MITSUBISHI MT372 questions

[YM-135trac]

Guy down the road got one for sale. Before I enquire about it I have a couple questions. From the factory:1- Does the PTO run backwards? 2-did it come w/Cat-0-or Cat-1 3PH? I've found most all the other info on web,but conflict info on these 2 questions,set-me straight.

My 372 is a built for U.S. market. The pto runs in the correct direction. I belive the Grey market version of the 372 is a Beaver, I could be wrong though.

I use nothing but cat 1 implements on my 372. It still could be a cat 0 though.

Is it 2wd or 4wd?

My MT372D is standard PTO and catagory 1 3-point.
Parts can be pricey but I have needed little for mine in almost 10 years of ownership.

If the price is right you better get it. These are great little tractors. As the other guys stated it does have a CW standard rotation on the PTO and it is a 3 speed. It also has a Cat I lift and that is all that I use on mine also. Plow, cultivator, disc etc. Here is a pic of mine just after repainting it a few months ago.

Thanks,

It's 2wd, 900hrs.good s/metal/paint,no leaks,runs good/good rubber. About?what's It worth?

 

[BTackett]

Not really sure, probably between $1500-2000 or so. I may be wrong but thats what I would pay for one in that shape.

BTackett, WOW, nice paint job. Looks to be in the pro catagory for sure. My paint job looks crappy in about 2yrs.(paint quality I guess) I have never found source( 2 or 3 spray cans should do it) for true paint color for my lime green ym135 and it needs a paint job. I just clean prime rust spots for now(don't want to put a 2yr. paint job on it.) auto paint store quanity too much(waste) & expensive. any paint source suggestions?

if my tractor looked like that i would want about 5000 for it.the paint job alone is probably worth 1000 if not more.nice looking tractor.you took good care with the painting.

Thanks for the nice comments. I have about $700 in materials alone for the paint, cleaner, sand paper, etc and a BUNCH of time. I really don't have any suggestions on the Yanmar green except getting the paint code from a dealer and finding a place online that can mix the paint and put it in a spray can. They do that now days and it cost about $12 a can. You shouldn't need more than 6-8 cans to do a 135 with. Here is a before picture so you can see what I was dealing with and then after. I found a cleaner at Auto Zone called Super degreaser in a purple bottle that worked wonders for diesel fuel stains.

Thanks,
Bill

The only thing I need lime green paint for is 2fenders 1 hood 4wheels. Your blue=black on my yanny. I got the gloss black under control. I only plan to wet sand the above componets and shoot. Getting a descent pigment content is my concern? would't 3cans get your white done(of course not pro results like yours)? It's hard to say w/out pic, I know. I cleaned up, rust converted(I'm a beleiver in that stuf, let cure/out/of/rain-2wks/then prime-1wk/paint, i've had good results) the bad spots and primed, rust stopped ,prime holding good.

Purple stuff did a number on your bell housing/steer-box,good tip,thanks.
