Brake overhaul

[HoyeTractor]

I know the 1900 is a rare model but when they show the part for that model they should at least take the time to make sure it works or put a statement that you may have to modify it.

The problem is that on those "rare" models like the 1600, 1900, 2200, 2700 Yanmar seems to have made changes to things and did not note it in the parts books.

After reading about the problem you have had with the brake rods I investigated as far as I could and could not track down the problem. I found around 40 of those sets sold to customers with 1900 & 1600 tractors. Only 2 orders had a note about any problems and the customers in those cases said the linkages we sent were a little too SHORT! I could not find any record of anyone else having problems with them. According to the parts book those rods that we sent are correct. We have also used those rods ourselves on other tractors and they fit exactly like they should. Apparently there is either a design change somewhere that was not documented... at least not in any of the YM1900 parts books we have ever seen or your tractor was modified at some point in its life.

The parts we sell should fit perfectly or there is a problem and we need to know about it. We always check random batches of parts but it is impossible to check every part that leaves our warehouse. If we are made aware of a problem we will correct it or if it is one of those cases where there are no other options then we will note it on our website. Otherwise, please tell us if there is ever a problem with any of the parts we sell.

Here's a picture of the original brake rod and the new rod. The new rod is screwed in as far as it will go and the original has about 1/2" of threads still showing on each rod. The new rod assembly is an exact replacement for the clutch rod but not for the brake rods. In my manual, the 1600 and 1900 both show the same part number 191450-37760 for the long rod. The new short rod matches the existing rod length. The long clutch rod is listed as 191450-22470. I don't know if the part numbers got mixed up or someone thinks the brake and clutch rods are the same. My parts book shows them to be different rods. I purchased my service and parts manuals from Hoye.

There were other parts and I PM'd you on those.

I found it best to have different Size Tractors set up for different tasks. Some implements work much better then only having 15-30 HP. size weight etc. and versa. And then I don't have the problem of different sized Quick Hitches. But then again you have to make the best of what you have to work with.

Buying an new implement I can probably get past the wife. Buying a new tractor to pull the new implement is going to be a lot harder:laughing:
