Mitsubishi MT4501 Parts?

[M1Garandpa]

Our golf course has a Mitsubishi MT4501 that we have been nursing along until we can afford to upgrade. It has started blowing the oil cap off and spewing oil out, so we're guessing a blown head gasket or cracked block. Does anyone know a source for parts? I know this tractor was only made a couple of years almost 30 years ago, but I figure the engine must be a standard and got used in other equipment. Thanks!

Check your oil level. I have a Mitsubishi D2350 whose seal on the hydraulic pump goes out from time to time. Hydraulic fluid ends up in the crankcase. This results in an over full situation. The hydraulic pump is not difficult to remove. If you can replace the seal you can fix the problem. A new hydraulic pump is another possible solution. I got my last one off eBay. Do a search for Mitsubishi MT4501 hydraulic pump. Mitsubishi tractors are well supported by Valley Power. They've worked on them for years. Valley Power

Thanks, I'll check it out. I was told that the crankcase is completely emptied when this happens, but they might be wrong. I passed that web site to our grounds manager.
