Traction Drive train YANMAR FX24D

[Mickey_Fx]

did you ever do any research or find anything about the front drive only models ? Thats an interesting tidbit, would like to see what models came that way....

Since I made this statement I need to make sure the option is clear to everyone. These are regular 4wh drive models where the rear drive can be disengaged to improve/tighten the steering radius. They are NOT 2wh drive models with only front wheel drive. The front drive only is intended for maneuvering the tractor in tight spaced and not to do any heavy work. Seem to recall the tractor was an F series.

The one I drove looked like every other Yanmar of the same model but had an additional lever to disengage the rear drive. Yanmar offered a lot of options you rarely see here as well as implements. Ernie had a Yanmar tiller with a shuttle mechanism. By moving a lever the tiller could be shifted either left or right on the go. Sure made it nice for getting up close to things like fences and such. Also recall a model Ernie had that had side by side seating.

I think that models that came with this feature were 3 digit F series. The first tractor that Ernie found this feature was an F215 but he also found it on the F235. I don't think it came on any 2 digit F series or before.

Our fellow contributor and starter of this thread GWSMITH is having a knee replacement at 11:00am this morning. Any prayers for him at this time would be appreciated by GW and myself. I am starting to put his FX24D back together. I will take a few pictures along and hope we have a success story here.

Spoke with GWSMITH about 5pm. Surgery went well, he had just finished some broth and iced tea.

Make a little progress on the FX24D this afternoon. This picture is of the new ring gear installed.

Lastly, one showing the hydraulic unit installed. Notice the new over run clutch. We are going to try and prevent this from happening again. Probably be next week sometime before I get back. We are going to have a little R&R.
