Buying Advice considering a shibaura

[flagtrax]

Greetings to all, I'm new to the forum and just starting to gain knowledge on compact tractors. I recently aquired a Kubota L245DT, and it seems to be in pretty good shape for its age. I am looking locally at a smaller shibarua SD 1540D but can't seem to find much information on it. the engine is torn down and the owner says the mechanic that was going to rebuild it moved. I'm wondering if parts are available and where to find them. Any info would help. Thanks in advance.
