It must mean we Iseki owners have little or no problems to deal with :D . Sorry about all those poor Yanmar guys and their troubles....JUST KIDDING! ;) I guess I've got a case of cabin fever with all the snow outside from our one and only blizzard this year in So. CO. Guess I'll just have to...
Hi guys,
Hoping someone can tell me the likely reason my TS1610F does'nt lift my tiller very smoothly. The tiller jerks up in steps as I lift it with the lever. Plenty of hydraulic oil. Haven't checked the suction strainer yet. Could this be it? Any other possibilities to look for? Thanks...
Howdy,
I picked up a Yanmar 2-pt tiller in good condition and plan to use it with my Iseki TS 1610F tractor. Only trouble is it has a 16 spline shaft that measures about 1.175-in. outside splines (compared to the standard 1-3/8" 6-spline shaft on the tractor). My question is: is there an...
Hi,
Wondering if any of you has a source for the one piece rubber dust covers that fit over the ball joints of the drag link and other steering control arms. I have an Iseki TS1610F and need replacements. Are there universal ones available from auto parts stores or tractor supplies? Thanks in...
Hi all,
I have had an on-going problem with oil filling the valve cover on the Isuzu diesel motor of my Iseki TS1610F tractor, and then flowing out the breather after about 5 minutes operation. I was advised it was probably blowby from weak rings. So, I did a top end rebuild...new rings, rod...
Hi guys,
I was going to check the condition of the HW t-stat in my tractor...never did before. Well, in the Bolens G194 manual (closest thing I have to this actual Iseki model) there clearly shows a bolted, rounded casting on top of the upper HW hose connection to the motor with a t-stat...
Good morning all!
I have a grey market Iseki TS1610F that is running pretty good. However, I have never checked the injection pump lube oil before. This last weekend I located the upper oil level and drain screws on the body of the pump and decided it was probably time to drain and change the...
Have any of you added/installed coil springs to your non-sprung stock seat? I have an Iseki tractor with a seat that pivots forward/up from the tractor and sits down on small, round neoprene pads.....not too soft. I really like the stock seat. It looks nicely built and is a good fit for me...
Howdy, just thought I'd give a followup on the problem I'd posted about a few months ago on my Iseki TS1610F that would gush oil out the valve cover breather. Maybe it'll help someone else with a similar problem. Obviously I had plenty of blowby that prevented the oil at the top (head) from...
Howdy, I've got another question for the Iseki forum. Does anyone know the opening pressure of the fuel nozzles for the Kiki fuel injection system? I took one of the fuel nozzle holders apart and realized that I backed off the screw that sets pressure on the spring. I have the manual for the...
Has anyone found a close match in a spray can to the Iseki blue paint color, particularly on the TS series? I found a Krylon Safety Blue which matches the cap of the can real close, but the actual paint color comes out more like a soft baby blue instead of the vivid color on the tractor. There...
Howdy,
I'm in the middle of a motor rebuild on my TS1610F and I was curious if any of you have removed the so-called lifter inspection plugs pressed into the side of the Isuzu block, just above the cam followers. There are two of these plugs, one-each for two lifters, and they are about...
Howdy all you tractor nuts,
I just recently purchased this tractor, my first, for a real good price. Guess I know why now. Ha!
Anyway, need your help in diagnosing this problem. The motor starts real easy and runs well. No smoke after short warm-up. I run the tractor for about 5-minutes and...
I was just wondering if any of you have, or have considered, re-routing your exhaust from vertical discharge to down under the rear axle like a lot of tractors such as the Farmall Cub, International utilities, and Ford 8N's (see attached photo of a re-routed Farmall Cub). I just bought an Iseki...
Hi,
I just bought this tractor, my first, and am pretty excited about it. I haven't had a chance to go over it yet, but did drive it around some and all the drive train seems to work well. I did notice, however, that there's about a 1/4" slop/play where the steering tie rod, or link(?) connects...
