Thats great that you are going to fix it up for the summer, and get it working. Are you going to repaint it, or just get everything moving well? My grandfather has quite a few old rusted implements on the edge of his field, that have been sitting there for probably close to 15 years. He...

There are a few small brands of tractors that are made 100% in the US, but they are not quite like most modern ag tractors. One is powertrac tractors. They are made in Virginia, and have been since 1984. http://power-trac.com/Default.htm The other is Tuff-bilt Tractors that are made...

Hi, Sorry for the late response. Thank you, the one thing that I really like about kit is that it folds down towards the ground, and there is one feature that I did not mention. It is connected by a large velcro backing, and you can pull the entire kit off, and it has the option to attach it...

In the Air Force when I was on the ground outside the wire in our forward deployed locations, we had an IFAK, or Individual First Aid Kit, or in Army Jargon, Improved First Aid Kit. The Air Force one that I had was a bit more extensive, but the Army one that I have from my duty gear, was what...

These are made in Germany, and can take all types of attachments. I know that here in New England they are referred to as sidewalk tractors and most towns, and municipalities have them for snow removal in the winter on the sidewalks, and then mow with them in the summer. I just think that they...

We heat 100% with wood here in New Hampshire, and I am able to heat with about 5 cords or less a winter. I use to drag the logs out, but now I fell the trees, limb, and chunk them, and then I drive the tractor to the trees, and split them in place with my 3PH splitter, and I either stack them...

Hi, Its been a little while since there has been a post on this huge thread, and I thought that I would restart it. Can you name this tractor? Hint* It was manufactured the year the Berlin Airlift started:airplane:

Hi, Just a quick clutch adjustment question. I replaced my clutch over the summer, and I think that the clutch may be adjusted wrong, or there might be another issue. I had to adjust the new clutch all the way out under the tractor because the metal bar that attaches the bolt that goes into...

I actually just inherited a Troy Built Horse from my grandparents and it is an 80's model. It is very heavy, and very well built, and it has a pto so you can attach a wood chipper, snow blower, or plow, and you can add cultivator tines. I am going to put a new engine because years of sitting...

Hi Amanda, You Definitely can. Below is directly from the manual for your H1502. I have a G154, and mine are reversed in, and it works find, and with the 1502, you can do the same. The only difference is you will have to unbolt your rims, where the G series has rims that slide off. Let us...

Hi, I wanted to start a new thread that highlights videos of Iseki Tractors. I admit that I have become addicted to anything Iseki, and I always like seeing what these tractors are capable of, and how they are used. People really under estimate the capability of smaller diesel tractors. It...

I was cutting firewood this weekend in my woods for the upcoming winter, and I dropped a large tree that proceeded to hit a second tree and the top of it hit the tractor that was parked well out of the way of the first tree. I saw the whole tractor shake when it hit, and I was afraid to see the...

Hope that helped a bit! We move them around all the time, and I fought with them for years before using the carry all. They are not very expensive to buy one, just about $125ish. This is mine with the pallet attached. I just lower it and slide the on. The pallet only sits about 4 in high.

This is the type I was thinking of, and you could use this to tow if the weld does not work out.

Hi, I have my new clutch in my G154, and it has been working great, but it occasionally still grinds when I am completely stopped, have it out of gear and ideling, and then re-engage it, and put the tractor in gear. I am worried that it have be the gears, or I may just need to adjust it a bit...

I found an Iseki Tiller on eBay if anyone needs one, and lives in West Virginia. I would love to have this, but thats just too far for local pick up only. This one is designed for the TX1300-1500 series, Bolens G152/4-G172-4. They are great tillers.. I really wish I could just drive to these...

Hi, I have an MTD 20hp riding mower, and I have been trying to take very good care of it, since I cannot afford a new mower right now. It is about a 2001 model, and my this past week, it seems like everything went bad. I had to replace the battery, the drive belt, and the starter just started...

Hi, So, I have a bit of a question about using a modified draw bar, that was on my G154/TX1300F when I bought the tractor. I have been looking for about two years for a factor draw bar mount with no luck...I thought that I found one in the UK, but they never got back to me. I found one here...

I finally replaced my clutch today! It works great, and it was quite a surprise to see the 30 year old clutch. The fingers were worn down completely. It was no wonder I was having such bad issues. I was worried that I was going to wreck my gears, so I finally bit the bullet, and it done...

