Hi guys, I am up in the Burlington VT area and recently purchased a G174. It is a little rough around the edges but seems like a real nice tractor. I am currently having an issue with high gear though. I will get some pictures of the tractor up soon.

Hi im new to the Iseki crowd just picked up a TX1500F it is cosmetically challenged to say the least you say all these model numbers have more or less the same body parts because I'm looking for a bonnet and grill just wondered if any of these bonnets would fit

I have an early Bolens G154 which is an Iseki TX1300F. It has a 2 cylinder engine.
I read somewhere that a 3 cylinder engine model tractor has a longer bonnet
which would make sense because of the extra cylinder. So not all bonnets are
the same length.

The three cylinder hood/bonnet is about 2.5 cm longer. Almost indistinguishable visually but enough to not work without modification. The rest of the sheet metal components appear to be interchangeable. The transmissions are different too and are not compatible with the engine bolt patterns (i.e. 2-cylinder engines only bolt to the transmissions they originally came with and vice versa unless you want to try your hand at difficult adaptations).

Thanking you sir I’m not very good welding tin work so I think I’ll keep looking for a 2 cylinder bonnet that will fit anybody out there got one going?
Thanks again
