Front end loader ID

[Dan Wayne]

I have a 45 year old Yanmar YM155D with a front end loader that needs a lot of work. The paint matches the tractor exactly but, it has only safety warning stickers on it and nothing about a manufacturer. I need to replace almost all of the hydraulic system and I'm just looking for a place to start. The steel tubing is the most worrisome part for me.

Thanks in advance for any info you might have,
Dan

According to Tractor Data the factory equipment loader was a YFL-155TF.

In any case it will surprise me if you can find the new tubes (or much, if any off the shelf parts) for it. I suggest you look around for a local hydraulic shop that can bend and make replacement tubes and hoses. Don't be surprised if the cost is greater than you think it will be. This same info is true for old loaders, regardless of the brand, in general.

There are 2 or 3 OE loaders that could possibly fit your YM155D. There should be an ID plate on the pillar of the mid-mount or on one of the arms on the left side.

Here are a few examples,

To his question of parts for his loader, if any model, how available are off the shelf parts for these Yanmar loaders and the hydraulics on them?

I finally did find the tag. It is inside the left post. Its just a sticker about 1" x 1.5" with some damage but, I can plainly see the P/N YFL 155.

Thank You.

Nice, you have the factory YM155 with the factory YFL155 loader. This makes it all the better.

How to take it apart and rebuild the hydraulic cylinders.

YFL 155 hydraulic cylinder replacements

Good morning/afternoon! My saga with the YFL155 continues, although, I think I'm getting a better handle on it (with your all's help). I have a 155d yanmar with a YFL155 FEL. I identified that the lift cylinders have an internal leak (valve is fine). I know there's little known about the YFL155...

On my 155D there's a divider block in the high pressure line between the shifter and the steering column.