Hi, Just a quick general question. I just bought a 55 Gallon drum that is basically brand new, but it once contained John Deere HyGuard hydraulic oil. I have drained the last bit out, but there is still a light coating on the walls of the drum. Possibly less than 5 ounces. I was wondering...

It had an emergency number sewn into the label. I contacted them, and found that it was treated with Vita-Flo 280, and I spoke directly with their chemical control hotline. They were the ones who gave me the information regarding the product, and they stated that the chemical burns would have...

Hi, Sorry for the late response! I have been very busy this week, and I hope that springs going great for you! That would be great if you would be able to let me know if you come across this part some day! I have been looking for quite some time, and I have not had any luck. I am looking...

There was a thread on here last summer about replacement rims for the Bolens Series/Iseki TX series front and rear rims. Right about the same time, I accidentally cracked my right front rim when I replaced my tire while not using a torque wrench. (I have since bought one, and I use it...

I have been following the threads and contests on TBN and I have been looking for some time to add much better lighting to my G54/TX1300F since my factory lighting is just not bright enough while in the woods and in my pasture at night. After very careful consideration, I purchased a single low...

Thats too bad about the splines and the pin. I attached the exploded diagrams and hopefully we can help you get the tractor repaired, and hopefully it will be relatively inexpensive! I have weights on the front of my G154, and I had to measure very carefully to get the most weight out of the...

Hi, We have a small equine breeding farm, and we are currently feeding grain, and hay every day, and we have been looking into switching to a fodder system using barley. Has anyone on here used Fodder to feed their horses, and has it worked? WE have found a supplier for bulk Barley, and they...

I updated my lift all today with a heavy duty pallet because I use my lift all almost every day, and I only had a smaller wooden pallet that just could not hold enough. It took me awhile to locate a heavy composite pallet because no one wants to give one them up, or sell them. I had to modify...

We live in New Hampshire, just over the boarder, and we ordered our 5 stall, 12X54 barn from a company in Maine called Hill View mini barns. We never actually went there, but we looked at a lot of barn, and shed companies in Mass, NH, VT, and ME. Hill View had the best prices by far, and they...

Hi, My oil drain plug is very worn, and I want to replace it, and the gasket is also missing, but the issue that I am having is that the parts is just about non-existant. The bolt is available for $30. Crazy high price for one bolt, and I figured that I can replace it by matching it. I...

Hi, Sorry for the delay! I have had about the busiest three weeks in a long time. I saw that you were able to get some photos. I hope that these help a bit. What part of the air filter set up did you need to work on? Hopefully you were able to get the started wired allright. I had to...

Hi, Just wanted to touch base with you guys on the East Coast, and New England, and see how you are coming in preparing for Sandy:hypnodisk:. I am hoping that it will die off when it makes landfall, but the weather maps donot look very good, with at least very high winds, and potentially large...

I filled my tractor about two weeks ago, and I just drove it yesterday for the first time since I filled it, and the exhaust smells like rotten eggs. It has never smelled like this before, and I bought my diesel from the same station that I always have. The only new thing that I did, was an...

I did some research, and I found the location of the suction filter. It is located under the seat where the low pressure line attaches to the hydraulic cylinder case. See the attached diagram. I hope this helps a bit!

You did a great job with the project, and it looks like it was professionally manufactured for your tractor! You have a great set up. I also really like the fire extinguisher mount that you put on. I mounted one to my tractor yesterday, but not nearly as nice as you did. Are you going to...

I came across these loaders, and a photo of a TX with one attached today, see below. They are made by Farm King, and the loader is a model 95. They make a mounting kit specific for the TX/G series tractors, and I was wondering if anyone has one of these loaders, or knows anything about fFarm...

Hi, We have a deep well, and we use a pressure tank with a pressure switch, and the tank normally gets to about 60psi before the switch shuts off, but lately the switch is has not been working when it should. It is pretty corroded. The question I have is how do I know what switch to buy to...

I finally bought a log splitter for my G154/TX1300F, and it works great. I bought a ramsplitter 16ton with a PTO pump, and it fits great, and splits huge logs very fast. I couldn't be happier with it, and I am actually very impressed how well the PTO hydraulic pump works, while keeping the...

I found the quantity in the manual for you..It should be 2.6 liters. This is from the service manual for the 2cyl models. Also It has the lubrication points. Mine is also the 2cyl model. If I can find anything else in there, please let me know, I would be glad to post it for you. I used the...

