I would start by going to Satohparts.com and contacting them. That is a really old and somewhat rare unit, so parts are going to be hard to find.
Thank you ThomasH. That gives me a start where to look. I am a retired auto. mechanic and have always wanted to restore a tractor. this tractor is in perfect shape has original tires that have no wear or cracks. most of its life was pulling a cart out of a building with a pump on it so a helicopter could take it away for forestry work, or moving helicopters in and out of the hanger. It was kept inside most of its life.
Have same tractor,i had gasket custom made out of copper,seems to work
Do you have any pictures,mine is a basket case trying to restore. Or im looking for manuel have lots of quetions
