Takes me back to my Mechanic days working on Cat Dozers. Sure glad I retired but still live within 10 miles of where I spent 25 years working. I go up on a weekly basis and help the young fellers understand.
My YM2000B sat untouched in the building for 15 years. I installed a new battery 2 months ago, and it fired up as if it was parked yesterday. I installed a 7 foot Ford sickle bar, and now use it once a week on ditches, and around 3 ponds. Gotta love the old Yanmars.
When it comes to small tractors i like iseki, my tx1500 (g174) when i got it the engine oil had not been changed in 14 years, i have since changed it, it is a very reliable and powerful machine, i would definitly buy another one
When splitting tractors you should always wedge the front axle so front half doesn't flop to the side . Cut yourself a couple wood block wedges and wedge them in the front,it's a good thing that is an oversized garden tractor and not something like a deere 7930
great job!!! if i can offer any advise it would be about air filters. Naturally aspirated diesels love lots of fresh air. Sometimes paper filters get wet in high humidity and won't let the air through. Would recommend a screen type filter. Paper or felt filters are more for dusty dry days with blowing sand and dust.
You might want to switch sides on those rear tires , you'll have better clean out of mud & better traction , they will fill up with mud if you get into a muddy spot .
The color of that fluid is indicative of water getting into the oil. Had a Ford that did that. The problem turned out to be a bad head gasket and the coolant was mixing with the oil. It got to the point that brown foam was oozing out of the oil filler cap. A cracked head can have the same result. I would suspect you've got more than one problem...the stripped gear isn't related to the chocolate milkshake oil.
I just got a Yanmar 2210 D 4x4 with bucket, scraper blade, finish mower, cultivator ,tire chains .All for 500 bucks it runs great ! I think I have you on the best deal.
Just did the cluch in my ym155d last week...water in the oil from the shift boot...you can still get parts for these...rust on forks water was coming in..4ft bushhog. Way to big..finish mower maybe...woods rm42 is what i have works good. That's why your transmission to clutch splines are wareing bad...grease in that coupling helps
I was given a starter to one of them recently. I was told it was shot, so I hooked it up to a lil power inverter I built outta junk an a old Lincoln battery an the thing works perfectly. An it was free.
This was a better quality video but my computer crashed and lost a bunch of footage and kinda mess it up, I do plan on uploading more but I still want quality over quantity, anyways thanks for watching and for the suggestions!
Was just wondering if you still have the old transmission with the bas gear, I have a 155D that runs great, no reverse, but the gear I need is the double 14/14 that still looks good by the video, I would buy parts or the old transmission you aren't using.
There isn't a cheapest 4x4 tractor, you just bought it cheap from somewhere, also it was not in perfect condition so its not really a fair say, but a really good looking tractor, yanmar, iseki, hinomoto, mitsubishi, kubota all of them are 10/10 japanese tractors
Just STAY AWAY FROM KIOTI. mine has less than 400 hours on it and the front bucket mount has broke from stress. Most likely because it's made from recycled tin cans and bottle caps or some other crap real companies didnt waste their money on. Kioti is the WORST with quality control. The US dealers may as well sell Crack, because anyone that owns a Crapioti has to constantly OVER PAY for parts. That are made from the same shitty steal as the rest of the tractor. PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR QUALITY, so you won't end up with a money pit.
@@forcesightknight should be covered under warranty the 6 year unlimited hour warranty then? and I believe kioti is manufactured by the world's largest steel manufacturer, never said it was good steel. So I take it a backhoe wouldn't be a good idea on one of these? Guess there's a reason its 10k less than kubota
I see those older smaller Japanese tractors on Craigslist occasionally for under $3,000 and I wonder if their 4 wheel drive would better handle a snowblower attachment than my Toro 522xi? How hard is it to find parts for them?
Buy an iseki, my tx1500 is 17 horsepower, has a front pto for a snowblower and is super reliable Your three japanese tractor options are, kubota, iseki and yanmar Yanmar is probably the worst out of the three
I'm curious if the blades on the mower turned the right direction? I was told to stay away from those grey market tractors as the PTO shafts turned the wrong direction. I didn't see or hear how the transmission got repaired? Was you able to get a good used transmission from somewhere?
Yeah the pto turns the same way I think some of the old gray market Kubota’s had the backwoods pto, I had a parts tractor with a blown engine is where I got the transmission from
It's a sad shame so many commenters make comments before actually watching the video clear through. Then make dumb stupid troll like advice that was addressed in the vid. By end of video you did a good job seems like a pretty good tractor. The only thing I wonder is how does this fit with the title as buying cheapest tractor you could find? I get the fact this tractor needed serious work that would make it cheap. But you just happen to have a second tractor for parts that fit? Sounds like you bought 2 tractors to make one or you specifically looked for another tractor like the one you had. In this case title is very misleading because I watched this for tips on finding a cheap compact tractor for my 5 acres homestead. Tired of spending $3,000 plus for lawn/garden tractors that fall apart in 3 to 5 years and won't even do all the work.
Think it matters what brand it is anymore we all have plants in China John Deere case caterpillar all built in China just look up caterpillar industrial park China
I love Yanmars. Those old two cyliders are rock solid reliable. I need to come back to watch this video later
Takes me back to my Mechanic days working on Cat Dozers.
Sure glad I retired but still live within 10 miles of where I spent 25 years working.
I go up on a weekly basis and help the young fellers understand.
Wow man. What a kick ass video, from one guy whose trying to do the exact same thing 😅
Thank you for this !
I have a yammer 1500d 4x4 tractor with a brand new 4 ft. grader box and I love it.It is a very strong tractor for the size.
Got a D166, daily use for 25 years, goes on and on. Best friend, brilliant.
I have a YM165D. Great little tractor with a loader. great around the house. I do need to do fuel injector soon. Enjoy yours. They are well built.
Yeah it’s been good so far
I just came across your video. Great job working by yourself.
Thanks!

