Ford YT16

[sandbagger]

I'm about to enter the yard tractor version of Ford. I figured $450 wasn't so bad a price to pay for a running & mowing Ford. I have 4 acres and usually use my 1710 with a Woods RM59-1, but the canopy keeps me from getting as close as I'd like. So...I'm giving it a shot. Wish me luck, and are there any YT owners out there that have opinions on this Ford YT version??

I'd say if it says "Ford" anywhere on the body that it's a keeper :wink:

The Ford YT16 was built by Gilson. It is very good tractor.

Well, I've had mine now for 5 months. This is a fast son of a gun. I had to replace the fuel tank (what a crock, had to pull engine just to get it out) and changed the trans belt while I was at it. I really love this little mower. If you need a service manual try a Gilson or LawnBoy YT16.
Ready for mowing season!!:smile:

For parts; New Holland Ag site will list anything you need. Messicks also has a good supply of parts. I found my fuel tank on EBAY. I bought a service manual for a LawnBoy YT16. Very much alike. Just a few differences. Good luck& have fun!
