Iseki tx1500 name of lifting arms part?

marcelPL · Dec 24, 2018

Hi all, on my Iseki tx1500 they connected this excavator. But because of the way it is connected, one of the previous owner(s) removed the hydraulic part where the 2 lifter arms are connected to at the back.

It is located under/behind the driver seat.

Anybody has any clue on the name of this part? I want to bring the tractor back to original, But cannot google this part's name. Also cannot find reference in the technical document i have...

Thanks again and happy holidays!

Good morning Marcel. I would guess that a picture or two will be a great help in resolving your situation. I will look for a good diagram of the 3-point system and upload on future post. Perhaps that can help.

OK - best diagram I could find. Your system may have external hydraulic lift rams - on this diagram they are internal. Hope this helps.

Ok the situation is that this excavator is connected straight into the tractor, not using these 3-point hydraulics (if that is the right name?), because this thing just is not there. I cannot see any connection for arms or something. Also the lever that should be to the right side of the driver seat is not there.

I will put a few photo's, hope this will clarify. If anyone has similar photos's on his tx1500 i would appreciate it.

thanks.

Partly. It clarifies a bit. I am looking for the name of the hydraulic part where the top link (and the arms) are connected to...

Here a few pages from the parts manual.

Bingo, that is exactly what i was looking for, thanks...

The bad News is that i think i am right that this complete unit is missing on my tx1500.

Looks like getting this thing back to original might take a bit more time and money than i was hoping...

Thx!

Ok, i decided to take it apart a bit to find out what really happened there. First some photo's to remember what it looked like:

Then started with taking out the drawbar. It does not look to be original, more like someone welded some stuff together...

Then removed to drivers seat to get some space and light:

Then take out the blinkers and the steel construction on which the drivers seat is mounted:

What remains is some steel plate that someone created to be placed on top of what i think is the differential (can someone confirm? I am really blind in this world). Note the missing bolt, and the plastic cap used to fill the reservoir with oil...

Looks like one of the previous owners took a really ****** route to mount this excavator. I will try to find a dealer somewhere close and see if i can still get this part that is supposed to be on top of the differential. Because without it i cannot use it as a tractor...
