Might be getting back into a Yanmar

It’s definitely been a minute, I still have some yanmar sketches hidden in a drawer somewhere. Wish you were still on the east side, seems like the yanmar parts are becoming scarce around here since Raffi just retired. Heck it’d be nice just to catch up sometime!

Oh that would be sooooooo special to scan and share your Yanmar artwork. There is very little of anything on the web. I've shared a bunch in the ...

Yanmar - Model Cover Pages

and also the info on Yan-bo and Mar-bo

Yang Bow Mar Bow (Yanbo and Mabo) - The Mighty Midgets

There are also some sketches people done for the Yanmar Tree Frog models too.

Do you own a Tree Frog?

And maybe one or two sketches in the YanDeere thread.

It's now open YanDeere season

As you can see, I really like the artwork and history of these machines. :)

I don't think there all on here but I remember seeing some of them years ago, that he or others posted.

Thanks. Went hunting for them as the forum upgrade now has a real working search feature. :)

This is great stuff. I've been here since 2014 and not once saw these while poking thru the older postings.

Spent some time yesterday trying to figure out the electrical issues. Apparently I have power getting to the headlights, one suddenly started working but the other still won’t, neither is burned out. I have continuity on every wire in the circuit.

I also go rid of the broken pull style light switch and wired in this John Deere gator light switch. Ended up splicing the low and high beam together since it’s just an on/off switch.

Even wired up a rear work light

I’m debating ordering LED bulbs and light sockets for the headlights. Haven’t found anything exactly the same as what I currently have, any suggestions?

Most of the bulbs out there are just 25W/25W these days. So, low/high beam are the same. If you scout high and low (punny) you can find the 25W/35W bulbs for motor scooters and Honda ATVs from that era. The LEDs will be so much brighter overall that a single switch works just the same. Nice to see your upgrade.

There have been a few custom dash panels others have done over the years and shared here.

If you now have high and low beams wired to be on at the same time, this may smoke the wires. I would get LED's in there, before actually using the headlights.

(This is based on the 'common wisdom' I've seen for Subarus that relays are needed for any higher wattage bulbs; the existing wiring is just barely sufficient).

You may also find that LED low beams alone, are plenty of light.

Actually high and low beam isn't high and low wattage....
It's all about focus and filiment location....

Sooo 25w 25w can still be very much high/ low

You need to figure out the amps needed for the led's
and running the high & low can cause problems.
Don't remember the amps led's draw but don't get
something that will draw more than what your system
can handle as it could cause some electrical problems.
If head lights don't work first thing to check is the ground
wire then check out rest of connections.

Happened to be working 15 min away from the 226D and ended up picking it up.

It needs quite a bit of work, the clutch is pretty much non-existent, previous owner ran it out of fuel today and must’ve put bad fuel in it and not bled it right because it really struggles to start and stay running, like it’s just not getting fuel. It’s also stuck in 4wd, the lever just flops around and of course, none of the lights or anything works and they wired in a push button start when the ignition switch failed. Needless to say it needs a little work but hoping to get this 226D up to par to see if I prefer it over the 186D for mowing.
