Yanmar sticker on the FEL.
Couldn’t see sticker on the hood.
She said it was bought at cub cadet dealer and has cub cadet plaque on frame.
I think Yanmar made theses for cub cadet.

Thanks for the specs.
Anyone with experience with one?
Also what about the 11,000 price?

Jeffy should have provided serial # info. Suggest obtaining the # so you can determine when it was built. Hours seen low, was it stored inside? Any checking or fatigue cracking on tire sidewalls? Does the hour meter function? How do the fluids look? Any maintenance records. Are tires loaded? They still used calcium in tires frequently then, There would be deterioration around valve stem, perimeter of exposed rim. If original coolant and hydro fluid is still in tractor that could be an issue?

Not an expert on used yanmar/cub cadat, but dependent upon age determined by serial # , $8000 would be fair. They are an orphan tractor but yanmar would likely market parts. Compare these specs to yanmar, same vintage, is it a rebadged model? MTD dealer may know if a warranty claim was ever submitted?

Fluids breakdown over time, if it is a 2008, coolant becomes corrosive. Hydro fluid reservoir absorbs moisture.
