My little tractor is due for some regular service, in particular repacking the front hubs. These are a little different than I'm used to, they aren't tapered roller bearings, but open cartridge bearings with ball bearings. (they also have a castle nut with cotter pin) Do I still tighten things...

My Dad's neighbor of almost 50 years moved to NC. He gave my Dad a ton of stuff he didn't want to move, some was pretty nice, some seemed like it should have gone in the trash. I'm not griping, I'm grateful I ended up with a functional generator, and a bunch of decent bench tools I've given to...

My little bolens/iseki came with 4 link ladder chains. They help some and make the ride pretty rough with the 3 point blower on. My Dad found an old set of chains that are similar length, but for a narrower tire. I'd hoped to make these into 2 link ladder chains, but I think I'm going to try...

I noticed some cuts in my tires while taking the chains off so I thought I'd look around for tires, just to get some ideas. I've got tires on now, and can find several models of those in 29-12.5x15. I thought I'd try to find industrial tires on that size, but no dice. Am I looking in the wrong...

I was looking at block heaters for a tx2140 with the k3a and am trying to sort out which frost plug would get used. I read what was on Katz web page and I'm missing something from their directions. Has anyone installed one of these ?

About 30 miles from me. I've been to his farm stand, I hope the best for his family. Tractor driver killed in Columbia County - Times Union There are lots of ads in this newspaper's site, but the other one covering the accident has a paywall.

Another forum I read has such a place. I'm not sure how it's moderated.

The mower that came with my 1502 is rated for 540 rpm. The Bolens doesn't quite get there in the PTOs first ratio, only 454 rpm. It mows ok there for me. I've been playing with using the second PYO ratio, which would give 724 rpm at the rated engine speed, but slowing the engine to 2000 rpm...

So I've finally caught up on other stuff to get moving changing the coolant on my Bolens 152/tx2140. The drain on the radiator is pretty snug and I don't want to tear up the radiator horsing on it. I put some penetrating oil on it to let it work, but am looking at pulling the lower radiator...

I'm getting set to flush the antifreeze in my Bolens 1502/Iseki TX2140 and I'm not happy with the looks of the radiator cap. It's pretty ugly but still working. Does anyone have a cross reference to a replacement one handy ?

Last fall I picked up a little Bolens/Iseki tractor. It's not a huge tractor, but I thought a carryall would be very handy for it. I have a bunch of 1.5x4x3/8 c-channel from an old pool that I think will work for this. (and I'm cheap) My plan is to make a square out of 4 pieces, and use 2...

One of the things I'd planned on doing with this tractor other than snowblowing was turning the garden. I have a single bottom plow and disc for the sleeve hitch on my Sears garden tractor so I figured I could make something. I have a bunch of 1.5x4 inch 3/16 C channel so I cut a 5 inch piece...

Is there a source for finding the year of a Bolens/Iseki by its serial number ?

I'd like to possibly (price dependent) add hydraulics to my 1502 without cutting the lines. I see some members have had a manifold made. What sort of costs are involved ? Am I better off trying to source a used manifold ? Is cutting the lines and tying in a better option price wise ...

I've got a Bolens 1502/Iseki TX2140 that I'd like to put a toolbox on. I was thinking of using an old ammo can on the ROPS. I'm a bit worried I'll be hitting my elbow on it regularly. What has anyone else done for this ?

So I'd like to flush the coolant on my Bolens 1502/Iseki 2140 this spring. What's the right coolant ? The manual just says 'coolant' . Does that mean plain old 1988 green coolant, diesel with sca coolant or something else ? I was leaning towards Peak Fleet Charge, but is that right ? The...

The Bolens tractor I have has ROPS, but no seatbelt. I'd like to add one, but what and where should it attach ? I'd think it would need to be a point just behind where my hips are on the seat. Is there a guideline ? Aaron

Hi, new guy here. I've been running a Sears garden tractor since 99. She's seen snow plowing, garden plowing and mowing duty. I've just picked up a Bolens/Iseki diesel with a 3 point plow and finish mower. I'm working to mount a plow on her before winter to give some versitility moving snow...

I've picked up a Bolens/Iseki 1502 tractor. She runs well and has always been stored inside. It has a 6/2 transmission and the Mitsubishi K3A diesel. I'm new to tractor ownership, but I've run some in my past. I do have a couple questions. It came with a 3 point finish mower - Bolens 1348...
