Looking for a diesel tractor mechanic

[Cheetah]

Anyone know a good diesel tractor mechanic in So MD? I have a 20HP compact diesel tractor made by Yanmar (Japanese). They make the same diesel engines for John Deere, though I'm not crazy about going to dealerships because they charge more.

No problems now...thought it would be good to find one before I REALLY need one.

Thanks!

If it's a Yanmar the chances are slim that you will need one.

GREAT! It has been quite a tough machine. Still want to have one for normal maintenance, though.

The only maintenance is oil changes as long as you don't do something weird like use #2 fuel oil in it. My 37hp (I think) in a skid loader has almost 3k hours with only oil changes. Yanmar is head and shoulders above any other diesel I've ever owned. Fords, Westerbeke or GM's little diesel, Izzuzo (sp). If you ever do need something, Zahnisers might be a good place to start if it's only engine problems and you don't like Gardner.
