OUR PROCESS​

In the beginning, refurbishment was limited to minimal functional repairs, like replacing seats and batteries, and tuning up and cleaning engines. As we continued to refurbish tractors and take the process further, we also developed an aftermarket parts supply and inventory. Where parts were previously unavailable or in very limited supply, we now had a supply chain large enough to allow us to complete extensive repairs and refurbishments. This was the beginning of the Fredricks Difference.
  • New engine components and hardware, like sleeves, pistons, bearings, rods, and more.
  • New radiators.
  • New soft goods like belts and hoses.
  • New electrical components.
  • New starters.
  • A full safety package.
  • Fresh paint and bodywork.
  • New grills, lights, and turn signals.
  • New seals and fresh fluids.
  • And much more!
We add other important safety features to every Fredricks Importing Yanmar tractor. These other features include items such as:
  • Seatbelt: Each seatbelt is bolted to the frame, to help keep you in the seat, safe and sound.
  • English Operating and Safety Labels: These tractors were originally made in Japan and, therefore, had operating and safety decals writting in Japanese kanji. So, we replace them with bright, easy-to-read, english-language operating labels.
  • PTO Shield: This shield covers the PTO assembly and helps to prevent unwanted and dangerous contact with the spinning PTO and implement driveshaft joint.
  • PTO Overrun Clutch: Each tractor is supplied with a PTO overrun clutch. The clutch acts as a slip gear, much like the rear wheel of a bicycle. When force from the tractor PTO is applied, the overrun engages and spins the implement. When the operator stops the tractor, and the PTO, the clutch disengages, allowing the implement to spin down without turning the PTO. Without the overrun clutch, an implement that has a lot of inertia (like a rotary cutter) could drive the tractor forward.
  • Clutch Safety Switch: This helps to prevent the starting of the tractor while it is in gear. Because the clutch must be engaged to crank the tractor, the transmission is fully disengaged and will remain stationary during start-up.
 
How come so many of them in one place? Don't they sell very good?
This is the UTDA center. It takes all of these Yanmar, Deere, etc machines and restores them to better than new. Next these are sent out to 5 locations in the southeast states to sell.

There are two other companies doing this too. One in California and another in Washington.

They sell so many of them, it keeps the used tractor market booming for these machines. Certain models are on back order.

I took my FF24 to work with my box blade, the semis tear up our gravel lot when they turn. I used the teeth to tear it up some, then I pulled the excess gravel over into the pot holes. I then tried to smooth it all out, I need more practiced as I was digging the holes out more versus filling and grading, kept messing with the angles. I also broke the rear plate across the back used to smooth so that needs welded.
