Hi,
I've recently bought a, new to me, Shibaura SD1840. The rear wheel track seem quite narrow, I'm concerned about the safety on my hilly property. I've purchased a ROPS through the NY state program, and considering adding wheel spacers. My question is, I've measured the hub and it looks like a 5.75dia 5 lug configuration, does anyone know if this is the same as a ford (or other tractor)? Where could I purchase a 3in or so wide spacer?
Also, the fenders on this tractor are quite dented and will take a lot of work to repair. Does anyone know where I could source replacements? Do Ford 1500 tractor fenders fit (I read somewhere the Ford 1500 tractor is similar to the Shibaura SD1840).
and, finally one more question, I want to service the tractor, are there any manuals available that would walk me through this?
Thank you, Stu
