For it's age, it's looking GREAT. It's a steal of a price too. Any Yanmar person should jump on this soon.

The paint color is right. But I question if Yanmar ever sold that model.

I have a continuous Ebay search going for 'Yanmar backhoe', hoping to find the little one made for my YM186D. I have seen photos of the manuals, for I think all of the backhoes made for Yanmars back in the YM era.

I've never seen one with all those separate control levers.

Some pix, in a thread about the various YM Yanmar backhoes.

Backhoes for Yanmar

Just wanted to start a thread with info I have collected to make sure its accurate and see if we can add to it. Seems someone (including me) is always looking for a BH for their Yanmar. I have the following models that have worked on the various Yanmars. Please chime if the info is incomplete...

You are forgetting one important thing here. The listing only says Yanmar backhoe, not that it's one for a YM machine. Recall Yanmar did make industrial tractors for the USA market after they pulled up root for selling Ag tractors. The CBL40 is one of them.

So, what we see here is one of the CBL era backhoes.

If we look at the Yanmar backhoe for the F & FX series it would look like the OPs posting, but in red color,

Ok I'm half-convinced. Maybe a YBH-800?

Not certain myself on any of them just yet.

Still a good item to snag regardless.

Its only 3 hours away but she'll have a fit and it's to big to quietly fit into the collection.

Big is good, if you live in Texas.

This wasn't necessarily Yanmar green originally. The hoses got painted green along with the part for the 3-point

I just remembered who built for OEM Yanmar, Kubota, Deere etc back in the day: ARPS. Then looking at photos on Google, this looks like an early ARPS 728.

On Yesterday's Tractor there were several people looking for various ARPS manuals. No replies. That was in 2001.

Yet, I wonder if Bradco also supplied Yanmar,

Your ARPS 728 manual is a close match to that green hoe. Mystery solved!

Its 1200 lbs with bucket. Plus whatever is in the bucket. So it's going to take a healthy tractor to lift that much weight, that far out.

I found a web based script to use search engines in finding explicit documents. Wish I knew enough programing to alter it better, but its amazing on what it does find via meta data caches. When a hit is found, a nice listing appears. I can then click on the listing link and the PDF opens right up.
It use to also search Google Drive with shared or public posted docs. Google turned it off. There are so many Yanmar manuals out there we've never seen before.

Glad to of used the script to find the ARPS. It's not all of them by any means.

Sounds like a useful script. Can you share the script, or where you found it. Thanks

Good to know it's to much for my machine.
