Thanks to the OP for this thread. I originally saw this post almost 15 years ago and made a mental note of it. Now with my 1533 at 15 years and 350 hrs I need to get prepped to change out the seals. The photos and parts are put into the attached pdf for use and reference. If anyone knows the...

I picked up a Noble 4-row cultivator similar to the one pictured here. I arranged it to work for 2-rows on a pretty narrow 25" row spacing. I pulled it through for the first round of cultivating sweet corn and it worked well. Does anyone have any information on the Noble brand and where...

We get 7-8 inches of snow by the time I get home to start moving it, including a mile drive/plow to the 4-lane hwy to plow the median so the Mrs. can get across to get home. Just as the light subsides I pull out of the garage and go to hit the lights and... nothing. The turn signals give just...

Here's a heads-up for those who may want to stock up on some filters. NAPA (at least my locals are) is selling oil, fuel air, etc. filters for 50% off. I grabbed two oil filters (#1360) for my 1533 for less than $10 total. Heck of a deal if you need them. Sale runs through the end of Oct.

I have my 1533 w/ FEL home now and am looking to the future and adding power beyond; first to the rear and then perhaps later to the front. Q1, how expensive is the 2-valve PB Massey kit for the rear? What comes (or what doesn't come) with the kit, does it including the handles/levers for the...

I read the following post, and the comment on the tires struck me; I'm getting a 1533 w/ the R4's in a couple weeks. I have always assumed that the tire choices were either R1, R3, R4 etc. I recalled this post specifically calling out large R4's after coming across the pictures HERE...

I've got a 1533 waiting for me to pick it up in a few weeks. Is there a manual available anywhere online? There's no better reading than a piece of equipment's service manual! :)

I've been looking at the 1529, 1532 and 1533 w/ FEL and the shuttle transmissions. What are the differences between the 8 and 12 transmissions? Is it just a matter of having more gears in closer ratios? Do they operate in the same manner? Are they similar to operate, both operational and...
