***UPDATE Tuesday, 08-19-2025*** Rob Fredricks replied back to the email I sent Fredricks about the check for the repair bill on my YM2500. He stated that the check was printed last Wednesday, and was mailed out last Thursday. Was sent by regular US mail, so there’s no tracking number. It’s...

***UPDATE 08-15-2025 Friday*** I have decided to give Fredricks one more chance at making this right. Once again, they have offered to come pick it up. The check from Fredricks is supposed to be in the mail to Mobiltech, for the Throttle Shaft Replacement/Repair and the Cylinder Head Job...

Thanks Peter, I needed to read that. I’m just so frustrated and aggravated with this whole situation. Here it is in a nutshell: I purchased this “refurbished” tractor, from a reputable, trustworthy dealer of Vintage Yanmar Tractors in November of 2024. Was supposedly nothing wrong with it...

***UPDATE Thursday, 08-07-2025*** Myself, Stephen Fredricks, and my local mechanic Ray, have been emailing back and forth. Fredricks has offered once again to come pickup the tractor at their convenience, at their expense, and bring it to their shop for “repair” (once again). The mechanic(s)...

***UPDATE Wednesday 08-06-2025*** Not good news at all. I’m DONE. My mechanic got the cylinder head and new head gasket installed and it’s still leaking coolant, from the same spot. He said either the engine block will need machine work, or the tractor will need another engine! ((This would...

Thanks. I found a used Frontier 4’ on marketplace for an excellent deal, but it had already sold before I could get to it. If I buy new, I’ve narrowed it down to 3 choices: King Kutter, Rural King (which is King Kutter), or Lowery Manufacturing (LMC) from a local LMC dealer. In my opinion, I...

***UPDATE 08-02-2025 Saturday*** Everything is looking good! My mechanic messaged me yesterday evening, stating that he got the Throttle Shaft changed, the Cylinder Head installed, and that he should finish it up this coming Monday. He knows what he’s doing, there’s no question about that...

I’ve decided to put the purchase on hold right now. I haven’t bought anything yet. Not going to at the moment because it’s just not the right time. I may purchase a new 4 foot King Kutter Flex Hitch Professional Series rotary cutter from a Co-Op in my area a little later on. They are the...

***UPDATE 07-29-2025 Tuesday*** Positive News! I received a text from my local tractor mechanic yesterday. He got the cylinder head back from the machine shop yesterday. I asked what they told him about it and he stated, “It took a light pass to clean up 3 to 5 thousand.” I asked him if...

Here is a better picture of the numbers on the Transmission, and the Serial Number used in the auction on TractorHouse, which is an exact match of 02864. The UTDA “Fredricks Importing” Tag Serial Number attached to the hood is 4465, but is difficult to see in the picture.

2,642 is the Hours on the hour meter of the tractor at the time of the auction, not the tractor’s Serial Number.

Yes, it does. The number on the transmission.
