Again, Thank you for such a warm welcome.
Let me nip this 'expert' thing in the bud. Every so often when I 'think' I'm an expert I shoot myself in the foot. And there is always someone that comes along and adds heaps of facts to my sometimes fuzzy logic
. I just bought and sold Yanmars for a few years, and haven't done this since December of '06. I do, however, have a decent library of parts, diagrams and exploded views of many models and will try to help anyone that needs it. I still keep about a half dozen 4WD different sized models - as my property friends.
I'm really a retired painter, shop owner and also retired my brief stint as an I-CAR paint instructor...but enough about me.
