I just purchased the same tractor from my friend for $500.The fuel pump went bad 8 years ago. It sat in his yard under a tree that entire time. I and completely rebuilt the engine, fuel system, replaced the rear tires and brakes. After $2800 in new parts and lord knows how many hours I have a wonderful 2210d. I also have a 2610d Yanmar. I just feel in love with the older tractors and the powershift is a big part of that.
I have both styles. The regular one is easier getting on and off because you have to lift your leg a mile to get off the power shift version. You should always turn off the tractor just like this video shows so you don't catch your leg on shifter popping it in gear and run over yourself. I was told this by the older guy I bought it from. One of you mechanical guru's need to make a kit to move it to column shift. Nice video! Power shift is recommended especially with loader.
Just FYI, my 1977 Yanmar 2210D (4x4 loader) has the powershift transmission also. BUT it has 5 gears plus the 3 powershift gears, for a total of 15 forward speeds and 5 reverse speeds. Excellent bulletproof transmission and tractor.

After I bought my neighbors 187D I drove it home and had no idea how to turn it off! Pulling the stick back only made it baaaaaarely chug along. He said to run up the throttle to the top and quickly bring it back to the off position. I watched you shut this down and it was very smooth and simple without that kind of throttle run up and back. Any adjustment you think I should make? Suggestions more than welcome!
I had the JD comparable and the Yanmar version of the same tractor. I sold the JD just because of the powershifter. I used the funds from the sale of the JD and restored another Yanmar 2210d with the powershift. That transmission is so useful with a front loader I would not have anything else.
Just picked up a 3110D today! Basically the same as yours but I’m confused, does it not have a brake? My understanding is the pedal on the right is an emergency brake and you stop by going in neutral? Great video!
Assuming you are not moving, do you need to push the clutch to go in reverse using the power shifter? or is the clutchless shifting only for moving between various forward gears?
when checking fluid levels in trans and front axle do you screw the cap all the way in or just place it there? i figure this would be the same as on mine but i cant find the info.
Might want to double check and find out for sure. On my YM2220D and several other models I have read about online the fluid level is checked resting on top and not threaded in. You’re probably running it low on hydraulic and gear oil if you’re threading it in. Hopefully not enough to damage anything unless you’re leaking oil somewhere such as a seal.
maybe his is different than mine idk, but with mine the clutch is only needed to change gears on the trans or to engage pto, anything powershift related does not need the clutch. the powershift uses hydraulic pressure to put pressure on clutch packs, i heard its like an automatic trans but without the torque converter. mine is the 1987 226d, so it may be different.
