YM1601D just acquired

[Brithunter-HT]

A few days ago (last Thursday evening) we acquired this Yanmar YM1601D. Now am new to compact tractors of any kind and a novice with tractors in general having only ever played about with a 49 vintage Ferguson TVO that dad had some 25 years back.

Can anyone show me where the oil light is?

I think the sender is shot on ours as I found it disconnected and connecting the wire has done nothing.

The lamp tests only brings up four red lights, rad level, expansion bottle level, pre heat and charge. So if the oil light in on that panel perhaps I need to be looking at bulbs.

The temp gauge also is not working so looks like a new sender is called for as well.

I think this one has stood outside without cover a lot. The indicator switch is seized solid and the horn button does not work. She has some surface rust that we will attend to when we can. Oh yes it had 710 hours on the clock.

It's the four lamps with symbols on that light up. Is the oil light one of the unmarked ones?

She runs fine, the vendor fitted a replacement water pump as it was weeping, we had to get and fit a new belt as it was really worn ..................... yes it over heated whilst grass cutting. So as it was probably due I changed the engine oil and fitted a new filter. We spent some 5 hours this afternoon evening cutting the field with no issues. Some of the growth is thigh high out there so it's working hard.

Any help and advice appreciated.

The top left is the battery electrolite level. Most likely unhookd and most likely the battery on it doesn't have that connection anyway.

The bottom left is the overflow bottle level indicator. Just warns you when the level is to low in the bottle.

The top right is the oil pressure light. It should come on when you turn the key to the on position and go off after cranking.

The bottom right is the charge indicator. It should come on when you turn the key to the on position and go off after cranking.

Ahh thank you.

The top left <I><s></s>"oil light" <e></e></I>comes on when you turn the key left to pre heat position hence I thought it was the pre heat light. As it lights up when it's turned on and goes out once the engine starts I can only assume it's working OK.

This morning bought two new H/L bulbs as one blew after I wiped the dust off it <E>:roll:</E> the local motorcycle shop only had 35/35 instead of the 25/25 ones fitted. As I don't use the lights much I guess they will be ok. I will be adding a work light and fitting a new mirror to replace the broken one.

I can't see there on your picture but wondering if there is a red light to the right of the steering column? If so, that is your thermostart light.

Nope no red light:-

Not the powershift yet is clearly labelled as a YM1601D:-

She is currently in 2WD option. With the topper I use speed 1 on the PTO as instructed to by the vendor.

Nice pictures. My 2002d dash is very similiar to yours. I have a red light that is the thermostart light and a little work light on mine.

The 1610 was the powershift. The 1601 was manual transmission.
