PM sent.California, Thanks for the links! A backhoe parts manual would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! It's my understanding the back hoe was added a few years after the tractor was purchased. The little research that I have done so far points to the YBH-650 as the option offered for the 135D, 155, and 155d. It had different stabilizing legs. Not sure if it was a 3 point or a sub frame mount. The original owner never said anything about needing to do repairs because of it though. I'll have to contact him again to find out more and let you know what he says...
It looks to me that the YBH650 for the smallest Yanmars is lighter than this YBH600. This one is specified by Yanmar for '19 to 35 hp' and at 650 lbs, its all my YM240 wants to lift. It will be good news if your prior owner says yours was on there for years without problems. Does the YM155D lift it easily?
