First, it is worth more than $2000 to me. Once warmed up, it runs the cutter fine and can pull a disk with no problem. I'm in the "Sportsman's Paradise" of North Central Louisiana. Thanks to all the technical info you have sent me Winston, it doesn't look like a big deal to replace the rings...

Define worse. Is this a tractor I need to go ahead and sell or is it all that big of a deal to change the rings? After it runs for about 30 minutes, it easily starts on its own without the need for anything. I have gotten the termostart working, but I really don't see how this process would...

After replacing fuel pump, termostart, and attempting every cold start procedure I can find or that has been recommended, I am still unable to get this YM240 to crank without assistance - "starting fluid." I even took it to the John Deere place concerned the the shims between the block and the...

Winston, There is some blow by, but it is not terrible or significantly affecting the oil level. I did manage to change the oil over the weekend, but as I'm leaking so much diesel fuel, I really do not feel comfortable trying to put this machine through it's paces at present. Looks like it is...

Where is the "compression release" located? the new battery has no problem spinning the engine over, but it just does not want to catch.

Started to PM you California, It looks like the diesel is coming from the area on the bottom of the tank where the plastic was sealed during the manufacturing process of the tank. My suspicion is that after sitting for a year or two dry, the vibration from running up caused this separation...

I have a running Yanmar 240! So, :thankyou2: The bad news is that now I have discovered: a leaking fuel tank leaking / bad water pump leaking hydraulic fluid radiator hoses are in a poor state so might as well change the fan belt and NO BREAKS! Any volunteers going to be in the area...

Winston, at least it is another option that I can try. Thank you for the additional information.

First, I was thinking that :hammer: would be better and perhaps more productive than :14_6_12: Yes, I've got the 22 degree mark and like I said, I've got the squirt, but nothing happening. If this is where it is suppose to be, then it must be the injector(s). Just was not certain if this was...

Does anyone have or know where I can find the procedure? I've got good compression, a rebuilt fuel pump, and I'm getting squirts when I turn it over. The possible culprits have to be either the injector(s) are clogged or timing is off or both? Is there a way to know for certain that the...

I would presume you are correct. I did start with an issue. I bought an old Yanmar that wasn't running and that needed help and as I get one item resolved, I am encountering others. For example, despite the fact that the fuel pump is still being rebuilt or if it has been rebuilt, still hasn't...

Down here in Louisiana, we have a solution for the deer issue. My particular preference is 30.06, but I've recently begun to incorporate the .308 into my efforts. Makes for some lean and tasty steaks and the jerky is mighty fine too. Of course in Louisiana, not much in the way of bad food...

While I sent this to both California and Winston, there is not much time left on this auction. It is for 5 Yanmar tractors total. Although they are different models, they all are 4wd and have FELs. There are also 2 additional backhoe attachments that go to the winning bidder. Just a heads...

It would seem that the CA solution offers the opportunity to use low range if needed where the LA solution does not. Hope all have successful and uneventful weekends!

CA and Winston, I can not begin to thank you enough for your efforts to assist. At this point, I am resigned to see if the local John Deere Service Center can in fact get the fuel pump reinstalled and in the process, get it running correctly. I have, however, made a short list of the...

Agreed, but unfortunately, the fuel pump was removed when I purchased the machine. No idea which shim(s) go where. To this end, it is at a John Deer Service Facility. I may be mistaken, but I believe Yanmar did make some JD tractors under contract. Thus, the procedure should at least be...

California, I've owned the Hinomoto for several very trouble free years. It unfortunately, does not match up with the MF (whichever term you'd rather) as I've felt a many a time that a MF was in fact a MF on the old soybean farm. Lately, it will not hold water in the radiator, but it hasn't...

Sounds like I will have to take the plate off to find out whether I have the o-ring or gasket. Bummer. Thanks for the info everyone and thanks for the additional info Winston.

California, Thank you for the picture. Is there a gasket between the triangular plate and tranny?

Thank you Sir Winston! I will have additional questions about this YM 240, but would also like to know if anyone can tell me where I might go to find information on a Hinomoto. Found one for $900 and it runs great, but it's loosing water somewhere. I suspect it is either a blown hose or...
