This past Saturday was a beautiful day here in PA and I wanted to catch up on some final mowing on our lower property. I was brush hogging the area that has several black locust trees approximately 12" in diameter. I nicked one locust and it moved pretty good and was dying anyway, so I figured...

With 600 hours on the meter, just tonight I noticed that my dash light for the glow plug will not go out. It lights up fine and starts the tractor quickly - but no matter how long I hold the key back to the "glow" position the dash light doesn't go out. When I release the key from the glow...

I had a "near hydro death" experience with my 1520 this afternoon and I'm looking for advice. When I got back to the barn after brush hogging, I'm ready to fuel up and take the rest of the afternoon off. I shut everything down and my heart sank when I heard something running. I looked...

I have the ag tires on my New Holland 1520 front and rear. I have the heavy duty rear chains for the rear and have used them when my gravel driveway gets icy. They aren't the easiest to mount and the tractor rides like a bull calf with them on. I picked up a set of 4 link passenger car tire...

Photo of the plywood box I customized for my 3 pt carry all. I made a lid for it from some left over metal roofing (black in color too) I had to keep the weather out of it when not in use and over the winter since it will sit outside. With the lid on it the better half thinks it looks like a...

With the oldest daughter now a freshman in college and the youngest with a part time job and driving her own car - nobody was playing on the old Eagles Nest Sky Fort I lovingly build for them back in '92, kinda sad in a way. I recovered from my sadness quickly and immediately envisioned a nice...

Picture of my homemade 3 pt receiver hitch I made for my New Holland 1520. Its very heavy duty for my sized tractor. The frame is 3" x 3/8" mild steel (mooched) . The bottom bar is 3/4" thick (mooched off my brother-in-law). The 6" receiver tube (weld on) is from Weaver distributing (great...

Reading all the posts here on canopies and seeing that one of Bird under his - made me want one for my New Holland 1520. Problem is I'm cheap - but fairly handy - so here is my version. I don't have to remove mine where I store it so removing it often wasn't a concern. I used 1 1/2" x 3/16"...

I have a '96 New Holland 1520 and recall reading some recent posts on how adjustments can be made to the hydro foot pedal to make it return to neutral and stop the tractor from traveling. I've had this problem with mine almost since I've had it (new in '96) and basically have just learned to...

Here is a picture of my loader dirt screen. I used some old concrete form 2 x 4s, some 1/2" wire mesh and added some homemade handles. Two brackets hold the screen on the loader during screening and just pick it up to remove it. Works pretty good. We also use it for screening the compost...

1st Problem: No cupholder on my New Holland 1520 and I am getting tired of holding a water bottle or it rolling around by my feet and end up running over it. 2nd Problem: Locating a "heavy-duty" aftermarket cupholder that would mount to my ROPS so its out-of-the-way and yet easy to mount and...
