Been looking at a few D3's, D4's, and D5's (70's and 80's models). Some of the 3's and 4's I've seen are built in Japan.
Does anyone have any input on the differences between the US built machines and the Japanese in these models? Mainly with regard to quality of workmanship, durability, ease of repair and maintenance, and parts availability. Any other info would be appreciated as well.
Never really been a fan of anything not made in the USA, but on the D3B in particular, I do like the way the throttle is an actual lever on the Jap built machine. I used to run one with the T-handle throttle....didn't like that setup very much.
Thanks.
