I have owned my Bolens H1502 diesel compact for about 10 yrs now. Its an incredible, well built machine. Definitely do not make them like this anymore. Bought it with 715 hrs, selling it now with 825 on it. I primarily used it for snow removal, but 3 yrs ago I bought a new truck for my...

I know this is a compact machine forum, but does anyone happen to own a Fendt 516 machine? I have a couple of questions in the way of lighting for roadway use, transporting between properties, etc. Does this machine have a highway gear, to run at higher speeds than use in fields? Does this...

Hello all, I have been on the forum here in the past with several tractors I have owned, but now I have an unusual issue with a truck of mine, and cannot seem to find a source online for trouble shooting my liftgate ao thought, why not the tractor forum, most tractors have hydraulics. It seems...

I have an issue with a mower I picked up last year, its a Massey Ferguson front mounted deck, I cannot think of the model number now, but it is the exact same mower Simplicity makes called a Lancer, Massey just labels it as their own to sell under their name. Its a great mower, however my...

I replaced my radiator cap about a year ago with a NAPA/Stant cap, it is 7 pounds pressure, but starting leaking not long after getting it, but it has done the job. Anyone know the factory cap's pressure? Or where I can get a Bolen's cap? My parts guy no longer does Iseki's

Last Spring I drove from PA to New Hampshire in this spur of the moment trip to pick up this montrous blower for my H1502. At the time there were all these questions about how much it weighed and will it fit. Well I had to fabricate some mounts for it, as it was originally on a HT20 I believe...

I have an H1502 and it has been a great tractor for me. I ran into a guy buying a motorcycle who has the exact same tractor I do, I saw it peeking out of his shed when we were talking bikes. We then ended up talking tractors longer, he is an older guy not very internet savy. He has a...

I am completely lost in my selection of a new tractor or mower. I am so tired of looking at mowing equipment my head is spinning. I've been a member of the forum here for about 5 years now, I have an older Bolens diesel for snow removal and the Bolens/Iseki forum here has been a godsend in...

So I drove 496 miles one way yesterday, then 525 miles back (dont ask) the same day to pick up this absolutely monsterous snowblower. I about fell over when I first pulled up and saw it sitting at this guy's house, its enormous, its not only wide, its tall. I have been toying with buying one...

I have a line on a 18148 snowblower for sale, its the BIG 48 inch two stage, I was thinking of mounting it on my H1502. Anyone know how these large two stage blowers lift on the Iseki's? I previously modified a single stage 42 inch Bolens to my tractor, I had to change the rotation of the...

My battery is in need of replacement, according to the date on it, its 10 yrs old so im not complaining. However I have only owned the tractor 5 years and the battery in it is smaller than the space for a battery provided. The previous owner stuck these plastic blocks in place to make the...

On my H1502 the rear wheel width is slightly more than the front, can these wheels be reversed to make the tractor thinner? The reason I ask is my blower is about the width of the front wheels, but with the rear wheels sticking out it creates a small area on each edge of my driveway that is...

I am an amateur at welding. I read a lot, watched a lot of videos, but still have a few questions. Im pretty good at fabricating, built my own tractor cab and numerous other things with my MIG. However I still have a few questions. I have only ever used flux core wire with no gas. If I...

So a while back I bought this blower for my Iseki tractor, I finally got around to installing it and guess what, it spins the wrong direction. Anyone know of a fix for this, I cant see one. My PTO spins counterclockwise from the front of the tractor, but the blower spins as if to push the...

I use my H1502 to mainly plow snow, I used to use it in Low all the time, in the past two years though Low seems to not have the torque that it once did, I put it in High which is obviously faster and it feels now to even have more torque in High, which should be better in Low. Low just seems...
