How close is a YM186 to a YM1700?

BTackett · Aug 15, 2008

I found a belly mower off of a YM186 that uses the large pulley instead of the 3pt driveline and curious if it will fit my YM1700? Does it still lift from the 3pt arms? It has chains on the front also, looks like. He is emailing me more pictures today.

Is that the one on E-Bay?
It looks like it uses the rear lift arms to lift the deck. It almost looks like a woods deck. I was curious about it too.

Yes, it is. I have been searching for a diagram of the installation to see how it installs.

I'm betting it runs off a Front PTO.

If it is a Woods, it runs from the rear PTO.

Well the chase is over. I found this mower saturday and traded my walk behind for it so I no longer need a belly mower or RFM.

thanks for the replies.
