Was doing some plowing with a small 4 ft. cultivator/chipper and felt a pop in the rear end of my 240D Yanmar. Now when I go forward or backwards either rearwheel will lock up (Not at the same time) at a certain point. It may or may not do it at all but when the rear axle does lock up on either side it is always at the same point because I have marked the tire tread and it always locks up in the same position. Sometimes it jerks and will not lock up. Any Comments on this problem would be deeply appreciated. Thank..Joseph

The good news is that for this export model, there are Service and Parts manuals available, if you can find a dealer with stock.

The bad is that I doubt there are many 240s in salvage yards from which you could get a replacement diff.

The maybe is that there may be more common models that use the same parts.

And the cross-your-fingers is to make sure the diff-lock is not engaged. ....

You've broken a component of the differential lock. Possibly just a dog, but there's no way to order parts till you tear into it. No guarantees, but the YM240 is cousin to the John Deere 850

Bugs, the last time I looked JD (technically "Deere and Company") was doing just fine at its Illinois complex. During the 80s, it contracted to buy both diesel engines and complete green-painted compact tractors from Yanmar, which delivered some 100,000 of them.

Yanmar also contracted ('06 to '11) with MTD on a Cub Cadet deal but I don't know of any of the three taking over each other -- though admittedly these firms don't tell me everything they're up to. ....

You are 100% sure the differential lock is released, right? ....

Better dig deeper because yarmar did buy John Deere and i owned a 1050 John Deere and yarmar was all over the engine,tranny,and rear end.
The big tractor still may be made by Deere but the same ones are yarmar,with green color and a yellow seat ....

It sounds like something is stuck in a gear. I have several YM240 parts tractors, plus new parts may also be available. I'm an authorized Yanmar dealer. Let me know what you need. ....

No need to to dig deep at all. Deere & Company is a publicly traded company, it is traded under the symbol "DE" on the New York Stock Exchange. It has a little over 389 million shares out there.

Yanmar did not buy them. Deere bought them, or at least their tractors.


Best of luck.

Greg is correct on this one.

As memory serves me..........and please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Kubota was the first company to offer compact tractors on a large scale here in the U.S. In order to compete with Kubota for a share of the market, John Deere and other tractor manufacturers looked for similar companies that offered competing models.

John Deere teamed up with Yanmar to offer compact tractors that would be sold under the John Deere brand, in an effort to reclaim some of Kubota's market share.

Recently Yanmar and Cub Cadet teamed up to offer new Yanmar models that would be sold under the Cub Cadet brand name.

Kioti tractors are now being sold under the Bobcat brand name.......but this is a different story completely, as Bobcat was actually purchased by the South Korean Company, Doosan........makers of the Kioti line.

New Holland tractors are manufactured by a European joint venture project.

Ford tractors were produced by Mitsubishi.

Hope I have that right..????

Joel ....

Joel, a couple of minor corrections, as far I know anyways.

First, Yanmar did as you said, but 2 years ago took over the "Cub Cadet" brand as fa as compact tractors, they are sold directly by Yanmar USA now.

Second, Bobcat (owned now by Doosan) buys rebadged Kioti's and sells them as "Bobcat" CUT's, just as Yanmar did with JD.

Finally, New Holland is owned by Fiat Industrial, it's one of their divisions that now makes the NH compacts.


Best of luck. ....

Murf,

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought that the New Holland line was a European Union job, but it's Fiat.

I do have a question though..........since Yanmar is now associated with Cub Cadet, which company is now producing the "Series 1" subcompacts for John Deere? Anybody know?

Joel ....

Yanmar is not associated with Cub Cadet any more. Yanmar is marketing under their own name. ....

Finally tore into my YM240d. Yikes...tore a big chunk of teeth out of the RH Funal Drive Gear and totally removed all teeth on the gear just forward of that one, I believe to be the stub shaft for the brakes if I am looking at my manual corectly. Too Bad, this Tractor runs very good and it will probably end up costing more to replace the rear axle than to go ahead and try to locate another small tractor with a loader, Hope not everything on this thing works like new. If anyone has any input on where I should try and price parts out please let me know. I've been on the net looking and what few prices and parts I find available put me into cardiac arrest, lol. I won't even talk about JD 550 part prices..WOW!! I posted a compiled photo in my albums. Don't look if you have a weak stomach. ....

I guess it is just my computer but when I go to your pictures the only one I can enlarge is the "great pumpkin".

Probably checked with them but Hoye shows they got in a 240 parts tractor back in November. ....
