YM2002D closest US model?

[RJB]

Thanks for all the replies. I had hoped for a match but it must not have one. I bought this tractor for myself to replace a TL1900 Iseki. So far I am well pleased with its performance. It has plenty of power but it is a little short in weight and ground clearance. I was hoping for factory service manuals. A YM2202D might have been a better choice. If I could figure out the proper ratio and change from 8.3x24 to 9.5x24 it might give me the ground clearance and I can add the weight. Any ideas would be helpfull. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Mine has 9.5x24 rear and 6x14 front. It works out perfectly.

I picked this tractor up at Fredricks and it has 8.3x24 and 6x14. I assumed that was the proper size. 9.5s would be much better. Maybe someone Knows what the proper size is.
Thanks Rick

I buy & sell Yanmars & I had two or three of these tractors, & they come both way with 8.3 & 9.5. Both sizes work just fine. If interested in a set of 9.5x24 I have a set of tires & Rims in very good condition Will seperate if you want.

9.5x24s are available at most farm tire stores. Double check that they are for sure 24". Most Yanmars have 8.3x22.

Marv,
You don';t have a set of 9.5-22's laying around do you? bw

 

[RJB]

I don't understand how 9.5s and 8.3s could both be correct because the 9.5s have a greater rolling circumference.thus changing the ratio. The larger tire would be a welcome change if it would work without damaging my gears. has any one experienced this?
Thanks Rick

Does the rim width necessarily affect the rolling circumference on a standard ag tire?

 

[kayssupply]

They both are only correct if they have the correct size front tires. These tractors come with the rims off. Sometimes after painting the same rim doesn't always make it back on the right tractor. I run a tractor in 4 wheel drive down a long gravel drive. If it will shift in and out of 4x4, without binding, after that it is close enough.

I guess I will have to decide if I want to gamble and purchase a set of 9.5x24 tires and try them. I have other tractors with 9.5s on them but not a Yanmar. That would have been nice because I could have just switched them and tried them. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
