I read here recently about Gensets needing to be run regularly to prevent loss of magnetism resulting in no longer generating electricity, they still start and run they just no longer produce electricity from not being run for awhile. I understand this happens with the lower priced generators...

Been a great little tractor for 7 years now, I have documented some of the work I have done in past posts here. The clutch goes all the way down but no longer disengages. This looks like a good ebay seller: ISEKI TX13 ,TX15, TX2146,TX216 H152 TRACTOR CLUTCH kit | eBay Is there a better kit...

I am looking to buy a JD 455, made from 1992 to 2001, going to look at it this week, is there any way to tell the status of the hydro clutch pack?

I want to make a stand for my PHD. In just looking at different ones, I do not want one with "legs", looks like too much trouble to get the legs in place and set down compared to the two pictures I attached. So, is the 4x4 in the first pic the best option? or the metal "bucket" in the second...

I use a variety of heat sources and believe a room - portable humidifier is my only solution for winter, 600 sqft home. I want to end the endless filling of water tanks manually. I want to buy it ready to plumb in but I can not find such, if anyone knows of one please share. My second choice...

I have a first year 3038, so 6-7 years old, about 580 hours of light use, The ignition switch collar is loose, key is hard to turn and I have to push in hard to get it to turn. I am afraid I might break off the key in it. Is there a repair for this or replace it with a new factory unit? or an...

I finished the barn HVAC duct work, thanks for all the help! Now just to hang curtains for the storage area (above) and I will be done with this project! J PS for those that did not see my original thread...

I put a packaged HVAC system in my barn. It has 16 inch supply and return trunks/tubes from the manufacturer. I have routed them into the barn and it heats and cools the main area fine. I have bought round metal ducts in sizes 16, 14, 12, 10 and 9 inches. This will look like what you see for...

I searched and searched for a correct front wheel, I ordered the Kubota wheel but is was way too wide despite being the same numerically. Here is what I found: YouTube John

I did this on my 1500 on the glow plugs, VID369 - YouTube

My clutch no longer disengages, I have read the three threads here I found to replace it and am comfortable doing it myself. But while reading the threads I noticed what appears to be a clutch adjustment rod that goes at about a 45 degree forward - upward angle, from the clutch pedal towards...

I have electric heat and window air units, I want to add two mini splits, the old heat/ac will remain for redundancy. I am trying to reduce my electric cost. I am considered a Mid-South Location, Paducah KY, about North Carolina - North Texas climates. I am looking at this unit and would like...

I have read here about using 4 to 6 inch PVC pipe and I like that idea, not sure how to attach PVC to a tractor though. If you have another solution please show me that too. John PS I have plastic fenders/hood so those are not a good mounting spot for me. It is a loader tractor but how to...

I inherited a 48 inch deep workbench that is just too deep for my purposes. I want to cut it down, not sure if 24 inches would be too shallow. I could of course make it 30 or 36 also, any opinions?

I need to cut some plexiglass, I do not know of a plexiglass cutting forum and am on here a lot so asking here. In my past experience too fast a blade speed will melt the plexi so I plan to use my variable speed jig saw, would a fine or coarse tooth clade be better? I am thinking fine. or...

This is my first winter with my new to me 3038e, the owners manual says to put the range lever in low and turn the key to start position for X seconds, then move the lever to neutral and let it start. It does not say what is going on in the machine. Does this activate an internal heater? All...

In case you are wondering what I do out there: Here is Grandmother, Daughter and Granddaughter One of Grandmother's sons after a day of blind retrieves The Daughter in the first pic Another one of my pups I bred

Above pic is the trusses facing west Above pic is the North restroom/small office Above pic is the Hydronic control system that heats the enclosed north and south areas Above pic is the south enclosed area from the main part of the barn.

It is going in my 1,500 sq ft pole barn that has central heat/air via a gas pack. The metal will be attached to the bottom of the trusses. I will blow in cellulose insulation afterwards. I plan to use heavy/thick plastic, visqueen. I see two options but maybe there are other ways? 1)...

First off I would like to say that I found this group about five months ago and found so many great ideas I starting reading from page one, I am now up to page 428, just over halfway to the end which is page 802 currently. I joined TBN six years ago and starting living rural nine years ago. I...

I have the manuals but can not find anything about how to check/fill the steering gear box, it must need lubrication?

I can not find a level plug anywhere on the front end (I have the manuals and they are no help). I have filled all three holes up to the top but am concerned that there may not be enough room for expansion of the oil. Is there a built in "air space" above all three holes?

I want to start this thread to have all the free manuals in one thread that we can then easily copy and paste for the many requests we get for manuals. I think this will be easier for the lookers and the knowers. If you know of where you have found free manuals please post that information...

