    New project - 4WD Articulated Tractor

    Ahhhhh....this should hold them for awhile :D. If I could get them to send you ten bucks then they would have to pay me back first! I won't hold my breath :) Mark

    New project - 4WD Articulated Tractor

    Mith, Feeling anxious….how’s the project going? Shot my mouth off all over town, told my buddies about this ‘bloke’ who is engineering in house, his own 4WD hydraulically powered and assisted articulating tractor. Even showed pictures (here in my home PC) all the progress you’ve made :D...

    My new old 240D has some issues. Please, ideas, suggestions, input needed.

    The throttle lever position is a matter of personal preference (within a few inches) as the threaded link is what actually dictates the injection pump lever to convert position to RPM. Readjusting by loosening the stop nuts and threading out/in the throttle metering rod to and from idle to full...

    Pick up some fuel conditioner...like Lucas or PowerService too. And man, you never actually notice how good this stuff is until you stop using it. Good luck and keep us posted. Mark

    Geeze CA. Outstanding! I humbly bow to the wealth and depth of your knowledge of the YM240 :D. (SHOOT! The Craigslist post has been cancelled by it's owner).

    My new old 240D has some issues. Please, ideas, suggestions, input needed.

    Great stuff California. You can remove the friction nut, outer washers and dimple with a small punch and hammer. This extends the life for awhile but the better fix is a new friction disk. The small fuel line that runs from the last injector towards the tank MAY routed to fill the fuel bottle...

    NorCal Newbie with first tractor.

    I forget the gent's name that shared all of the great information about the appropriate battery for your YM240D. I believe he lives in CALIFORNIA, and owns a Yanmar in CALIFORNIA, and...oh yeah, has an apple orchard in CALIFORNIA! :starbucks: On a more serious note...I've been caught between...

    Wheelhorse

    Always liked the whole lineup of WheelHorse tractors. Yours is in exceptional condition and a very nice looking machine. Sad to say I've seen many trailer'd and haded for the scrap yard to be sold for it's weight....Warms my heart to see any of them up and running or undergoing a restoration...

    New project - 4WD Articulated Tractor

    COOL Mtih, Help me out here...in the first picture (from L to R) I see a small flow control valve, then a 'clutch' driven pump, then a joy stick controller, is that right? The second picture is the wheel motor obviously. Is your new B&S Vanguard diesel? Thanks for sharing - Mark

    Considering alternate GT power source

    Hey Guys and Gals, I recently acquired an old GT garden tractor of the late ‘60’s early ‘70’s era. It’s an SS-12 Sears. My original intentions were to restore the little tractor just for fun but the previous owner did some troublesome and moderately malicious ‘butchering’ while replacing the...

    why I have been quiet

    God Brandi, I’m late as usual but I just wanted to add that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I read a loving commitment and concerns in your words…and elderly, vulnerable parents is such a sensitive issue that only the children can protect. Since you are that child I hope...

    My 1510 is smoking like a hot-rodded Cummins.

    Ditto what California said. Overheating these engines can often lead to rings contracting into the piston grooves…and sometimes they stick. Fuel inside the cylinder walls will compensate for the compression to quite a high degree…but the crank case oil will show significant signs of diesel fuel...

    455 owners out there?

    I wish I knew more about the JD LT and GT tractors...not enough to give a viable opinion anyway... I will say that in terms of durability and longevity, even in the smallest of tractors....nothing runs like a Deere Diesel (or Kubota, MF, Simplicity etcetera..)

    New project - 4WD Articulated Tractor

    Spectacular!!!!!!!! Did you digitally plan and transfer specifications from graph to your buck? I'm thinking this buck is for a fiberglass reinforced gel-coat mold which will be the final for casting the body panels? Beautiful work Des and I wish you great success. Mark

    off road only dump trailer

    Cool project! I've just about always wanted to build a dump trailer for myself...never seem to find the time to do the research and get started. I'm seriously looking forward to your build when you get underway (so I can steal all of your ideas :D). Mark
