ANYONE gotta YM1700????

[LMTC]

I am going to try and post a picture of the YM1700 for $1995.00. has a little rust on front grill. The owner of company (Arch's Tractors on the Creek) in Fairview, N.C. says it is a trade in for a bigger tractor. It is one of the remanufactured ones he sold earlier. Says everything works good. Will stand behind it,, I wonder if he means while it is running there on the lot???? so here goes with the picture....
I DONE IT!!!!! DANG!!!!

If he has a track record of standing behind things then he'll certainly be able to give you numerous references you can check out from previous customers.

From his website "There are reconditioning factories where tractors are disassembled and checked out"
And WHERE would these reconditioning factories be located? Per one well known information source "A factory (previously manufactory) or manufacturing plant is an industrial building where workers manufacture goods or supervise machines processing one product into another." I don't think those tractors have been through a reconditioning "factory". I never have understood how they can claim to bring a tractor to 95% of original specifications. How does one measure that?

I'm not going to comment on the remanufactured part, but the YM1700/2000 has to be the best 2WD model out there in my opinion. I had a YM1700 for a few years and wished I had it back sometimes. Parts are very easy to get, even though they may be aftermarket. And they're simple to work on.

How many hours are on the meter? I would assume that it was zeroed when sold originally if it was a recon. If he sold it and took it back on trade then he should have the contact info for the previous owner. If he won't allow you to contact him then you should walk. What kinda warranty is he offering? The previous owner may give you a heads up on something that the dealer does not know....

I see a couple of you have installed a water pump on your YM1700. If you don't mind me asking where did you purchase your water pump kits?
Did the water pump kits come with everything you need to install?
I plan to use my 5 ft. rototiller on my YM1700 and I am worried that it will run hot without the pump.

I purchased mine from Fredricks. It came with everything needed.

I got mine form Danny Parker at Parker Equipment Co ( peq.com). Kit came with everything that you need including detailed instructions.

Arch does sell VN reconditioned tractors, but this one does not appear to be one to me. The paint and decals don't look like any I've ever known them to use. What are the hours on it?