This is my Ford 3000, 17 second video, I know I should post in another forum but I get more informative answers here (I think its because we have to fix problems on our own, rather than database answers and dealer answers) plus in other forums I have gotten rude answers, never a rude answer here...

HakanTh you hit the nail on the head for me, Big Thanks for your great answer!, But this raises more questions: I have the steel one, so: 1) I have to pull the wheel and manually repack the bearings every 50-100 hours? 2) Is it worth $40 ($20x2) to buy the cast iron ones? (This is kind of a...

I have the service and owners manuals, they are not helpful I have do not have a zerk on either front wheel, I have a variety of zerk sizes. I tried to thread in two different sizes, could not get one to thread. Question 1) Is the center of the spindle, just outboard of the cotter pin, where...

I suppose this can be welded?

Since our mechanical injection pumps have a governor, am I wise to throttle down from full throttle or not?

And been working extra hard since my belly mower went down. My Iseki with these two attachments has been a great investment even though she has been ridden hard and put away wet by previous owners. PS, Its a sunflower plot

Just bought this and can not get the PTO lever moved, I have a feeling the previous owner never used it, so its been in the off position for 30 plus years, I assume this judging by the nice paint (not a repaint) on the swing arms and 3PH in general. It has a Kubota belly mower deck that is...

Enjoy!

Its a real strange critter, I have "posed" in about the position it would fit on a tractor, data plate says Sanyo in lower left, I think it reads LMD TU 700 or TU1700, it could be LMD IU 1700 and what I guess is serial #3003.

Going to look at a loader he says he took off of a TU 2100, its different than most loaders he says (No pics), 1.5 hours away, he says it fits on the front bracket for the weights, does not have arms, only lifts about 3-4 feet, He thinks it is made by Iseki, this would suit my purposes. Does...

Here are pics of the muffler flange, I am thinking of using my hand belt sander which would be a bit awkward, I have a bench grinder that I think might work too.

This should be about the same for most of our models, this is a TX1500, I just changed the fuel filter, no washer, o-ring or gasket was on top (could have been lost by a previous owner). Seems to me there should be one, I checked my Owners, parts and service and repair manuals, none show a...

This is not an Ad, I do not work for Wix or Bumper to Bumper, they have this unadvertised sale every year for 70% off regular prices, according to my local store guys, Mike, Larry, Steve and Larry, they advised me to order in advance as they are sold out mostly on the first day.

Going here, I plan to walk up and down the rows West Kentucky Tractor Parts Sounds like its a big place, let me know, my way to give back to this forum, Happy New Year!

Here is the way I bought it the way the PO repaired (Fixed?) it. I might add its a great little tractor, everything works (except the temp. light), looks tired but starts easy and pulls strong.

Muffler is leaking, I thought I would just take it apart and weld a crack. Its a bit more complicated so I wanted to ask the group about repair/replacement. In searching around this muffler is very expensive if it can be found. I am open to any idea, I heard of one idea of making two stacks...

I just drained my rear end/hydro oil, manual says there are three drain plugs (without saying more) all I found were two drain plugs on each side of the pumpkin searched all under the trans/rear end. Its an early model with the two cylinder engine if that matters... Is there a third plug I...

I have the horizontal shaft, model 380447 type 0079-E1 or(I) Code 03040711, I think i got pretty god pics attached. Its been sitting for two years, I just got it, starts and runs good on starting fluid, so I figured I needed to clean the jets. I got the fuel bowl off and from reading other...

Hi, got my new water pump in the mail, ready to put it on, wanted to see if anyone uses gasket sealer or if there are any other procedures to follow. I would rather ask than be sorry later.

Hi all, Owners manual says to clean the hydraulic screen filter but does not tell where it is. My guess is that its on the front of the hydraulic pump at the front right of the engine. But before I start taking things apart I would like some opinions. My best guess is that I have to remove the...

Hi everyone, I am pretty sure this is a bad water pump, but I need the community's opinion as I am not an expert. Fan stopped turning, I loosened the fan belt and tried to turn it by hand, it turns real hard then gets easy to turn then hard again. I assume I take the fan off then the water...

Boom will not go up Goes down fine (See pic, please don't laugh in my face) Three things 1) boom up control valve lever does not fully depress (does not come toward me as if something is preventing it from fully operating the valve). 2) It has lost the "springyness" for up boom, springs fine and...

Hi, this is for a LW7, running a prince 7 gpm pump, fed with 1.25 inch hose, 3/4 inch outlet hose. It was 24 degrees this morning, 34 now, 10:45am, no power when I first started to dig, I let it high idle for about 45 minutes with the pump on, ran it at 1,200 RPM, I then had decent power to dig...
