Piston ring set for SHIBAURA SP1740 75: 2 x 1.5 x 4 STD

The company was established in 1942 and began producing engines and tractors in 1951. In 1973, Shibaura entered into an agreement with Ford to build a small tractor (Ford 1000) to Ford specifications and styling. Shibaura then produced other Ford tractor models, such as the Ford 1600 and 2110, and continued building small tractors even after Ford acquired New Holland.

The company also produced Yanmar tractors and STIHL power tools. Currently, this brand belongs to IHI, a leading manufacturer of jet engines, power generators and industrial machines. The company started production with engines and garden tractors. After ending the cooperation with Ford, the company began to produce tractors and mini tractors under its own trade name.

Currently, Shibaura has factories in Great Britain, the United States and China. The first compact tractors were created in 1961. To date, Shibaura has produced approximately 70 tractor models.
