YM2210

Darrell	The oil pressure light on my 2210 comes on after about 30 minutes of operation.I changed the oil and oil filter. It didn't help.It is a grey market refurb. Am I in trouble?
Mark	Maybe.... How did the oil look before the oil change? Was it thinned out from fuel or hydraulic oil? How about the exhaust (smoke), does it smoke under load? Is the color dark gray or blue/black in color? Other than the typical diesel 'kock' do you hear any unusuall noises from the engines bottom end? What really needs to be checked, and is probably the problem with your Yanmar, is the crankshaft, rod and main bearing surfaces and the amount of wear. It's too late to head the advise about buying a reconditioned or 'Factory Rebuilt' tractor...but it's not too late to save the tractor by planning on a full overhaul. IF the rest of the tractor is sound and without any mechanical problems, then addressing the engine repairs may be all that's needed to have a durable and dependable Yanmar for decades to come. Good luck!
Norm	Replace the sending switch before you get all crazy.
Al	In order from most likely: -a bum sender, out-of-spec pressure (which is adjustable), -trouble. I'd install a pressure gauge, which you can get anywhere.
wayne	The sending unit is cheap enough to change out, but in all our years I don't recall a sending unit failing so that it would come on after a time period each time the tractor is run. When they fail, they tend to fail and stay on. If it is indicating low oil pressure each second you run it with low oil pressure increases the chances of substantial damage. Once you have gotten a warning, find the cause.
Danny	Are you sure it's not your Temp. light? Danny
Rick	Darrell, I just had this problem on my 2210D. The first thing I did was to remove the wire from the sending unit/pressure switch to ohm out the wiring, and I noticed oil came out. There should no be oil on the wire side of the oil switch as it is a diaphram switch. I put the wire back on and the light stayed out for 40 to 50 minutes than came back on. I checked the oil pressure with a guage and it stayed at 35 psi for over 2 hours, so I installed a new switch and all has been well. I too have never seen a switch do this before. Good luck
