I am so thankful that you left these Videos online even after you sold your business. I applied this procedure on my YM 1720D today and the tractor is running again !
Did all of that. Now can't get any fuel. Thinking internal shutoff stuck closed. It was a little difficult to close then open . Now it turns a little easier. Think it broke in closed position.
Extremely helpful! I ordered some radiator hoses from you guys yesterday! Thought I'd watch other how to videos before I tackled the fuel filter. I'm good now!
Excellent video. The explanation of all the parts, the process, and quick tips= were very helpful, and informative. I'll be doing this exact job this Sunday= and am quite confident now, because of the Excellent tech doing this job. Very, very good video. Bravo
On most water separators (i.e. Yanmar) there is a lock screw on top of the shut off valve. Loosening the screw allows the vale to work as it should. My sc2450 is 12 years old and I've never had a 'sticky' problem with the valve. Thus the lock screw is in place to compensate for vibration of the tractor and prevent the valve opening..."Ya think"!?!
Good evening, I have the same fuel filter setup on the 2TNE68-DM4 Yanmar engine of my Minicar. Although this tutorial is very helpful for a "first time" filter changing approach, having change myself this filter several times in the past, I have to point out 2 details that in this video have been overlooked: #1- in order to stop the fuel from coming out of the assy, you only have to turn the valve lever of 90°. if you turn it up to the next 180° your valve will remain open to the opposite position! #2- inside my filter cup there is also a spring that seats on the bottom and pushes agaist the filter cartridge by preventing it to detach from its insert. Last but none the least, there is no need in changing the whole cup and accessories at any filter replacement: it is enough to clean the sludge deposit with a cloth and rinse the cup with new clean diesel before reassembling it back.
y'all need to make more of these instructional videos because there are tens of thousands who watch videos of complete hacks showing people the wrong way to work on Yanmar tractors. thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great video! I am replacing my 1988 JD 950 steering box with an orbital control box made for power steering. The box you are working on, can you tell me if the mounting plate on the bottom of this box is rectangular or trapezoid? My box is narrower at the back towards the seat and longer towards the engine side by about an inch. The person who is making my power steering components wanted to know and I wasn’t quite ready to disassemble my steering yet in order to make him a template. I just saw your video was 12 years ago. Hope you have an exceptional memory! 😀
This is a great video, thanks. I have a Ford 1210 and recently snapped the steering shaft. It’s happened a couple of times since. This will hopefully make my rebuild more accurate as I had done one or two things wrong. Has anyone else had this issue? I have a front loader on it and am careful to balance the weight but it’s frustrating when it happens.
Yep same problem check the outer shaft steering column tube is not bend. If it is, then this puts extra load onto the whole assy and also munts the bearings. Rebuilt my a couple of times before I realised the outer shaft column was bend from too many fatties hopping on and off using the steering wheel to pull themselves up.
My gear box looked just like that, a mess. Water had seeped into the box and rusted out both bearings and the "U" shaped bearing tubes on the nut. I have a 1984 IH254 but the gear box is the same. I ordered some shims from Hoye Tractor, and the bearings and tubes from another vendor (before I saw found video). I believe the shims were made for a Yanmar 2000. I was not able to get the lower bearing race out so I just buffed it with my Dremel tool, and crossed my fingers. Now I'm back in business. I would have been working in the dark without these videos.
That steering box looks the same as used in the John Deere 950 and 850 tractors which were made in Japan with a Yanmar engine. Do you know if the Yanmar steering box interchanges into the mentioned John Deere tractors?
Yanmar actually built the entire '50 series John Deere tractor (650,750,850,950,1050...) - not just the engine. The exact box does not interchange but they are very similar and we do have the parts to rebuild those also.
