hello from Greece

[California]

I don't recognize that model. I'm guessing this is one of the newer modern Yanmars?

I looked for ke-4's for sale and saw years claimed late 90's to 2005. (veracity unknown).

So I think this model is earlier than the models that the present US Yanmar dealers are familiar with. We seldom see ke-4's in this 'classic orphan Yanmars' forum but this still might be the only place they are discussed.

Grtaxi I see you are in Greece. Possibly more ke-4's were imported to Europe than to the US, so there might be more information available on European websites. If so, please tell us what you learned!

I have never seen or heard of the ke-4 but I am sure we can figure out a way to find the information grtaxi needs.

A while back someone posted a link to a site with manuals for the less common Yanmar models. However - the site is in Russian and the manuals are in Kanji (Japanese text). I bookmarked a few pages, here is one:

Инструкции к японским тракторам."Japan tractor manual" | Японские минитрактора форум на Fermer.ru / Стр. 31 из 33

The box at the top of the page is a search box. I put in ke-4 and got this list:

Поиск | Fermer.Ru - Фермер.Ру - Главный фермерский портал - все о бизнесе в сельском хозяйстве. Форум фермеров.

Hopefully one of those is a .pdf of an original Japanese manual for ke-4. Since ke-4 was not made for export, I don't expect there is an English (or other) language version.

Thanks California. Those links were pretty interesting. To bad I don't know Kanji or Russian. :confused2:

I think what's needed is to dig through that site and locate the KE-4 manuals set so grtaxi can download them.

It looks to me that the Russian site has pdf scans of a great many tractor manuals.

I will ask him to look for them for us. May take him a day or more to get back to me, he has a newborn.

Doesn't google translate the webpage? I know my phone does it a lot if I am on a foreign site. Did it just yesterday with a Japanese chainsaw webpage I was on? I'm gonna see if it asks me.
