Gauges on YM14

[Neat 1500]

i finally removed the gauges from the 1500 and put them on the YM14 and gave it a good run today. runs at 82 odd degrees C (thermostat open temp) and oil cold is a tick over 60 PSI @ idle, 20 PSI when hot. happy with these readings. i have filled the tank up with my 300:1 2 stroke mix and truly believe it runs smoother and quieter now( the f/pump is definately quieter) so we shall see how it progresses. i wanted to take it up to our block and give it a good blast up there but it wont fit in the trailer( too wide) does that mean i now have a legitemate excuse to buy a bigger trailer? when i get the camera fixed i will post some photos

When are we going to see a loader on it?

nah not worth it. thats what i have the 1500 for. would be handi though for the small jobs

I'm building a loader in the spring for one of my YM146's.

If the Craftsman tractors can have a loader as small as they are, the YM146 should handle it no problem.

Are you building your loader from plans or your own design? I have a set of plans for SCUT's that I don't need anymore.

 

[YannyMan]

Not sure what SCUT is, I was going to use a set from P-F Engineering. They CAD it all out to your tractor dimensions.

SCUT (Sub Compact Utility Tractor). The plans I have came from PF Engineering. I used them for reference when building my loader.

if it had some form of hydraulics on it already(ie 3 PH) i might have thought about it.

 

[YannyMan]

If it has the hydraulic lift for the mower deck still, that's all the hydraulics they ever came with. The same piston that lifts the deck, lifts the 3 point.


The factory pump on the YM146/GT14/YM14 tractors only puts out 1.9 gpm and 850 psi. It also has a very small tank. None of that will run a decent FEL setup.

I'm using parts from my spare tractor and my good one to make a shaft drive where the front PTO used to be. That will drive a seperate hydraulic pump that will run the FEL.

On the PF plans, the upright posts are the tanks for the FEL and it is based on using a pump driven off the front of the crankshaft, mounted in front of the tractor. Some people have installed them on a belt drive to the side of the engine.
