First Oil Change on Yamaha YS928J
Original Message   Jan 24, 2011 9:19 pm
     

I was asked to post pictures of the first oil change, so here they are:

Oil was a bit dirty, after about 7 hours use, did get a full liter out, so doesn't appear to use any, at this point.

I did not have to take all the covers off, only did to see/show what is under the hood

There are Rubber engine mounts to reduce vibration. Also rubber and foam seals, which kept the inside very clean, and reduce noise. My neighbour can not believe how quite it is.

Oil Drain and Fill Side:

Carb and Muffler Side:

Front Shot:

Just to Remember what it looks like together:

It was nice to see what was under the hood, the workmanship is Outstanding.

I ops manual gives all the Torque settings, for all the Bolts, including cover bolts, so I was able to install everything back to to specs.

I am very impressed with the attention to detail that went into building this unit.

The huge cover makes more sense after seeing heat sink, wires and connections in there. 

The engine mount rubber supports a plate and I can see only one of what i think is an engine mount bolt.  How is the engine held up?  Are there 4 rubber mounts?  Is the engine only supported by the mounts or does the engine base touch the tractor base at all?

I have it back together, but from what I seen yesterday there are at least 4 mounts, the engine is supported by the plates and rubber mounts, I can not say 100% that it does not touch the tractor base, but I think it does not. I will look closer next time!

Under the trator base is the pump and drive system for the Hydro Drive, did not take that area apart, will inpect during storage shutdown!

You Cant't!!  Rubinew is probably too embarrased to admit it, but he bought the LAST ONE!
