They're at it again!

Re: They\'re at it again!

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I think that a lot of the sellers are clueless. They buy the tractors from a distributer, then attempt to resell them at a profit. Earlier this week an ebay auction had a YM1500 with a "rebuilt water pump." I sent seller an email advising that 1500's do not have water pumps. His response was: "The engine is water-cooled, therefore it must have a water pump."

Re: They\'re at it again!

I just saw 2 Hinomotos on ebay that are almost new and have the same engine as Mitsubishi! It gets funnier all the time.

Here's another. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2574167401&category=26193 Isn't this Case made by Shibaura?

Re: They\'re at it again!

Actually that model was built by Mitsubishi before Case IH was bought by New Holland/Fiat. The new Case IH DX series use Shibaura engines but are built over here just as the NH TC Boomer series are.

Guess he must be new to tractors.... heck JD was using thermosyphon systems in what 39?

So by his reasoning.. an air cooled engine must have an air pump? Guess he's never seen a Deutz.. etc..

I love it when people wane stupid in the face of the cold hard facts.

Re: They\'re at it again!

I was looking around there today, found out in one of the Ebay listings that CASE tractors are made by Mistusbishi???

I believe Mistubishi makes the CUTS for Cub Cadet, and both NH and CASE are made by Shiburu (sp?)./forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I also saw 2 used Yanmar tractors with UNDER 10 hours each on them. One had 9.7 hours, the other had 9.3 hours. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Re: They\'re at it again!

The older Case IH compacts were built by Mitsubishi. The new DX line has Shibaura engines in them.

Re: They\'re at it again!

Are we sure the new Case/IH DX's will have a Shibaura engine? Has anyone seen one, or literture stating so??

Or should I say Farmall's

Re: They\'re at it again!

I have seen one and sat on one. The New Holland Dealer told me they use the Shibaura engines in the new Boomer line of compacts, the Case IH DX series are almost identical to the Boomers, and New Holland and Case are both owned by Fiat. I am using a little deductive reasoning to come to my conclusion that the Cases have Shibaura engines as well. As for literature saying so. No American brand name tractor is going to put in their brochure that the tractor has a Japanese engine. On the Farmalls, the CaseIH dealer told me that the ones with Farmall on them would be the smallest of the DX line.

Re: They\'re at it again!

How about this one? A YM1700 with a 3 cylinder engine? I guess I got ripped mine has a 2 cylinder engine.
