New to me 226D

Nice job!

Wow, that's quite a bit of rust. Like @California I wonder if you think it got flooded?

All the best,

Peter

I’m thinking so, I checked the front diff today and am not getting any reading on the dipstick, I’m sure it’ll need resealed like my 186D did.

Made a little more progress today on the 226D despite the 110* heat. I pulled the injectors and injection pump to have them tested abs cleaned while the tractor is apart. It was running on 2 of the 3 cylinders and struggled to gain rpm as you gave it throttle. Upon disassembly I found the 3rd port dry and that the pump had no timing shims under it. I also found that most of the exhaust nuts/bolts were finger tight. Fortunately though this tractor is more of an extra machine so I can take my time and be sure to go over it thoroughly before I start to put it to work.

Almost forgot, gave the hood a quick polish tonight.

I'm impressed at all of your work in the heat.

On the dry pump, why do you think it was dry?

All the best,

Peter

Previous owner ran it out of fuel and attempted to bleed it. That 3rd port was loose so I think he messed up the injection pump.

Almost guaranteed seized plunger

Almost guaranteed seized plunger

That would be my concern as well.

This is certainly an interesting rebuild...

All the best,

FWIW... when I brought my 2210d home, my knowledge of the inner workings of diesel injection pumps was ALL learned in just a few minutes of googling before going to look at it...

Spent a couple hours googling more, and just dove in... pulled it, cleaned everything and put it on... ahh not quite... pulled it again, cleaned it more and put it on....

Couple hrs on the web, and a couple hours on the bench and she was running perfect....

Really wasn't near as bad as the injection shops want you to think.

Got another chance this evening to work on the 226D. Brought the back half of it outside for a rinse then tipped it back to further investigate why the 4wd lever just flops around. It more or less appears to have fallen apart probably from someone forcing it into 4wd. Im hoping to track down a complete 4wd unit instead of fixing this one, any insight as to what other Yanmar models may have this same shifter assembly?

Over at the Yanmar Tractors Owners Group, we have several of the YM 3-digit and YM 4-digit Parts Manuals. All you need to do is download and find matching numbers.

Recently, we learned that several of the 4WD parts from John Deere 50 Series were matches too. For example a YM226D matched up to a JD750 for the left side steering arm.
