john deere 1520

So I have just inherited a JD 1520 utility tractor. It has a bucket with pallet forks. The forks will not lift a table that I estimate weighs about 1000 lbs. I put a gauge on the hydraulic supply line to the bucket control valve and it shows 2000 psi at all times except while the bucket is...

Have a JD1520 bought used that we use for mowing. After bleeding brakes have both solid high pedals. After a few hours of mowing, start to lose brake pedal height. Pumping is then required to get a partial pedal..... need to bleed brakes again to regain a good pedal. Any thoughts or ideas...

Good evening, I tried adjusting my hydraulics on the 1520 because I would have a hesitation at times when trying to raise the hay rake (John Deere 350). When making the adjustments I wasn't able to get the draft setting into the "D" setting but able to go through LD and L. Are there any...

I recently purchased a 1969 John Deere 1520 gas tractor. A friend of mine serviced the tractor for me and it seems to be running well. However the differential lock pedal doesn't spring back like it is supposed to and the brake pedals seem to stick. Any advice on troubleshooting this stuff...

I've been looking for an old tractor, 40-50 hp, to use around the house for a while. It'll be mainly used for pasture mowing on some some fairly steep slopes. I've tracked down a guy who has a JD 1520 with a Great Bend FEL on it. I'm fairly familiar with the JD 820 but I know absolutely...
