Yanmar ym146

[sacsr]

Well found a nice local ym146 today...I know I should probably not have bought it due to parts...but I really wanted one of these for mowing some land that tends to be pretty high when I mow it and did not like pulling the 187 etc down there to do it.......

..now got to buy the manuals etc...

Cranks easily....runs smooth....has the Cat 0 3pt hitch and the rear pto

Everything works and I believe it is the bm type belly mower (saw grease zerks underneath) which I was thinking were a better mower deck.....they have replaced 2 of the spindles/pulleys.....

Could use a few things if anyone has them for sale: cover that goes over the pulleys on the mower deck. pto shaft to fit the female pto?? (never had seen this before)


Also noticed the buzzer going off when it was running.....what does this indicate?? Temp?? Low oil?? It was buzzing when I turned the switch on......continued once it was cranked....???? Any help here would be appreciated.

I have a 187D cat 1.....is it possible to use some of my implements with this ?? changing the pins...??

Thanks,

Scott

Your probably aware the pto shaft is 2000rpm on that little dude. At least that is what I read. I think that 15 spline male yoke is going to be hard to come by. I would try Bolens, I think some of their old tractors may have had that set up.

Winston,

I had read that......so what can I put on it?? I think the previous owner had used a rear finish mower at some point....?? Think it was a woods mower of some type.

thanks

Probably an RM42 or RM48. No longer made. Might find a used one though. Are you wanting a mower or tiller for the rear. There probably are tillers available.

the buzzer is connected to the lamp cluster and it should stop when all systems are running and OK(oil pressure up, no temp light, fuel level OK etc) i have installed gauges in mine so have disconnected the oil and temp lights and disabled the buzzer. i find the park brake light flashing annoying, the lever moves from the vibration after a while and it comes on. and my deck doesnt have the covers over the pulleys anymore or the discharge flap either,trivial things they dont really need IMHO. the deck should turn off when your bum leaves the seat anyways. mine has the BM480 SBE deck on it.

Thanks for the response.

Winston right now just curious what I can attach to it.....the mower deck works so plan on using at this point....but if it goes out wanted to know what to look for to attach to it. Tiller same thing.....is there a tiller specific for this machine or will any tiller work??

Neat1500- so if the buzzer stays on - one of the things you mentioned is not working?? Any chance the buzzer is faulty?? A far as the cover on the deck...just would like to find one if I can....I agree it is not a necessity but would be nice to have.

Got to get the manuals this coming week......I have them for my 187 and a 135-155 but not this one....neither has the buzzer as a warning device so no info in my current books.

thanks for the help

Here is one with a 2000rpm option. BEFCO - Products - Rotary tillers - Till-rite T30 Pretty pricey though. Here's another just as pricy. http://www.wikco.com/t30.html

Thanks Winston.....anyone know the model number for the yanmar tiller that works with this tractor?? That way if I ever find one will know to buy it.

Will pick up the mower tomorrow and will post pictures.

does the lamp test button work OK? there is a module that controls these functions and it may be faulty.

I am picking it up tomorrow and will check....my memory is it was running fine...no smoke, cranked easily.....and no lights on the dash were on.....

Everything was working.....hydraulics, 3pt hitch, mower, etc....so hopefully it is just a false alarm......the buzzer sure was annoying :confused2:
