Shibaura SD1840

[gbstu]

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

You can get a manual here. It covers several models including the SD1840. I did a quick search and could find no free downloads for your required manual.

I also replied to your other post.

I have the Ford 1300 operators manual (which I'm told is similar the 1840), I cannot find a trans or rear axle dipstick, does anyone know the fluid capacities (they are not stated in the manual)
Thx, stu
