Need to excess

[Hibound]

Hi all. I acquired an old grey market Yanmar YM-1510D to help me level my backyard a few years ago. The work is done and now it's in the way. If you can come to Apple Valley, CA with a trailer and get it, you can have it. Yes, it runs. The battery is dead now and I'm not sure about the front wheel drive, but the engine runs great I did plenty on it so it could help me with the yard. Original, but faded paint and no dents.

No only am I done with the large project I got it for, my plans include retiring to Hawaii in a couple of years and I really need to get this out of the garage. I can provide pictures of the tractor if you provide pictures of your truck and trailer!

if its not too late already - put it on Craigslist for $2,000 and it will be gone in a day.

Not sure about out West, but in the East, we have several non-profit community farms. Maybe contact them and donate it. They could always sell it for cash if they don't need the equipment.


Just a thought.....

Mad I'd be there in a heartbeat.....it would be tough to come across the country to get a free tractor with $5 a gallon gas! Haha

He's out in the way-deep fringe of the Los Angeles region so he has some 20 million people within a hundred(?) mile radius. It would go quick.

Hibound, what has happened so far?

Thanks for the responses all. No one has contacted me directly and it still sets in my 2d garage. I just looked at Craigslist and there is a little action going on in my area. My wife is very cautious about CL and the biggest risk is that the "buyer" would have to come to my house to pick it up. I've got a couple of years to get rid of it and know that the economy is not in the best shape right now. My priority is more on getting it out than getting something for it, but I would prefer that it go to someone handy who appreciates the old Yanmars.

That would be perfect! Probably they would use it for a fundraiser and get top dollar for it, to use for their antique restorations.

Check the major charitable organizations in your area. Around me, they are always advertising for people to donate cars, boats, etc and get a tax deduction.

Pop up one level to the main page, they even have a classified section to list the machine too.

Awesome! Make sure you post some pics! Be safe!

To all in this highly supportive and wonderful community. Runningbird helped me by coming with his appropriated powered truck and an appropriately sturdy trailer today. He now has it and can verify that even though I was giving it to good owner like him in "as is" condition, it runs well and I'd done a bit to keep it maintained. Thanks to everyone who got the word out and particularly to Runningbird who helped me get a few things out of my garage.

Apple Valley is about an hour away from me, but I just don’t need another project right now.

We have the manuals at the Yanmar Tractors Owners Group if you need 'em for free.

Made it home. 1000 mile round trip. Well worth it! Tom maintained this little tractor excellent. I could put it to use has is, with no worries. I'll check it out in a few days and post some pictures.
It was one of those deals where it would have been worth the drive just to meet a nice honest fella and have a beer.

More to come, probably in October after my archery season

a couple pictures. having a hard time getting the photos from my computer to this site.

I did order most of the parts I'll need to get started. simple stuff. front knuckles and rear lift arms.

That's a nice clean little tractor. Worth the trip and as you said you got to meet a nice gentleman.

I spy with my eye a front Kubota rim. Hey it works! Most farm stores sell the exhaust flapper, so the old school tin can would be replaced.

It is a really nice machine. Even for the age, it's in way better shape than most from the 70s and 80s in our year.

How does the size of this machine compare to the YM1110D you have. I've only seen a YM1500 in person and nothing else smaller.

Could you park them side-by-side for a pix.
