I don't know which model, the guy selling it was no help, and there is nothing on the tiller itself that identifies it. I thought that since it was an old Yamar tiller, and my tractor is an old Yanmar tractor, it would hook up and work right off the bat. Even though I'm wrong about that I'm sure I can make it work. I have looked online trying to identify the model without any luck so far. Any help in that regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
Oh, you'll spend hours of you life trying to find what tiller model it really is.
From what I understand, the first 2 or 3 alpha digits are the tiller model family.
Next typically is a 3 or 4 digit numeric. And finally, on 'some' units, there is a final alpha character.
Like the YM series models, the 3 digit numeric were mainly for export and the 4 digit numerics were Asian use only. However, that changed years later.
Now, the 4 digit numeric ending in -00 as in 1400, were the base model. Other models also ended in -01, -02, -03, -04, -05. This from my understanding dealt with how the base model tiller interfaced the 3PT or a 2PT attachment to the tractor. As Caryo63 showed the short shaft, that would fall under one of the last 2 digits of the numeric.
With all that stated, you can now understand that the combinations can run into several dozen unique tillers just for 1 model type. It's exhausting to pick thru when looking at all the Tiller Parts Manuals, yet alone internet image searches.
What you can do, possibly create a new thread titled, Help identify this Yanmar tiller. Post as many pixs as you can. Describe what pieces 'could' be missing. From there the the small community here an help you and also post on the Yanmar Tractor Owners Group with a much larger Yanmar vintage community. You would be tapping into members of both sides with Yanmar tillers already to note the tiller features and hone in to the exact model. Other than owners of these tillers, Tractor Ernie is the only other possible solution.
