Hello from Western Pennsylvania. Finally bought a Yanmar.

[California]

Best of all, I bet there isn't a computer in the critter! Yanmar must mean sensible or something in Japanese.

There's not even a fuel shutoff solenoid. Or a thermostat. Or fuel gauge. (semi-transparent fuel tank).

These 70's designed Yanmars are beautifully simple. Just the essentials. And dead simple to maintain. Need the alternator? Autozone, ask for '72 Datsun no a/c. $29. One Thermostart module (manifold pre-heat, equivalent to glow plugs). ~$20.

Elegant design, calculated to be maintainable forever by anyone anywhere in the world if you have a screwdriver and a socket set. Nobody builds like that any more.

Thank you all, I'm sure I will have many questions about the tractor and it's operation.

Yes great deal for sure, and it looks really nice yet. Like California said, simple, easy to maintain and built to last a long time. Enjoy!!

Get everything up to working order and it should last for Yrs.. You just don't hear of problems that can't be resolved with relative ease. Esp. the YM2000 model. Had mine for quite a few yrs. you just don't hear of people getting rid of or selling them for that reason.
When I looked at your profile I had a good chuckle. And Welcome!!
Been through that county many a time Being From OH. WV. MD.. Which I have family @ also so the comments of stopping in that county came up often. Esp. being a Teen and stuck riding in the car for a few Hrs...... Some real good reasoning..

Thank you all. I have not had much time to enjoy the tractor yet. I hoping to have time this weekend to change all the fluids and filters.
I really appreciate all of your comments.
