I know right? I've known the original owners grandson door a long time and he bought it new in 1979. Dug out a basement with it and it has been babied ever sense. And has never once sat outside. Lol. Original tires and hoses and they look brand new.

Well theres the problem right there, It's never been broke in correctly, A tractor needs to be in some mud occasionally be over revved, and overloaded from time to time. This is how it knows it's a tractor and not a powder puff.
Lol.

Very true. I almost feel bad for it because I'll use it like a tractor. I'll do my best to keep it nice but trust me it will be worked like a dog.

You can't hurt it. Appearance, sure, but not the mechanicals.

Nice tractor! Just be sure to watch your antifreeze mixture. That tractor does not have a water pump so the coolant ratio is critical. Installing a mechanical temp gauge would also be a really good idea.

Cool. Any pointers on thread pitch and fittings for the sensing side of the mechanical gauge?

I will have to check my notes but I was thinking it's metric 6? That's probably totally wrong but I know a few guys like California and Winston have it on the tip of their tounge. I have it in my notes on my phone. If they don't chime in here in a second I can check them and give it to you.

Hardly. I posted details long ago when I researched for my own use, now can't remember, or find the post.

The oil fitting is the same as nearly all Japanese cars, anything from Autozone works. Water however ...... ???

The oil pressure threads on a Yanmar are 1/8bpt. The temperature threads are m16-1.5.
