Reading through this thread, I am surprised on how many of us are close. I think I know where that Rotten Robbie is right off the main drag. One time I stopped there and made mental note they had red diesel because an hour away it would be one of the closest I get my on road diesel near a...

I am not a diesel guy. Give me a 1972 318 and I can do wonders. Thats why I ask?

AI is nothing more than a super google. I test it with medical questions all the time. This was a real world test. My DR wife tells me about the person that was at the bottom of her class. She is an “expert vet on Animal Planet”.

Wow I really thought thought the AI opinion was a concise explanation of a couple hours of research. Was really hoping for more of look at the fuel pump type of advice rather than the attack on AI.

I don’t buy pink off road diesel because they are 50 miles away. I buy the on road diesel from a station that Quarry trucks fill from. Run the same fuel in my 2500. Quality of fuel is not the issue.

Same fuel I am running in my Mahindra. May even have fresher fuel in the Yanmar.

The tractor is 400 miles away. Been tinkering with it for over a year. Had it running good before I brought it up. Air filters all new. It died last weekend. I trust this group more than I trust AI. Just thought I would throw the diagnosis out there. Not seeing anything conclusive with...

On another forum I am on we have been discussing AI. I tested GROKs response to this question. I have a Yanmar diesel tractor. It started up normally but after I drove it 10 ft, it started putting out black soot. Where should I look first to fix it. When your Yanmar diesel tractor starts...

Thanks @bmaverick I hadn’t considered the Torque. Though I think the 186 bucket is heavier than the 1526 bucket. After your answer, I am going to bring the 1526 up to do these holes. Not knowing the soil at depths, the smoothness of the 1526 3pt, 4 of the posts are for 6x6s, all add up to the...

I am developing a property 400 miles away. Using my 186D there. About ready to put in 11 posts and hesitant about the 186 doing it. It is a standard County Line PHD. PHDs, I feel are the most dangerous attachment. I am leery when using it on my larger Mahindra 1526. But I can always...

I had my Mahindra first. Bought the Yanmar to help me with develop a small flat property up near the border. Mahindra is safer where I am currently located It’s like a Cadillac. But the Yanmar is a fun old time tractor. My first tractor experience was with a 1948 McCormick. I think Rich...

@California there is a guy in Winters that has a couple in his bone yard. He likes to tinker. Pulled the FEL of one and put on mine and sold to me. He sells a lot on FB, mainly Kubotas. I can look up to double check his name if you would like.

I came across that video trying to fix it. The last minute (from injector pump to injector) is what got me up and running. I think there was air or dirt in the line that was giving me the 30-45 second crank to start. No more playing with the decompression lever. Just start in 5 seconds.

Owned my 186D for 8 months now. Been slowly going through it. I know mine has been cobbled together many times in its 43 years. Many thanks to the search feature here. Hard start with the Thermostart seems to be a common problem, mine was a bear to start. As I was changing all the...

Much better looking than mine. Good luck.

That was done long before I bought it. I would put it in the ugliest Yanmar thread but it looks too good from a distance :)

The property I bought it for is completely flat. I only have one field and around the house that I dare to drive it here. This may be a grey market, Its badged Red but the underside of hood and fenders are orange

I installed a 24 inch bar on my Mahindra on the ROPS (dont put on the upside and have to move like I did) for 25 from A + a trailer plug which also runs my sprayer. I think the Yanmar has almost as good light But no ROPS to mount.

Another reason I went with my direction. Overspray on the inside of the lenses.

I had no lights, harness or switch. Thanks to HF and ATV LED spotlights I found a solution. If you are a purist/restorer read no further. ATV spot lights worked in the space. Pulling the hood off made life easier. Wiring harness is way too big, so if you have wiring-don’t bother. I like...

I park my implements next to the barn where I had dug out because water flowed in the barn clean outs. A couple of bags of crusher stone, sitting on pallets, an occasional spray of Glyphosate, It’s the perfect place.

@bmaverick QH fit just fine. Wish I bought a smaller top link though. May trade them on tractors. If you look close I only have 1 bolt in the top hook. Plan on puttting a pin to support behind. I use pins in my other set up, to make it easier to change attachments on the fly. Lights are...

I spent part of Sunday getting the QH and box blade adjusted. All my dragging attachments have bushings installed, so I had to buy another QH. Wife hadn’t used her account recently, so HF sent her a 30% off coupon. $113 out the door. Kinda like the extra weight on the back with such a...

@bmaverick Thanks i picked up with pretty good deal. Dealer leases them to pull crop wagons. Puts a loader on and sells at 3-400 hours with the full 7 year warranty I walked out tractor, loader, fork attachment, box blade for the price you posted.

It seems to work. I am only looking at this tractor for a couple years to get some stuff done. I just want it to perform so I dont have to bring big red up and back. In some ways, its a more powerful little beast than big red. I figure what i have into it, is about what i can sell it for...

Not exactly stock

Hey mine dosen’t even have a key. Just a toggle switch for the glow plug equivalent and a push button for the starter. Told you I got it from a tinkerer and i am trying to figure it out. My Mahindra is like a Cadillac. Was used to my FILs McCormick. This Yanmar is somewhere in between

Went out to do videos. Figured out the PTO. Feeling kind of stupid. It works fine when you don‘t have the clutch pushed in

I have one of those strange 3 speed below and 3 speeds up top trannys. If i can put short videos up I will try tomorrow

Screen cover below your left knee, Filter on the right-Napa 1525 even though I did a WIX because all the NAPA dealers were all out in the state The dip stick will show fluid, but on a second dip not much. I think my jerking FEL is due to low fluid. More interested in why the PTO is slow, but...

@bmaverick Thanks I have been working with a 186 parts list and a 165 manual. When I flushed and filled I used JD20 and cleaned the screen before final fill. Had to wait for a new screen cover. The info I had found said 2.1G for the tractor hydraulic capacity. I wasn’t sure how much more for...

I have had a Mahindra 1526 for a couple years. It kinda feels like a Cadillac. The Yanmar 186d feels like an old time tractor. But I kinda like it. I bought it to develop a 3A flat property so i don’t have to truck Big Red 400 miles one way. I can’t use it here because of the hills and no...
