Hello,
My son in law bought a Yanmar D195 tractor to cut his fields at the property they purchased recently. The tractor does not look like it was taken care of and has a number of fairly crude repairs to levers and generally throughout. The tractor electrical system is really non-existent apart from the battery, starter and a button. Never the less, it does start and drive. I have ordered new filters and will get those replaced when they arrive (probably this week)
The biggest problem is the hydraulic lift does not work. I don't actually know where to check the fluid...noting is apparent like a dip stick. There is a lever on the right side that pushes in a piston, which I assume if working would lift the hitch. Nothing happens when operating this lever but I don't know is something else needs to be done before the piston is depressed.
We will order and manual soon but until then thought I'd see if there was something I am doing wrong or if it's broken.
Pictures attached...
You can probably ascertain that I have no experience with tractors and lifts! I work on cars a good bit but am unfamiliar with tractors!
Thanks much for any replies.
