Yanmar SA424 -50 Hour Service

Well, the tractor made it to 50 Hours without me breaking anything, so I’ll treat it to the required maintenance scheduled service.

Thanks for the video. I think you are supposed to check the hydraulic sight glass with the three point hitch lowered all the way to its lowest level.

Thanks for info. I ‘ll check out the manual.

[@kurtmuller9934]

great video! Love my SA425. Can you post the checklist you put together?

[@timtimeprojects3576]

Let me see if I saved it. I just copied from the service manual and printed so I didn’t get the manual dirty.

I liked the video! Please check your front axle fluid. The procedure you used was incorrect as the level is to be measured with the dipstick inserted but not threaded in.

[@timtimeprojects3576]

Thanks. I will take a look at that.

Just a question about greasing the nipple for the forward foot pedal? On my 324 (which I believe is identical to your 424 other than wheel size), the nipple for forward pedal is largely blocked by the brake lever (brake either on or off). Thanks for a very helpful video.

[@timtimeprojects3576]

I don’t remember the specifics but there didn’t seem to be anything blocking me. Not sure if I had the brake applied or not and I used a standard grease gun adapter. I will take a look underneath and if I find anything, I will update.

You forgot the little fuel filter in front of the water separator filter, it comes in the Yanmar kit........that one is not so fun, next time I will clamp the inlet fuel hose so fuel does not run all over, it's a gravity feed.

[@timtimeprojects3576]

Yikes. Thanks for the reminder.

[@mikegolfmike]

How did you get to the inline filter?

[@paulg1827]

@@mikegolfmike A little trickey but its manageable, make sure you use a hose clamp above the filter, its gravity feed from the tank and when you pull the filter gas spews out without a clamp on the line.

Are you using off road diesel fuel? I notice fuel bowl is clear and not red....

[@timtimeprojects3576]

I just use what is at the pump at local Shell station.
