Hello, first posting on this forum. Thanks to the help of the guys at TractorByNet I was able to determine the issue with my Yanmar and subsequently directed here for further help.
So, plowing a pile of brush last week on my '71-'72ish YM240D, 4wd. Went to back up and the passenger rear wheel started to bind (like the brake was still on) and a simultaneous pop sound. I limped it up to the shop to start investigating. Last night I discovered the passenger bull gear is missing several teeth. I'm new to this tractor and tractors in general. I consider myself pretty competent in mechanical repairs and willing to learn along the way. My couple of questions are as follows.
Parts. Can I get them and what am I going to need or should be done/replaced while I'm inside and have access to things that I wouldn't otherwise.
Tools. Special tools or specifically, pullers needed to complete the repairs. I've found a donor 240d that is 2wd. I'm assuming it has the same internals?
Capability. Is this something better left to professionals or am I making out to be larger that it really is?
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated!
