Yanmar 2TNV70 3TNV70 3TNV76 (TNV Engines)

Knowledge base for the Yanmar TNV IDI diesel engines: 2TNV70, 3TNV70 and 3TNV76 (Komatsu 2D70E, 3D70E and 3D76E). These water-cooled swirl chamber engines share one family, but differ substantially: the 2TNV70 is a 2-cylinder (0.570 L), the 3TNV70 a 3-cylinder (0.854 L) — both with a 70 mm bore — and the 3TNV76 a 3-cylinder with a 76 mm bore (1.115 L). As a result, parts for the lower block and cylinder head are not interchangeable between the 70 and 76 variants. You’ll find these engines in, among others, John Deere, Takeuchi, Komatsu, Wacker Neuson and Goldoni machines. Here you’ll find, per topic, purchasing advice, specifications and torque values, maintenance schedules, oil and filter info, overhaul, cooling, fuel system and troubleshooting — plus matching parts from Shop4trac.
