According to the book, only 100 were imported. Made by Mitsui, of Japan, weighs 16250 lbs, 6-270 power plant, with 83 HP. Source: Swinford's construction book. I would say go for it as a collector, not a user, unless you can figure out what Japanese tractor # it is, and whether any survive, to this day. (looking for parts)

I know of a couple in this area. Watched one sell for $8,000 a couple years ago, I'm sure it was going to be put to work. $4500 seems quite reasonable if it runs and works well.

I wonder if there was a big population of those in that area John? I remember Kauffman Feedlot west of Prospect Valley had 2 or 3 of those at least, back in the 80's. I think they sold on an auction when they closed the feedlot down.

i think it needs some break work, i wonder if you can get parts for this model, being as there were so few of them?
