I am needing to replace brakes on my 1984 ym186 two wheel drive and in need of a brief procedure and insights as to what is involved. Has anyone performed this maintenance procedure?

Sorry I can't be much help. I don't think I'd go into the job blind though. On different tractors the job can range from a fairly simple common sense thing to one that requires quite a bit of tear-down, special tools and a lot of parts to keep track of. I'd also want to make sure that parts that are likely to be needed are on-hand before starting the tear down. Parts orders from many manufacturers for compacts around this age are becoming difficult.
If your Yanmar is a N.A. model then there's some help and probably manuals available from Yanmar dealers. Yanmars can be suported from after-market sources as well. Wish I something more useful to say but I'd sure want a manual before starting tear down. ....

I found that the left brake on our 1510D was not operating as well as the right. Seems like some doofus ("now whoo would that be?" - my better half asks) forgot and left the brake hand lever engaged.
Anyway - the hardest part was getting the fender out of the way. After that there was a pin holding the shaft to the brake shoe eccentric and 4 bolts holding the plate in.
I popped out the brake shoes, cleaned everything up and reassembled. The whole thing took maybe a hour.
Your results may vary!
