MY 1500D does not have anything covering the rotating front driveshaft. Is this model supposed to have a tube around that shaft or is it supposed to be exposed? Also, relating to my 1500D. Can anyone tell me what motor oil to use in this model? This is my first diesel and books have not arrived yet.
front driveshaft protection?

Hi Marty,
Congrats on your first yanmar. Yes your drive shaft is supposed to have a box like tube to protect the rotating shaft from winding weeds,arms,ect around it.
Also I use chevron delo 400 oil in my yanmar,
and a phram filter# ph3593A.
There are lots of folks on this forum that have 1500s
Im sure they can answer all your questions anytime,
except when they are out on their machines or drinking beer !!

My 186d didn't have the shield, either. You can bet it does, now! I destroyed the front differential seal with weeds wrapping around the propeller shaft... I tried to rig something, but quickly went for the Yanmar Part, glad I did...

The 1401D's do indeed come with a cover as you suspected. I think that West Kentucky Tractor is parting one out, not sure though. Try them at 270-462-2191.
Help! Anyone out there have a 1401d(or similar) with a driveshaft cover? I've corresponded with a dealer on the site who can supply me with the front support housing, the rubber boot, and the two shaft cover pieces. I found a photo in my service manual with a picture of the boot and the covers but not the front support housing. I'm wondering if I already have the housing because it appears there is little or no room to mount a housing between what appears to be the diff. housing and the joint first joint of the driveshaft!
Hmmm.../w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
thanks for any help!

I have two of them (1401d's) here right now. Post a picture of the area in question, if you can. I will try to take a pic before the sun goes down tomorrow, if I get home in time.

Tony,your 1401D doesn't need support housing.Boot will attach directly to diff. housing.Support housing ,or extension,was used on 1300D because of slightly longer wheelbase.
Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I don't have access to a digital camera, so I can't send a picture.
Len Shaeffer, however, did send a diagram of the exploded view of the driveshaft.(Thanks, leonard!)
I'm attaching that here, but I don't see the rubber boot. any ideas?
thanks!!!

In the diagram, #28 is the support housing....I "think" I already have this--maybe? Is #27 the rubber boot?
I don't see any holes in the differential to mount the bolts indicated on part #28. am I confused or what? /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Tony,
Here is the 1401d front coupling, left and right side, by the oil pan. The diagram Len sent you is accurate. In these pics you can see part #'s 31 (bolts), 28 (housing), 29 & 30 (clamps), 27 (boot).

other side pic...
Thanks for the pictures, Jim! Like they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words." I just need to go take a look at my tractor to see if I need the whole set-up...I'm thinking the tractor had this cover at one time because the picture of the support housing looks familiar.
thanks again!!
thanks again!!

My 1720D is missing the driveshaft cover too. I didn't notice it until I read this discussion. Since I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, I won't rest well until my little red tractor is whole (I also don't want to ruin my seals). I got some great feedback, and ultimately parts, when I told the sad tale of my missing drawbar. If anyone has a lead on a driveshaft cover for a 1720D I would appreciate hearing from you.
Check with one of the dealers on this one , If I'm not mistaken the driveline of a 226d is identical to your 1720d, in what case you should be able to order it from Yanmar. I don't know if you have a partsbook for your 1720, but I'm showing pn 194362-14610-x for the front tube and a 194362-14640 for the rear tube. There are also a couple of O-rings on each end pn 24321-000600 and a boot to connect the 2 tubes 194362-14650.
thanks Pete
