Oil & Fuel YM2500 Pushing Coolant Out the Radiator

[ponytug]

Sorry to hear the saga that you are going through! However, as you say, Frderick's seems to be really trying to make it right.

All the best, Peter

The Ym2500 from a Fredrick's supplied dealer. It was pretty much trouble free, The owners was retired Catholic priests. Even after I had to quit using it and the only problem that I was informed of was a small Hyd. leak at the pump. I believe the 3point lock was closed and not knowing tried to lift the 3 point. Tightened it up and it quit leaking. You don't hear very many if any complaints on the tractors. If I had to start looking for another YM series Yanmar no doubt I would be talking to them.

I was using the TractorByNet app on my phone. I deleted it and was going to download it again, but can’t find it in the App Store. Apparently there is no TractorByNet app anymore.

I believe the boss deleted it simply because the 'Tap-A-Talk app is garbage and posting via a cell phone sucks on any forum anyway. Get yourself a laptop or desktop and post there using a bona-fide web address.

I strongly suspect that most of the misspelled words in posts on here and elsewhere are attributable to cell phone texting...

Here's an old thread describing the air filter that is unique to YM2500 and very few other tractors.

YM 2500 Air Filter

Someone had once posted a NAPA air filter that would work on a 2500. Does anyone know what that might be?

The YM 2500 uses the same motor as the Deere 850. Both 1.3L. 3Cyl.. The Yanmar 2500 is basically the same tractor except for the 4 Spd PTO. the 850 Only 1 gear @ 540

Super easy to get parts for a JD. I would imagine?

This just came up on the Filter thread! YM2500 Air Filter from the same poster

The JD. 850 is the same motor as the YM2500. Refurbished YM2500 from Fredrick's Yrs. ago. I knew this at the beginning of this Thread. Yanmar USA. is in Ga. only a few miles from me. Daily Posts

Yes, they are for sure trying to make it right.

If I bought another YM Series Yanmar, I would not have a problem going back to Fredricks. They stand behind what they sell.
I would, however, look it over very good.

I’ve talked to Tom Fredricks 1 time at the beginning of all this, and haven’t had to call him again.
Danny Speakman, Stephen Fredricks, and Rob Fredricks has handled everything. Mainly Danny. He’s gotten with Stephen multiple times. To my knowledge, I’ve never talked to Stephen.

I too would go back for another machine. I do like the YM3810, the bigger sibling of the YM2310. Or the YM2820 with all the loaded goodies and it's very closely related to the domestic machines with the 3T84 engine.

Down the rural road I'm on there is a EX3200 possibly going up for sale this summer. I would still keep the YM2610 and pass it down to kids.
