arthr31,

I dunno too. In fact the more I find out about it, the less sure I am of my original opinions. The fact that it has a power steering valve made me think domestic....but I haven't seen enough of the three digit models to support this either.

Mark,
See if your friend can get a some pics of the dashboard, the underside of the tractor, and some closer shots of the PTO levers or anything that might have some writing on it. I would like to see whether the text is Japanese or English.

 

[mark777]

OK. will try him in the morning.

That's not a ROPS. That is a sunshade system. This is a grey market. I bet 1702, or 1720.

Notice the supposedly Rops are connected around the PTO, not the axles. Brent, You should have caught this!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Bruce:

I have a ROPS on mine and it does connect just like that one (or at last what I can see in the picture). It bolts in six places, three on each side and it's bolted to each side of the tranny with the PTO in the middle, but like I said before mine is square tubing not round like this one shows. If I can get the pic to post in here you can see the three redish colored spacers are where it bolts to.

The fuel cap is a gray market style

Bruce:

After looking between the two pic's I still think it bolts up like a ROPS, but I think your guess on a sunshade mount is more likely correct. The back end on the pic Mark posted everthing is roundish and on the one I posted everything is more squareish...boy the sounded technical huh?

I've got a couple more pic's if anyone thinks it might help to go back and forth on, I think I might be adding to the confusion though, got one of each side and one of the engine compartment with the hood up
