I had to clean the carb on the one I just picked up, it's a much easier operation than I thought it would be. I did have to buy a new gasket though, but Deere seems to carry just about all the replaceable parts. The Yanmar is a cool sounding engine for sure.
Man it’s kinda weird seeing a oil filter on a mower… I’ve got 3 running tractors 2 dsl 1 gas & they don’t have spin in filters. The 2 dsls are Yanmar L70s, they have a oil screen I have cleaned before swapping, but u don’t rly need to check it much. I use the dsls enough to change the oil once a year since the oil goes black instantly.
Just got another Kubota diesel with a 3 point and rear pto. I hope my drain plug wasn’t tightened to 10,000 foot pounds, this oil change is going to suck.
@@MichaelTJD60 The Liquid cooled ones actually run just as cool or cooler without them. They need as much airflow out of the radiator and engine compartment as they can get.
