That's good. Looks to be a pretty nice tractor...I have a video of that tractor blowing snow. Seemed to work good Bill.

Be very careful. This Shibaura machine may have dropped support from New Holland and parts are getting harder to find since 2020. My neighbor has the 1500 and he's had a hard time finding parts. With that said, there are cross references to both Yanmar, Satoh, Mitsubishi and Hinomoto machines for some general maintenance parts like filters, fuel bowls, starters, alternators and VRs. Other than that, its a bit harder. For example, rear brake shoes.About this tractor. Built between 1983 to 1986. Son is thinking about buying it.

My first thought is yes. BUT! I don't know the difference (if any) between furnace oil and #2 diesel. If furnace oil has sulfur in it, it might actually be better for it. Those older Diesels were designed to run on fuels with sulfur which helps lubricate things like the fuel pump. When they took the sulfur out I started running Marvel Mystery oil in the fuel to help with the lubrication.Can a person burn furnace oil in it instead of diesel fuel ?
You can probably use deep fryer oil, too if you filter it.Can a person burn furnace oil in it instead of diesel fuel ? Self serve furnace oil $1.71 per litre and diesel $2.34 per litre.

Its not an emission generation engine, so you can blend diesel with whatever works. Since furnace oil is a tad thicker, not by much you could get away with 40/60 of diesel/furnace-oil blend. Just be sure to have a new fuel filter, o-ring and bowl. It uses the same filters as the Yanmar SCUT machines.So son is buying this tractor. We feel it’s a reasonable tractor. We know it runs.
