Just information for you guys. Remember I was hunting a Final Pinion and a Joint for the front-end of my 4-wheel drive. Well one part I have found in Japan and the other I am making progress on getting here in the USA. I found out from Japan that Ford tractors are made by SHIBAURA (I knew that) but the SD3000D is one model that has no Ford cross match according to Japan. As much as I love my SHIBAURA SD3000D once its fixed I am going to sell it and get me a tractor that I can easily get parts for. I hate to do it because it is a very,very good tractor and I like it better than any of the others.
