Ford 1710, Shibaura H843 Engine parts?

[Cooperdog]

Update...Thanks everyone. Had to tear it down and pound out the pistons after finding a blown head gasket. Head is going to the shop. One piston has a couple sections of broken lands. Looking for a new one. Will have everything looked over at the machine shop. Keep you posted.

Can anyone tell me how to find the age of a 3 cylinder ford sod tractor ? Can't find any identification plate or numbers that help ? It is a K&D sod tractor...

hi I am in the same boat. I have a Ransommes ct333 with a Shibaura N843 3 cyl engine seized that I ran without oil after a period sitting up... Any ideas how to get a replacement engine or parts either for retrofit? I am at a loss and thinking of just scrapping her at this stage!based in Ireland.

I have a Ford 1000 with the Shibaura LE892 engine.
The pistons are siezed. I have soaked it in Mystery oil for several days now. Tried a couple of pops with a dowel and mallet. Dont get to move but a fraction.

Going to start the tear down soon. Any parts supplier here in the Central Valley of California that anyone knows about?

This may be an old response but I think there is a new and improved solution to a stuck engine that won't break free. The cure used to be Marvel Mystery oil and let it soak for a couple weeks. Now, it's Kroil Oil and let it soak.

You can try to move the engine different ways. A socket and bar on the on the crankshaft bolt, compressed air in the cylinder, etc. Once it moves even a little bit, just keep at it .

Kroil Oil seems to do something special if left alone for a while and you keep nibbling at moving it. Just an FYI
