G'day folks,
I'm hoping that you may be able to assist me in determining the identity of my Yanmar. It was sold as a 135D and looks identical to other 135Ds I've seen online, particularly the 'kermit' green paint, but recently when giving it a thorough clean I noticed that the manufacturer's plate on the chassis (next to the diff lock controls on the right hand side) that it's clearly stamped 1300D and also has 880 on the plate. As it's a grey import the rest is in Japanese. The 880 reference would almost have to be the weight in pounds, but what I'm not sure of is whether the 1300D marking is accurate? I ask only as I'm unsure whether Yanmar used the same chassis for both models with markings to match but engines differing or do I in fact have a 1300D tractor?
I realise that it may have been painted considering it's an old tractor, but shouldn't a 1300 be red?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris
