As most people on here doesn't own a recon, or probably more than one Yanmar, you want all of us to just read, then the very few that has a recon and one that's not, would have it down to probably you and one or two others that could post about it. And as for as over 100 hours on a Yanmar, I have that. And as for running good after its been used for a while, PCWhouse bought his from LMTC in 1986 and its not a recon, as LMTC doesn't do that, and never had to do anything to his. But the way you wrote your post, one would think yours must be better than any other one, and I just don't believe it. The information I have gathered over the years is that they are used for about 30 hours a year in Japan, so that would be around 900 hours in 30 years. Some a little more, some a little less. They just couldn't need to be reconditioned at those hours, if they were any good at all. Maybe a seal or something like that, but not a motor job, or anything like that, is all I'm saying. That is all that was wrong on mine. Never been reconditioned and ran perfect. I just think that Ceder Bill, would be better off, with a closer dealer, and one that buys the tractors that are not in need of a overhaul. I'm done.
