Which Model is this?

[fenneran]

There is a surplus farm equipment auction tomorrow, so I stopped by to see what wares were going to be offered. I saw this yanmar and could not find any markings on it indicating which model it was. Any ideas?

It is a "B" model of either a 1700 or 2000. It is kind of hard to tell without something to gauge the size with . I am leaning towards a YM1700BD. The side screens are missing. The "B" models have different side screens and headlight bezel and the dash board hash gauges instead of warning lights. Othe than cosmetic changes there really isn't any difference. Here is what a YM2000 "B" model looks like complete.

Frank, could you see if it was 2 or 3 cyl? Any English or Japanese decals on it? Looks like it may be YM240D or YM2000D.

Brent, I was just getting ready to amend my post to say "B" model, missing the side panels. That is definitely a "B" model, (high back) seat, with an extension attached. My signature is a YM2000B.

No, sorry I didn't notice. I actually stopped by to take some pics for a friend who is interested in getting a CUT and saw this one. I'll stop by this afternoon on the way home and see if I can get more info.

It was listed on the sale sheet at the auction as a 1700D. Sold for $2,600. Looks like Brent wins the prize!
