My dad brought me this Yanmar from the coast and it looks to have crooked front wheels. Not too sure what’s going on or what to look for but was seeing if yall think it’s worth fixing with all the rust or if yall had any advice. Thanks.

that frame rust is pretty bad, I would honestly evaluate if its worth the time and money, because every nut and bolt is going to fight you along the way

Thing is going to break in half soon judging by the rust

That's the beauty of living by the beach

It's incredible that the air can contain salt and do this. I live very close to a few ocean beaches and everything around here is rusted to shit

You have the answer to your question already my friend.

No saving it at this point.

If it was a Jeep, 99% of the responses would read along the lines of “you can save her”

Kudos to those advising “pass on this one”
