You are a very talented mechanic. I am 75. When I was in my 40's I bought a brand new Yanmar GT-14 garden tractor for my six acres. GREAT tractor!

[@MattsShop]

Thank you I appreciate it! I bet your Yanmar is still running great!

[@travisricks3436]

You have helped me TREMENDOUSLY with uploading the John Deere TM1192 Manual!! My Yanmar YM2500 is getting a new head gasket and I need the specs for the John Deere 850 tractor, because it shares the same engine (Yanmar 3T80) as my YM2500. I absolutely LOVE these old Yanmar tractors!!!

You sir, did 1 outstanding EXCELLENT JOB!!!! You should open your own business refurbishing these old Yanmar tractors!!!

[@lawrencesolman6673]

Yes! Congratulations on your successful rebuild! I've been watching after I spun a rod bearing in my Yanmar. The lesson I had to learn the hard way: ALWAYS check your fluid levels before you run it even if it's only going to be a few minutes... Your Yanmar turned out absolutely awesome! You do top notch work! Do you want to do mine next? 🤣🤣

[@MattsShop]

Thanks man. Yea, always check your oil! Sure haha

Laughing, Attaboy Mathew! Did my heart good to see and hear the results. How much money do you figure you invested in the rebuild?

[@MattsShop]

Thanks for watching! Probably $1500-1600, but I went all out. You could do it cheaper.

[@williambehles7704]

Going all out and replacing everything saves retracing steps though. No point in doing the same jobs 2 or 3 times. For $1600 and a WHOLE lot of work, you have yourself a good little tractor. What do you plan on doing with it?

[@packattack1762]

It’s a $15,000 or more tractor these days so you did extremely well

[@Woodwardm88]

What was your final compression readings on the cylinders after the rebuild?

[@MattsShop]

I checked it again and I had very low compression like 200PSI. Found out it was pointless to check compression on these diesel engines with the thick diesel rings. They take forever to break in and seat.

[@Woodwardm88]

@@MattsShop Thats very interesting. I had 300 psi on each cylinder of my ym187d. I put new rings and pistons in it and had the head done. My final test was 350 psi. Not much gain lol

[@MattsShop]

@@Woodwardm88 That's exactly what I'm talking about. People said it needs 600-650 PSI to run right, but they are wrong. Testing the compression on these Yanmar diesel tractor engines after a rebuild is a waste of time. The compression is probably much higher after the rings seat. I never rechecked the compression after I broke it in.

[@travisricks3436]

Great Job.... I really enjoyed your Video !!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rjose610]

I have a yanmar 1610d. What kind of coolant does it take ?

[@MattsShop]

I use regular green coolant 50/50 mixed in mine. Some people say to use "anti-cavitation" coolant or an additive to help stop wear on the cylinder liners. I haven't tried it.

[@tadaskabliukas2797]

where did you download the engine parts from?

[@headpainter1]

Got the head and pistons out of my 3 cyl yanmar. Gonna go back with 3 new pistons and cylinders. I saw that some say to use a cylinder hone on the new cylinders or do they come already honed? My pistons/rings weren't broken but the top of 1 looked like the crown was coming off as top ring groove was 2x wide. Ordering full rebuild kit soon. 2 cyl were pitted near bottom. Head cracked by 2 injectors so new head as well. Common issue on these I think.

[@sethhill5689]

if you had welded the nut to the angle iron, you could have used a power tool on the top welded nut to remove the sleeves also.

[@smalltownMainer]

would you say that was due to high hours or uncommon issue? cant remember if i asked about it before.

[@MattsShop]

Pretty sure someone overheated it due to a radiator leak. It damaged the pistons. Then they probably tried to use starter fluid. It's common with these older tractors. They get ran HARD!

Thank you!

[@lewis2553]

Aw, man, I was hoping to see you remove the harmonic balancer, so I could see what kind of puller, if any, you used. I have to go in there on mine and see why my oil pressure is dropping. I've eliminated almost everything except the oil pump. The rod bearings don't show much wear, so I assume the rest of the engine is probably okay. I repaired the oil pressure regulator already. It's spring had rubbed on the wall of the bore and was almost in two. Plus, the ball seat looked like it was chipped on the edge of the hole. A Dremel tool and a ball shaped rock fixed that right up. It just happened that I had bought a whole sheet of those rocks a few weeks ago for another project. 😂 I also had some similar springs in a pack of springs that I had bought from a building supply store decades ago. They were the same diameter and had the same number of turns of about the same thickness of wire. The only thing I had to do was to stretch one out and then stress relieve it to get it to proper length, being careful not to distort it, so it wouldn't rub on the bore wall like the last one. It gave me 48 PSI - just right! It has worked for a long time, but now the pressure is dropping as the temperature rises. Also, my gauge reading has been fluctuating rapidly in time with the engine firing, so I'm thinking maybe I have a damaged pump impeller lobe or something like that.

[@christophergallagher531]

When the sub assemblies start going on a block, I start feeling a building anticipation

[@christophergallagher531]

No different watching you make this happen! I can't help but wonder what went wrong in the first place. Just one nasty overheating? Congratulations! Chris

[@MattsShop]

The motor was overheated. The cooling system was leaking (no pressure) and it was worked hard like that. Probably used starting fluid too.

[@christophergallagher531]

even a dumb nuts like me would not use starting fluid in a diesel! I have seen loggers use DW 40 for old low compression chain saws.

@@christophergallagher531 A lot of people do it and it blows them up.

[@tejeda7324]

Hey Matt, question once you put the Head gasket and you put the engine back together after adding fuel and all oils is it just Plug ang play? or do you need to do anything extra once you put the engine back together before your turn it on?

[@bigkat1919]

I still think the wrong type of coolant was used and caused hot spots on the cylinder liners/sleeve. Good job Matt!

[@MattsShop]

Thanks, I'm not sure. I think all the water was boiled out of the coolant. The coolant that came out was very thick and dark green. IDK if it's possible. Just a theory.

Maybe I missed it, but did you pull the compression numbers after the rebuild? I saw the 100/200psi pre build numbers. Awesome job by the way.

[@MattsShop]

I did compression test it afterwards, but it was useless because the big thick diesel rings take time to seat. It gave a false low reading. Thanks!

[@boto669]

Maybe, it is now time to do a commpresion test :)

[@rjose610]

One is battery fluid level (obsolete), overheat, coolant tank level, and oil pressure. Basically dummy lights. If one is on it means "check this".

If you put a front loader on it I have some suggestions on buttressing the whole unit to the chassis. Otherwise you will be having trouble with the bolts on the belly always coming loose.

[@MattsShop]

What are your suggestions? I have been looking for a loader. Hard to find right now!

[@rickkatz4692]

Once you get the front loader your going to not trust the 4 belly bolts unless you weld the under brackets to the sides and make shure the belly bolts are secure weather there number 8 or not. Just make shure the bolts on the belly pan are not broke and sliding under the belly.
