This was purchased in Arizona around 1999 or 2000. Came to Colorado around 2000-2001. Tractor is in very good shape, just definitely not a "restored" paint job. Red underneath chips so it was just a "spray over" too bad. Not sure how I can knock green off and get back to factory. Will probably have to sand/respray.

My YM240 is the one from Illinois. I like the paint, it was part of what attracted me to it, that and the fact that it's a early model, it's always been stored inside, it's as clean as can be, no leaks, every single thing on it works just like it's supposed to, and the price was a steal, all things that are way more important than paint color. It was painted by the original owner, I bought it from the 2nd owner. I don't think he realized what he had, he said his brother was really into tractors and helped him find this one 5 years ago. Thanks for all the helpful and informative posts, I'm really glad I found this group and thanks to the members who regularly take a shot at helping with a problem, you now who you are. peace!

He sold it as a Yanmar, his brother knew it was one, he'd told him what a good tractor they were. The seller only lived a few miles down the road, he's a paramedic on a helicopter transport and real **** about taking care of his stuff, he has about the same acreage as I do but it's not suited to cut with a tractor so he bought a zero turn.
..and yeah, sorry OP for the hijack! : )
