Bought a Yamaha Terrapro

[2458n]

I remember when they were on the market. Went with the black and gold 1100 midnight special instead. The unit that I looked at a hyd. chainsaw attachment.

They made a hydraulic attachment to tow behind the Terrapro. Where one could use a post hole digger or whatever. I've only seen pictures of it.I saw one recently for sale for around $600

Starting to put some finishing touches on my Terrapro. I was working on the front brakes and the union cable snapped. So now I'm waiting for that cable to arrive before finishing puting the front end back together. I put some of the decals on and it's starting to look snazzy.

It looks good.

My neighbor had a mower for his. I remember he put a new belt on it every year. He said it made a bunch of sharp bends and if he did not replace it would snap or throw it, I can't remember. It is something you may want to watch out for. We also have better belts than what we had when the Terrapo was new so it may not be a issue now.

Did you know Yamaha also made lawn mowers? I have a customer that has one.

Roger, I just bought a new belt for the FM48 finish mower and will install it when I get thru going thru it and put new paint on it. I still have to find someone to make me some decals for it. The belt has to twist 3/4 turn at one point the twist another direction. It's unique that it drives all three blades with just on 124" belt. If not install correctly I've been told the belt won't last long at all. Yes I did see that Yamaha made lawn equipment when doing Googles for parts. Most of the parts for this bad boy are obsolete and at the mercy of salvage yards. I have discovered some of the cableing is the same at the Moto 4 and Big Bear which helps.

Looks to me like the ones on it are new and there are more new decals setting on the seat in a bag. :confused3:

The ones in the bag are yet to be put on the left side. There are quite a few decals that goes on it.

What did they end up costing? Our "friend" hasn't called back and I may end up having to restore mine to get what I need back out of it, got too much $$ in it apparently.

The decals where $79 for the set. He cuts them apart and mails them in a smaller envelope. I got the rest of them on today as well as the grill and front bumper. It's pretty much done except for fine tuning a few levers where I replaced cables. Looks like I got to do a bit more work on the carb. It's missing a bit. Next is the mower tear down.
