I may be going to look at a "Lime Green" Yanmar 2000 this coming weekend.

Can anyone tell me how much this animal weighs, and if it would fit onto an 8 foot trailer. My trailer is 5x8 and is rated for up to 3500 lbs. The tractor is being sold by an individual...and is located several hours from where I live. I figure on taking my trailer with me in case I decide to buy it.....IF it would fit on said trailer.

Also, can anyone tell me about what year they went from the "Lime Green" to the Red paint?

I would take it if it was clean, and you were close. Give it to a friend to burn in his or her oil furnace, that is if you don't have one. Should burn quite nicely there if it isn't ancient. I am sure somebody can use it. How much are you talking about??? Bill

Well Bo, I wasn't tryin to ruffle your feathers, and glad to see your britches aren't in a bunch any more too. As to your question about where does grease go, I dunno either, but I do see what is left coming outta the weep hole when I pump in the new stuff. Seems to be a degraded version of it's former self. Where is the rest? I imagine you loose some to leakage, evaporation (you ever see really old grease that was left open? kinda looks like it is drying up, at least some of it that I've seen. Must be some lower boiling point products in them.) Somebody knows, but that ain't me. For all I know there is a grease fairy, but he's to cheep to leave the dollar like the tooth fairy does. In so far as the chart of Mr. Andretti's, I guess I won't be buying Mobil one. Course I won't use the gear oil in the crank case either. I would hope my synthetic fairs better. Like I said, not all is created equal. But that is for the other thread. Hope someone has some other input on bo's question. By the way Bo, the only stupid question, is the one that isn't asked. If you don't know something and remain ignorant about it, that is ultimately the only stupid thing you could do. Not everyone knows as much as more learned people, and it is always nice for those people to share their knowledge. Doesn't have to be a teacher either, just be able to get it accross intelligibly with reasonable accuracy. Most of the time people are very grateful. Happy New Year to all. Bill

Scott, Take it back. That is what the warranty is for. It can be difficult to adjust these, without being under load, and my guess is, if you put it under load it will die. Yours may have caps over the adjustments, depending on the carb used. Not worth it if something else is wrong other than adjustment. Outta time can also make it backfire. That can be the cam or the spark. Not worth fixing, get a new one, and preferably with another brand of engine. Always had more trouble with that kind than others in the long run. I ran a small engine repair shop for years. Bill
