Comparison What's with the Yanmar 2000 B or G D?

[California]

... HP (not PTO) is calculated at only 22 for the YM2000D and YM 2000BD. ? (1.2 x 20 = 24 .... not exact, I know)

The one I am looking at is red with a green engine block ... therefore later 70s I assume.

That formula is useful for a general approximation when better data isn't available.

But there is one instance , YM2000/YM240 where the exact same engine (2TR20A-X) has a 20hp nameplate on it for Japan, and a 24hp nameplate on it for the US. The estimates for all the other Yanmar models are based on this single instance of hard data.

If the headlights are in the grille ... it at least has a second-series hood on it.

First-series (green) YM2000's are pretty rare in the US.

Incidentally while second-series YM2000 was red and sales ended in 1979 (???), its US version continued to be sold through 1981-82 and was still painted green clear to the end. (see my avatar at left).

Thanks.

The funny (?) thing is on the spec charts I've seen ... mmm... 3 different places, they don't list the YM 2000D plain vanilla model. Which is actually pretty popular from what I can tell.

Aso, the HP (not PTO) is calculated at only 22 for the YM2000D and YM 2000BD. ? (1.2 x 20 = 24 .... not exact, I know)

The one I am looking at is red with a green engine block ... therefore later 70s I assume.

Wind chill here at 5 - 7 degrees right now. Hope all you in the upper midwest are warm. Brrrrrr.

You will see the Ym 2000 2000d 2010 2020 whatever there all the same hp, listed anywhere form aparetly 22 all the way to 26. They are actually 24 hp, there is a plate on the engine that has the model # and also says 24 hp at 2400 RPM.

YM2000B added some refinement to the second series - a nicer dashboard with more instruments, and additional sound reducing panels enclosing the sides of the engine.

Up until 1978 = YM2000D
1979 = YM2000BD
