Doesn't look bad to me, depending on the mechanical condition

Hey all,
Yeah, this tractor doesn't look like it's in too bad a condition. My 169 looks similar, but it runs fine. Hopefully this one just has some cosmetic issues--- and the sheet metal all looks good, so Whiskey maybe you could just drive it into the redneck paint shop and shine it up??
Maybe wait and see what the 226 on ebay sells for, then adjust the price for being a 4x2 and make an offer? Let us know how it turns out...

Questions about the 226:
1. can it support a FEL? What size?
2. Is this the same / similar tractor to a 2210?
3. did all models have powershift?
It seems like a very decent tractor, just not very common. Or maybe not either? Any feedback on how common this model is/was? Seems like hoye has good parts support either way (where I've bought my parts in the past).
Thanks all, -art

I kind of think the YM226 was a fairly populer model for domestic Yanmars. All the ones I have seen were powershift models. As for the loader, Yes it can handle a loader but what size I can't help you on. I don't know what Gray version it is close to.......wasn't much help was I....
Anywho, I still have not got a phone call back on the one I was looking at.....maybe it was sold buy the time I placed the call........

I would wager that you can buy a YM1810D or 1820D that looks like new for the same price as discussed for the 226. If not at least the same by the time you buy the paint and acc. to get it looking the same.

I have a 226D with FEL. Great tractor and no problems getting parts so far. When I got it there were some minor problems (4 wheel drive not working-water pump-starter not kicking in) but with a manual from Hoye I got the parts and it's been great. I have put over 100 hours in the last 3 months trouble free.

Well, Whiskey, the one on ebay sold for 4000.00. It had 4x4 and looked pretty good. And it didn't sell to me. Couple of reasons why I didn't buy it: a) couldn't find out for sure what the HP of the engine is, some say 20, 24, 26; b) I broke my 1601 which precludes me from trying to get another tractor before it's fixed and ready for resale.
but, anyway, any word on the one near you? !? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I was told a long time ago (right or wrong?) that on domestic Yanmars the first two numbers of the three numbers were hp rating. This doesn't apply to the gray markets.
No phone call back as of yet....may have to do a "drive by" tonight and see if it's still there /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
