New 2 me YANMAR 2210 BD 4X4- NOW-SERVICE QUESTIONS?

[RUMBLON]

Thanks, as I went along I could see that was the only place. It just seems odd that its so low. Again, sometimes its better to have no knowledge as it goes against performance hotrod stuff.

Thanks Winston. I will see if I can save it some where as I have no printer up here.

OK, next dumb question. I drained everything, and everything seemed ok, except the front diff, a little not much of goldish foam but not that much material at all so far. I read one of you said could take all day to drain so will leave it overnight to drain? No real water per say but the ity bit of foam would indicate at least a tad. am I correct?

So tomorrow I will filler er all up. Its 320 here and its time for a hose shower on my outdoor shower on the pond as I have no pressure tank here and thus no water heater both are here, waiting for a plumber to help as I dont want to screw up the pressure tank as I have not done one.

after a shower its Martini/ two olives two onions an AVO Cigar and some Sinatra and relax on the pond for the rest of the evening.

By the way. Being a restoration guy and restoring this myself, ( 70 CUDA VERT 440-6- NOW) I have this attention for detail in the resto process. I have YELLOW oil fills knobs and just reshot/ painted then in yellow. I dont know if orange is the correct color or not but I did yellow because it was that color. I also removed the drivers side (for the lack of a better term/ left) side panel that is white. Roughed it up and rattle canned it in white. It had some rust spots so I have this thing in my head that says, paint it paint it.

I could see myself buying these, restoring them and selling them, they are easy and fun and not too expensive. I mean like hotrod expensive, $700 for a dash cap plus core expensive.

my first resto as it looks today.

rumblom I would also add to your maintenance is a complete check of all nuts and bolts on the tractor. I would recommend to all yanmar owners to do this every 100 hrs depending on use. the metric lock washers aren't as strong as American. have fun with your tractor

Good advice above........you're going to like that Yanmar. Nice Cuda as well. As mentioned......don't forget the radiator and changing the fluids isn't hard to do. That screen is important and.....yes....you can run ATF if JD303 isn't available. Careful with that bucket......not too high and you might need to add some weight in the rear. Coldwater is close to where I live.......good folks to deal with. Enjoy and be safe!!!

Excellent point, essential for equipment of unknown history. I would add blue Locktite to anything I found loose.

Anyone here have a little 1401 YANMAR 2x4. There is one for sale locally that I am going to check out. Guy wants under 2K for it with a loader. Sounds like a great price. He says it has 890 hours on it and runs perfect.

Look it over to verify its all there. THEN JUMP ON IT! That's cheap enough to resell for more if you want to eventually. It's an excellent model. 2wd is a compromise to low cost but is very workable - its not a deal killer as some might say who don't know any better.

Anything with a loader (that runs ok) will be such an improvement to whatever you are doing, you'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner.



Added: Just for fun, here are some photos from the first couple of years I had my loader.

The first one is re-opening a lane covered by 10 years of blackberry bushes. No way would I attempt this with hand tools but the loader ripped them right out of the ground as I moved forward. The rest of the photos explain themselves.

As you can see, this is 2wd and works fine. Also, unrestored, and it doesn't seem to notice the difference.

Ok another dumb question. The chart I read says 18 Quarts of Hydraulic fluid. How do you tell when its full? There us no dipstick and I added probably to much as I used almost the full five gallons, (except for what spilled) and no visible fluid in the tank case filler hole? If I added too much will it hurt the unit? Should I remove some fluid or fire it up and see what happens?
