    YM1500 OVERHEATING

    Drained the radiator and the oil and saw no contamination either way. Back flushed system and it is running cooler. Did not see anything come out of the system but for whatever reason it is running 45-50 degrees cooler now. Still have the blow by but it runs cooler for now. When the weather...

    YM1500 OVERHEATING

    the oil is covering the hash marks on the dip stick except the upper 25%. There is no full or low mark on the dip stick. If the block was cracked wouldn't there be water in the crank case? When I drain the oil I do not see evidence of that. The coolant does get low over time but it boils out of...

    YM1500 OVERHEATING

    Engine oil is 3/4 up on the dip stick. That is 4 quarts of oil as specified. It is moisture coming out the blow by and occasionally the grease comes out. It gets worse the hotter it gets. It turns over easily with compression release on and more difficult with it off. Took off the valve cover...

    YM1500 OVERHEATING

    Radiator fins are clean you can see through them. It seems to be ok after replacing the head gasket and gradually gets worse. At $70.00 a piece I can't replace the head gasket on a regular basis. Do not have water in the oil or oil in the water. No white or black smoke from the exhaust just the...

    YM1500 OVERHEATING

    Replaced both pistons and rings along with one piston arm and new bearings. Did run a hone in piston walls to slick up. Rings an pistons went in tight. could it be cylinder jackets? No scoring visible. Did have to replace crank shaft also. I've got more money in it than the tractors worth but it...

    YM1500 OVERHEATING

    Blow by is at least as bad as the video if not worse. Had the head trued at the machine shop when worked. Using a metal straight edge they both appear to be true and flat.

    YM1500 OVERHEATING

    I had the radiator boiled out and pressure tested when I rebuilt the engine. Everything checked out good. The blow by looks like grey waxy grease when it comes out. It comes out sporadically in clumps. looks like steam coming out the blow by tube until it eventually spits out the waxy substance...

    YM1500 OVERHEATING

    MY YM1500 is overheating when using any implement. It has the Hoye water pump on it and I have replaced the head gasket twice. Once when I rebuilt the engine and again to see if that was the overheating issue. There is a waxy substance that comes out of the blow by tube but no water in the...

    YM1500 FRONT MAIN BEARING

    How do I go about pressing out the front main bearing on a YM1500 block. Can I just put the block on the press and press it out from the FRONT outside to the inside or will I crack the block? Does it need to be supported on the inside and what should I use? Any pointers?

    YM1500 WILL NOT RUN

    Well I finally got everything back together and I do mean everything. I replaced everything other than the cam shaft and the cylinder sleeves. It cranks with no effort and runs great with ouil pressure around 50psi. I still see faint white smoke from the blowby tube but no oil coming out so I am...

    YM1500 torque #'s

    Putting my motor back together and just wondering if the 36lbs torque on the rod caps is sufficient. Seems low for something that moves that much. Just curious before I get it all together.The manual states those torque numbers and the ones for the main bearing housing and it just seems very low.

    oil, oil everywhere

    If you can borrow a 1/2" impact wrench and compressor or use an electric one it will come right off. That is how I got mine off.
