heard of these?

[jerrym4]

I am currently looking at a Shibaura D235F and a Mitsubishi MT205. Any idea about the quality of these? How hard will it be to find parts for these?

Thanks,

New Holland uses Shibura sp? engines & components in its TC line of tractors.

And prior to the New Holland line, Ford's compact tractors were made by Shibaura. Not sure whether there would be complete parts interchangeability with the tractors carrying the Shibaura brand name.

Shibaura still makes some NH compacts. The TC18,21,24,30 are all Shibaura models built in Japan. I have a European Shibaura catalog, but D235F isn't in it. My TC33 has a Shibaura engine, but it was assembled in the USA. There isn't an equivalent Shibaura model that I know about.
