    Hydraulics too slow when cold

    The screen was completely clean when re-checked. The hoses/couplers that was mentioned look to be in good condition and the clamps are tight. I'll pull them off anyway and check for any internal separations that may cause blockage. The filter is a Fram Extra Guard # PH8A which was what the...

    Hydraulics too slow when cold

    I still have not figured out the problem. There is no foaming, the fluid I used says equivalent to JD303, and I have yet to locate any rubber suction line grommets. About where would this grommet be located? The only rubber parts that I have are the hoses connecting the larger hard line coming...

    Well, if you run across an 8.5 x 24 x 14 turf tire/tires for half price, then I'm interested. Stan

    Hydraulics too slow when cold

    The particles on the screen did not look metallic.....well, anymore than the fine stuff an automatic transmission would have from normal wear. The larger particles did seem to be hard rubber and could have been an O-ring. There about 15-20 particles about the size of BB's, but the rest was...

    Hydraulics too slow when cold

    The screen was plugged fairly badly. There were lots of large bits and particles on the outside of it that required scrubbing with a brush in my parts washer. I have power steering and the hoses are frayed on the outside. I'm wondering if maybe they are doing the same on the inside, also. Note...

    Hydraulics too slow when cold

    The manual just says to use only JD Hy-Gard transmission and hydraulic fluid (or equivalent). A friend who is a tractor mechanic says that the universal type is designed to work in majority of all tractors. Since the JD850 was built by Yanmar, I figured it would take the same fluids as Yanmar...

    Hydraulics too slow when cold

    I used the universal type. It's the Travelers premium multi grade (10-W-20) sold at Tractor Supply Co. Stan

    Hydraulics too slow when cold

    I know this is a Yanmar site, but.......... On my JD850 (Yanmar 3T80J engine) that I bought last summer, the hydraulics are very slow, and sometimes will not work at all on colder days (below 55F). It takes warming it up for 20 min or longer before I see any improvement. When it does start to...

    YM1700 oil filter

    I can't agree more about using the right filters, but the nearest Yanmar parts dealer is more than 40 miles away, and ordering one doubles the cost with shipping. I have a buyer coming tomorrow to pick tractor up, and had promised to change oil and filter by the time he gets here. On the other...

    YM1700 oil filter

    <COLOR color="blue"><s></s>This is what I found out today, from another source on tractors; <e></e></COLOR> FILTERS FOR THE YANMAR YM1700 I have been using the $5 Fram 3593A with the anti-drainback valve for several years. You can also use the WalMart ST3593A($2), Napa Gold 1344,1334,1064, Napa...

    YM1700 oil filter

    I'm changing the oil before placing tractor up for sale. What is the correct oil filter for this tractor, and what other filters will interchange with it? Nearest Yanmar dealer is 40 miles away and Auto Zone is just down the street. I need one like today.

    Implements hitting back of tires issue

    On the finish mower issue: There was supposed to be two 6" to 7" long float arms/levers that go between lift arms and mower pins to allow it to float during use. They were missing from mower when I bought it. Solution: fabricated arms from scrap metal lying around shop...problem solved. On...

    Implements hitting back of tires issue

    Adjusting the top link has no effect. I have a couple of dog bone extensions that can be added between the lift arms and the mower pins, but this allows the mower to drift side to side by about 6" each direction. I don't care for that because I have fence rows that I like to get up close to and...

    Implements hitting back of tires issue

    The implement is what's hitting the tires. On my finish mower, the front wheels of the mower will lightly touch the rear tractor tires when lifted. On the MF sickle mower, the blade lift lever on the mower hits the rear tires of the tractor when lifted. The lower lift arms do not touch the tires...

    Implements hitting back of tires issue

    I have the YM1700. The rear tires are turned out and I have 29" lift arms. I just bought a MF sickle mower and part of it hits the rear tires when lifted enough to carry it. I also have this problem with my finish mower, but to a lesser degree. I understand that 29" arms are the longer ones...
