YM1500 for sale whole or parts

[kathol233]

Hello, I have a ym1500 I recently purchased at a consignment auction, when I got home with it and started cleaning it up I found that the block has been broken and repaired and the repair is seeping water. The tractor does run.
I have it for sale as a whole tractor or I will sell parts from it to try and get a little of my investment back.
If anyone might be interested the tractor is located in north central Arkansas and I can be contacted at: kathol233@flippinweb.com

thanks,

Bruce

This had a piece about the size of a baseball broken out of the block. Someone then welded it back in.

How do you fix?

What are you asking for it?

 

[kathol233]

I'll try welding it and see what happens.

I was hoping to get $800.00 out of it.

Coldwater is correct. cast iron can be welded with great success. It might require a specialty shop, but it certainly can be done.

i was thinking the same thing. The tires are worth an easy $300, the trans if working is worth that $800, the radiator an easy $50. and on and on. I dont think you have to worry. someone will snap it up for parts. Esp if it runs right now and just leaks!!
