Hi Guys:

Im the guy that got the YM173 on ebay. Any information you might have would be great. Looks like a nice old tractor in good shape. I'm picking it up in Utah this week. Could use a manual or any info. I'm going to need a scraper or small box for it so if anyone has any implements that might work I would love to hear from you, I'm in California.

Thanks in advance, Rick

I am really interested in hearing about the little tractor. My best guess is that it has got to be pre 1975. It would be nice if it had came with the original tiller since it has the special PTO.

I looked at the picture of the rear end of the tractor again and I can't tell whether it has lower lift arm pins or not. It definately does not have lower lift arms. If it has the lower pins, then fabricating lift arms shouldn't be a problem. If there are no pins then you may have to do some engineering. Some of the 2 point hitch tractors have the pins there and others don't. Let us know all the details as soon as you can.

Hi Guys:
Thanks for responding, I'll keep you informed on whats going on. I think I'll be able to make all the mountings for the attachments. Really all I want to do with it is scrape a little. I have 3 acres and I have a Ford 8N but its too big for going around certin areas of my property so that why I got this one.
I'll post the serial numbers and more more detailed photos next week.

Thanks Rick
