Mowing YQM-48 Mower

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gifLooking to find a double sheave pulley for my YQM-48 belly mower. The mower fits my YM155D. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

I have not been successful trying to locate this part.

I did a search & found a person that said he had this part.It may have been you asking on the other site. If so . Did that person have the part ?

Where did you find the model number on your mower? I can't find one on mine. My local yanmar dealer (the place that sold them new) said he could get parts for me but he needed the model number.

I think I found the part # KTR-430. ( If it helps)You can have him check to verify

I have the original manual for the mower. In the back it gives all of the part numbers as well as a exploded views to confirm parts.

Let me know if you need a couple numbers.

Kenmac,

You are correct....the part number is KTR-430. You will also need a #9 woodruff key......it's part number is PT-230.

Kenmac,

I few months ago there was a lead to a person who said he had the part. I contacted him and he had a type "A". My mower has no "A" or "B" designation. I purchased the part from him to try. It did not fit.

This center pulley has a tapered shaft. Other models seem to have a straight shaft.

I was thinking about maybe trying a JD double sheave......but not sure where to start. The old JD 400 mowers had a double sheave pulley on the front.....but I am not sure if it was tapered.

On another thought. Do you know the what model a YM155D crosses over to on the JD line?

Have you tried getting the part from a certified Yanmar parts dealer?

Norm,

I did....even checked out the main headquarters in Japan. They told me the US dealer should have it. All of the records in Japan indicated the US should have it on stock......but according to the Yanmar US.....they do not have one.....and do not plan to carry them anymore.

Maybe OEM is best approach?
