1979 Yanmar YM155 for sale on eBay 1/2017

This is a one owner tractor (742 hours) that has a crack inside the block. The crack is located where the bottom of the two cylinder liners are separated. I attempted to correct this by using a high silver content welding rod but was unsuccessful, as the silver did not weep fully into the crack. I have purchased another Yanmar tractor as I do not have the time nor the skills to repair this tractor. This tractor was used to cut grass with a Woods belly mower. Power was provided by an electric clutch. No implement has ever been connected to the PTO shaft. The PTO shaft spins nicely at 540 and 770 rpms, without noise and without leaking.
