Help in finding info - Yanmar Steering Center Cap

[bmaverick]

I'm on the hunt for this OE center cap.
This will be the next 3D Printer project to under take.
This Center cap also fits John Deere models with the deer logo.

There are many generics out there, yet they do not cover properly to prevent water intrusion.
SpareX has the best one of S.70541

If you have such a part, willing to provide detailed dimensions, you can reply to this message.

I'm thrilled!

Someone had already made one of the 3 different steering center caps.
A YTOG community member did this a little while ago.

We have now added to the 3D Printing parts for the,
Yanmar Steering Center Cap 194440-15870

This fits the YM186 and YM186D along with a few others.

Another member gave us detailed dimensions for another cap.
194327-15770

And there are 2 more I'm aware of, 194130-15770 and 194150-15770.

I must say, the people on the YTOG often come thru when you need it the most.

Spent the afternoon verifying measurements.

Realized the UTDA Fredricks steering wheels are not the Yanmar OE. These are the Sparex aftermarket wheels to fit on the Yanmar made John Deere tractors. The center cap to cover the hole is slightly different.

The Yanmar Y-emblem is used here as the font is not a trademark. The Yanmar name is a trademark.

This cap works for this Sparex steering wheel for all aftermarket wheels.

The center logo can be changed to IH or CC or whatever you would like in FreeCAD and then print.

On the YTOG, our discussions of 3D printed parts has shown tractor parts suppliers offering them as well.

The steering wheel cap turned out more amazing than I thought it would.

I had spent the last 2-days plowing compost in the fields. So the Yanmar is a bit dusty. Had to do this before the Spring rains hit today. So excuse the look of a working tractor please.

The Y-letter is cloned from the other 3D printed file from Desoto on the site here, just resized.

I didn't know until today. The F/FX Series has the 'Y' logo for the center of the steering wheel. This is a F165.
