I only got one shot before my phone battery ran out! Will get more tonight as I need to inspect the ram cylinder to make sure it's repairable. There is more damage than this! The grinding from bevel gears in obvious, but there are some more curious indentations that make me wonder if they were...

Hi All, I've just done an engine transplant on my TX1300. It now has a TX1500 engine in it. In fact, it is more TX1500 than 1300 as the rear transaxle and gearbox are also TX1500! However, in swapping engines I have lost all power in the rear lift arm. The hydraulic system is all from the...

Is that what you need? I have a similar problem, lack of compression, but I suspect finding oversize pistons will be impossible for this engine. Let me know how you get on.

Hi Guys, Been a while since I've been on here, very busy with projects and travel. A couple of months ago I got sick of the dead beat engine on my TX1300F, however this is my go to tractor as it has the 4WD and the FEL. The engine needs a total rebuild - but that's another story. But I have...

I have a bit of a conundrum here with my wheels and tyres with my TX1300F and TX1500. I want to convert one of these to turf tyres and I have a pair of galaxy turf 12ll_16 tyres lying around that I would like to use on the rear of either the 1300f or 1500. If I put them on the 1500 there is...

So some interesting findings. Looks like I was possibly wrong about the cylinder walls coking up, barring the engine over it seems that might have just been where the last lot of half burnt diesel settled after the last failed start - under the pistons last position was fine and the rings and...

Here's the page in question, if you can make sense of it.

Hi All, Long time since I've posted on here, but reading the threads - just haven't been able to contribute much. My TX1300F just won't start in the cold weather, so I'm finally going to have to do something about its compression (lack of) issues. Basically I'm going to have do a valve lap...

Hi All, Been a while since posting, flat out with work up til now. I've acquired a TX1300F (still have the TX1500 but now for sale) with a front end loader, everything works but it is in need of an overhaul. Part of that overhaul will be sorting out the hydraulics for the FEL. At the moment...

Run them from the inside as Mitch says - here's a picture of my 3PH. Although it could do with a shorter lower through-bar it doesn't seem to matter much when hooked up. Have you got a picture of how yours are set up now?

First test drive and everything works exceptionally well so far (relief!). Learnt quite a bit about the rear end of these tractors through the process if you have any questions. Could really do with a 4WD version, but quite attached to this little beast. I had a look around at a few others...

Showing the PTO case and the implement assembly back on - just the brakes to go back on, quite a bit of time to adjust them to brake evenly and shorten the pedal distance too - suspect the brakes are pretty worn on this transaxle but will keep them in for as long as possible.

New transaxle on and ready to start bolting everything back on! In the end I just lifted the case up and stuck it on the back of the gearbox. Weighs about 170 lbs, don't do it this way if you have a bad back! Quite a tight fit, there are a couple of internal (in the gearbox) bolts that I used...

This is the 'new' transaxle before it was prepped to go in, you can see its not in great nick, but then internall it looks good and that's what counts. This is actually a TX1510 transaxle, you can see it has a different hub system than the 1500 - I considered swapping the axles over but...

Just showing the inside of the wheel and pinion case of the old transaxle - I did think that maybe this would be damaged as well, as it turns out it was fine. Showing the other side - here you can see how the differential is installed via a wire locked internal casing - not press fitted...

Just wheel away the transaxle with a little help from a mallet, here you can clearly see the PTO input shaft - hence the need for a horizontal pull. Clearer picture here of the removal method - could have used a chain block, but this was faster and doubled as a method of moving the transaxle...

Just thought I'd show my method of removing the transaxle with a trolley - just rope it on and go. Worked quite well - good for keeping a level exit, which you need to ease the transaxle over the PTO input shaft.

Hi All, been real busy lately so unable to post, but I finally got the replacement transaxle on Friday and spent Saturday night and Sunday morning doing the swap. Will try to tell the story in pictures. Above is the old transaxle almost ready for removal, all hardware removed including the...

I need to know the measured width of a B8200 with turf tyres. I may be going to pick one up ut by plant trailer only has a 4 ft wide bed! All the websites say it is 140cm wide (55 inchs) but is it really that wide? Can the rear wheels be pushed in on the axle to make narrower if so. Thanks...

Been a lot of requests for info on UK parts suppliers, so just going to list a few that I've found lately. Anyone else out there who has some contacts could list them here too. I'm going to stick with the harder to get parts, rather than the generic service parts as I don't have that much...

In the words of Scottie - its worse than that its dead Jim. So I opened up the transaxle case today.... and all the planetary gears in the diff are missing a lot of teeth. Now, also the pinion and wheel on the left side is also not connecting, although I haven't had eyes on that yet. I'm...

Hi Mitch, Pulled the tractor out tonight, but ran out of light to get it back to the barn and washed down. Took some pulling to get it out, full two tonne pull didn't do it, so had to do a whole lot of digging and loosening up the mud to get it to pull free, quite amazing how stick deep mud...

Just had a nightmare day! Tractor stuck in a bog and now no drive to the wheel either! Drove over the area loads of times and was fine, then maybe one too many times and it just dug itself right it. Anyway its stuck good and even worse while trying to dig and drive it out, lost all drive to...

Hi All, Just discovered this forum, wish I had found it ages ago! Anyway, I have a TX1500 - I recently acquired an iseki Rotavator, of the type that originally would have operated on the paddy field. It is a custom fit to the tractor, you take the 3 pt linkage off to fit it. The only problem...
