    Yanmar 1700 2TR17 fuel injector assembly

    The nozzle nut should be tightened to 28.9-32.5 ft-lbs, and the nozzle retainer should be tightened to 14.5-21.7 ft-lbs. This should give you a good starting point to make sure everything is tightened correctly. Honestly, though, I'm more in favor of turbo options because I've heard a lot of...

    Kubota L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The Tractor, The Comparison, The Modification, The Results

    I get where you're coming from with the Kubota L2501. I had one, too, but it wasn't strong enough for the challenging work I needed. It was an excellent basic tractor, but I needed something with a bit more muscle, especially for demanding jobs. I ended up checking out kubota dealers and found...

    Pole build: Structural screws vs. pole barn nails/carriage bolts

    In my building work, I've found that using structural screws like Spax is usually a better option for connecting big beams to posts. These screws are strong and hold things together nicely. They're also easier to put in and remove if you need to change something later. Whenever I need screws or...

    Now What ?

    Get a long chain, wrap it thru the back wheel and then to a tree behind the tractor. Wrap the chain to the bottom of the wheel so that when put in reverse, it pulls the tractor out. Understand? When put in reverse, the chain will pull the tractor backwards. Might have to experiment with the...

    6x6 treated posts in ground

    That's exactly what I was planning on using to build my pole barn - I have 5x5x10' non-treated poles that I was planning on using and, planning on dipping each post in roofing tar 6-12 inches above ground level. Will it work (as far as reducing rot) ? I am in deep east texas, near the Toledo...

    Scam? I think so.

    I'm a bit late on answering, not sure what others have said but, this absolutely, definitely a scam - I had almost the exact same emails on a tractor I found - Do what I did - grab the name of one of the pics she posted, then do a google search for the name of the picture - you'll find it on the...

    Mangled Housing for Hydraulic Connectors 1735M

    THANK YOU !! Who'd have thought - Joystick Assembly ! That part #61 is one part of the housing that is bent bigtime. There is also a sheet metal part that connects to the tight hand side of Part #61, as well as a cannister holding "something" on the left. Not sure what that "something" is...

    Mangled Housing for Hydraulic Connectors 1735M

    Not my actual tractor but the only pic that I could find. The parts on my tractor are too mangled to see them. I will keep looking for better pics. I have searched the parts link in this thread but still cannot find an image of the parts.

    MF 4710 Stump Bucket

    I just bought the Titan Stump Bucket for a 1735m and it works great. On small (less than 6 inch diamater), it took me less than 2-3 minutes each to yank out whole root system of 15+ trees. Took about an hour to dig out a 3 foot in diameter cedar tree. I was worried that the small end at the...

    Mangled Housing for Hydraulic Connectors 1735M

    I caught a limb between the right rear wheel and the step, causing the step to bend and smack into the housing/shroud that holds and protect the hydraulic connectors. I managed to remove the step and "bend" the housing back enough to get home but is is banged up big time. I have been searching...

    PTO Quick Connect

    I am 72.... a bit less flexible than I was when I was younger. I have the 1st one in your post and to be quite honest with you, it's simply "ok". Despite what they say, it is still difficult to "twist" or "untwist" to get it on the PTO shaft. It is easier than not having it, but not much...

    how to free spin PTO 1735M

    Can someone tell me how I can "free-spin" the PTO? Almost always have to spin it just a tad to connect the pto shaft on an attachment.

    1735m - bending sway arms - why?

    While hooking up my brush hog, I noticed that the right sway arm was bent... big time. I had previously gotten stuck and figured I must have bent if while trying to use the bucket to back myself out of a mud hole. With a little heat, I straightened it out. The left sway bar was fine before...

    warning symbol on dash - 1735m

    1725m 37 hours I was brush-hogging a large dense field yesterday, almost 98 degrees outside, and a symbol ! in a triangle appeared on the dash. Just above the hour display, showed a 1 (one). When it happened, the rpm immediately dropped. I stopped, shut the brush hog down, and lowered the...

    setting top link on 1735m and a Brush Hog

    Can someone tell me how to setup/adjust the top link for a 1735m and a 6' Brush Hog (yep, that's the name brand). I visited a YouTube video that said that the top link should be attached to the bottom hole on the tractor (there are 4 holes), that the top holes are for a box blade or a tiller...

    PTO won't engage 1735M

    I have a 1735M tractor with less than 30 hours on it and cannot get the PTO to engage. Does something have to be connected before it will engage? I might not have the shaft of my brush hog fully engaged so maybe that's the problem? Is there a trick to getting that shaft on? Old fart having a...

    Need to buy a tractor - concerned about emissions stuff (sacrifice hp?)

    I'm new here, and kinda new to tractors. I bought about 80 acres three years ago and got a low hours (200hrs) CT-28 McCormick thrown in with the deal. I've now used the tractor enough to know that I need to buy a brand where parts are more readily available. Here's my dilemma - after stalling...
