YFL-155 Loader Specs

[gt14]

Does anyone have the specs on a YFL-155 Loader.
Capacity, type and weight of Hydraulic Fluid, Lifting capacity ect.

GT don't have the info you are requesting but want to say you need to pay attention to bucket load. I recently wighed my tractor, did the math and looked at rated tire capacity and found out my front tires are overloaded with nothing in the bucket.

I also have (what I think is) the YFL-155 on my 155D with front pto mount pump. I am interested in what oil it takes. I have recently used the same hyd/tran fluid (JD303 equivalent) that is used in the transmission/3pt lift. Is this right? The pump seems a bit noisier than what I remember when I bought it used. When activating the loader it quiets right down.

Does anyone know what hydraulic fluid the YFL-155 loader takes?

 

[HoyeTractor]

According to the manual it uses the tractor's hydraulic reservoir so it just takes the same oil as the tractor- a JD303 or equivalent oil.

Thanks Aaron,
Now I'm questioning whether I actually have the YFL-155 or a Johnson loader as mine has a seperate oil reservior in the right upright and a pump on the front pto but looks very similar to the diagram. I can't find any identifying markings anywhere except for "yanmar".

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread, but my ears perked up because I always learn something from the collective knowledge of you all and I was hoping there was a simple answer as to why the pump is a little noisier since I put hyd/tran JD303 equivalent in it a few months ago.

It's a great little loader! Just my size.

I have a YFL-155 and it's fluid reservoir is in the loaders right arm. I used 46 weight hydraulic fluid. It is completly seperate from the 3point reservoir.

You have the YFL-155 loader. My loader looks exactly the same. Green color same valve, ect.

Thanks for the info. I added 46 wt Hydraulic fluid into the loader res. It seems to work well I have had to clean the strainer twice since the loader was sludged up pretty bad. Looks pretty clean now. I have never heard of a loader with the res. Inside the arm of the loader but it seems to work well.

I see the problem now. The manual that I was looking at was the YFL-155TH. It has (uses tractor pump) under it. That must be the difference between the "TH" and the regular YFL-155. Sorry about that.

I'm going to try 46 wt hydraulic oil in mine next time I get a chance. It's very possible that's what the previous owner had in it. GT14, where is the strainer located?

Also, have you every tried removing the pump? I tried once, but was surprised to find the pump hits the inside of the bumper before the splined shaft disengages. This makes it all the more challenging to remove the loader if I want to use if for a season of mowing only.

The strainer is located at the bottom of the loader arm that contains the fluid. Take off the low pressure line that feed the pump and unscrew the big fitting attached to the fitting is the strainer clean put back in and refill with fluid.
