Satoh beaver tractor?

[epeters]

I recently acquired what appears to be a very solid Satoh Beaver tractor with four wheel drive. It starts right up and seems to be in overall excellent condition. Does anyone know much about this tractor? Its good/bad points? I could not find a factory fuel filter and had to replace with a generic in-line. Are parts hard to find?

Any info/thoughts on this would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
Eric Peters

I can supply you with parts & manuals for your tractor. You should have a filter that has a sediment bowl to seperate any water that may get into the fuel.

Generally tough little tractors. However, remember that this is front wheel assist. If there is a weakness it is the axle and yoke in the front wheel drive. If you overload a front end loader or otherwise ask the front axle to do more than it was designed to do you run the risk of breaking one of these two expensive and scarce parts. Use common sense when operating it. We sell parts and manuals for the s370, and I have a large inventory of used parts. Bill - satohparts.com
