yanmar b03 scopy restoration

[yanmarb03]

hey everyone

so I have acquired a yanmar scoppy b03 it has been parked up for 12 years and is in need of some quite extensive repairs

my main question has anyone else got one here?

parts are really hard to come by now as it was made between 1990-1994 going by the serial no it is more towards the 1994 date i have asked yanmar for certain parts and they are mostly discontinued or priced very high

the mains problems i have is the small body panels are very badly rotted also hydraulic tank is completely rotten

my main question or ask from this post is has anyone got one can i possibly get templates i can make new panels from

if anyone wants me to upload pics of it being recovered or what i have ahead of me please comment underneath

Is that the scoopy you lifted out the garden with the tree crane

Lots of the bits you will have to have made. Not a cheap task. You'll almost certainly struggle to find patterns.

My mates got one, I’ve borrowed it afew times, handy thing - I could put it in the 3cx front bucket and take it with me!
It’s been restored now, zero parts available for it so I was led to believe!

Is there any chance I could have some photos of it? I need some detailed photos of all the external panels inside and out

I've been bumping up against the upload size limit too since I changed to a ulefone 9e (photos are coming out at about 18mb) but I have found a app to compress them

18 meg is a big old bit of space you want that sits on the servers and can slow things down. 5 of them is 90 meg x 10 people is basically 1gb . Ouch il ask the question

They have a all jcb fleet.. so I think they thought it felt left out

Can't you have an automatic resizer your end?

It definitely doesn't worry me and I'm happy to resize them ideally a resizing them on the forum would be ideal though
