YM195. The US version of YM1700. At least the engine. It may be cobbled together out of similar parts.

I'm looking at the 195/240 Parts Manual and that's the YM195 (or YM1700) engine. But I thought that hood decal was used only on the last year of the green US tractors (1982?) which should have had an external air pre-cleaner.

Suggest making no assumptions about decal/hood, etc., as it is all too easy to mix and match. Hydraulic pressure line looks to be rubber, which is not OEM either. May be an ensemble, but the engine would say 195 or 1700. Look at the chassis serial number....it usually starts with the model number on those units.

Man that thing is a mess.

Looks like it started out as a US YM195. The green paint, zig-zag throttle linkage and two part wheels (disc/rim) are definitely US spec. Wrong oil filter, way too long. I think I see replacement bolts between engine/bell housing. As Wayne noted, the hydraulic plumbing looks all wrong, maybe homemade. As he said, the chassis number (by operator's left ankle) is the acid test of what model it is.

It may have been repowered with a gray YM1700 engine. Same engine, but the parts book says the US engine serial numbers should start from G00001. The oil dipstick is on the left which was later production. I don't know if YM1700 ever had that.

I see the engine model tag by the starter. Does it say 17 hp (pto hp, YM1700) or 20 hp (YM195, the same engine, US crankshaft hp)? And as I guess you already noted, the engine serial number is stamped above the dipstick.

My 240 has an engine number that is beyond the range stated in the US parts book for its series, so the book isn't the last word, however.

If the front wheels are gone expect considerable expense for the correct ones. For that tractor I would just torch some holes in a pair of Vega rims. Use big washers on the lug bolts! :)

While i saw considerable similarities in my 1700.. it looks different in places. i'm betting it may be a 195.. but perhaps all cobbled up. maybee a vietnam recon gone bad?

If it has a 2T84 engine, that is what is in a YM195, built for the US market.

No, it's identical to mine except for its condition and the botched stuff - the plumbing, the front bumper taken off, and I think Yanmar never put a flat muffler on that model.

There was a early YM1700/YM195 that had headlights alongside the grill, but this is a later 195. Same as my 240 except rated 4hp less, I think due only to smaller sleeves plus maybe the pump setting.
