How do I get a Loader for my 336d?

[4get gto]

Anyone with a 336, I'd sure be trying to grab that loader from Aaron. OEM is a real nice loader...

rScotty..Never knew that the loaders used a "kick stand" to hold the loaders up when you disconnect until I looked at those brochures. Never had mine off. Often wondered about that pipe that's welded in the middle with the hole in it.....I'm missing the stand.
Learned something new today I did...

The kickstand is stored in the tubular crossmember between the arms. Look there.

rScotty's brochure, page 1, shows the kickstand's square foot secured to a pin on the side of the arm.

My first thought was " tell me that thing was there all along".

No such luck....have to make one some day....

Frankly I never took our loader off the tractor either. I had forgotten about that kick stand - had to go back and look at my own old photos to see if mine ever had one stored in the cross beam. Apparently not. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen one of the OEM loaders that still had the kickstand.
Maybe there's a pile of them somewhere....

What do you keep stored in the crossbar? I kept a hoe and a shovel there.

Mine's still there!

The second YM186D just after I bought it, with YFL 650 loader as listed in rScotty's brochure.

That's exactly what I use it for. Though I do remember bending a shovel head one time because of it sticking out that I had forgot about it...!

I'll add a picture of the baby of the Yanmar family.
The YFL 575.

... I'm not sure who made the loader for Yanmar, but don't believe it was Yanmar-made. One person who seemed familiar with loaders said that the Yanmar loaders were made by ALO in Canada. Someone here might have more into. But it would be hard to beat these original loaders - they were top quality all the way through.

One possibility is Yanmar contracted to ARPS (later Amerequip) to build the loaders. I'm pretty sure ARPS built the Yanmar backhoe around 1980, as well as the identical backhoe also sold as Kubota.

ARPS was also building for Deere at the time. The only place I found a replacement 'Yanmar' backhoe tooth was as a Deere part, and that tooth had no other known application.

Ended up selling the Yanmar 336d. Excellent tractor, but figured I'd be better off buying a tractor with a loader already there vs buying within my (low) budget and trying to fab something.

Yes, the YM336D is an excellent tractor. In fact, it just might be one of the best utility size tractors ever built, at least I haven't seen a better utility size tractor on the market even today.
In decent condition, you should have no problem selling it for enough to buy a smaller tractor with a loader.

And I can understand your reasoning for doing so because we did the same. During our first 20 years clearing land and building a house my wife and I needed a loader badly enough that we didn't really care what tractor it was attached to. For a long, long time we wrestled with a variety of oddball machines. That's where we would still be tractorwise if one day she hadn't turned to me and said, "This is crazy; lets go down and buy a decent tractor..." So we did.

It's all good, rScotty
