... And there's the even rarer YanBota. 
The previous owner of my YM240 apparently found Kubota take-off rims with tires when replacement was needed. They are a size larger than original but they bolted right up to the Yanmar discs.
The 3-point backhoe is authentic OEM Yammar but the wrong color. In 1980 this was available from Yanmar and also from Kubota dealers, painted in their respective colors.

Very close enough to be called one. Yellow rims would have mad it one hands down.
Nice paint job compared to some of the others.
Is the one in the background a Yan-Ford? I really can't tell as it too has a loader. Could be an LS or Iseki.

I'm curious who painted it green. As I noted somewhere there was an importer in the NW who did that to all his imports. As I recall he claimed he bought only retired low-hour tractors in Japan, like Ernie.

Eye spy with my eye a . . . YanDeere
YM1300
And it has the Deere yellow seat too! This is nicely done too. The owner kept the Yanmar Diesel and didn't FAKE it as a John Deere model number. nice. Wish there were more pixs. Would have loved to see the front grill area in JD green.

I spy a John Deere 4400 . . . Wait . . a, um, er, a Yanmar US32
Darn, these are getting harder to tell apart. Both with the Yanmar 3TNE88 and Yanmar 4WD
The Yanmar again in JD Green+Yellow = YanDeere
