I would think this engine would cross over to some other shibaura engine that has more readily available parts. Any time and money you put into this project will certainly pay off. Anyone know? Any pointers on this rebuild?Ĭongratulations on the great buy! You simply can't beat the deal you got on the tractor, loader, and implements. Is this so? Or is it just my imagination? I am sure oem parts are available from a source other than ford at a better price, just dont know where to look.
I noticed that there seemed to be some type of coating on the cylinders where they set down in the counterbore on the top of they block. Had clutch disks relined at carolina brake and clutch for $70.00, head reworked, $110.00, injectors rebuilt $180.00, getting crank turned. Anybody know of a parts source other than Ford and the few parts that are available aftermarket? Need to replace 1 cylinder, bearings, seals, would like to replace rings after honing 2 cyls and a new one, although rings look ok & endgap. Got a heck of a buy on this thing and came w/6 implements and a loader, implements never used, $2000 for all. Have engine completly torn down, internals are in nice shape. $427.00 for a gasket kit? Machine has low hours but had rain in the cylinders. New to the forum, hammered it pretty hard trying to find parts for this engine.
