I appreciate the suggestion. This part (or one very similar) is mounted on the firewall. I believed you were right, but after inspecting the wiring, I found that one of the wires to the alternator was bad due to corrosion. I think that's the main problem. The battery is approaching the end...

Hey folks, I have a Shibaura SD2243D that wouldn't start this morning. It sounded like the battery was very weak. I was able to jump start it with a battery block, but even with the tractor running, I see only 12 volts at the battery. I'm thinking my alternator may be shot. My plan is to...

As I think about it - it's interesting that this would have been popular without a loader. I more that doubles the usefulness of the machine - at least for what I do...

Greetings All I have included a few photos of my Shibaura SD2243D. My implements include a ball hitch, sub soiler, rake, backhoe, posthole digger, and rotary tiller. I have a number of problems I would like to take care of and hope you folks might have some ideas. First off I have no...

I purchased a Shibaura SD2243D and am slowly figuring things out. I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping I can get a few answers to some remaining questions here. I'm considering filling the tires with water. Is there any downside to that? Should I do the fronts as well or does it make no...