Reminds me of my youth running a gold tromel with a similar machine ,ours had a loader and a backhoe.
When it comes to small tractors i like iseki, my tx1500 (g174) when i got it the engine oil had not been changed in 14 years, i have since changed it, it is a very reliable and powerful machine, i would definitly buy another one
iseki farm They build a fine tractor, love my Iseki built Massey Ferguson GC1705. Turned 100 hours last week, gave her a full service.

Made that mistake ...lol
Lol my dad just about flipped when he told me to pull ours apart and I just let the front half fall.

Thank you for your time. Nace.
Nice Yanmar!
You might want to switch sides on those rear tires , you'll have better clean out of mud & better traction , they will fill up with mud if you get into a muddy spot .
The sound of freedom at 2:00!
Yes sir!
That gear is what happens when you shift into four wheel drive while the machine, pickup or what ever is still spinning.
These are great little tractors as long as you service them regularly they'll last forever. But most people just use them and don't take care of them.
Yeah that’s why I try and stay on top of my maintenance

GREAT JOB!

For sure!
oh ya must be hot at that price lol
The old man was selling everything and moving to Florida and they only had a week left to get rid of everything.
Yammar is a go tractor I have about 35 yr old 750 JD.
Oops I see ya figured out them tires at the end of the video , good job ! :-)
Thanks!

