I officially have a problem...

And I also have almost every implement available for these things! :thumbsup:


Picking it up Sunday, it's now former owner was a Yanmar dealer and this "was his baby" and is barely used, as evidenced by the pics. I promised the wife I'd put one of the others up for sale, so in the spring my YCM 60 deck and the 48 too will most likely be sold along with one of my current YM's.

You should be ashamed of yourself! :D

Nice find and there is the automotive rear end I mentioned in another thread on tillers. :thumbsup:

I always thought the same thing, that that was an auto rear on top of the tiller, but I'm not sure which auto they would use that's that small. It's got the shape of a ford 9" or a Dana 60, but it's way too small to be one of those.

Would have to be something available in the early 80's in Japan, I would imagine. Maybe a Datsun?

It looks kind of similar to a Samurai housing, with the drop out third member, but I don't think it's one of those. I wonder if it is out of the little mini-trucks or something.

That sure is a pristine unit all around. Great find!

Thanks fellas...

Its only the third tiller I've seen in pictures. I've only seen one other in person. Evidently there was one for sale in Maine a while back with a tiller that I missed.

It's a four hour drive each way to get this one, but it's too nice and the price is too good to pass up. There goes another Sunday!

Pressure to sell your other one might be off by spring as your wife might just forget you said that..... fat chance right! Enjoy the new toy.
