What Jim claims was once true. Yanmar used to make John Deere compacts. Today, my understanding is that only the JD 4100 (20hp) is made entirely by Yanmar. The other JD compacts still use Yanmar engines and probably many other Yanmar parts but are actually assembled here in the US.

Murf, it sounds like you could make some money finding these things and shipping them to those interested. I'd like to try something similar - although not quite the same. I'd like to mount a belly mower to a tractor for which one was never made. Without a mid-pto, the two options are power from the front with an electric clutch (very expensive and complicated) or power from the pto using a gear box of some sort and a pulley for a belt running forward to the mower.

For the gentleman wanting to mount the snow blower to his Yanmar 155D - have you visited the Yanmar Tractor Owners Group dicussion board on Yahoo? Check it out at the link I included.

I think the meantion of "real" front brakes is referring to the fact that in 4wd, the front and rear axles are locked together mechanically, and must turn together. Therefore, applying brakes (at the rear wheels) in effect brakes the front as well due to the positive mechanical link through the transmission and drive shafts.

When does 4wd become less important with a utility tractor
