Hi All,
I'm new here and just found this forum recently. I just posted this in the grey market forum not realizing there was a Shibaura forum.
I picked up a Shibaura 1740 to work around my property doing gardens etc
It seems like a good little tractor and everything works OK. However I don't know it's service history and thought I'd give it a once over before doing any real work. New oil and filters are the order of the day but since this is a Japan import there's not a lot of info at the local Shibaura dealer for this model.
I was looking at a Shibaura ST318 and it looks like an updated version of my tractor. The mechanicals look very similar. I'm hoping the oil, hydraulic and fuel filters are the same.
Does anyone have any part numbers for these for the 1740?
I also have read that New Holland and Shibaura share some common components. Are they the same underneath ie an OEM arrangement between New Holland and Shibaura?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
Michael
