Simplified fluid question.

[1danny]

Jim, thanks for the reply on the fluid capacities and the correction about tranny/rear using 80/90 wt gear oil. I want to put the proper fluids back in it. I am guessing it has never been drained and changed but was filled to full level after it was reassembled from the crate. Always good to hear from a YM2200 owner.

Ken, my 2200 has a seperate system for the hydraulics. The tranny/rear shares oil, only one fill/dipstick but the hydraulic also has a dipstick and sits on top of rear end.

Danny1, always glad to see your input. My parts arrived in good condition and appear to be the exact same as other steering shaft.

I like the seperate hydraulic system and external pump on the Yanmar. Unlike my Ferguson where the pump is submerged in the bottom of the housing between tranny and rear and shares fluid with drivetrain. It really complicates things where the YM is external and easily gotten to.

Jim, Danny, I just went out to check before answering Ken about how many plugs/fill places. I do not see ANY drain plugs on either the tranny/rear or hydraulic reservoir. Would I be right in thinking I have to pull the bottom inspection plate (held on by 4 bolts) on transmission to drain that system and possibly draining the hydraulics by unhooking the suction line from the hydraulic pump? That is my guess as to how to do it. Also, where is my screen on the hydraulics and how to remove to clean it?

Other than a water pump rebuild and steering rebuild I have never had any problems with my 2200. Great little tractor. Time to do some preventative maintenance to keep it from developing problems later.

Thanks for all the help guys. I am sure other questions will arise.

This picture shows where the drain plug is for the YM2200 transmission (my finger) it also shows where the hydraulic screen is for the YM2200 without seperate hydraulic tank ( behind the hydraulic line)

This picture show where the drain plug is for the seperate hydraulic tank ( my finger) it also shows where the hydraulic screen is ( square plate with 4 bolts) I have imported 25-30 YM2200's and have never seen 80/90 in any of them or any other Yanmar tractor.

Artist , No, do not pull the trans. plate,You won't get much oil out there.The trans./rear end drain plug is on the lower left side of the rear end housing.The drain plug for your hyd. system is on the top right side of the rear end housing,not the reservoir,it drains out of the the rear end housing.I know this sounds silly,but that's the way it works,the hyd. filter is inside the hyd. reservoir,at the large line.Can't remember,but less than 2 gals. for the hyd. system.By the way,the hyd. reservoir is also the top cover for the trans./rearend.

Danny,The pictures you posted are not like my ym2200.In previous dealings with you,you stated that the 2200 had two hyd. systems,and you showed pictures of both that you koow of,is there a third pig in the pen? Both of my hyd. lines go straight into the res.and all of my controll linkage go there too, so I assume that this unit is a reservoir and control combined.Though the hyd. mount on top of the trans. they do not share the same oil.Can you shed any light?