Thats a great looking tractor! I like the FEL, and the finish mower! Were you able to get the rear wheels off yet? Your rear tire look like the original turf tires that came with it. Mine had the same ones when I bought it, but I added the R1 ag tires, because I needed the traction when I...

I just bought, attached and used my new Speeco 3 point post hole digger from Country line, at Tractor Supply. This thing is a beast! It was not fun to assemble, because it is VERY heavy, but, once you have it together, and once you fill it with gear oil, then you are ready to go. The PTO...

I found these two diagrams in the service manual that may help, but they are a bit technical:

I found these two pages from the service manual that may help. Sorry, it is a bit blurry, It is actually one page, but I had to save it as two:

Someone made an Iseki TX1300 into a MF look alike. They actually did a pretty good job with it.

This thing is amazing! I really, really want one! I guess I can dream:)

I was having issues towing a trailer behind my G154 because at some point before I owned the tractor, the draw bar attachment was removed. I bought a draw bar stabilizer and it works very well so far. It is the A fram that attaches to your draw bar. I painted the drawbar and the stabilizer to...

I thought that this was a very important article, and a sad way that this county is allowing big business to crush the american farmer. In michigan, they have outlawed heritage breed pigs, and this could rapidly spread to other states and other animals. If you do not slaughter your pigs, you...

I have been tired of working the dark behind the my tractor at night in the woods. I use to have a utility light mounted on the tractor b, but I could not really aim where I needed it, si I purchased a spotlight that was meant for an ATV, but it worked great. Its a Blazer ATV spotlight, and it...

Hi Guys, I just had a quick question if anyone has had experience changing their PTO seal. I bought a new seal, and I would like to replace the old one, because I plan on using the PTO a lot more. How complicated is this job, and do you have to drain oil? Also, as you can see, the draw bar...

I have a Stihl 290 Farmboss chain saw that has an 18 in bar. I heat with wood, and I need something smaller, that I can use to trim, and fit in smaller spaces. I have a craftsman 32cc saw with a 16in bar. I want to save money, and not buy another saw. Can I put a 12in bar on the craftsman...

I am not sure if my clutch is starting to go, or if it just needs adjusting. When I push in the clutch all of the way, sometimes it will grind gears for a second, but not always. I know that they said that it may need adjusted when I bought the tractor, and I lowered the bolt below the clutch...

Hi, I have a general question if anyone knows the answer, because I have not been able to find a ton of information in my repair and operators manual. I have not changed the hydraulic fluid in the rear of the tractor since I have owned it. The manual says that there are three drain holes, and...

Hi, I just added 4 suitcase weights to the front of my G154, and had the front tires loaded today for counter weight because I have had a problem with airborne front tires this week. I ordered the weights through Tractor Supply, and they were listed as steel, however when they came in on...

I found a nice G174 for sale on ebay. He has it for sale in Alabama if anyone is looking. I wish that I could buy it, but I am working on mine right now, and my wife would kill me if I had two tractors. The link is, Bolens Iseki G174 4wd 4x4 Diesel Compact Garden Tractor **NO RESERVE** | eBay

I have been working on my Bolens G154 Iseki TX1300F and just gave it a new paint job, and decals. It was preetty rough when I got it, and it dosen't need to look new to work hard, but I like it better that way, and it will probably make the metal last twice as long. The condition I bought it...

I am ready for spring. I have not been able to use the my tractor most of the winter and as you can tell, I am ready. And Bored with winter. Mitch Bolens G154 Short Drive - YouTube

I just needed a bit of advice if anyone knows about the 4wd front gear case. case. There is one on each side, and there is a grease zerk on the top. I believe the grease goes into the socket that hold the front arm that looks like a silver bowling ball, I think its called the king pin...

Hi, I have not changed the oil in my Bolens G154/IsekiTX1300f since I have owned it, since the dealer had done it when I bought it. It is time for an oil change, and I have the new filter, but do I change it just like a car? I found the filler cap, the drain plug, and the filter, but I have...

Hi, I just thought that I would share a program if you were not aware of it with you guys. I just got a grant for ROPS, and I purchased them, and installed them on my G154. I know that this is a smaller tractor, but I was hauling firewood, out of my woods because we heat our farm 100% with...

Hi, I am new to the forum, and its great to meet everyone and see that there are fellow tractor owners/enthusiasts on here. So I have a Bolens G154/Iseki TX1300f 4WD tractor. I am looking at installing a front end loader, and a wood splitter, however there are no hydraulic ports. I hear...
