Since I'm new at this, and I don't know what I don't know, is there any DISADVANTAGE to making this...

Last weekend I made the 2 1/2 hour drive to the Greenville AgriSupply and picked up a new Caroni 48" FL1200 tiller. I saw the baggie on the PTO and figured that was the manual. Much to my surprise after getting home, I find that it is indeed the instructions....for the PTO only. I contacted...

I grabbed the front wheel on my Yanmar 1500 yesterday, gave a little pull at the top of the wheel and was surprised at the amount of play. I'm betting the previous owners never did any checking of the wheel bearings and was thinking of pulling them out, greasing them and putting them back in...

I've been trying to find out why my YM1500 doesn't seem to be charging and think it may be the voltage regulator. I checked the dynamo and it put out the following AC voltages: 15.8@ 1000RPM, 20.3@ 1500RPM and 27.6@ 2000RPM. When everything is hooked up, I'm only getting 12.5VDC at the battery...

I really need to get my little Yanmar YM1500 under cover, along with my scoop, box blade, lifting pole and trailer carrier. I've got a good 20X20 area just inside my fence to put up a shed to cover these and any additional implements I may buy in the future. The Yanmar is 4' by about 6' long...

I'd like to keep the front end of my YM1500 on the ground when moving implements around, so it looks like some weight up front is in order. I have read the threads on making your own vs. buying them, and will probably buy them since I don't have the equipment for bending rebar or other metals...

Picked up a YM1500 yesterday after doing lots of research and trolling many, many threads on different forums. The fellow had the injectors rebuilt, put in new rings and honed the cylinders, and replaced several worn and broken bits a pieces. The only issue I saw (or heard) was the starter. He...

Hello everybody! Looking at purchasing a Yanmar 1500 on the advice of my brother who owns one and has been very happy with it. Have my eyes on one that has been rebuilt by owner and starts within one turn of the motor. I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time lurking and learning over the next...
