Gary, you are absolutely right. In fact, the current new JD products made in Japan are JD 790, 990, 4100N, 4100, 4010, 4110, and probably a few others; all use Yanmar engines and the country of origin is Japan which means that is where it was made. The manufacture tag (required by U.S. Customs for entry) must show the country of origin and if one searches very hard way back up in a most unlikely spot, usually in the rear inside fender well area but on occasion in the front under frame area, you'll find a plate listing Yanmar Engine Company Tokyo Japan. And that is in addition to the engine identifier on the engine. It means the entire tractor.
