I know a fellow like that, no three or four. They borrow for free, never return it so I have to go pick it up. I had one guy who borrowed so he could do custom work, taking my customers, then when it needed parts I was to pay for them. It all came to a sudden stop when I found out and stopped it...

Yamar has been making tractors for years. We had one 45+ years ago. John Deere has used Yanmar engines in their compact tractors for years and due to an agreement between the two companies Yanmar quit exporting to the US. Apparently the agreement has expired as Yanmar is now exporting to the US...

Your current vertical lift arms are fixed with an adjustment on one or both. This keeps things on an even keel side to side. A single action cylinder will destroy that ability. For example you want a rear blade to cut deeper on one side in relation to the other.

How many hours on the tractors?

My ‘93 Ford would overheat and very frustrating. It would blow coolant out the overflow tube on top of radiator. Pulled the radiator to get cleaned internally but when they started cleaning it sprung a leak and I was told, “not worth messing with.” Passages were half plugged and passages rotted...

I have been using Meg-Mo blades on my 60 inch finish mower. I prefer them over standard mower blades.

My 1320 will also run in reverse for maybe 30 seconds.
