To close out this thread, here's the Rest of the Story... Sent the pump to thepumpguysc, who had a devil of a time finding parts as well. His overseas supplier sold him the barrels and plungers needed, then cancelled and refunded the order without explanation. He searched for other suppliers...

Greetings! I picked up this Mohawk B-5 "Brave" rotary cutter at a farm near my home. I've already changed out the gearbox fluid and checked underneath to find the stump jumper and blades in surprisingly good condition. I don't think the upper link area is set up as it would have come from the...

Well, After a through review, the bolt torque specs are not mentioned in the 1920 manual either. It describes the removal process in detail, then says the reinstall is the reverse, but jumps from "bolt the timing gear cover on" to referring to the crankshaft pulley and it's required torque...

Thanks for this resource! I'll try to find it. Hopefully the 1920 is close to the 1910. Thank you! Jim

I'm aware. That's why I identified them as BOTH "M8, grade 8 bolts." Because the hardness is germane to torque specs. Thank you, though, for reading the post. -Jim

Thanks. It's a cast iron cover. Believe they are M8, grade 8 bolts. If oil comes gushing out, I'll tighten more, I guess. -Jim

Yes. The general torque specs I saw as well. Assume these were meant for metal-to-metal parts. The timing gear cover has a gasket between it and the block. Plus, I'm not really sure what to make of the chart. The heads of the bolts are blank (except the one that goes through the alternator...

Greetings, Replaced the timing gear cover gasket and started looking for the torque specs for the bolts that hold it on. Been through all of my manuals (including the repair manual) and the closest I came was a reference to the reinstallation of the timing gear cover in the "engine" section...

That makes sense. Thanks for the edification. Jim

For those following along at home... After disassembling what seemed like half the tractor, I finally got the pump gear off and got my first look at the inside-the-timing-cover side of the seal and pump shaft. As an experiment, I dried everything well, then reinstated the fuel lines and opened...

It does run well. Cold-blooded, like you said, but it does run well. Parts for these pumps seem to be scarce as hen's teeth.

Well, in short...no. The symptoms seem to point that way though, including that I have to change the oil every two uses because it keeps dumping diesel into the oil pan. Dilutes itself to where it starts blowing out like water from the breather tube. Plus, when I shut it down, I can hear what...

Thank you! That will be a helpful resource. Much appreciated.

Was figuring on the spray paint trick and etching any end shafts. I'll turn the crank to line up the timing marks before I pull it too. Hopefully, these things are robust enough that I won't offend it too much in the process! Guess I need to find a timing cover gasket too... Thanks, Jim

I am getting ready to remove the diesel injector pump on my 3-cyl Ford (Shibaura) 1910 tractor. The pump (diesel kiki) needs rebuilt and after that's done, I want to reinstall it with a minimum of timing and alignment issues. Hoping for some general advice on how to accomplish this. Things to...

Thanks all, Really appreciate the help and advice. Jim

That's great advice! Thanks. When I see these older Shibaura tractors being started in videos, they seem to catch right away, but mine takes two sessions of 20-second heating and still has to crank for about 30 seconds or more (twice). Was worried about the starter. Do you have a favorite...

Maybe... I've only had the tractor for a couple of years, but it's been hard starting since I got it. Like nearly running the battery down each time I try. I changed out the glow plugs a few weeks ago and that made little difference (though they were very sooty and looked to be in need of...

I have looked at both of those sources and found only ones specified for the 20-series and other newer tractors. I searched by both the correct SBA numbers and the "Ford 1910" keywords. There were zero relevant hits for either, but tons for the other 10-series and 20-series tractors. If by "pop...

Greetings, Been fixing up the old tractor fuel system. Right now, I'm trying to locate an equivalent fuel injector (or rebuild kit) for my 1984 Ford (Shibaura) 1910 tractor. The part numbers are: SBA131406230 (Single) SBA131406220 (double) I've been scouring the online shops and finding...

Ah. Helpful. Thanks.

Thanks again.

Rebuilding the injectors might be a place to start then. I've noticed that there are no suppliers for the 10-series injectors. But, other than the crush washer at the bottom, are there parts that wear out that need replaced when rebuilding the injectors? Thanks for the reply.

I haven't seen coolant signs in the oil yet. Just fuel. Radiator is full up still. How would you do a leak-down test on this tractor? I'll search for pump repair in my area. Thanks

Got it! Thanks.

I'll have another look at it. Thank you. I can see the drain plug (slotted screw) and the fill cap (a horizontal hex bolt), but haven't looked behind it. I'll open the fill today and make sure it's topped off.

Yes. The glow plug indicator coil burns red after about 10 seconds. Thanks.

I'll check the glow plugs. I've only owned it a couple of years and it's been stubborn to start since I got it. Found my (poorly laid out and confusing) shop manual and I don't see an oil overflow either. But it does show that the pump is lubricated via the engine oil. Cap on top for adding a...

Well, that's not great news, but sounds like what my issue may be. Bummer. Is there someone on this site that folks here trust to do such repairs? Thanks for the advice. Jim

I have never checked it. Is it like a differential where the fill level is the bottom of the screw hole? And, does it take the standard 10-30? Or gear oil?

Okay. Doesn't look like there's something I can identify as a lift pump, but here are a few pics to give you an idea. -Jim

Good advice. Thanks.

It doesn't smoke, so that's good. Not sure about whether the pump has it's own crankcase and oil. I'll go check. Maybe there's a way to add a photo that would help on here. I'll give it a try. And I'll see if I can identify if it has a lift pump.

Thanks for these. Sounds like the right course of action would be to check/test the lift pump (if it has one - guess that's step one) then see about rebuilding the injector pump?

Antifreeze is full. The oil smells like diesel. No foam or froth. Assuming you mean the diesel injector pump?

My tractor sits a lot but is in great shape. It's a 1984 Shibaura (Ford) model 1910 3 cyl diesel. It starts but is reluctant to do so. Takes about 20-30 seconds of cranking (after 10 seconds of glow plug warm-up) when cold to get it to catch. The other day, while I was using it and the engine...

I have a great little 1910 that lacked a loader when I bought it. I found a loader from a machine (also a 1910) at Weaver's and am having trouble figuring out the plumbing. The 1-arm loader valve (also a Ford made by Diesel kiki) has the two hoses that go to the diverter block, plus a port that...

Ford 1910 Compact Tractor Seatbelt Attachment Points? Greetings, Have a great little 1910 (1984 model) compact tractor that I managed to find an ROPS for, so need to also reinstate the (missing) seatbelt. But, I can't find any literature that indicates the attachment point for the bolt-end...

New-to-me Ford 1910 (1984). Looking for photos of how the ROPS posts attach to the axle. Or anywhere. I bought the tractor without an ROPS and found one for it at a salvage yard. Can't find any instructions as to how to mount it in the service manual or operator's manual. Any help is...

Have a line on a 771 and need a loader for my 1910 tractor. Anyone know if these will bolt up without modifications? I know the 771 was specified for the 1900 (and the 770A/B for the 1910), which is close to the 1910, but don't want to commit to a costly mistake. Thanks, Jim

Good morning, A new 1910 owner with operator and service manuals in-hand. Unanswered question: What material is the fuel level tube (that serves as a fuel gauge in pre-July 1985 1910s) made of? Mine is crusty, opaque, and crispy. I thought it was a metal tube until I saw that the ends were...
