Tractor question.

[Treepep 598]

I have a Yanmar YM2000Z 2wd tractor.  1975-77 I believe.  (my Japanese is not great)

 

My starter gave up.  Well it operates on occasion.  In the past I have used a site called Hoye out of Texas.  They unfortunately have been purchased and I am having difficulty reaching anyone.  I would prefer to find a brush kit.  The solenoid is readily available.  The starter and/or kit I am struggling with acquiring.   

 

Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

That is NOT red square!  Many thanks I will muddle through.  It does not seem that long ago where I could put a starter on the counter at my Main NAPA and they would give me options.  One that is seemingly unavailable is a darn brush kit.  Guess that was more than thirty years ago...

 

I will keep searching.  Or find more yanmars to pirate parts from

My classmate when I was a kid lived a few houses down and his Dad sold Yanmars for awhile. I thought they looked pretty cool.

Yanmar question again.  I found a starter down south and after replacing aging fuel lines/filter, bleed lines she is up and running.  

 

The shifter is all a kimber.  Mowing along and reached my destination and the shifter became all loosey not unlike the horse without the set screw.  I lifted the boot carefully from the shift tower and half of a roll pin emerged.  It was clearly sheared.  Now its a fuss getting into gear.  I am seeking a parts diagram/list?  Still not having great luck anymore finding parts.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

Keep them horses cool folks!
