Ford 1200 = Shibaura ???

[Norsky4360]

I have a Ford 1200 (model year 1980) and understand it was built by Shibaura. Would anyone know what the model designation would be in the Shibaura line?

I need to replace the radiator and F/NH wants close to $1,000 (if the radiator is even available) and I can't seem to find an aftermarket unit.

Thanks.

Have you tried to have your old one recored at a radiator shop?

Because of the design and materials used in it I've been told by 2 different radiator shops that it is unrepairable. That's why I'm looking for a replacement.

I don't think you'll find an aftermarket one. The closest Japanese model uses a different radiator. The outlets are in different positions.

Thanks for the input. I ended up getting an aftermarket radiator for a Ford 1210 and fabricating a bracket to mount it in place.

Back in operation again!
