Overheating

[BurningBushFarm]

Are you sure it's the temp light?

Yeah. Sticker thingey right under it says:

TEMP



Will check the connections again on sending unit. I would say it comes on when it's below 190 for sure.

Will try the hose flush. Also the water wetter.

As for the bottle --- I kinda thought the coke bottle I saw on one of the other threads that other guy had on his was cute. :laughing:
But I have the usual one -- and there doesn't seem to be any overflow going on that I have noticed.

Would I notice when I lift the hood? (Hubby's off at CAP so I can't ask him.)

Norm you have the fancy modern version.

These earlier ones don't have gauges for fuel, for battery water, for the overflow tank (or even an overflow tank, on some of them), or a fuel shutoff solenoid, or a fuel lift pump, or a thermostat. Or a hydraulic filter (just a reusable wire mesh sieve). Or a no-start switch on the pto, or under the seat. I don't know if the clutch safety switch was on all of them. The YM2000's had water pumps but the next size smaller didn't.

I think this simplicity is why these are still pretty inexpensive to keep in running condition now.

My YM1900 has a water pump. I thought that was the next size smaller than a 2000. Is there one in between? Then again, when I see information listings for Yanmars, the 1900 is usually missing from the list.:laughing:

Oops. Likely that model was the prototype for the whole YM2000 etc series!

I overgeneralized.

BBF,

I found your sender whilst looking for hood decals for a Yanmar the factory part # is 121250-44901 and the replacement sender is TS-44901. hth

Who'd a thought the Japanese word for TEMP was TEMP? If you fill the rad completely, and fill the overflow bottle to the cold mark, when it reaches op temp the bottle should be 1-2" fuller, then recede back to cold mark after cool down. It takes a little ingenuity, but you can test those senders in boiling water, at least to assure it does not turn on at or below 212*.

I dont think it is? That is strange though, just like the oil one says oil under it, i dont think thats oil either as well as charge or alt, whatever is written under that light. :laughing: These tractors seem a little old to use english as a universal language as i dont think it was as big in the 70s and 80s.

The strange thing is the original stickers have jap caracters on them but the lights are english? This is original cause everyone has them not just the VN owners. I guess it has something to do with the fact that they are sold all over?

BTW, Hoye's YM2000 temp sender says "for warning light".

Well darn. Something is screwed up at flickr and they've made it so I can no longer post my pictures from there. Took s picture just for you guys. Humph.

My guess is the English labels were added by Corriher (Newton, NC) when they sold them. The casting for the shift has English numbers.

All the ones i have seen have the english words on them? Why dont you just post your pics directly here? Its really easy click the manage attachements button under the reply box and then select the location on your computer or external device. Then hit submit or something like that then close the box that popped up and then hit submit reply, they will be thumbnailed in the post.

Okey dokey. (Well that's cool. I wondered how you did that.)

This is to illustrate my English TEMP label on my Japanese tractor.

And my Japanese labels.

Just for fun.

(They stuck the appropriate English labels here and there.)
