Howdy,
I'm in your area...before you go gray market, try the Community Paper or another source...www.machinefinder.com, perhaps.
Gray market...if you can do your own work and are willing to wait for parts...even then, it's a risk.
What kind of money are you looking at spending?

I am so tired of people implying completely erroneous things and making generalizations like this. I can drop ship, within 2 business days, 90%+ of the working parts on any of the Yanmar models we sell. Many OEM dealers have to do the same thing on many of their parts....they don't stock everything.
Do your own work? Why won't a repair shop work on these tractors? I have never heard of a general tractor or machinery repair business refusing to work on a tractor because it was gray market. Maybe they need help getting parts, but that's where a good dealer comes in.
So how is it any more of a risk than any other used tractor?

I've never had any problems in 13 years of ownership in purchasing filters for my Yanmar. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Don't know about parts. Never needed any. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
