Another Tractor Project

[PHPaul]

It's a Shibaura SD1400B with a LE0752B diesel engine. 4 speed transmission, 2 speed rear end, 3 speed PTO. I'm told it's the basis for one or another of Ford's early compact diesels. "Ford 1300" is mentioned but I can't verify that.

There's nothing I can find wrong with the rest of the tractor and I think it'd be a handy thing to have around, but I can't afford to drop 4 figures into it.

This parts dealer, with some Fords listed, is usually in our local Craigslist, but not now. I did find this ad.

People have problems accessing my pictures on a couple of sites. Not sure why. Try right-clicking the icon and choose "open in new window" and see it that works.

No right click on my tablet, got a similar menu with a long press for one, but very reluctant, and wouldn't do the rest. Must be my old tablet screen. Thank you though!

Paul, what gears do you need? Is the big gear a bull gear on the drive axle, or in the differential?

 

[cliffboyer]

There is outfit in Dixon, IL sells used parts. Sheaffers.

Have seen add on CL now and then of fellow selling used import parts. IIRC, in the Mid-MO or KC area.

Any chance your type was sold in US under a Massey label or something else?

Edit: I think Ford did market your brand, but could have been Hinomoto too.

Pinion/input shaft and ring gear on differential carrier. I can email you the pictures if you can't see them in my post.

Three leads on parts, all struck out.

Noodling ideas for using the engine and trans for something.

I vote for that diesel powered wooden "schooner" you've been wanting to build.

Back-up generator! That engine should be able to produce 6-8k.

That idea occurred, but I have a whole-house generator installed and a 4500W portable in the shed so don't really need another generator.

Thought about a hydraulic power pack, but don't know what I'd ever use it for. Got most of the parts laying around tho.

In the right region, a towbar on the front of the tractor and a pump on the rear would make it a useful piece of equipment.

One of the options I'm considering.

Startup Video

While waiting on the seals, I went ahead and purged the fuel system. The canister for the fuel filter was empty...no filter cartridge. No way to ID the correct cartridge, so I replaced it with an inline filter with a replaceable cartridge, then bled the lines and injectors.

As the video shows, it starts well and doesn't smoke so I'm pretty pleased with the engine. Also the batter shows 13.8x volts at high idle so the charging system appears to be working.

I'm putzing around de-rusting and painting the tin while I wait on the seals to show up. Once I'm sure the rear end is fixed, I'll spring for a new seat and some front tires and tubes.

Wow that sounds great and being suspended on jacks no major vibration well balanced you got a gem. good luck i like what your doing
