You could run a pump off the front PTO driven by a belt (like the factory mower/snow blower system) for a hydo pump. That's what I plan to do when i build a loader for one of my 146's. That way you could still activate the pump only when you wanted to through the factory PTO clutch switch. The facto...

They are called ROPS. Roll Over Protection System. Check with Hoye.

Most of my YM146's (I have 3 that run and one parts machine) all start like that as well. I'm putting new batteries in two of them this spring. All the YM146's and GT14's have glow plugs.

Why in the world would you need one of those?

They're all big fans of Christmas colors....


Companies change engine/frame/etc colors all the time. Pontiac did it on their engine colors, ect. It happens for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes its a discount on paint, sometimes the new GM/CEO wants to put his stamp on something.

Turbos should be lubricated by the engine oil..
