Mechanical ability determines whether it is a big deal to change rings. Cylinder condition, piston condition, etc could make costs go up or down. Where you live can affect your selling price. Here is North East Texas a 240 with known engine problems and a 4' mower would sell for less than...

I did just that on a little cover on my 2002d.

Yes, it can be removed.

They are very simply made, easy to work on. Very reliable but I have no idea about the condition of the tractor in question. If it is indeed in "good" condition then you should get years of service. But you must remember this is a 30+ year old tractor. Some have had roll bars added and they...

The 1100 is 11pto horsepower. It would need a small mower and I don't know if you are wanting to finish mow or pasture mow with a rotary cutting. There was a gentleman on another forum with a YM135 (similiar size to the 1100) looking for a 3' rotary mower. Lot to be considered. How fast do you...

FX24 is power shift, F24 is geared transmisssion.

You stole it at that price. I have done a little work on an FX24D so I have a couple of pictures. I believe that you have either an F24D or FX24D. Can't tell from the pictures. The FX28D/F28D has different rear wheels than your pictures. Posting a couple of pictures. One showing the power...

Compression release is a little metal lever located down a little on the left side of the dash. Turn it to hold the exhaust valves open until tractor is making a good spin, then release it but keep the tractor spinning. Thinking you have a 240 parts manual. If so, you can see it on figure 17 of...

Might want to try this. http://www.hoyetractor.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=43 My instructions may not be 100% accurate. Sure not guaranteed to be correct.

Did you try following my hap hazzard instructions in your earlier thread? Shouldn't be that difficult. Have you loacated the 22 degree mark on your crank pulley?

Sure can't know but that baling wire may be to hold it from jumping out of range gear. California has experienced that.

Check out this thread. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/yanmar/257619-yanmar-ym240d-injector-pump-removal-2.html All shims you have that are the size and shape of the injector pump most likely were under it. If you want to time it I would start there.

Timing is done with shims under the injector pump. If the shims haven't been changed the timing should be correct. However, if the pump is rebuilt I am not sure? Timing does not have to be done with a machine. There is a procedure for doing it. If it were me I would install it back with the...

According to the parts list there is a new and old type strainer configuration. California's is the old and required a gasket. http://www.hoyetractor.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=194150-42340 The new type requires an o-ring. 24321-000600...

I believe it is behind the bright green triangular flange. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/yanmar/253123d1330200943-ym240d-will-not-move-pto-picture-013.jpg 5.3 quarts with filter. You are right on the 16 quarts.
