I don't think this one has a shut off solenoid--just a manual fuel shut off. I looked in the service manual---I'll check in the parts book later to make sure. Any other ideas?

Ford Shibaura Starting Problem

The previous responses reflect my own experience. I've searched for parts for weeks including grey market specialist and salvage yards. One of the reason I bought an old Ford is that I expected it would be easy and cheap to get parts. I was wrong. I still think pound for pound I'd go for a 25 year old US/Japanese tractor over the newer Chinese made machines. Shibaura is now part of IHI. They make alot of small engines and miniexcavators. The parent company has a deal with Perkins and they make a small Shibaura/IHI/Perkins engine in Georgia--thousands of them. Does anyone know whether the short block on these Shibaura designed engines can be adapted to the older Ford tractors. My Shibaura is a LEM 853, 28hp 3 cylinder diesel.
