Yes Carey notes one major sources in the south for Yanmars. They do not have any 1510s in inventory. They do have some 1610Ds if you can use a physically larger tractor.

Do 30 year old tractors have titles?

The VN hack-shop shortened the shiftlever after they put on the only steering link they had in the junkpile out back. That right there took it outside the world of Yanmar and made the tractor junk.
And if the steering link wore out, then this tractor has enough hours (or lack of maintenance) to need an engine overhaul. Can you afford it?
What's wrong with this picture overall?? That's not really a Yanmar any more, it's a Frankenstein-mar built out of mismatched parts! It won't even steer properly, which is pretty basic. I can just imagine what else you will discover when you try to do some work with it.
And I can't imagine what you will discover when you look under the hood. Probably parts from several brands! Do you have the expertise to identify where all those parts came from?
He could only sell that to a newbie who doesn't know how to compare it to an intact Yanmar.
The five hour drive adds tremendous stress to git-er-done, which is exactly the opposite of what you need in order to look over a Frankenstein-mar.
He expects that nobody closer than 10 hours away would ever buy this freak cobbled-together jumble of mismatched parts.
And the price is waaay to high for what he has.
Run!!!!!

Add to that one of the previous owners appears to have been shortcut happy. The missing body panels were probably left off to make more room for the FEL lines. I have seen many pictures of 1510s and 186s that have loaders and those body panles installed so it leads me to believe that it was done to get the job done as quickly and easily as possible. The weld marks on the FEL brackets tell me the same thing. Shortening the 4 wheel drive lever is the same thng. Instead of taking the time to find the right parts it was quicker and easier to cut the lever. The question is how many other issues were dealt with the same way?

NO I believe Redneck,VN hack-shop Would be more like it. A real good chance it's Local the more I look at it and the way things are done.The same place that Quoted me 280.00$ It might have even been more to replace a rear axle seal on my ym2000. First thing I did when I was able to get up and out this year. It kind of made me feel a little better knowing I wasn't totaly out of it. Got with the Guys at Hoye 15 bucks and about 2.5 hrs. still not a drip.And I was far from doing it in record time
