My opinion was that their biz was not going like they wanted or they saw an opportunity. THEY WERE DOING NOTHING ILLEGAL, you can buy and rebuild what you want and then resell it for a profit. if your doing good and profiting in ur current biz model, why change it? Like i said maybe they see an opportunity to go another direction? THIS does not make any sense thouugh. Hoye is listed, they sell only parts? to get out of lawsuit do they now have to become a yanmar dealer and sell yanmar tractors new as well as parts? if they do this it would alienate their customer base! Sorry for the random caps im on an unsmart cell phone, changing things is not as easy as PC.
