3-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine (1435 and 1445)

The 1400 Series II Front Mowers are powered by liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder Yanmar engines. The 1420 Series II Front Mower is powered by the 3TG 3-cylinder Yanmar liquid-cooled gas engine. Yanmar 3-cylinder TNV Series diesel engines feature a high torque reserve that provides plenty of power. The 1435 and 1445 mowers meet EPA interim tier IV emission standards.

Key features of the engine include:
  • Economical cast-in block cylinder design for good cooling and long life
  • Indirect fuel injection (model 1435)
  • Direct fuel injection (model 1445)
    • Injects fuel directly on top of pistons for more efficient combustion
    • Delivers more horsepower per gallon of fuel
    • Improves starting
  • Develops more horsepower per gallon of fuel; improves starting
  • Aluminum alloy pistons with built-in steel struts are lightweight to reduce connection rod bearing loads and provide good heat transfer characteristics
  • Design permits tighter tolerances and neutralizes expansion of the piston, thereby reducing blow-by gas and noise from the piston slap
  • Higher top rings on the piston and a thinner head gasket greatly reduce the volume of unburned waste gases and increase combustion efficiency
  • Timing gears and injector drive gears utilize helical profile gears to help lower engine noise; gear teeth have a newly designed ''roll-off'' profile, giving almost no clash, no noise, and no backlash
  • Fuel filter with replaceable element
  • Full-pressure intake manifold provides quick starts in temperatures down to 0°F. (Optional engine coolant heater attachment will assist starting under more extreme conditions.)
  • Auto-bleed fuel system; there's no need to prime the system if the tractor runs out of fuel; the system will self-prime the injection pump, lines and injectors, providing fast fuel recovery
  • Key start and shutoff eliminates fuel shut-off knob
  • Electric solenoid shuts fuel supply off immediately when key is turned off
  • See-through coolant recovery tank permits operator to check coolant level without removing radiator cap
  • Enclosed engine compartment keeps out debris and lowers sound levels
  • Sealed radiator compartment keeps trash and debris on outside of hood
  • Excellent torque for plenty of lugging power when operating in tough mowing conditions
  • Full-pressure lubrication for positive lubrication, even when operating on slopes
  • Dual-element, dry-type, replaceable air cleaner; completely sealed for effective cleaning
  • 90 percent to 95 percent of dirt is ejected before it reaches the paper element
  • Secondary safety element provides additional filtering
  • Progressive-type air restriction indicator to let operator know when the filter needs servicing
  • Automotive-type alternator (55 amp) provides plenty of charge to the battery
  • Automatic initiation of air heater for easier cold-weather starting; automatic initiation of glow plugs (model 1435) and air heater (model 1445) for easier cold-weather starting
  • Automotive-sensing system tells operator when engine is ready to start
Rear-mounted radiator

Rear-mounted radiator

  • Rear-mounted radiator keeps noise away from operator and is easy to service
  • Isolated engine mounting reduces engine vibration at operator's station for more comfortable operation
  • Designed to meet all necessary EPA emission standards
    • Overhead valve (OHV) for efficient combustion
    • Liquid-cooled for more consistent operating temperatures
Standard flip-out oil cooler
