If you find the word "recondition" on the Fredricks site, I'm sure they'd like to know about it.

LMTC I Had some really good friends buy a Fredricks provided Tractor this year.
By definition it was by Far more like it was Reconditioned. When I started to use it. Since I am the only one that does really use it,and recommended a Yanmar.
I would have been P.O BIG TIME If it was only Refurbished. Are you sure that is a better description? And that they might need to change to Reconditioned Process on their web sites. Esp.since they are by far more like they are Reconditioned instead of Refurbished just like A VN.?

bought my tractor from Tom Fredricks 5 yrs ago. Use it hard every spring & summer . Only items that had to be replaced were the tach & front hub seal. Both under warranty. Very pleased with this tractor.

IMO. Only buy from a dealer or private seller that you trust

Recondition/Refurbished/Processed, all that really means to consumers is inflated prices.

Absolutly not IMO. The price that was paid for the reconditioned tractor was well worth the price that was paid and asked for it. My ym2000 was as is and in Not Bad to Good Shape still had to go through and repair somethings,nothing that major the worst was the starter. I was able to go into it and repair the Elec. motor. Also had some issues with the voltage regulater the PO left the original one in the dash and still useing it to the day. It had the New style solid state,Thank goodness I kept it the old one started to have what seemed to be the same problem a Year later and I found a wireing issue.I believe it still may be good. Like I say, If It Ain't broke don't fix it. Everything else was just maintenance. Worked around machinery most of all my life, I will be the first to admit I'm kind of **** about some things

Just got back from GA. Started out with bike in the back of my truck - ended up with bike still in the back of my truck. Tractor was worse off than hoped for and about right on par with what I feared. Thanks for all the valuable input on TBN. It could have been a real disaster without your help. If anyone is interested in the full story, I will PM it to you but will not post it here. Thanks again guys!

Please add me to your PM list as well.

Even though this deal went south, I hope you can find something that fits your needs and hopefully keeps you involved in the discussions here.
