Oh nice! I remember seeing him post it on one of the other forums but couldn't find it again. Bing offered up this PDF but, for some reason, I could not find where it was coming from. The source was just "bing.com".
If you need anything, either the YTOG has it or just ask.
I have a bunch of the rotary tiller manuals. However, they are in 'as-is' condition, it would take too many hours to clean them up.
Back in 2017 I stumbled across a website found via the Yahoo.jp search engine. This search gave over 250 Yanmar manuals alone. Also found were manuals for all of these brands . . .
This was the image on their home page.
The site was an abandon Zen-Noh service repair website. All of these manuals were there.
There are also weird manuals of hand written repairs, tools, and part numbers.
The site per GoDaddy expired on November 2019 and disappeared. YET, with the WayBackMachine, a person can still access some of it.
I believe for many years, the manuals were available on-line for anyone in Japan to access or anyone else globally.
Most of the Yanmar manuals were categorized as NPC-XXXX, not by machine model.
To access them, you would type in the search field, NPC-1390 and one like this would pop up for download.
We didn't know any of the NPC numbers, so doing a search for NPC-0001 thru NPC-9999, doing a few every night for weeks on end made these discoveries. Kubota was by the first letter and tractor/machine number.
In the USA, down in the Carolina's and northern Georgia, there are people growing RICE. I never knew finding all of those Yanmar Rice Transplanter manuals would ever come in handy, yet it did!
