Even tough these are the ugly Yanmars, I'm surprised to find any of them. Do people really neglect their tractors this badly?

This is a YM1300

Not everyone farming has lots of resources or mechanical aptitude, but I also think some folks don't care.

The fellow that we bought our farm from was a jack of all trades, and he had lots of equipment standing around in fields, just in case. Some of it got pretty ugly looking, but a lot of it ran, or could be running with a few turns of a wrench. The one above looks like it might be a runner; the oil filter is new.

(My observation is to never underestimate an old piece of equipment. Ever seen "Marty T" on YouTube?)

All the best,

Peter

WoW!! exactly what I said Ca.. plus a few more comments. Good Grief. Seen many and mixed quite a few colors of ink in my lifetime working in Graphic Arts. Deal on spray paint @ the Dollar store is my guess.
