Some engine swap pics YM2210/YM2000

[hasselhoss]

New guy here from Georgia. Just thought I would share some pictures of my recent engine swap.
Front end: YM2000
Rear end: YM2210

The 2210 was newly refurbished but, through a series of unfortunate events, had serious engine issues (long.... stupid stupid story). She was non-operational when I acquired her.
The 2000 was in good shape with 425 hours on the clock and had been used for the last 7 years to clear 2 food plots once a year. Unfortunately she stayed outside under a tarp the entire time and suffered cosmetically from it.

This is the dead YM2210 the day I picked her up.



The YM2000 on pickup day:



I started by pulling the front half of the 2210. I bolted a long steel post to the front of the frame and could easily maneuver the front end around alone with it.








The 2210 Bell Housing



Then I did the same with the 2000





The 2000 front end on the 2210. Everything bolted up nicely:





All buttoned up and ready to work:





The 2210 front end needs love now. Unfortunately, the crank will need to come out.





I am trying to decide if I want to spend the money to rebuild the engine or not or just use this tractor for spares. So many of the parts interchange it's nice to have them like that.

Anyway, just wanted to share.

Hola neighbor. We travel to Walton for middle and high school games all of the time. Yep, that's mine on CL. I am seeing if there is any interest in parts before I dig in on the motor.

I know Hwy 11 quite well

Very interesting. Appears much easier then R&R'ing engines.

Ha, yeah. I actually thought I joined here a while back but I couldn't remember my login so I just started fresh. Let me know if you ever get a good line on some implements up your way. All I have right now is a beat up old rotary cutter. I need a box scrape and a rear dirt scoop.

I am through the area from time to time, and i have a dirt scoop i have been toying with getting rid of. I have to really think it over. I bought it and played but not really ever used it. I repainted it and then put it in the shed and tarped it uner the shed??? Just getting dusty now.

You even have the little mirror on the engine on that 2000 i see. I bet there a few more than 425 hours on it though

Great pictures and write up!.

Did you only have the front strap on the 2000 nothing on the rear to keep it from flying foward or bouncing around?

Bet that tractor was sold in griffen or lawrenceville originally, looking at it probably griffen as it looks original.

The 2000 is strapped in the front and a chain on the back right axle.

I cleared an acre and a half of saplings and tall scrub today with the franken2210. She did very well. A few of the saplings were a bit much and she let me know. I'm loving the crawler gear for dragging out large logs and pulling roots.

Yes, that creeper/crawler gear really comes in handy.

Nice work. I had followed along in the other forum thread. Glad you had posted here too.

This may be an older thread, but it's well noteworthy to review.

Wonder what other YM models can do this?

Recently a posting of a YM240 needing an engine can be done with the various YM2000 models.

Such an easy method to change and engine.
