ROPs Remnant?

[California]

just about any part from a YM1600 or YM2000 fits the 1900.

Except a replacement brake rod.

As we gain a finer appreciation of what the Vietnamese craftsmen accomplish in restoring tractors without the use of factory parts ....

I couldn't resist sorry Gary! btw glad you are motivating again! :thumbsup:

No problem, I got a laugh out of it too. I had to get it wrapped up and back together as my wife kept looking at it in pieces all over the garage and saying "you are going to be able to put this back together right?" I told her as soon as I figure out the brake rods, the rest is a piece of cake.:confused2:

They probably just hold up two parts and say "looks the same to me, stick it in there":thumbsup:

Yup California very possibly true plus Gary's work looks like he is probably more of a craftsman too than hack which they get dinged for a lot.

There is a lot to be said about making stuff out of nothing that works so no doubt it cant be easy for the VN either giving credit where its due! :thumbsup:

IMHO I don't buy it the VN refurbs has the same parts ability.There's are Better and have a Better supply of Tractors.You Think there just a little closer.Only reasoning for all the poor miss matched parts you hear about with thier US. Imports IMO. is doing it on the CHEAP and parts used can be made to work. It's not like you have to have the latest state of the art equipment on hand to work on them. I went through and maintain my YM2000 out of my Shed. :laughing: Maybe my standards are way to high but go figure my YM2000 is basicly indistrucktable Original and all intact

Poor people have poor ways Carey here and everywhere its no excuse just the way the cookie crumbles.

I have had guys working for me that could tear up an anvil with a rubber hammer then on the other hand I have had guys that could build an anvil out of a rubber hammer.
