YANMAR GREEN

[Richard Phelps]

For years I have searched for the Yanmar green paint and gave up, after 30 some years of looking at dents,scratches and rust I finally decided that there had to be a paint produced that was close enough and there was GM Chevy Camaro paint code 43. This is a work in progress just thought I would share this.

That is the first good solution to the problem I have ever seen. It looks more 'correct' for a tractor, to my eye, than the weathered color I see on my Yanmar today. It looks like you found the color they intended to use!

I've seen a similar green, slightly lighter, on Kawaski motorcycles that might look good on these tractors too.

And there was a Chrysler hemi green back in the day, that would be a close match.

This paint can be found at Automotivetouchup.com Touch Up Paint, Aerosol Spray Paint and Paint Touch Up Accessories. It is for 1970 Chevy paint code 43 for the base coat in a spray can, and the clear can be Duplicolor top coat. This is the quickest and easiest way without having to take a sample in and finding someone to mix it.

That looks very nice.

Question, on my YM186D, which is red, the emblem on the front center says 'Yanmar Red'

What does it say on the green ones?

The emblem does not say anything, it is a "Y" on chrome plastic w/ black and red background.
