    YM226D Knuckle seals

    Good morning all! I'm in the process of 'inheriting' a new-to-me Yanmar 226D from my late father-in-law's estate. As I understand is common on these tractors when they've got loaders, the front knuckles are leaking oil so that's going to be first up on the agenda. I've never owned one of these...

    8N PTO Seal

    Replacing it makes sense to me, in my situation. I'm already in there replacing a leaking seal. While I'm at it I'd also do the bearings anyway; no sense putting it back together with old components. It doesn't cost much more $ to just buy the upsized shaft kit. And it'll save me from having to...

    8N PTO Seal

    I'm not worried about oil loss; I'm going to drain and clean the housing out while I've got the shaft out anyway. Whenever I get a new-to-me piece of equipment I always change all of the fluids anyway so I have a baseline. I just don't want to change them twice because of a do-over if I can...

    8N PTO Seal

    Finally had some nice weather and some spare time line up today so I pulled the overrunning clutch off and found.... an 1-1/8 shaft. So, upgraded shaft and bearings it is! Thanks for the recommendation.

    8N PTO Seal

    I'm of a similar opinion; I've run older equipment before and never had an issue with it. I think it's similar to the exaggerated tendency of old tractors to flip over when they had implements hooked up to the 3pt; it happened to a few people who were using their equipment 'just wrong' and then...

    8N PTO Seal

    Hm...I'll have to check and see what I've got. It has an ORC on it right now so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the small shaft. On the other hand, the old owner used it with a rotary cutter so even if it was the newer/bigger shaft he would still have wanted an ORC to keep from feeding back...

    8N PTO Seal

    That's an idea, but the ditch in front of my house is about 8 feet deep, so I don't know if I'd be able to get the tractor back out after I replaced the seal! :ROFLMAO:

    8N PTO Seal

    Good morning! Long time lurker, first time poster. I recently picked up a new-to-me 1951 8N. Somebody's father had 'restored' it years ago, mostly by painting the chassis/frame with red paint (including all of the zerks :rolleyes:) and painting the sheet metal the wrong color gray, and then it...
