Hi:
I am having trouble finding the correct fuel filter for my Yanmar M1500D. The filters I find for it are just a tad too tall. The numbers I was given by the guy I bought it from call for one of the following filters:

(Wix 33262) Too Tall

(Ballwin PF937) cross refrences to the Wix 33262

(New Holland 100366) Which I haven't been able to find in my area.

Is it possible mine has been in the tractor so long under pressure it has shrunken a little bit? And the Wix will fit it? Needing some help here. Thank you.....Wes

Hi Capt:
Regarding the question of whether the Yanmars are worth the price? My place of employment has a Yanmar (made for America) they have had for 15 years. I have no idea of the total acreage that has to be mowed, but I assure you it is large. Just a guess but probably between 200 and 300 acres, probably more. (Incidentally this acreage is rough, hilly terrain too.) They pull a 5 foot finish mower with it. The shop foreman told me recently that in 15 years it has never had a major breakdown. All that's been done to it is routine maintenance. That was good enough for me, so I bought one from a local guy. I absolutely love operating it. I bought the M1500D. I have a 5 foot finish mower, and a 4 foot rough mower for it. I hope in the spring to add a single bottom breaking plow, and a 4 foot roto tiller. Just yesterday, I mowed one of my uncle's yards, then came home and mowed mine. Later in the evening I put the rough mower on it and did some brush hogging. Would I recommend a Yanmar? You bet. Mine does all I ask it too, and appears to be capable of so much more. My opinion is that the Yanmar's are probably one of the best bargains in the tractor world.

Hi All:
I am going to have to replace the rear tires on my Yanmar M1500D soon. I am curious if anyone knows approximately what these will cost. They are 8.3 / 8 - 22 .. I bought some for my big tractor this summer and they were $ 200.00 each. I am curious if these smaller tires are close to the same price. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who would know. Thank you...Wes

Model is the M1500D Curious how I would use this lever. Is it for cold weather starting? If so, how do you use it? I've not had this tractor long, but I sure do enjoy using it. Thanks Wes

Hi Everyone:
I'm looking for a used 4 foot Roto Tiller in good condition. If you know of anyone close to West Central Arkansas that has one for sale, have them get in touch with me. Thanks...Wes

Hi All:
I am curious if any of you have noticed more vibration in the smaller tractors at or around 1500 rpm. My M1500D smoothes out dramatically somewhere around 2000 rpm. Just curious if I may have a problem. I noticed too after crossing a small ditch a couple of times I had a small amount of antifreeze on the top part of my radiator, and approximately a 1/2 teaspoon on top of the battery. The system seemed pressurized ok though, and the radiator was almost full of coolant. Any thoughts on this? Thanks..Wes

Hi Everyone:

Well I became the owner of an M1500D today. I bought a 4' brush hog, and 5' finish mower for it. What I'd like to find now is a full set of turf tires and rims for it. The little tractor seems to run well and everything seems to work on it. Next spring I'm thinking of buying a roto tiller for it, and maybe a small breaking plow ... I'm looking forward to working with this tractor as time permits. :)

I am curious if a Yanmar M1500D can handle a 5' finish mower ok. I would appreciate any knowledgable advice on this before I buy a finish mower. Would a 4' finish mower be better? Thanks..
