i am looking for 4wd parts for a e 2004 hinomoto

Hinomoto E324 clutch - TractorByNet.com

i hear the 4wd parts are near impossible to find... i haven't had problems with them yet on mine. It'll get sold before that happens hopefully.

You may also try these people in Japan:

Used Tractors: Used Japanese Compact Tractors & Farm Equipment

they replied to me within 12 hours. They couldn't get the part, but replied. I'm surprised as the part wasn't thattttt hard to find (clutch for the E324).

i wonder if the 4wd parts are the same as any of the Massey's that or if the front suspension could be converted worst case.

It is possible that some of the MF parts will cross over but it takes some real detective work. Some have found dealers who are willing to help them do the cross reference but they are far and few between that will do it. Once figuring out that a part crosses over, you might still find out that the part is not available except through salvage. Just because it is also a "MF" part does not guarantee its availability. As you mentioned before, almost anything can be made for you ( like a gear, etc. ) if you have the right information to give the people who can make it but then you run into cost/ benefit issues.

I have often wondered myself about swapping one front axle to another machine. I don't know why this couldn't be done as long as you can couple drive lines, steering and finagle final gearing between front and rear tires....the biggest hurdle probably.

These are the "issues" people have with owning some of the old grey market tractors. However, you still have a really nice one that you got a smokin deal on. It fires right up and purrs. Even if there is no clutch left by adjusting the pedal and you have to replace it, it's a weekend job and a couple hundred bucks. I don't think it is one of the aluminum bell housing Hinos so a loader shouldn't hurt it. The one downfall may be front axle gears w/ a loader...Brent Pepper (Tractors4u TBN name) owned several MF 1030's and a Hino 2304 that broke front axle gears from using a loader. Now these are smaller tractors than yours and probably use a different axle and hub.....probably? I can tell you this, the things I would do when using the loader are to always use some type of heavy counterweight....a box blade, finish mower, etc to take some weight off the front end and to make the tractor more stable. You can also make your own counterweight, I would think your tractor could easily handle 800-1000lbs. I would also swap your rear tires around to the widest stance for more stability. They will stick out a little from the fenders but it won't hurt anything and your tractor will be much more stable as far as far as roll over circumstances. The grey market tractors tend to be a little narrow and yours is currently set in the narrow stance, I'd widen it by swapping the rear tires from one side to the other.

The E324 has 7 way adjustible rear wheels.

Even better. I didn't take a close look to see what type of rims it had other than they were dished and from that aspect knew at a minimum they could be turned out.

Iloveketchup: Hinomotoman owns/has owned several models and I'm sure in all aspects can lend a lot of solid support and advice....admittedly, much more than myself. I hope he jumps in on your recent issues in the clutch thread (hint hint )
