Shibaura make alot larger mowers and tractors . The reason its still working is Ford did not touch the design . Shibaura and Kubota are big competitors thru out asia and Pacific regions . Once you have mowed with a diesel you will never have a gas again ever.
I believe it is a double belt that runs direct off the engine located either right behind the grill or a black plate directly below the hood/grill area. It is a simple tension style engagement setup that may need to be adjusted tighter or the belts replaced. This setup in turn drives the shaft going to the deck.
I would NOT use it full time, this should be a collector tractor used a few times a year, it would bring good money to collectors, and believe me there's plenty of them. It is too good for daily wear & tare!
It's actually a Shibaura, re branded as a Ford, had one for 27years, best small tractor ever
Not built today like this one. This is a keeper! Not a throw away 2 year old Home Depot special.
Post some new video of it cutting grass. Awesome little tractor 👍
Beautiful tractor! I have the same model, but 1990. I also have the rear pto and 3 pt hitch. I use it to till gardens with. Love it!!
Oops, sorry. Mine is a 16D!
Now that is cool!
Made in Japan actually means quality. Interesting not a ford guy but it's really cool.

Would you consider selling ? Seriously thanks. That thing is beautiful
What type of gas does the ford 120 lawn tractor take?
I have recently bought myself a 1989 and I’m looking for parts if can can you help me with information on getting new belts and tips?
When I needed parts I was actually able to get them from directly from the local new holland dealer without any issues
I’m about to trade for one motor is strong but pto blades don’t engage do you know how to fix that ?

Yes I only use it occasionally for lawn cutting duty or to pull a wagon around the property for light work
Damn was that thing restored or is that clean. Beautiful
