    Got to be rings - right?

    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...

    Is it worth it?

    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...

    Is it worth it?

    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...

    What did I buy?

    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...

    The good news is -

    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...

    Setting the fuel pump timing

    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?

    Hydralic Transmission Screen Location

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

    Hydralic Transmission Screen Location

    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.

    Hydralic Transmission Screen Location

    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...

    Bought another Yanmar - YM186D w Loader

    Off subject, but maybe I won't get arrested. I have been admiring your Persimmon tree and it's fruit. I have a native Persimmon tree out in front of the house. It is usually loaded with fruit and was this year. They are all gone now. No one to my knowledge eats the persimmons off these trees. I...

    Bought another Yanmar - YM186D w Loader

    It always warms my heart to hear stories of people sharing with others not quite as fortunate. Thanks for sharing. I know you will figure out a carry all. Just looking at your box blade it looks as though you could just cut a piece of plywood at least as wide as your blade and not sure how far...

    Do most people start with an issue??

    You need to zero in on what caused the over heat before buying any parts. Any feedback on Californias suggestions of checking the interior and exterior radiator fins for cleanliness? When you crank up cold with the cap off be watching for a constant stream of bubbles. This would indicate a head...
