Not saying that I want to own one or anything like that, but I just love the looks of the older Shib SDs! The design of the headlights and grille remind me of some robot character from an old anime. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It does have a unique look. I'm just concerned about parts availability. Of course, if it never breaks down it will never need parts.

Does anyone know where to find a water pump for a 1978 (ish) Shibaura diesel? Who made the motor?? Thanks in advance.

Which specific model? We can get pumps for some of them. Email (not PM) us with specific information and we can let you know.

Nuke,

In my humble opinion Mark777 hit the nail on the head. Stick with popular models (Yanmar,etc.) and a supportive well stocked dealer. Do your parts research before you buy the odd ball with no support.
