Gauges on YM14

[YannyMan]

Can't do the belt drive on the small tractors, unless you want to use the front PTO and drive the pump off of that. They're so fragile, there's no point.

Also can't attach the pump directly to the front balancer (no room). Only way to do it is to use the front PTO shaft (the front PTO itself is electric with clutches) and drive a pump where the PTO was located.

Problem is, if you don't have the front PTO shaft, they run almost $400 new! I bought an entire parts tractor, with a 3 point, rear pto, and BM48 mower (the best they came with) for just a few bucks more than that.

mine has the manual lever to lift the deck, no fandangle hydraulics unfortunately ( do they have hydraulic lifts??:drool i have the deck clutch driven off the front of the crank anyway so no go there.

All of the GT14 and YM146's did. I don't have a manual for a YM14, but I can't imagine those two identical models and all their smaller siblings would have it and not the YM14 unless there was some sort of restriction on tractors with hydraulics in the UK where the YM14's were originally sold.

no hydraulics on it and never has.strange one that, the GT14 does and YM doesnt? i will look in my service manual and see if it shows it as an option maybe?

All the YM122, 126, 142, 146 and the GT14's came with hydraulic pumps mounted to the engine and a tank right behind the plastic dash in the engine compartment. The hydraulic piston was underneath the seat. It raised and lowered the mower deck and it also raised and lowered the 3 point hitch, if so equipped.

The only other YM14 I've seen pictures of didn't have hydraulics either. Must have been a European thing.

In this really bad picture, you can see where the lift piston is in relation to the rear PTO drive gear.

mine has a spring loaded "assist" to help lift the deck where the hydraulic cylinder is on your machine. i will post some pics of the huge lever it has to lift the deck. could you post some pics of the pump and soforth as i am interested to see how it all is mounted and located.

Here is a shot I found of the tank, filter assembly and lines on the internet. Its on a YM122 1 cylinder, but the tank and assembly is the same. I don't currently have any pics of that part of any of my tractors.