Way to big..finish mower maybe...woods rm42 is what i have works good. That's why your transmission to clutch splines are wareing bad...grease in that coupling helps
Yeah it handles the 4ft brush hog good power wise, it is just a little heavy for the tractor
@@TheMechanicDave yea i have a 3 ft tiller to w new knives that's a beast she front end lite for sure..cheers.
Great job Dave, thank you Sir
I put a 7 gallon air tank filled with concrete on mine wieghts around 165lbs
i gotta Bolens G152, looks almost the same .... after some fixup, it's perfect for my 2 acres .... wish it was 4wd tho ..... nice tractor .....
Thanks! I heard thos Bolens are good tractors
You'll want a "slug jug" for up front. make a basket out of steel that'll fit a couple fuel cans.
Gunfire, A little Retrowave in the beginning and tractors.....Are we Kin?
Good chance of it! Haha
Milky oil is cheap oil and it also has water in it.
John Deere were Yanmars.
Excellent machines.
I have a Yanmar mini excavator.
Never heard bad stuff about Yanmar.
Whoever owned it abused it bad .
Yeah I heard anything Yanmar is built really well
Two sets of tires = duals in my mind!
Good job well done sir
Very cool vids!!. You are a great mechanic!.
Thanks!
80lbs of wieght did the trick on my 155d
Big job! Well done!
Cute little tractor not to big or not to small
JUST PASSIN THRU, I ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO
Thanks!
Nice work
Good Logic
Congratulations on Your trouble shooting logic
With through holes in the gearbox top I usually put sealant on the bolt threads and heads as water gets in that way
I bet that same engine is used in sailboats too. Yanmar engines are used in so many things.
Yes very common
I was given a starter to one of them recently. I was told it was shot, so I hooked it up to a lil power inverter I built outta junk an a old Lincoln battery an the thing works perfectly. An it was free.
I need a starter for one of those if you want to sell it.
the water gets in round the gearchange rubber boot, its a common complaint on the small yanmars, hoyt have new ones
Wow that’s very daunting to take apart.
If you uploaded consistently like weekly your Chanel could be very successful and possibly a better camera could help
This was a better quality video but my computer crashed and lost a bunch of footage and kinda mess it up, I do plan on uploading more but I still want quality over quantity, anyways thanks for watching and for the suggestions!
Need a sleeve goes in between the steering spindle bearings no were has it iv got every thing to fix it geus I make one
Nice little tractor
Thanks
Bad head gasket No Doubt
Put a tall push guard to protest the grill and do yourself a favor and make a draw bar on the front also.
Was just wondering if you still have the old transmission with the bas gear, I have a 155D that runs great, no reverse, but the gear I need is the double 14/14 that still looks good by the video, I would buy parts or the old transmission you aren't using.
What was the little red tractor you picked up, I’m looking for diesel pump for 2t72 engine it looks just like that.
I’ve got a 135 D. Aside from the convection cooling it’s a tank
Nice interesting video other than the damn music, why people put music in place of tools rattling etc i don't know why but wish they wouldn't
I like to know how come you didn't tell everybody what kind of tractor you working on?
I like the projects. Think I’ll sub.
Awesome thanks!!
Cool find
Old Kubota’s are the best tractors out there

BU𐍂AGØ do you still have the Diesel pump and if you do would you sale it Been look for one for two years if you would call me 870 391 9186
I use to have a D165 Yanmar
Nice there really good tractors!
man what a mud hole - seems like it did not slow you down much but hear is me hoping you get a better spot to do your thing in.
Thanks! Yeah when I was doing this it was the wet season and pretty rough, this year should have some nice gravel and a garage
What's the problem in the geatbox??
I see those older smaller Japanese tractors on Craigslist occasionally for under $3,000 and I wonder if their 4 wheel drive would better handle a snowblower attachment than my Toro 522xi?
How hard is it to find parts for them?
I’m not sure on a snow blower, I use mine mainly for mowing but the Yanmars are pretty easy to get parts for
Buy an iseki, my tx1500 is 17 horsepower, has a front pto for a snowblower and is super reliable
Your three japanese tractor options are, kubota, iseki and yanmar
Yanmar is probably the worst out of the three
I have a Kubota b6000 4×4 fun tractor but don't use it much
great video! :)
Would you be willing to sell the transmission input shaft and cover with bearings and seal
Wow where can i get them i really want them
I'm curious if the blades on the mower turned the right direction? I was told to stay away from those grey market tractors as the PTO shafts turned the wrong direction. I didn't see or hear how the transmission got repaired? Was you able to get a good used transmission from somewhere?
Yeah the pto turns the same way I think some of the old gray market Kubota’s had the backwoods pto, I had a parts tractor with a blown engine is where I got the transmission from
did you watch the video? lol..
looks like a 155. i have a 135 i did over, keep um coming.
Awesome, it is a 155 it’s super handy
You could get your old transmission gears repaired. Contact Adam on the abom79 channel.
Can u find one a those for me
Dave what is the make of this tractor?
It’s a Yanmar
Maybe no music next time
Just like a wind clock worn tooth muck up everything.

Yeah I got a parts one on trade before I got this one, but yeah I got sick of lawnmowers Breaking for no reason is why I bought the tractor
Any plans to fix the other one?
Not unless I find a good deal on another parts tractor
Think it matters what brand it is anymore we all have plants in China John Deere case caterpillar all built in China just look up caterpillar industrial park China
In fact it's a Chinese company that builds the front axles and differentials and transmissions for John Deere
I've never even heard of that brand. Where is it from?
Yanmar is from Japan - They make all small John Deere diesels
Great answer!
Where did you get it ?
Marketplace
I say it's been in a flood
Probably just got stuck driving across the creak.
...PITA...
Flood tractor!!
Turn yor wheels the dont Work that way
What?
Horrible music
Thanks
Pay your money you get your choice?cheap shit is cheap shit youcant getaway from that. .
