"BIG" Yanmar

[winston1]

This came up on the Craigs list in our area. I don't see many this size. Just thought it interesting. Tractor Yanmar YM7000DT, Turbo,4x4, front loader, cab and air

Wow looks to be in great shape too and the price is very good for that hp the obvious questions come to mind.

 

[Kernopelli]

That is a great deal....don't know about parts availability but a great price nonetheless. The reverse lookup on phone number does go back to a good current number in Tyler so it doesn't look like a CL scam. When you see current prices on a lot of 336D's etc,this is a steal. Only thing is, it kinda looks like a Bulldog FEL logo.....VN tractor?

 

[winston1]

Definitely vn, I imagine it came from LCI just because of the Bulldog loader. They have gone under.

May be a coincidence but we have had a few calls for the same part on a YM7000. We don't even have a parts book for it though. I can't remember ever getting a call on one before that. May be the same tractor?

What part......if it's OK to ask? If you aren't comfortable saying, that's OK.

Wow, that thing is huge! Browsing the web, the biggest one I have seen is a AF1110. :thumbsup:

i didnt think the YM series went that big, the 4300 i thought was as far as it went. clearly not.

Hey guys, it is big, runs great. Needs an ideler pully for AC. It's my tractor. Bought in a bundle of stuff so priced reasonable. NO problems. Does need 2 front tires (cracked). Will take a trade too. Thanks. Jim

Welcome, texbiz77! Any chance you could shoot a bunch of pictures for us, and give a rundown on specifications, features, and so on?

 

[winston1]

Welcome aboard Texbiz77. We are neighbors. I live at West Mountain in the Gilmer area. I notice you are a tractor dealer. Mind sharing the name of your business. I don't think it would be considered advertising.

 

[texbiz77]

Yes, Teexbiz.us 18714 Hwy 69 N. Lindale........next to Select Powersport

 

[Car Doc]

Winston, jmho but if I was close by him I would go look at it right now. I wish it was closer to me even to use it awhile and resell it later the price is very attractive.

I guarantee I could come up with an idler for the a/c belt somehow someway even if I built one!!!

I could almost find room for another tractor so I could have one at the shop and one at the house. :laughing: (I'm dreaming of course)

 

[winston1]

I hear what you are saying. It is way to big for my use. I agree an idler pulley wouldn't be a deal breaker. Next time I get by that way I am going to stop and look at it if it is still there. A little concerned though about Aaron's comment of not even having a parts book. Truth is I get really nervous about a $10000 investment. Price of this starter makes me nervous too! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Starter-Yan...3-41B-/270517069389?item=270517069389&vxp=mtr

 

[careyo63]

Ouch!! After seeing the price of a Starter forget even looking at it. I'm just guessing how many zero's are behind some other parts. Hyd. valve,Hyd pump Etc. No wonder Aaron doesn't have a parts manuel probly cost to much to print it. :laughing: Just jokin.

AHHH it's still a good deal. You can spend a lot for about any part...or usually a little less if you shop around. Rare Electrical is where I buy all my starters and they sell the same starter for $239. They can match almost any starter. Don't ever buy from their(Rare Electrical"s) Ebay store either, you can always get what ever it is at least $50 cheaper by calling them direct. For some reason, I've never paid their "advertised" price on anything, it's always less if I call them and place the order. http://www.rareelectrical.com/default.aspx

 

[careyo63]

Whats up Darryl. Just kidding I was refering to the price of the starter and guesing if that was gold plating on it. Lol. If that Tractor was in my neck of the woods I would have to have a looksee at it. Just the FEL. and Cab is worth every bit of 3,500$ add for 4wd Ac. and it's a fair asking price. I'm with Winston though. Thats alot of Tractor and way more for my needs.

 

[Neat 1500]

well there you go, it even says a YM5,6 and 7000. here i come google.......

That is an amazing price difference. Do you suppose the quality of the two starters is the same? That is a total of $361 difference.

 

[Car Doc]

Well as far as the expensive starter they are pricey because they are the best gear reduction starters made as far as I am concerned Nippondenso that is.

But its the same manufacturer as Toyota uses and the copper contacts in the solenoid are all I ever replace I keep 20-30 in stock at all times the motor or drive hardly ever gives trouble. fwtw

I have ran into starters they dont fit but the chance a guy could make one work again for a few bucks is real.
