This has been discussed in another thread but I changed the o-ring/backup rings today and thought I would document it for reference. 3 pt re ring - YouTube

Anybody ever successfully test/adjust the timing on their KE70 engine (Bolens G15x, Iseki TX1300)? I played around once with this before on a KE70 that originally came with a TX1300F but it seemed like that one checked out ok. I just rebuilt another one in a Satoh S370D and the fuel pump had a...

I have around a 55 hp 4 cyl diesel in a Waldon loader. Runs a Nippon Denso pump. The only markings I can find are on the oil fill cap and the same symbol is cast into the block. Anybody recognize this? I'd say Japanese but I really have no idea. I don't see any other nameplates, etc.

I came across the KE70 and 75 curves so I thought I'd add the K3A and B curves to them and post all of them here so they are easy to access. I'm actually surprised how linear the power curves are for the KE70/5 and how flat the torque curves are. More so than I would have thought. it's also...

Posting this here incase anybody in the Iseki forum is familiar with the hydraulics on a Bolens G19x/G24x or Iseki TS1910/TS2220 machine. Thanks in advance! http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/311570-loader-addition-bolens-g244.html#post3765807

Hi all. Looking for help/advice on tapping the tractor hydraulics on a Bolens G244 machine to operate a loader from another dissimilar tractor. Based on the manual and looking at the transmission housing, I've concluded I need to tap into the hydraulic cap shown in the attached picture. The...

Here's part 1 of adapting a Kubota snow thrower to a TX Iseki. You might want to wait until it's done before setting out to convert one though. I have no idea when and if I'll actually get it done, so bear with me in the interim. The only potential problem I can see at this point is the drive...

Someone asked about the front PTO ratio for a model 1308 PTO but I can't find the post now so I'm starting a new one on it. Today I took one apart and found the driver pulley to be 110 mm O.D. and the driven pulley to be 148 mm O.D. Not to be confused with the 'pitch diameter' but this still...

Here's the "gray market" version of your tractor (with 4wd) if it were imported to the US in all its gray-market-glory: Not really much difference except for paint, maybe the seat, and some attachments that "legitimate importers" such as Bolens could apply from their existing line of...

Well after some time pondering the whole turbocharging a factory N/A diesel and seeing a recent post (which I can't seem to find further information on another site which was referenced), I decided to try to adapt a turbo to a Mitsubishi KE75 engine to see how it would play out. At my...

Thanks. A couple nice features of a 3-pt crane: 1.) It allows smaller tractors to have the ability to lift more than a typical boom pole and loader setup. Of course the crane needs to be set down to do so. You can still pull the unit along assuming the ground is hard and level enough to...

I always wanted to rig up a 3-pt connection to move my shop crane around. Finally got around to it. Works great for pulling up small trees/shrubs with the mobility it has now. I only plan on transporting it and not using it like a boom pole but I suppose it could be used like that as well...

Today I moved the remote hydraulics off my donor machine to the TX1300F. I marked all the hose connections so they would go back the same way they came off the other tractor. After everything was together enough to test it I bled the lines of air and that seemed to go ok. Then I discovered...

On my KE engines, the same spot is just a finished casting. No luck here with that option :(

Looks like the weather is going to cooperate here this weekend so I'm going to push forward with a KE70 to KE75 engine swap. I plan on having it finished up by the end of next weekend. I'm not documenting every step, just a few snapshots. The biggest problem I had so far was splitting the...
