Hinomoto project-can it be done

russnange · Jul 30, 2010

I am new to this site and posted my G,day yesterday, yes I am in Aussieland. I have aquired a Hinomoto C144 4WD. That is about all I know so far, even though I am a jack of all trades and mechanically minded, I need as much information as I can get. So far The net has given me very limited information, what I have kind of gathered so far is that I have a "C.U.T." Compact Utility Tractor which has been rebadged as follows, Simplicity 9518, Massey Ferguson MF-1010, Allis-Chalmers 5015. The first appears to be correct only due to the fact I stumbled across this link. Apart from this I am unable to find any other valid information. There is a link on this site in the forums but is currently no valid [URL="http://www.simplicitytechpubs.com/6767PRINT/PDF_files/TP_100_3075_00_XX_SA.pdf"]http://www.simplicitytechpubs.com/6767PRINT/PDF_files/TP_100_3075_00_XX_SA.pdf I would appreciate any help. I have attached pics(well attempted to anyway) What do you think, dead or worth a try.

The c144 is closest to the 1010. The other models have a bigger motor. I can supply manuals & parts that are still available.

actually, the C174 is similar to the massy 1010. I have the Simplicity 9518 (same as C174, 1010, and allischalmers 5015). The fuel pump went out on my simplicity so i just recently ordered one and should have it running in the next 2 weeks. your C144 looks almost identical to my simplicity but the engine looks totally different. For sheet metal and maybe tranny parts, you can find them on ebay. Roberts tractor is parting out a massy 1010 (this is where i got the pump) and they have a TON of parts still available since they just started parting it out.
